Comic Catch May 14, 2008
This week Evil Genius Comics recommends...
All-New Iron Manual - I love these fact files, but what really sold me on this Iron Man focused manual is that it's going to have a run down on all of Iron Man's armors from the original to the current, I assume including the Hulkbuster version, etc. That's what I'm looking forward to.
BPRD: 1946 #5 - Mignola's trip down memory lane into a story involving the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Development pre Hellboy has been fascinating.
Captain Britain and MI13 #1 - I've always liked Captain Britain, even when he was a noncharacterized file in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe (thought I wish someone would adequately explain the switch from that Cap. Brit. to the British Superman he's become). But I have to give this a shot and I hope...hope...that they tie in some of Captain Britain's original UK stories and their wonderful characters. Crazy Gang anyone?
Cthulhu Tales #2 - Ia ia cthulhu fhtagn!
Death Grub - I'm sorry...how cool of a title is Death Grub. Talk about a cool band name...but beyond the title, Ryan Ottley is hella great and a human being given the power to stop said Death Grub before reaching the Earth and killing the populace sounds promising. Plus its tie in with a 24-hour comic challenge.
Fiction Clemens #1 - A sci-fi western. Interesting art (Check out that cover!)...I'm willing to take her for a spin.
Genext #1 - Chris Claremont, who made the X-Men popular to begin with, writes about the next generation of X-Men as if the Marvel Universe timeline progressed at the same pace as our own...What if the X-Men were really founded in the 1960s? What would the X-Men look like 40 years later in our time?
Goon #24 - Um...it's The Goon. Duh.
Guardians of the Galaxy #1 - I purchased the first Annihilation series and thought it was great, but I'm getting tired of the tie-in/miniseries mega-events, so I didn't continue when whatever the second one was called started...but this series has Rocket Raccoon...I have to see what they do with Rocket Raccoon.
Last Defenders #3 - I've been a fan of every incarnation of the Defenders, especially when they were the team book for C-List and lower heroes. I've enjoyed this series through anger at Stark for being so bloody minded because...I haven't seen any Defenders yet. Just Nighthawk with a hodgepodge of heroes. I have to just keep reading and wait for when Kyle puts Tony in his place.
Locke and Key #4 - Someone tell IDW that covers help sell. I couldn't find a cover to put up. But this is Joe Hill (Stephen King's son...sorry, Joe, I know you don't want that to be attached to your name everytime). This is creepy stuff. It's already been optioned by Diminsion Films...but I can't find a cover...wtf?
Number of the Beast #3 - The Paladins fight against the End of Days. Superheros versus the Apocalypse, so it seems...what's the truth? It's too soon to tell.
Project Superpowers #3 - Fighting Yank continues to try and make up for his mistake many years ago trapping the world's heroes. Great return of some forgotten great heroes.
Serenity: Better Days #3 - They can take the show away, but at least we have our comics. Shiny? Well, it'll do.
Titans #2 - Former Teen Titans who are no longer teens search for the identity of the person assaulting all known Titans. I love seeing how these characters who have really changed over the years reunite and work together.
Transhuman #2 - Companies compete in the new market of creating enhanced humans. If you've read Michael Crichton's Next then you can see where this comes from. Not that that's a prerequisite for this book about genetic testing and Big Business.
Twelve #5 - Unlike DC, Marvel never really embraced it's early superheroes...until now. 12 World War II era heroes awake in today's world. One thing I like is how awkward the heroes face the current era and how out of place they seem...something which, when Captain America resurfaced in modern day, didn't really seem to deal with.
X-Men: Legacy #211 - Professor X is still trying to piece together his memory and that's going to get him entangled with his long dead father and...the Hellfire Club?
All-New Iron Manual - I love these fact files, but what really sold me on this Iron Man focused manual is that it's going to have a run down on all of Iron Man's armors from the original to the current, I assume including the Hulkbuster version, etc. That's what I'm looking forward to.
