The Spotlight...
- MAR092549 DEADPOOL #10 DKR $2.99
They were the best of friends, they were the worst of friends. After surviving a deadly clash with the newest group of Thunderbolts, Deadpool returns to humiliate Norman Osborn during a television recording -- big mistake! The gloves are off when HAMMER's leading man recruits the Dark Avenger known as "Hawkeye" to take DP out for good, but to an old work-buddy, he's the man who never misses -- Bullseye! Paco Medina has stepped it up on pencils, but with Daniel Way still writing, approach with extreme caution! Especially you movie-goers who might be looking for some real Deadpool.

- MAR090128 FINAL CRISIS AFTERMATH RUN #1 (OF 6) $2.99
The first of four exciting Final Crisis spin-off series kick-off with the Aftermath of Martian Manhunter's death, and the sprint-dash the Human Flame will have to undertake as he recovers from succumbing to the Anti-Life Equation, and re-enters the world! It was he who compelled Libra to make an example of everybody's favourite Martian, but now it isn't just the heroes he'll have to answer to, but also the villains, as the once Z-Grade chump gets in way above his head! Sadly there are no signs of Grant Morrison anywhere near the spin-offs, but I'm sure Matthew Sturges and Freddie E. Williams will suffice!

- MAR090151 FLASH REBIRTH #2 (OF 5) $2.99
The mystery-laden return of the long-thought dead Flash, Barry Allen, continues! Picking up immediately after the electrifying events of the first issue, Flash is joined by Green Lantern as he attempts to understand the circumstances of the death of Savitar, and rationalize his place in the world. The Geoff Johns epic ramps up with more from Ethan Van Sciver and the prospect of not only more staggering story reveals, but also a possible six issue! At $2.99 you'd have to be criminally insane to pass up this special event!

- FEB094465 LOEG III CENTURY #1 1910 (MR) $7.95
Like the maxi-series recently popularized by a certain feature film; Alan Moore returns to the easy to appreciate formula of rationalizing various characters from different source points. Those of you who were inspired to read Watchmen as a direct result of the film shouldn't wait for a likewise invitation when it comes to this, the series which unites various familiar figures of literature in a boy's own steampunk superhero adventure! After missing out on the last few series when they hit issues, I've made it a promise to myself not to cheap out again! Be forwarned: this is for mature readers!

- MAR092582 MARVEL ZOMBIES 4 #2 (OF 4) $3.99
Earth-2149's zombie plague invasion continues as Morbius and the newly (re)formed Midnight Sons do their best to exterminate it before the spread reaches population! Out at sea the group of Werewolf by Night, Son of Satan, and Jennifer Kale do battle with hideous zombie fish-men, unaware the decapitated head of Zombie Deadpool has already escape! With news of the zombies reaching dark forces in the MU, the Midnight Sons have unwittingly earned an enemy in the aspiring daemon-wielding Hood!

- FEB092376 PHERONE HC (MR) $24.99
At 104 pages, the ol' issue of pricing can't help but rear it's ugly head. Pherone looks like an exciting escapade into sexy Sin City-esque urban landscapes, boasting similar black and white visuals with powerful colour highlights to draw your attention to significant items and icons. That isn't to say Viktor Kalachev's artwork mirrors Frank Miller's at all, but with blood, babes, bullets, and blades, the preview promises a lot of the same gritty action, albeit with a slick, modern art style. With writing contributions from Patrick Baggatta and Jim Sink, this is definitely an OGN to keep an eye on, but practically, you might want to shop for a sale price. (ADULTS ONLY)

- MAR090160 POWER GIRL #1 $2.99
I feel compelled to at least mention the new Powergirl series, even if only out of some misguided obligation. Personally, previews included in the backs of books didn't set me atingle with anticipation, but the promise of future appearances by the Ultra-Humanite gives some conventional sense of familiarity to a book so far otherwise characterized only by the titular character. Hrm. Pun not intended. Ultimately, I don't know what the impetus for spinning Powergirl off into her own series is, but I hope it can have reason to last. These sorts of projects have a way of dropping off, and as we noted in December [Wall Street War Journal], there's a particular hole in the market where feature female heroines are concerned.

- MAR090166 SOLOMON GRUNDY #3 (OF 7) $2.99
If you read this site and aren't reading this series, then you're a victim of the global financial crisis, or you're a bloody idiot. There's just no two ways about it. If you take any shred of pleasure from the big romping action of a superhero slugfest, then this is undoubtedly the series for you! A bit like this site; Solomon Grundy's monthly escapades are driven by the fights featured each issue, but behind that, some pretty decent writing from Scott Kolins is developing the character and rewriting his history. This month's opponent is Poison Ivy, whose connection to The Green has been alluded to as a faint similarity to Grundy's. Of course, when the mistress of manipulation finds herself confronted with a physical behemoth hiding inside a tiny little man, then she's going to have no choice but to make like a tree! Expect more from this series on the Infinite Wars later in 2009!
