- FEB100130 BATMAN AND ROBIN #11 $2.99
The pieces of the puzzle are certainly shifting in Grant Morrison's Batman and Robin, even if, as we come to the end of the first year's worth of story, they haven't quite begun to form an image we can all clearly understand. That's been half the fun of the ride in this series, which has done well to juggle arc-centric interests with the overall mystery of characters surrounding El Penitente, Oberon Sexton, and the so-called Domino Killer. How these mysteries will overlap with the Return of Bruce Wayne remains to be seen, and I'm greatly relieved just to know Morrison's sticking around for more than the originally announced twelve issue cut-off. I'll be immensely disappointed when this all comes to an end, but will at least take solace in the fact that I was silly enough to overlook much of the writer's initial run on the singular Batman. [Morrison] has the qualities of a perpetual storyteller, one that I would have every faith in if the book were to go weekly for several more years. If only he could be bottled that long!- FEB100500 CAPTAIN AMERICA BLACK PANTHER FLAGS OF FATHERS #1 (OF 4) $3.99
Presumably this series will capitalize on brief flashback sequences seen early in Reginald Hudlin's revamp of the Black Panther [in Who is the Black Panther?], offering a more elaborate look at a WWII adventure that saw Captain America attempt to enter Wakanda in pursuit of Nazi criminals, only to be bested in combat by T'Chaka -- the then Black Panther! Despite a few misgivings about the writer's balance of a none-too-subtle agenda and his story, I'm quite a big fan of that initial arc, and will hope for a worthy follow-up to the history between these two heroes who occupy such big, mythological ideaspaces. One that offers a bit more texture than the two-dimensional drum beating of the flashback.- JAN100266 FLASH SECRET FILES AND ORIGINS 2010 #1 $3.99
It's probably been about a year, maybe more, since we last had an on-going regular series called Flash. You'd have to have been living under a rock to know that part of that is due to the return of one of comics' most legendary heroes -- Barry Allen; the Silver Age Flash! Readers have had ample opportunity to better acquaint themselves with this Flash thanks to starring roles in the eploratory Rebirth mini-series, and throughout Blackest Night, where Flash briefly became a Blue Lantern of hope! If for some reason you still feel the need for an introduction, the Secret Files are for you. Traditionally more factoids than storylines, don't expect this to act as any more than a primer for the new series that kicks off with Geoff Johns and Francis Manapaul later in the month. Fun, but not a must-read.- FEB100506 MARVEL ZOMBIES 5 #1 (OF 5) $3.99
Last year's Marvel Zombies 4 made me a believer -- not just with respect to what had been a fairly thinly spread high concept in the Marvel Zombies brand -- but rather a believer in the remarkable writing talents of Fred Van Lente! He returns to post-apocalyptic Earth-2149 where Machine Man was last seen taking the fight to the zombies, back in MZ3. I love the way the zombie high concept has been folded into the significance of the core Marvel Universe and really enjoy the way that's allowed it to become a platform for neglected heroes, like Morbius and Werewolf by Night in MZ4. Here's hoping that refreshing perspective can continue to be at play moving forward!- DEC091021 STREET FIGHTER II TURBO #12 (OF 12) A CVR RYU $3.95
When UDON's loose adaptation of the Street Fighter mythos was to relaunch as Turbo in order to refocus on the tournament itself, I had my reservations. As a comic and adaptation, the series remains easy to criticize, but on the whole, I think these twelve issues on the whole have at least benefitted from the motivation of the beginning of the elimination bracket. With their final issue in this chapter, UDON will canonize the games' Super Street Fighter II addition of Akuma into the canon, as he jumps in to fight M. Bison in what will presumably be an action-packed blockbuster end to the maxi-series. The biggest question that remains is how well the art studio will perform in the future, now that the most significant portion of the Street Fighter story has been told.- DEC090417 WEIRD WORLD OF JACK STAFF #2 $3.50
As an old fan of characters like The Spider, A.R.C.H.I.E. and Mytek the Mighty, I've always had a real affection for the Jack Staff world. Alas, I constantly allow myself to fall out of touch with these comics. Weird World of Jack Staff seems like the perfect way for readers new and old to jump back in on the quirky and diverse subject of the series' title. Paul Grist's quirky charm might feel a bit jarring at first to those lured by the slick, contemporary styled guest cover art, but I would hope anyone checking it out could overcome that, to appreciate what really is sure to be one of the most genre-spanning works on shelves today. Bright, colourful and full of superhero-lite adventure, it's just a great and fun book. I really just wanted to mention that!- FEB100572 WOLVERINE WEAPON X #12 $3.99
I really can't remember the last time I sat down with the expressed intention of reading a comic because Wolverine was in it. It's with noted trepidation that I take note of the latest issue of Weapon X. I enjoy the unique experience of comic book shared universes and memorable characters -- so the big lure here is the presence of Captain America and Deathlok(s), who probably aren't the first guest characters in the series of late, but are the first to really grab my attention. It's a cross-time tale that tells of Wolvie's battle against the growing cyborg ranks of Deathloks, so it's probably not exactly destined to have lasting effects on the world around them, but it's nice to have a reason to at least look up at one of Marvel's most prevelant characters. Can't say I'll be particularly driven to pick this up as one of the various $3.99 books out this week, but it's worth a mention. Another feather in the cap of writer Jason Aaron, who seems to have well and truly won the favour of the Marvel boysclub.
