The Deep Dish...
- NOV072142 IMMORTAL IRON FIST #13 $2.99If you saw our review of Immortal Iron Fist #11, you now know any uncertainty about this series has completely gone! Fraction [and Brubaker]'s martial arts epic brings a megamix of everything you expect from the genre, and hurls it at Iron Fist's mythology with joyous results! And if you thought the brutal showdown between Tiger's Beautiful Daughter and Steel Phoenix in issue eleven was big, you better sit down, because #13 promises a no holds barred battle royal between the contestants of the tournament -- eliminated, or otherwise! The perfect chance for Iron Fist to redeem himself!
- JAN082150 INCREDIBLE HERCULES #115 $2.99
If the weekly shipping list were a fight card, this issue would be right near the top! An centuries old rivalry gets reignited as Hercules clashes with the god of war - Ares! I can't say I have a special affinity for either character, but with Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente delivering an unlikely joyride, I want nothing more than to sit back and take the gladiatorial combat in!
-JAN082154 IRON MAN #27 $2.99
The Iron Man feature film is only a couple of months away, and the comic is making an overdue play to shake-up interest in the character! Having returned from apparent death, the Mandarin has renewed his rivalry with the golden Avenger, and he's about to turn Iron Man's greatest weapon against him! Old time readers will remember a proposal for updating Ultron [Eye On: Ultron] by using Extremis as a weapon, but it looks like it's going to be The Mandarin who turns this triumph of science against the world!
- JAN082160 MARVEL ADVENTURES AVENGERS #22 $2.99
In 2007 Jeph Loeb did us all the service of putting the Wolverine/Sabretooth rivalry to bed once and for all, revealing a silly backstory of prehistoric precedents, and the untimely death of the currently reformed villain.You guys know by now that I'm easily bought off with a great guest character, and this vintage of superhero story continues to be the strength of the Marvel Adventures titles. I still haven't had the chance to make an informed assessment, but from the outside looking in, these look a little like the old days -- and I kinda like it!
- JAN080213 SUPER FRIENDS #1 $2.25
DC follow-up on their new all ages Teen Titans with a series that brings the Justice League back to their corny Saturday morning roots. Frankly, unlike other kid-friendly books like the Marvel Adventures and JLU titles, I'm not expecting much. Like the Titans, I'm guessing this is skewed way below the palatable innocence of straight forward superhero punch-ups, making for toddler style reading aids. Has the potential to be a fun read, but like the Franklin Richards titles, the lack of adult undertones will probably leave me disinterested. Because I'm a childless prick with a lump of kryptonite where a heart should be.
- JAN080148 TANGENT SUPERMANS REIGN #1 (OF 12) $2.99
DC continues to mine it's Multiple-Earths properties, this time calling upon the mini-series services of Earth-9; the Tangent Universe. Here, Dan Jurgens reimagines DC's most famous characters in a world where their influence causes major divergences in world events as we know them. The Atom's interference in the Cuban Missile Crisis of the 1960's is just such an example, where a nuclear exchange results in the destruction of Cuba and Florida.
This one could easily be hit or miss, but it's nice to see DC at least making an effort to capitalize on the gap left by the dissolving of their Elseworlds imprint.
