- AUG082317 AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #573 NWD $3.99
Spidey's triumphant return to relevance concludes in the final chapter of New Ways to Die! A disgraceful menu of four different covers gives the title a good reason to be skipped on principle, but the content is hard to pass up! For the first time in years Norman Osborn is stepping out in his ol' Green Goblin duds, this time to clash with Spider-man in an official capacity! That - plus the promise of a clash between a classic Spidey villain and Eddie "Anti-Venom" Brock - makes this a jam packed issue of excitement! No inkling who Brock's going to fight, but the thought occurs it'd be very interesting to see Anti-Venom meet Carnage! (I like the Gargan cover!)
- JUL084073 DOCTOR WHO FORGOTTEN #2 $3.99
- AUG084147 GRANT MORRISONS DOCTOR WHO #1 $3.99
Don't ask me how, or why, but it seems it's a bloody good time to give the Doctor a look!
Few names strike as immediate a chord as Grant Morrison when placed in the same sentence as the Doctor! Couple that with Forgotten, which features the ten Doctors, including Morrison's number-seven (Sylvester McCoy). Groovy!
- JUL080110 FINAL CRISIS LEGION OF THREE WORLDS #2 (OF 5) $3.99
I've just never been able to hook into the Legion of Superheroes, but Superboy-Prime continues to hold a bizarre fascination. One of the attractions that continues to grab me is the fact that this character seems completely free to be sculpted for any situation! That vague sense of unpredictability is an attractive prospect, as is the thought of the 'real' Superman being recruited to sort out his raging counterpart! As with his storyarc in Action Comics, it seems Johns is endearing the complex world of the thirty-first century to fans by using it as a backdrop, as much as a feature. I like that! PLUS; the Perez Saturn Girl cover is devestatingly gorgeous!
- JUL080109 FINAL CRISIS ROGUES REVENGE #3 (OF 3) $3.99
Another Geoff Johns mini and another solid entry into DC's crossover season! Final Crisis manages to branch out to provide an exceptionally expansive experience, somehow contrasting against the plodding of Marvel's Secret Invasion, which seems to be failing to use it's many tie-ins to make-up for central objectives missed by the core-title.
This'll be Johns' last issue before he makes his triumphant return to the Flash with Rebirth -- the series detailing the mythic return of Barry Allen and the reconstruction of the Flash family dynamic. A much needed revamp given Flash's irrelevance post-Infinite Crisis.
It'll be very interesting to see how the Rogues' revenge bleeds into the new era.
- AUG082352 HULK MONSTER SIZE SPECIAL #1 $3.99
Halloween hoohah as the Hulk clashes with Frankenstein's Monster, among others!
Sounds like a fun little thematic distraction in the vein of Hulk vs Hercules and King-Size Hulk!
Know what you're in for and you shouldn't have a problem here!
- JUL080148 JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #19 $2.99
Aaaand apparently I'm just in love with Geoff Johns...
DC's master architect continues to own the golden age legacy characters as he has done for the best part of the decade! The Justice Society are rejoined this issue by Hawkman, whose world view is sure to provide an interesting perspective of Gog's plans to unify the world in peace. Hey, even if it doesn't, it's Hawkman!!!
- AUG082375 MIGHTY AVENGERS #19 SI $2.99
Mighty continues to dabble in Secret Invasion tie-ins drastically removed from the subject matter. This time it's the legend of the Kree-Skrull War(s) in what is probably one of the more intriguing tie-ins. Dwayne McDuffie's trials as writer of JLA are well documented, but I wonder if crossover fatigue hasn't thoroughly mauled the Avengers title(s) ever since Civil War. The distracting content has probably been far better justified, but in the lead-up to the 2011 film, we'll expect some unification in the titles.
- AUG088060 SAVAGE DRAGON #137 3RD PTG OBAMA CVR (PP #836) $2.99
If he wins, you'll cash in. If he loses?... Landfill!
Food for thought: Obama doesn't actually show up until the very end.
- AUG084341 STREET FIGHTER II TURBO #1 CRUZ CVR A $3.95
- AUG084342 STREET FIGHTER II TURBO #1 LEE CVR B $3.95
UDON's Street Fighter train is back on the rails - which probably means we'll see a steady monthly output from the art studio. Unfortunately, there are a few things to note from previews of the new Street Fighter II Turbo series. The first, and most immediately obvious, is the notable absence of Alvin Lee as series artist. Jeffrey Cruz is certainly a competent replacement, but lacks the immediate appeal of Lee's traditional Capcom-friendly artwork.
The second note: segmented series don't appear to have tightened up the direction of Ken Siu-Chong's script. The fan-service is sure to be there, but for a guy like me, the desire to see these characters placed in a strong adaptation remains.
- AUG082417 X-MEN WORLDS APART #1 (OF 4) $3.99
I can't say I'm especially interested, but I hope Storm choose Black Panther over the X-Men. It'd be such a bore to drag her back from her role as Wakandan queen, even if the stories haven't exactly made it the most exciting place to be. The direction has taken the character to a fresh place, and allowed her the opportunity to be one of the few X-Men to escape the clutches of a brand terminally plagued by nostalgia. You go girl!
