The Spotlight...
- NOV080159 BRAVE AND THE BOLD #21 $2.99
I couldn't honestly say this is a title I've had much interest in (since the first issue), but it stands to reason that each issue might be assessed on the merits of it's starring combo. In that respect, it's hard not to at least acknowledge a Brave and the Bold line-up of Hal Jordan and Oliver Queen! It just seems right! Of course, throwing the Green Lantern against a sinister counterpart isn't exactly going to win any awards when Geoff Johns is doing much the same in the same week, albeit, in a much more expansive sense. Consider yourself informed, if not excited.
- NOV082323 DARK AVENGERS #1 DKR $3.99
This issue has a checklist of expectations it would want to meet to fend off being yet another monumental disappointment on the Marvel catalogue (regardless of the number of peasants propping it on top of the sales). It's going to want to begin with the core cast already gathered; it's going to want to make the identity of the majority of the cast clear; it's going to want to conclusively tell a piece of a story; and it's going to want to avoid trying to tease a flimsy mystery that's easily guessed at months ahead of time. Given that Brian Bendis is writing, these might be particularly difficult requisites to satisfy, but here's hoping! (Also, why are they using "DKR" to signify Dark Reign issues?...)
- NOV080122 FINAL CRISIS SUPERMAN BEYOND #2 (OF 2) $4.50
Ugh! After reading the first issue, lord knows my enthusiasm for the various Final Crisis tie-ins reached a new pinnacle, but damn! At a meagre thirty pages, one can only assume the $4.50 price tag is paying for the 3D gimmick, which, admittedly, I haven't even tried. Next to the concluding issue of Final Crisis itself; the second-half of Grant Morrison's interdimensional mini-epic might just be the issue I'm most anticipating! Doug Mahnke's art is absolutely glorious, and thankfully, not too interrupted by the smeared meta-gimmick of 3D/4D vision. If only DC was aware that here in the real world we're facing a crisis of our own! I would've liked to have thought the state of the world economy might encourage the major publishers to finally draw a line in the sand, but prices seem only to continue to rise.
- OCT080147 GREEN LANTERN #37 (FOE) $2.99
That expansive Geoff Johns epic pitting Lantern against Lantern? This would be it.
Rage of the Red Lanterns rolls on as the first of the Black Lanterns becomes revealed through an action figure solicitation! I'm doing my darndest not to spoil it (away from a seperate article), but if you find yourself curious, the hero in question is one of our outsider picks from last year! Dubbed a "prologue" to July's Blackest Night, don't be fooled! Johns' Red Lanterns are an action packed thriller unto themselves!
- NOV082382 MARVEL ADVENTURES AVENGERS #32 $2.99
The Avengers are in trouble for potential tax evasion and the IRS wants answers!!! What are Earth's mightiest heroes to do with their secret identities in peril? Submit willingly to government sanctions? Fight tooth-and-nail against one and other in a battle of ideals? Get snipered by Crossbones?! No, stupid! They're going to buy their way out of trouble by helping collect unpaid taxes from some of the Marvel Universe's most dangerous villains! Bullseye, Man-Bull, Absorbing Man, Whirlwind, and... Oog?!
Marvel Adventures: Won't let you down!
- NOV080153 SUPERMAN BATMAN ANNUAL #3 $3.99
Anyone experiencing health issues as a result of the potential death of Batman -- whoa now! It's not the end of the world! DC continue to publish various series (and reprints) of stories set in the times before his apparent death. I can't be certain what the issue entails, but if I had to guess, it might just be about to reestablish the Composite Superman into accepted continuity. For those who came in late: he's a wacky Silver Age manic-depressive villain who was rescued from death by Superman, employed as a janitor in his super-museum, and was struck by lightning in front of the Legion of Superheroes display, mysteriously granting him their entire array of powers! Still bitter about life, he donned a split costume, half-Superman/half-Batman, and bedevilled the World's Finest on a couple of occasions before disappearing into obscurity. I once; quite some time before Infinite Crisis; fancied the idea of pitching a concept that made him a survivor of the Crisis on Infinite Earths in much the same way Superboy-Prime, and Earth-2 Superman, were. So much for that idea! You snooze, you lose! Here's hoping any reintroduction does the character's potential justice!
- NOV082332 THUNDERBOLTS #128 DKR $2.99
If Dark Avengers turns out to be a bust, you might like to invest your dollar into Thunderbolts! With Norman Osborn (character) fast becoming the new centre of the Marvel Universe, the title is sure to pick up from the potential left by Warren Ellis (writer)! There's always a little bit of excitement around a T-bolts roster change, too, particularly when the man in charge is slowly losing his grip on reality! (Osborn; not current writer, Andy Diggle). Among the new recruits; Paladin, The Ghost, Black Widow (Yelena Bolova), and Ant-Man (Eric O'Grady)!
