The Spotlight...
- NOV080192 BATMAN THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #1 $2.50
Based on the the stylized team-up TV series, the latest Bat-book brings his cartoon adventures back home to the page! I have to wonder if this might mean the end for the fairly mediocre Brave and the Bold revival book from DC-proper, for no other reason than avoiding undue confusion. Either way, the kid-friendly adventures books have a pretty solid history, and with any luck, this one will continue that tradition, boasting a host of potential guests, including; Aquaman, Blue Beetle, Adam Strange, Wildcat, Atom, Deadman, and many more! Shame about the return of the yellow oval symbol, but like Final Crisis tells us, heroes may die, but their legends live forever!- NOV082366 CAPTAIN AMERICA #46 $2.99
Marvel's recent acknowledgment of their Golden Age has an air of sloppy insincerity about it, making pseudo-seventieth anniversary celebrations a tad tacky. Most would agree the Marvel Age really began with the sixties, but to their credit, it was founded upon the legacy of key icons, the most enduring, Captain America and Namor. The continuing adventures of Bucky Barnes as the new Cap are a far more admirable testament to the age, creating new WWII fiction to flesh out these classic heroes! With the android Human Torch at the centre of this most recent plot, Cap gets bonus points for utilizing recent history too, specifically picking up from Hammond's death in New Invaders!- NOV082370 DAREDEVIL #115 $2.99
Has Ed Brubaker been taking notes?It appears both Daredevil and Captain America have undergone an apparent process of much needed reinvigoration! Despite initial impressions, Lady Bullseye has provided exactly what DD needed, drawing in some of the surrounding kung fu heroes (Iron Fist, White Tiger, and Black Tarantula) to splash a bit of colour around the droll pages of this series. The weight of heavy, lumbering story arcs still holds Brubaker's books down a little, but it's been very refreshing to dive in to a story filled with the excitement of variety!
- NOV080123 FINAL CRISIS #7 (OF 7) $3.99
The DC epic finally comes to a close as Grant Morrison, now teamed with Infinite Wars faroutite, Doug Mahnke, delivers the penultimate issue! Earth might've been conquered by Darkseid and the untamed broadcast of the Anti-Life Equation, but the true threat of Darkseid's descent through time and reality has sent shockwaves across the entire multiverse! The heroes make their final stand as events from Superman Beyond no doubt boil over into the conclusion! The finale is sure to bring about as much division in the readership as every other issue, poignant, in it's way. Morrison tells a jam packed, superhero super-indulgent epic as only superheroes can, adding multiple layers beneath that for those interested, such as the blurred lines between function and fiction in the process of creating superhero fiction. This meta-level has seemingly unwittingly exposed some of the truest negatives of the modern reading audience, because, quite simply, if you honestly think the series hasn't made any sense, or somehow betrayed it's title, then you're stupid. More upon review!- NOV080168 JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #23 (FOE) $2.99
The 2007 MVP returns to the pages that reinvigorated him, starring in the long awaited post-Gog arc - Geoff Johns' final - of JSA! Anyone fortunate enough to have been following the character since his 2003 break from the Justice Society has been indulged with one of the most interesting sagas in the DCU! The latest chapter picks up from the dark Marvel's quest to revive his fallen love, Isis, which has apparently succeeded, but not without a cost. All of this builds toward Jerry Ordway's return to the character, which, admittedly, leaves me reticent.- NOV082401 SKAAR SON OF HULK #7 $2.99
I can't claim any legitimate interest in Skaar, even as the only apparent legacy remaining from Greg Pak's surprisingly positive 2007 mini-event, World War Hulk. That said -- the prospect of Hulk Jr butting heads with Silver Surfer (again?) is reason enough to give pause! Under more positive economic circumstances, this might be the one to try out.- NOV082421 WOLVERINE FIRST CLASS #11 $2.99
Wolverine becomes a werewolf. Fun, but a peeve we've petted on many occasions.
[See; What if... #24, Blade #5, Marvel Zombies Defense Strategum]
- NOV080171 WONDER WOMAN #28 (FOE) $2.99
I find myself increasingly interested in the plight of Wonder Woman as a perpetually dull character of great importance to the DCU and comics in general. Gail Simone bares the weight of being one of the few female writers to tackle the character, but is reinvention on the table, or is Simone as bound as any one of Wonder Woman's lassoed enemies? This arc, returning Cheetah to the spotlight, while also creating the mythically powered Genocide as a powerful new foe, has my attention, if not my dollars. It's the first time in decades that I can honestly say I've wanted to read Wonder Woman, but alas, as so many others, WW unfortunately fails to make the harsh, financially motivated cut.Advertise here!
