The Spotlight...
- FEB100478 AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #628 $3.99
I have a great affection for the late eighties David Michelinie/Erik Larsen run of Amazing Spider-man (where Spidey briefly went cosmic with the powers of Uni-Power), so any allusion to Captain Universe and Spidey usually gets my attention. Alas, the last issue might've been the first true clunker delivered to the weekly series since The Gauntlet began a flowing fresh perspective on the title. It would take a mammoth effort to justify Something Can Stop the Juggernaut as a three-part purchase, but presumably this issue will at least reveal the face behind the Captain Universe power and what beef they've got with ol' jugg-head.
- FEB100128 BLACKEST NIGHT DIRECTORS CUT $5.99
Ordinarily I'd be very cynical about the prospects of these second-release type Director's Cut book, but for the princely sum of $5.99, it seems readers will be privvy to eighty-pages of all new content, as opposed to the standard reprint with extras! $5.99 is a pretty hefty price to put on a book of this nature and despite being interested, I can't help but get the sense this is a rare blatant example of DC milking a property for the sake of milking it. Not too long ago 80-page giants were a steal from DC at $1 -- with FCBD looming, it seems like a missed opportunity not to offer this at a more reasonable offer, perhaps with a few Brightest Day teases in the back. A sentiment that Brightest Day #0 shared by not reprising the FCBD spot held by Blackest Night #0.
If nothing else, fans of Blackest Night will probably have every reason to pick this up. There're bound to be a few tasty morcels of cut material and details untouched by the books. Anyone who found they didn't absorb the subtlties of the story might also enjoy commentary by Geoff Johns and co, provided they're willing to pay for something that's often featured freely online.
- FEB100118 GREEN LANTERN #53 (BRIGHTEST DAY) $2.99
The scions of the spectrum will be sticking around, it seems, as the self-appointed "New Guardians" from Blackest Night unite in their efforts to presumably protect the recently revealed centre-of-the-universe, Earth, and recapture the White Lantern. While some are bound to feel fatigued by the presence of spillover from the concluded Blackest Night plot, I find it pleasing that these characters haven't become defined by the storyline that canonized them. It should be very interesting to see how Atrocitus, Larfleeze, Saint Walker and Indigo-1 grow as individual properties, and how Carol Ferris is intergrated into the superherosphere after being the girlfriend-cum-occasional-villain-of-the-week! I'm looking forward to seeing things spin-off into, perhaps, a slightly less encompassing direction!
- FEB100550 GUARDIANS OF GALAXY #25 $2.99
- FEB100553 NOVA #36 $2.99
Back in 2006, during Annihilation, it was a bit of a surprise to see Thanos finally bite the big one, but I think we all knew his reunion with beloved Lady Death would be short lived. It's a bittersweet return if, like me, you're still very soured by the frivilous use of death in modern comics. Still, much like Blackest Night justified has been able to justify certain resurrections through thoughtful and well construct plotpoints, I would expect the same will emerge here when the cosmic corner of the Marvel Universe enters it's next epic, The Thanos Imperative. While they admittedly haven't quite held my attentions since the '06 reboot of cosmic Marvel comics, Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning have proven themselves up to the task of supporting this once grossly neglected collection of properties.
