- FEB100135 DETECTIVE COMICS #864 $3.99
Greg Rucka departs for independent pastures, returning Detective Comics to a Batman after his run at selling the world of Batwoman. The big follow-up news is that JH Williams will spin-off into a new Batwoman on-going as both writer and artist. As a Rucka-sceptic, I'll be keen to see how his unified approach will change the texture of the stories, and perhaps create a more unified front.It dawned on me recently that, even with Bruce Wayne returning in the next few months, we're going to have a substantial volume of Dick Grayson as Batman material by the time the original Batman returns to the DCU. Detective picks up plotlines from Tony Daniel's Batman, dropping the Dark Knight into Arkham Asylum courtesy of a David Hine continuation of plotlines detailing the fall of Jeremiah Arkham into insanity. Doesn't strike me as any kind of must-read, but art by Jeremy Haun is pleasant.
- FEB100121 GREEN LANTERN CORPS #47 (BRIGHTEST DAY) $3.99
Regular readers know I have an invested interest in value pricing, which I feel comics have not been living up to. I was a big fan of DC's general tendency to price toward $2.99 throughout 2009, so it's a bit disappointing to see that conservative leaning disappearing.Green Lantern Corps provided a peripheral perspective of Blackest Night whilst maintaining it's own storylines, so I would expect this series to continue that central sense of normality. It was a little bit disconcerting to see the first post-Blackest Night issue of Green Lantern diving straight into a new mystery that will at least in part bleed into GLC. With any luck, that will be a truncated mystery that offers answers sooner than later. I'm not one to talk about "event fatigue," but variety is the spice of comics, and I'd like to try something different after a year of tangled black webs. "Green Lantern" is sure to remain a hot property for DC, but those considering jumping off might be assessing their plans right about now, particularly as GL #53 attempts to steer readers down an intertwining forked path.
- FEB100428 NEW AVENGERS #64 SIEGE $3.99
Something about the course of the last few months makes it feel like it's been a very long time since we got the last New Avengers issue. In stark contrast to it's early years, the popular series has managed to avoid being bogged down by surrounding event stories, benefitting greatly from a spirit of adventure that's seen a great variety of subjects tackled. Solicitations suggest The Hood will get the spotlight he's been promised for a while, but I'm still inclined to be a bit cynical when it comes to the reliability of preview blurbs.New Avengers will be cancelled soon to make way for Marvel's readjustment of the Avengers franchise -- a very DC-styled "Heroic Age" that reorganizes the heroes with a presumed post-Siege union not seen since 2006's Civil War. New Avengers will be replaced with a now openly titled Secret Avengers, seeing most of the current Secret Avengers shunted off into other roles throughout the revamp, in favour of a line-up more deliberately reminiscent of the random team-ups of Secret Defenders fame. Being that the new title will be helmed by Ed Brubaker, one might suggest that you enjoy New Avengers, before the bubble bursts.
- FEB100473 ULTIMATE COMICS AVENGERS 2 #1 $3.99
With the Kick-Ass film garnering widespread critical attention and a fast developing cult following, it's probably no surprise that Mark Millar is favouring the bombastic in his comics work. Ultimate Avengers 2 launches with the promise of the Ultimate versions of Punisher, Captain America, and Nick Fury plastered across the cover, but after the last series struggled to get airborne in the first few issues (which ironically featured aerial daring), I'm not sure I'm willing to put the dollars down for this one.Millar's style can be divisive at the best of times, but with Nemesis and Ultimate Avengers, it feels as if the writer has sacrificed important structural components of his series that maintained the reader in even his most high concept pop works. What's left is very pretty collaborations that lack even the most basic depth in the opening scenes -- forgiveable in a two hour single priced film, but not in a comic book mini-series. Something might be here, but this is a buyer beware!
