- APR100559 AVENGERS PRIME #1 (OF 5) HA $3.99
The Avengers freight train is unsurprisingly in top gear as Marvel continue the rebuild of their contemporary A-list franchise, restoring a classical brief to a line-up that was ripped up and retro fitted with other icons in 2004's Avengers Disassembled. The move coincides with Marvel Entertainment's jostling of the Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America franchises, which are all roads leading to moviedom's first taste of comic book continuity.The Heroic Age reboot has shown spotty results with it's first few issues, enjoyable for the most part, with only a few complaints. However, these days it's par for the course that there'll be a handful of superfluous fluff pieces. Prime pertains to the post-Siege relationship between the big three Avengers who were at each other's throats throughout the Civil War. It's a much needed piece of the puzzle, but as a relegated mini-series, I'm not convinced. Probably a must-read for those obsessed with the minutia of a shared superhero universe, but otherwise, I wouldn't expect much that couldn't be assumed in the "main" Avengers books you're probably already buying in abundance. Consumer beware.
- APR100137 BRIGHTEST DAY #3 $2.99
I've felt slightly sceptical about the juggled narratives of a cast of at least eight significant characters, but the first few issues (including #0) have been promising. Last issue gave us the surprise return of Anti-Monitor, who escaped cosmic bondage at the end of Blackest Night. There're still a few zombie Black Lanterns running about the place, but they'll have to compete with the return of traditional villains who seem to be waking up in conjunction with the return of their thought-dead nemesis. If I'm not mistaken, that might have been a mind-wiped White Martian in the pages of Brightest Day #2, which followed a violent pattern similar to the rise of Aquaman foe, Black Manta. All signs of a lot of action to come in the near future, and also a soft entry point for those readers distracted by the sensation of not quite knowing every piece of history. Like 52 before it, Brightest Day seems as much an event comic, as it is a self-contained introduction to the many corners of the DC Universe.- APR100570 CAPTAIN AMERICA BLACK PANTHER FLAGS OF FATHERS #3 (OF 4) $3.99
Springing forth from the pages of Reginald Hudlin's Black Panther; Flags of our Fathers continues to tell the tale of Captain America's Second World War encounter with T'Chaka and the people of the insulated nation of Wakanda. Nazi's have brought Wakanda into a rare alliance with an outside power, seeing the Golden Age Black Panther team-up with Cap and the Howling Commandos in a battle that's about to bring them face-to-face with the Nazi super-soldiers -- Master Man and Warrior Woman! Great fun and an awesome deviation into what was previously a few pages of flashback in the first arc of Hudlin's BP!- APR100161 RED HOOD LOST DAYS #1 (OF 6) $2.99
It's been five years since Jason Todd seemingly returned from the dead courtesy of a reality-altering punch from Superboy-Prime (prior to events in Infinite Crisis). With an animated feature based on his original Under the Hood arc of Batman -- Judd Winick seems to want to right the wrongs of the past by delving deeper into the secret life of Jason Todd during his lost days. Hence the mini-series, which promises to look closer at what made him assume the secret identity of the man who nearly killed him -- Joker. Here's hoping the opportunity pays off, rather than further complicating an already convoluted backstory.- MAR100562 FRANKEN-CASTLE #17 $2.99
Unexpected and ridiculous -- Punisher's transformation into the monthly adventures of Franken-Castle continues a reinvestment in the Marvel horror titles previously seen in recent Marvel Zombies mini-series [ie; MZ4]. Teaming the reconstituted remains of a sliced and diced Frank Castle with monster heroes led by Morbius was the right kind of insane, but all good things must come to an end. Word down the pipeline suggest some sort of mini-series or continuation might find it's way into production, but it will not be representative of the broader scope of Marvel horror as vampires become a topic of interest in the coming months. As they're wont to do these days, Marvel will be led by their nose to the latest fad when they revamp Dracula and the Marvel vampires with a complete reversal of characterization, heading vaguely in the teen direction. Once upon a time it was Marvel who set about creating exciting new movements, but these days, it feels as if they're always behind the curve. In other words, if you're looking for some Marvel horror, you might want to get the good stuff while it lasts, before a Castlevania revamped Dracula bites the big one to make way for the kids. Uninspiring news, but we'll see if it's as bad as it looks.- APR100179 SUPERMAN BATMAN ANNUAL #4 $4.99
Fans of the animated Batman Beyond adventures have been crying out for representation for quite some time, and while revealed to be part of the 52 universes quite some time ago, we haven't seen a lot from Terry McGinnis and his future world. Superman/Batman Annual #4 is a pricey first taste of a mini-series coming soon that will better ingrain the world of Batman Beyond into the broad DCU.They're doing it smart with a story that teams future Superman with his contemporary dark knight counterpart, but I've got to be honest, at $4.99, that's not enough to pull me in on the hook of interest. To be fair, I never really got into the animated spin-off which always kinda struck me as a weenie version of Batman for little kids. I'll get another chance to get acquainted in the coming weeks when Batman Beyond becomes it's own mini.
