Last week had me Wow-ing more per book than any week in the recent past.  Here’s the near future:

  • Mister X: Razed #2 (Dark Horse) I&N Demand No surprise here: we loved #1.  It easily fell into our Top 5 Books of February, the result of the tasty termites and the hungry peregrine pigeons, which, of course, is Christmas come a bit late, you know, in the perfectly-wrapped gift of Dean Motter’s icicle-sharp storytelling.  (Deep breath.)  It’s everything we loved about Mr. X: Eviction, which was just as easily our #1 Book of 2013.  Don’t remember why?  Remind yourself.
Mister X: Razed #2

Mister X: Razed #2

  • PastAways #1 (Dark Horse) Just I&N With his nonpareil Mind MGMT in its stretch run, main man Matt Kindt takes aim–along with artist Scott Kolins–at a fresh future with PastAways, the latest–and most assuredly not the last–entry in the suddenly supersaturated–and not-so-fresh–time-traveling-team market.  Yeah, but it doesn’t matter if it’s good, right?
PastAways #1

PastAways #1

  • The Multiversity: Ultra Comics #1 (DC): Re: Mastermen: Morrison and Lee bowled me over with their opening “splash” page–light a match, Adolph!  I mean, c’mon: Hitler on the can, reading Superman?  Hey, why Nazi?  They played it for a laugh–and got it!–and forged a connection between the Führer and me.  I was like, that’s what I look like when I’m reading during “Daddy Time,” you know, just without the mustache and the swastika.  Yeah, otherwise, pretty spot on.  After that, the rest of the book played out well–despite Lee’s pin-up-per-panel approach, which robs the story–artistically, anyway–of any momentum.  Not the best single Multiversity issue, but still plenty metafun.  This month, Morrison and Mahnke promise to make me “an integral part of the resistance.”  Can’t resist that!
  • Suiciders #2 (DC/Vertigo): Figured it’d be a one-and-done.  Clearly wasn’t–especially thanks to the end.
  • The Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw #5 (Image) I&N Demand Pretty great all around.  Sure, while Busiek’s been busy building this remarkably engaging world, Astro City‘s suffered a bit.  (The Quarrel arc is arguably the weakest multi-issue story since our return to the City.)  But that’s all right–especially now that the game is a(Good)foot.
The Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw #5

The Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw #5

  • They’re Not Like Us #4 (Image): They may not be like them, but concerns are rising: we’re three issues in and some of what’s going on is a lot like some of what’s already gone on.  Still love the design, though; love getting right to it!  And still hanging on the promise made at the end of #1.
  • The Wicked & The Divine #9 (Image) I&N Demand With #8, Gillen, McKelvie, and Wilson deliver a brand new Beat Generation of dance hall deities.  The rhythm–the rolling1-2-3-4, page after page–got me good, pulsing past simple gimmick right quick into pop magic, an hypnotizing rave that’s all about that base–YOLO, indeed!–no trouble.  OK.  Trouble.
The Wicked & The Divine #9

The Wicked & The Divine #9

  • Daredevil #14 (Marvel): Ooh, ooh!  A Shroud of secrecy!  Yeah, that pretty much made it all worth it.  As Waid and Samnee are making their way to the end of their run, I can’t help but think about Matt’s exes and wonder: what’s gonna happen to Kirsten?  I’m leaning toward this one breaking the mold.
  • Uncanny X-Men #32 (Marvel): Eva’s conversation with Scott left me feeling like I did after Snyder’s Harper Row lit into Batman (in the regrettable Batman #18).  That’s not a good thing.  Oh, and so, as it all works out, it’s like nothing ever happened, which is always gratifying.  Love that.  Oh, oh, and maybe the once and future leader of the X-Men isn’t so far from his grand return.  Ugh!  I hate all the secrets and the wars that rage as a result of them!
  • The Black Hood #2 (Archie): I was surprised by how much I liked the first one. What sold it: the last page.  As cheesy as it was, it felt authentic, heroic.  I needed that.  Great stuff from Gaydos.
  • The Bunker #10 (Oni): I’m feeling somewhat disconnected from The Bunker at this point.  If it were released on a more regular basis…
  • Hit: 1957 #1 (BOOM!): I was surprised that Hit earned a Harvey nomination because it wasn’t great.  Sure, it hit the right notes at the start–and at its soul was something to celebrate; but it didn’t come together well, as evidenced by the unremarkable end.  I’ll thumb through to see if Del Rey’s art is enough of a draw to warrant a try.  Otherwise, I’m going to pass.
  • Mono #4 (Titan): Through three now, I’m kinda feeling like I did after the summer after I graduated from high school–you know, after saying hi and goodbye to four different girls before leaving for college, and after learning that I had a case of mono, one bad enough to keep me home for what would’ve been my first semester at Penn State.  Just like that, actually.
  • Quantum and Woody Must Die #3 (Valiant): Funny, funny, funny!
  • The Sixth Gun #47 (Oni): The stack grows.
  • The Valiant #4 (Valiant): #3 didn’t hit me like #2 did.  Resulted in a bit of a letdown, especially as the entirety of the Valiant Universe gets further mired in Lemire’s return to Rotworld.
  • The Twilight Zone: Shadow and Substance #3 (Dynamite): The first two-issue arc didn’t live up to Straczynski’s standard–but how could it?  I’m probably going to pass.
  • We Can Never Go Home #1 (Black Mask): I haven’t like much of what I’ve tried from Black Mask.  This one sounds interesting enough.  I’ll thumb through to be fair.

Avery’s Picks of the Week

  • My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic #29 (IDW): My wife just came home from Stop & Shop with eight more Pony blind bags.  Thanks a lot DCTC!  We’re drowning in Ponies over here–new ones and duplicates!  I think we have three Pursey Pinks, for crying out loud!
  • Abigail and The Snowman #4 (BOOM!): My daughter’s dug it plenty–even if the Snowman is more Bumble than Olaf.

What are you looking forward to this week?

Scott

Wednesday’s forecast for the weather outside of my local comic shop is pretty much the same as its been: as cold as can be.  (I guess someone’s gone and ticked off Elsa again.)  The forecast for inside, however, is hot hot hot!  (That’s right: the way to thaw a frozen heart is with an act of true love–in this case, a perfectly pulled bag of comics!)  Speaking of hot books: our Top Ten Books of 2014 is well represented this week.  Take a peek:

  • BPRD: Hell on Earth #128 (Dark Horse): Has been good–not great.  Definitely glad I jumped on board, though.
  • Dark Horse Presents #7 (Dark Horse): DHP has been great–especially at the new price point.  This month’s edition offers up a little Matt Kindt–and Mignola, Van Lente, Aragonés, and more!  Talk about bang for your buck!
  • Batman and Robin #39 (DC): The Action-packed cover’s very clever:
Batman and Robin #39

Batman and Robin #39

I know better, though: B&R‘s been a huge disappointment for months now.  In fact, I finally got around to dropping it from my pull list last month.  No longer under any obligation, I should leave it on the shelf and fill the void with something new.  God knows there will be plenty of players for the spot.  Image alone has a thousand new titles coming out in the next few months, so…

  • The Multiversity: Mastermen #1 (DC) Just I&N Morrison’s Multiversity has been a metafiction metahuman masterwork!  And now, Mastermen–with every-panel’s-a-pinup Jim Lee on art duties.
Multiversity: Mastermen #1

Multiversity: Mastermen #1

  • Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw #4 (Image): I can’t be the only one who’s noticed: the current arc of Astro City‘s been a bit blah; but this has been really, really good.  Coincidence?
  • Bitch Planet #3 (Image): I enjoyed #1 for all sorts of reasons (exploiting exploitation, lots of Tarantino, hints of Fraction, etc.).  Hey: borrowing works well when it works well.  Oh, but when it doesn’t…  #2 lost me from the get-go–especially as I was taken immediately to a low budget modern-day exploitation flick that I caught one night on one of the Showtime or HBO channels: Raze, starring Tarantino darling Zoë Bell.  Coincidence?
Raze (2013)

Raze (2013)

I’ll try this one and see where it takes me.

  • Lazarus #15 (Image) I&N Demand Our #2 book of 2014!  It’s what we’ve been waiting for for like, well, forever: Forever in a Trial by Combat against another Lazarus!
Lazarus #15

Lazarus #15

  • Secret Identities #1 (Image): Jay Faerber’s earned Must Try status with Copperhead.
  • All-New Captain America #4 (Marvel): I know, I know.  But it hasn’t been terrible.  And this time out, Remender’s dusting off the Armadillo!  Gotta wonder, though, what effect Secret Wars is going to have on this little experiment–and if it’s worth following a dead title shelf-sitting.
  • Iron Fist: The Living Weapon #9 (Marvel): I love what Kaare Andrews is doing with Danny Rand.  In fact, Iron Fist was my #16 book of 2014–and my third-favorite superhero monthly after Silver Surfer and Moon Knight.  High praise, indeed!
  • Magneto #15 (Marvel): Bunn’s done a nice job of telling stories from issue to issue.  He’s delivered some nice twists along the way, too.  #14 ended with Magneto’s giving himself up to S.H.I.E.L.D.  Wonder what his endgame is…
  • Moon Knight #12 (Marvel) I&N Demand Our #8 book of 2014!  #11 ended on a bit of a down note–you know, with Marc Spector falling out of a flying detention facility and all.  (Wood and Smallwood must’ve watched–and liked–Stallone’s waterlogged–yet undeniably watchable–prison break bingo, Escape Plan, as they delivered quite an homage with Spector in Stallone’s role and Khonshu in Schwarzenegger’s.)  Not looking forward to saying goodbye to Wood and Smallwood, but I am looking forward to seeing how they end their arc–and how they leave things for Cullen Bunn and Ron Ackins.  Maybe they’ll reach back to Bullet to the Head.  Or Avenging Angelo…
Moon Knight #12

Moon Knight #12

  • Silver Surfer #9 (Marvel) I&N Demand Our #4 book of 2014!  Well orchestrated fun from Dan Slott and Michael Allred!  The biggest–and best–superhero monthly around–and this issue promises to be HUGE!
Silver Surfer #9

Silver Surfer #9

  • Uncanny X-Men #31 (Marvel): Bendis is on his way out.  That promises some real havoc in the X-Universe.  No, really–look:
Uncanny X-Men #31

Uncanny X-Men #31

  • Burning Fields #2 (BOOM!): Kinda like a cross between The Killing and Homeland.  Not a bad thing.
  • Cap Stone #3 (Titan): Some real high points: the conversation between Charlie and her mom; the wild shifts in Sharp’s artwork.  Some low points, too: the conversation between Charlie and her mom; the wild shifts in Sharp’s artwork.  I loved #1.  #2, however, exposed a serious flaw: inconsistency.  Still intriguing enough, though.
  • Mono #3 (Titan): Another book from Liam Sharp that took a step back after a very promising premier.  What spoiled the sophomore offering: the conversation–coincidence?–between Heinrich and Isabella, which acts as a dragline on the storyline.  Also seems waaaaaay too serious for a book about an ape-man secret agent and assassin for the Queen, doesn’t it?  It’s so goddamned dour!  I do like the layered approach that Sharp’s taking to create the Mono myth, however.
  • The Valiant #3 (Valiant) I&N Demand I liked #1 enough–but I absolutely loved #2!  I was particularly struck by the artistic collaboration between Lemire and Kindt on the storybook section.  Sure, many of the notes that are struck remind of Lemire’s run on Animal Man; but what the hell–they work well here, so all the better!
The Valiant #3

The Valiant #3

  • The Twilight Zone #12 (Dynamite) I&N Demand Our #10 book of 2014!  This issue ends an extremely powerful arc and Straczynski and Vilanova’s superior run.  So sad to see this go.  Hmm.  Maybe–just maybe–I could travel back in time and kill another series–Dream Police, for instance–in its place…
The Twilight Zone #12

The Twilight Zone #12

What are you looking forward to this week?

Back and Forth: The Empire Strikes Back

Amazing Spider-Man #698, Amazing Spider-Man #700, Brian Michael Bendis, Chris Samnee, Dan Slott, Daredevil, Dark Avengers, Dr. Octopus, Indestructible Hulk, Leinil Francis Yu, Mark Waid, Marvel, Marvel NOW!, Paolo Rivera, Richard Elson, Superior Spider-Man, Superman, The Avengers, The Sixth Sense, Ultimate Spider-Man

Scott Carney: Yet another pretty big week here at – hey, li’l buddy, what’s wrong?

Derek Mainhart: (grumble)

SC: Holiday blues?

DM: …no…

SC: That thing flaring up again?

DM: What? No! Shut up!

SC: oh, I think I know what this is about…

DM: I don’t wanna talk about it.

SC: It’s ok. We’ll get through this. Baby steps. Want me to start?

DM: (grumble)

SC: O-kay.  How about we start with Daredevil #20?

DM: …yeah…that’s fine…that’s been good for a long time…ok…

SC: You’re right: DD‘s been head and, well, head above the rest of the Marvel lot since Mark Waid took over.  Despite a dodgy bit with the Omega Drive, this title’s been a consistent treat; and this purposely spotty issue is no different, with its unexpected pregnant-belly drug pipeline and hellish haul of hungry heads.  Delightful!  I mean, how great is it that DD’s headless body makes its way to the rescue–using the billy-club cane, no less!  Divine!  Chris Samnee, of course, delivers the goods: he flaunts his skill, page after page, marrying mirth and danger with peerless precision.  Dig it!  The terrific tone that’s been set by the boys on this book clearly has been the unofficial blueprint of the company-wide non-reboot.  With that in mind, moving on to–

DM:…ggrrrrrr…

SC: –a Marvel NOW! book–

DM: (choking sound)

SC: —Indestructible Hulk #1.

Indestructible Hulk #1 Cover

Indestructible Hulk #1 Cover

DM:  That…that’s OK…still Waid…still acceptable…baby steps…

SC: Acceptable, indeed!  I’ve tried several of the NOW! books and I haven’t liked a single one–until this one.  As I mentioned, the other books seemed to try on something Daredevilish, but, doubtless, each was Waid off the mark.

DM: Dear Lord…

SC: No, seriously.  Is it any surprise that the first book of the bunch to seem like it isn’t trying so hard to be Waid-ian is the one written by the trendsetter himself?  From the get-go, the flavor is unmistakable: the chicken-fried banter–served up with a sprig of perfect time–is well done.  It’s so well done that the conversation between Director Hill and Banner is the highlight here.  It certainly outshines the fight scene between the Hulk and the arrogantly armored Mad Thinker, which is, disappointingly, a bit muddled in its execution.  Don’t get me wrong: I love Leinil Yu, and his work here is strong; in fact, his Hulk is incalculably strong.  (See the double-page spread on pages 14 and 15 if you don’t believe me.)  But there’s a lot going on in some of the pugnacious panels; and a few, unfortunately, just flat out fail.  Overall, however, the book does not.  As it stands, I want to see how the Banner/S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Waid/Yu relationships play out.  We all know that the Hulk’s not an easy character to handle, but I’m thinkin’ that he may be in the right hands at the right time; and, doin’ my math, that’s, finally, right NOW!  I am not a man without fear, though.  This does have the potential to turn into Ultimate Spider-Man, where Bendis just cannot seem to find the balance between his brilliant take on the boy and the rather bland–and sometimes plain bad–approach to the very same boy in the bug suit.  Still, I’m on board for #2.

So, umm, that’s all I wanted to discuss. Do you have anything to add?

DM: No!

SC: Are you sure?

DM: NO! Wait – I mean, YES!

SC: Come on….

DM: Don’t make me!

SC: It’ll only hurt for a second….

DM: (resigned sigh) …fine.

SC:...like Superman taking a Kryptonite suppository….

DM: What’re you mumbling? Whatever. So…a couple of weeks ago I posted an extended rant about the deplorable state of the Marvel Universe, including my low expectations for their current, sort-of reboot, Marvel NOW!. And I still stand behind 99% of what I wrote –

SC: That high? 97% maybe?…

DM: Shut up! One of the new directions I distinguished for abuse was Dan Slott’s announced introduction of a new, darker Spider-Man (I believe my exact quote was “oy vey”). I had no intention of picking it up. But then I saw Paolo Rivera’s cover to Amazing Spider-Man #698 and something about it just grabbed me.

SC: Was it the large, metal tentacles?

DM: Quiet you! So I flipped through it…something about the death of Dr. Octopus…Richard Elson’s clean, pleasing art…and, like many comic book fans, I have a mental condition that causes me to get weak-kneed for big, round numbers; so with this leading up to issue 700, I picked it up. What the hell, I figured. No one need ever know. And I read it. And damned if it wasn’t good. Really good.

SC: Your eye’s twitching.

DM: Shut up. My determination to avoid Marvel Now! left me blissfully ignorant of the hype surrounding this issue. The secret’s out now of course, but in case you haven’t read it yet, and live in a cave inside of another cave, SPOILERS AHOY! The issue begins with Doc Ock on his death bed, requesting Peter Parker. Woah, you think, How does he know Spidey’s secret identity? But that, it turns out, is just Mr. Slott being cute. We proceed with a day in the life of Spidey, full of Peter’s trademark soliloquizing about the state of his life. He’s being a little snarkier than usual tho’. But never mind that, here’s a scene promising his long-awaited re-entanglement to one Mary Jane Watson, an exciting development to many a Spidey fan ever since the god-awful story where Peter sold their marriage to the devil. Redemption at last? No, again, it’s Slott exquisitely messing with you, you craven fan-boy you. We proceed to the climax where Peter learns of Doc Ock’s death-bed request for his presence. And, then, with long time hero and villain alone together, the twist: Doc Ock has switched bodies with Peter. He somehow has access to all of Peter’s memories. And neither the good doctor nor Slott is telling how he did it. And for the coup-de-grace? Peter, trapped in Doc Ock’s enfeebled body, has a heart attack and flatlines to close the issue, as Doc Ock strides off triumphant. Now there’s a twist on par with the end of The Sixth Sense. Well done, Mr. Slott.

SC: See, was that so –

DM: This is particularly satisfying for a couple of reasons. A couple of years ago, a similar conceit was used in a book called Dark Avengers, which featured a group of craven villains, led by Norman Osborn, parading around as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Brimming with deceit, backstabbing (sometimes of the literal variety) and Osborn’s slow descent into madness, the book had a compelling Shakespearean air of tragicomedy about it and was, hands down, the best (and best-selling) Avengers book in years. Alas, poor Norman, due to the requirements of the master narrative of the Marvel U, the book was  brought to a premature end. Slott has now taken this concept and applied it to the company’s flagship character. Even the jaded observer –

SC: Like you.

DM: -will have to admit this is a bold move. Furthermore (and the second reason this is satisfying) this seems a tacit admission that Peter Parker, as he exists now, is a debased character. In fact, with his character-defying Faustian dealings, he may be no longer even be viable in his current incarnation. Ending his run at ASM# 700 and beginning Doc Ock’s with Superior Spider-Man #1 suddenly seems downright inspired. This could work nicely as the status quo for some time.  Lord help me…I think I may be back on Spider-Man. If Slott plays it right, this concept could have legs.

SC: Eight legs?

DM: oh dear…

SC: Or should it be tentacles?

DM: Are you finished?

SC: ….maybe they could re-introduce the Black Cat and change her name to…

DM: Please don’t.

SC: Octopussy!

DM: I’m so very sorry.

SC: I’m not!

bag, Batwoman, Brian Azzarello, Brian Michael Bendis, Cliff Ciang, comics, Daredevil, DC Comics, J.H. Williams III, Mark Waid, Marvel, Miles Morales, Paolo Rivera, Sara Pichelli, Spider-Men, Tuesday, Ultimate Spider-Man, Wonder Woman

I’m marveling at the list: a short one, indeed.

Blind Trust

  • Daredevil #18: The Coyote comes to the big city.  Seems his bite might actually be a helluva lot worse.
  • Spider-Men #5: Loved #4 so much that Scott Lobdell could be a surprise guest writer on this and I’d still buy it.
  • Ultimate Spider-Man #15: I really like Miles.  I bet you do, too.

G.N.O.

  • Batwoman #0: The cover kicks, well, something–maybe your face!  Harvey Award winner J.H. Williams III is the best and is the only reason I’m back on board with the Batbroad.

Batwoman #0 Cover

  • Wonder Woman #0: Looking forward to a revealing story.  If the art’s revealing, too, all the better!

Five books?  Fine with me–and the ol’ wallet.  Looks like I’ll be able to eat this week.

What are you looking forward to?
