A jester. A detective. And a... beast thing guy..? These three are the protagonists of the three books I'm getting this week. So, let's get to this week's PULL LIST!
PULL LIST
DEADPOOL #1
by Brian Poeshn, Gerry Duggan, and Tony Moore
I don't approve of the idea of Marvel Now, but I commend the House of Ideas for trying to make their books more accessible. Plus, Deadpool is a pretty funny character, Tony Moore is actually the CO-CREATOR of "The Walking Dead", and I've heard nothing but positive reviews for Brian Poeshn and Gerry Duggan's "The Last Christmas".
DETECTIVE COMICS #14
by John Layman, Jason Fabok, and Jock
Last month, John Layman instantly made on of DC's most consistently bad titles one of its best. Here's hoping the new creative team will catch lightning in a bottle twice! Plus: JOCK. IS. DRAWING. THE. BACKUP.
ANIMAL MAN #14
by Jeff Lemire, Steve Pugh, and Timothy Green
Rotworld has been a hit or miss event so far for me. The Animal Man tie-in has been beast (...) so far, with a Walking Dead feel to it. On the other end, Swamp Thing doesn't fare as well, since it doesn't benefit from having the likable and relatable characters that A-Man does. However, I hope that Steve Pugh and Timothy Green have cleaned up their act with this issue.
WISH LIST
STORMWATCH #14
by Peter Milligan and Will Conrad
OK, it looks like a lot is happening in this issue. Apollo and Midnighter fight Etrigan, the Projector or Adam-One return to the team (most likely the latter, due to his return from the dead in issue 0), and Harry Tanner finally infiltrates the Shadow Lords. Whew. The team is going to have a LOT on its plate.
ANTI WISH LIST
IRON MAN 2 MOVIE ADAPTION #1
by TBD
Why is Marvel putting this out just now? Isn't it too late now? Seriously, this was a poor movie, and the Avengers have already kicked its sore butt out of the minds of most Marvel fans. No one wants to experience this disappointment again, especially since Kieron Gillen and Greg Land are already tackling Stark in Iron Man #1 this week as well.
That Geoff Darrow cover for Deadpool is so amazing. I've never been a fan of movie adaptations, for me there's no point to them even if you release them on time...
ReplyDeleteBy the way, it took me longer than you to review Uncanny Avengers # 1, but I loved it (and I'll keep buying for as long as Cassaday is on board). Really great first issue. And you make a good point about life and death in comics, I'm expanding a little bit on those ideas on my blog post.
Cheers,
