lurkerwithoutA Marvel heavy week. In fact a heavy week all around with a few older books tossed in. From Marvel we have the length-aly titled Avengers: The Initiative: featuring Reptil one-shot. Stegron the Dinosaur Man is attacking Initiative bases. And with the various teams still reeling from the Skrull invasion and Osborne's take-over Tigra has to rally various members to stop Stegron. Along with newest recruit Reptil, a kid with dinosaur related powers. Plus the book wraps up a dangling plot thread from the less than stellar and canceled Heroes-for-Hire book...
Guardians of the Galaxy has multiple resurrections and Phyla getting a new job...
And some of the fall-out from THAT leads to Richard Rider getting a new hero ID in Nova. Plus still MORE Osborne running things fall-out...
And the second part of the Darkhawk War of Kings lead-in ends. Still too much The Loners related emo-ness. So annoying. Being a super-hero teen sucked soooooo much. Also included is the original second issue of Darkhawk. Man does Mike Manley suck as an artist...
Wolverine: First Class returns under new writer Peter David. Its..ok. I mean it has Wolverine and Daredevil fighting the Hand. Thats always nice. But it doesn't really have the charm or wit of the Van Lente issues. Sadly it looks like David will be on the book for awhile to come...
Jack of Fables finishes the fall-out from the Revise/Book Burner war, secrets about Jack's origin are learned and things are set-up for a cross-over with Fables...
The Top 10: Special seems to jump ahead of the regular Season Two title. Pete's still no longer a cop and Girl Two has become a Public Defender. The one-shot is still being written by Zander Cannon but the art is by someone named Daxiong. Nice enough and he does well integrating the background cameos Top 10 is known for...
The Umbrella Academy has Space-Boy, the Kraken and Seance taking a stop-over in Vietnam before heading to Dallas to save President Kennedy from #5 and his time-travel buddies...
I also finally got issue two of Jersey Gods. Great cover by Darwyn Cooke and solid story. Zoe and Barock make a connection during the space god mall brawl and then have to go back to their day jobs...
Proof takes a step back to the early 1900s to a story of Proof's days with the circus and an encounter in London with the Spring-heeled Jack...
And from last week, I grab my first ever Avatar book. In this case the Jamie Delano title Rawbone. Which has lesbian pirates. Lesbian. Pirates. Why did no one tell me about this book last week! LESBIAN PIRATES!
