The Infinity Entity #1 (of 4) — Writer: Jim Starlin;  Pencils: Alan Davis;  Inks: Mark Farmer;  Colors: Jordan Boyd Mockingbird #1 — Writer: Chelsea Cain;  Art: Kate Niemozyle;  Colors: Rachelle Rosenberg The Haunted Mansion #1 (of 5) — Writer: Joshua Williamson;  Art: Jorge Coelho;  Colors: Jean-Francois Beaulieu This week’s Marvel debuts — Infinity Entity #1 continues Jim Starlin’s decades-long (as in, since the ’70s) chronicling of the adventures of Adam Warlock, Thanos, and Marvel’s cosmic characters; he’s been doing this lately in original graphic novels, so it’s nice to see this installment as a good-‘ol floppy comic.

Willow Wilson;  Pencils: Jorge Molina;  Inks: Craig Yeung and Walden Wong;  Colors: Laura Martin This tryout/preview for one of Marvel’s new relaunch titles has been decent enough, with sharp character interaction among a diverse, interesting cast. Its momentum gets spoiled here through no fault of its own: the climactic … Continue reading
