The Multiversity: The Mastermen #1 — Writer: Grant Morrison; Pencils: Jim Lee; Inks: Scott Williams, Sandra Hope, Mark Irwin and Jonathan Glapion; Colors: Alex Sinclair and Jeremy Cox Silk #1 — Writer: Robbie Thompson; Art: Stacy Lee; Colors: Ian Herring Ei8ht #1 — Story: Rafael Albuquerque and Mike Johnson; Script: Mike Johnson; Art/Colors: Rafael Albuquerque Mandrake the Magician #1 — Writer: Roger Langridge; Art/Colors: Jeremy Treece A quartet of first issues for this week: Multiversity: Mastermen is the best (even if technically it’s, like, issue #7 of Morrison’s 52-universe-spanning crossover series), because (a) Jim Lee art, (b) the opening splash … Continue reading

Powers #1 — Writer: Brian Michael Bendis; Art: Michael Avon Oeming; Colors: Nick Falardi Groo: Friends and Foes #1 (of 12) — Story/Art: Sergio Aragones; Words: Mark Evanier; Colors: Tom Luth Burning Fields #1 ( of 8 ) — Writers: Michael Moreci and Tim Daniel; Art: Colin Larimer; Colors: Joana LaFuente These are the week’s first issues that caught my eye — although two of the three are relaunches, not debuts. Powers, for example, has been around for well over a decade — but it’s going to be a TV series starting in March (on the Playstation Network, so good … Continue reading

Tooth and Claw #1 — Writer: Kurt Busiek; Art: Benjamin Dewey; Colors: Jordie Bellaire Busiek’s known for his superhero stuff, but he’s very good at sf/fantasy, too — his Arrowsmith, about World War I being fought on an alternate earth where magic works, was worthy of someone like Fritz Leiber or Poul Anderson, and his Shockrockets was a Heinleinien high-tech romp. In this new series, he’s going for anthropomorphic high fantasy: on a world of intelligent animals, magic is dying, and their attempts to fix things have terrible consequences. Dewey has a lush, painterly style and a knack for structure … Continue reading

Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #277
Kick-Ass 3 # 8 ( of 8 ) — Writer: Mark Millar; Pencils: John Romita Jr.; Inks: Tom Palmer Millar has said previously that this issue is the end of both this mini-series and the entire Kick-Ass saga; he’s been coy about hinting that one or both of the main characters might not survive. I won’t play spoiler here, but I’ll say that it’s a satisfying conclusion, and has been his best sustained work (and certainly, if you go by publicity and movie deals, his most successful) — and that I actually cared whether the characters would live, one of … Continue reading

Rocket Raccoon #1 — Writer/Artist: Skottie Young Legendary Star-Lord #1 — Writer: Sam Humphries; Pencils: Paco Medina; Inks: Juan Vlasco Marvel’s milking their Guardians of the Galaxy franchise hard, with two new ongoing series starring individual members out this week, but they’re doing a good job of it — both books are worth a look. Rocket Raccoon is the best of the two, because Young’s art is such a wonder: fans know him from his “little kid” alternate covers to a bunch of Marvel titles over the last few years, and from his work on the various Oz books, and … Continue reading
