#NewComicsday and it's a great day to be a comic book enthusiast! Gotham prepares for yet another cataclysmic event in Batman as we also explore the softer side of Poison Ivy in her title and while we continue to wait for Shazam to improve. Marvel brings a new Punisher out, What If goes to the darker side while Vader joins with the Droids. Image also has its own darker issues this week with issue #2 for both Destiny Gate and Nights.
It's finally here! The All C's Fan Expo is this weekend! Be sure to stop by the booth, Smurf will be on hand to talk comics, do some podcasts, and will be helping with a special event to benefit Aurora Rise. But for now, we've got five stacked high and ready to fly:
Thanos #1> THANOS VS. THE ILLUMINATI! The Mad Titan descends upon Earth to retrieve something he has lost. And the Illuminati must band together to stop him, because they're the ones who hid it from him! (S) Christopher Cantwell (A) Luca Pizzari
Smurfs Take> I really have lost track if Thanos is dead or not. I mean I thought he was, but I'm not going to complain about a new story with him going to kick the pompous butts of the Illuminati. It's no surprise that I'm team Thanos and I know they can't use him as the big bad in every story, but I really enjoy when he can cut lose.
Transformers #2> THE SMASH-HIT SERIES CONTINUES! The Decepticons have been unleashed! As Optimus Prime and Autobots regroup, Starscream terrorizes humanity.This issue features a surprising first Energon Universe appearance! (S) Daniel Warren Johnson (A) Daniel Warren Johnson, Mike Spicer
Smurfs Take> Ok, this was surprisingly great! I don't mean for that to come off more negative than it sounds but the expectations were low. Sure, I'm a Transformers fan. But that doesn't mean it will be an instant hit for me and the past few years the track record has been less than impressive. This was something different, unexpected, and brutal to the very last page. This is the elevated Transformers story we always wanted but everyone was afraid to give us! Never thought a Transformer title would ever hit my top five and now here it is and it's burning up the shelves. Grab it quick!
Creepshow #3> First, the Eisner Award-nominated ZOE THOROGOOD (IT'S LONELY AT THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH) writes and draws the story of a woman who discovers the fountain of youth and her terrifying journey into "Eternity, Eternity, Eternity." Then, nightmarish novelist JOEL FARRELLY (Tell Me a Story) teams up with ghoulish GORAN SUDŽUKA (GHOSTED, Year Zero) to tell the tale of a gem heist with a Lovecraftian twist in "Sacrifices." (S) Joel Farrelly, Zoe Thorogod (A) Zoe Thorogood, Goran Sudzuka
Smurfs Take> So good and written in the spirit of the old Creepshow with a new modern take. Horror comics! God, I love em.
G.O.D.S. #2> Jonathan Hickman & Valerio Schiti continue to redefine the Marvel Cosmology! The Centum normally has twenty-five Primes, now only three remain. College isn't worth the time or the money. There's a hidden book in the hidden library that hides a hidden door. Kubisk Core is from Georgia, like that matters. (S) Jonathan Hickman (A) Valerio Schiti
Smurfs Take> I'm always asking for something different and to expand on instead of rewrite…well, this is just that. It's waaaaay too early to tell where this is going to go especially considering Hickman's writing style but there's enough mystery and character building to make me want to know more. The only fear is Hickman likes to make things unnecessarily complicated and I hope he avoids that trap this time.
Guardians of the Galaxy #8> THERE'S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN! AND NEW (?) GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. The truth about Grootfall is out there now, but will the universe listen? Do we even have to ask? It's the Guardians vs. Whitecap High Command! The Fight for the Fold reaches its explosive conclusion just in time for everything to go to flark! (S) Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly (A) Kev Walker
Smurfs Take> I have really been enjoying this run of Guardians! Something different and still fit's well with all of the characters. Everyone is dealing with something different while trying to save/stop Groot and with everything they try, it only gets worse. These are my ride or die Guardians!
