#NewComicsday and it's a great day to be a comic book enthusiast! 2024 has been off to a great start so far with some very impressive stories. This week is no exception even if it's a little lighter of a week. Marvel attempts to bring Magneto back to the front of the X-Books while DC begins to close out the Beast World arc, and Image finishes a few stories as well. Smurfs High Five is sponsored by All C's Collectibles who always has cash for your items that are in need of a new home. Till then we've got five stacked high and ready to fly:
Ghost Machine One Shot> Written and illustrated by JASON FABOK, GARY FRANK, BRYAN HITCH, GEOFF JOHNS, LAMONT MAGEE, FRANCIS MANAPUL, BRAD MELTZER, PETER J. TOMASI, MAYTAL ZCHUT, and more! A GROUNDBREAKING NEW ERA FOR COMICS, CHARACTERS AND CREATORS LAUNCHES NOW! An all-new powerhouse, creative collective collides into comics with GHOST MACHINE's 64-page special, introducing its all-new shared universe of strange, fun, exciting and action-packed characters: GEIGER! REDCOAT! ROOK! THE ROCKETFELLERS! AND MANY, MANY MORE! What ties Geiger, Redcoat, Widow X, and the other mysterious, historical heroes of The Unnamed together? Why is Rook the key to saving the war-torn world of Exodus? How will everyone's soon-to-be-favorite family of the future adapt to a new life in the present? THE STORIES ALL START NOW! CREATORS YOU KNOW. CHARACTERS YOU'LL LOVE. WELCOME TO GHOST MACHINE. (S) Brad Meltzer, Lamont Magee, Maytal Zchut, Peter J Tomasi (A) Gary Frank Jason Fabok Francis Manapul, Bryan Hitch
Smurfs Take> I'll say one thing about Image. They know how to get your attention. After seeing how the Energon Universe is taking shape makes me all the more excited to see this all come together. Something new, fun, and different; a comic enthusiasts dreams come true.
G.O.D.S. #4> That guy in the beekeeper suit is holding a thing that's freaking everyone out. A Skinner box is bigger on the inside than the outside. The Avatar makes an enemy on the Axis of Power. If you save the universe and no one remembers, is it worth it? Maybe. (S) Jonathan Hickman (A) Valerio Schiti
Smurfs Take> If I haven't said it before, Hickman never disappoints! This has been packed full of some amazing characters and story that I didn't think possible from a Marvel title. Almost feel like they should just hand the MCU over to him and call it a day.
Thrawn Alliances #1> RETURN TO THE SAGA OF THRAWN WITH THE COMIC-BOOK ADAPTATION OF THRAWN: ALLIANCES! TIMOTHY ZAHN teams with STAR WARS veteran JODY HOUSER to bring THRAWN: ALLIANCES to the pages of comic books! Watch as ANDREA DI VITO & PAT OLLIFFE bring the action to life showcasing the tactical prowess of the galaxy's most dangerous mind! (S) Jody Houser (A) Rod Reis
Smurfs Take> As much as I love all the attention Thrawn has been receiving from the animated series or from all of the new live action shows they still have only scratched the surface of just how sinister he is in the novels. Pulling this directly from the pages of the Timothy Zahn novel gives me a little hope of getting the Thrawn I've been so eager to see in the streaming series. The last few runs have been good and have shed some light on the characters origins but ready for something a little more intense.
Immortal Thor #6> A LEGEND FROM THE PAST! The All-Father sought answers to his new troubles in memories of old. And to refresh those memories, he consulted his Skald... ...to tell a tale of when Young Thor and Young Loki journeyed out beyond Asgard - on a quest that would determine the fate of all the Realms. This is the story of the IMMORTAL THOR...and of his first Journey Into Mystery. (S) Al Ewing (A) Martin Coccolo
Smurfs Take> This has been one great Thor story after another, and I have no doubt this is the next one. I've missed a good Thor Loki story for a while, can't wait.
Flash #5> As Wally West's powers continue to evolve beyond his understanding, another confrontation with the Stillness makes the group wonder if they are here to protect Earth with the Flash, or from him. While Wally seeks out the Resident for answers, Jai has a secret he really needs to tell his Dad, and Jai's quest to find Wally brings him into the heart of the horrors affecting Central City! (S) Si Spurrier (A) Mike Deodato Jr.
Smurfs Take> It's been great to see Wally back! I might have said that last week, but it still holds true. I really like the flow of this title right now, and how they've pulled a lot of the speedsters together without overloading the story or the reader. Great balance good story and the art is on point; a title that's really hitting its stride.
