Comics Guide for Jan. 29, 2014

Welcome to Comics Guide Airlines! I'm your pilot, Captain Comics. This is an excellent flight, with lots to see, but as usual we have a few words about safety:

1. Remember that clicking on art will get you a larger version, so don't hurt your eyes squinting at the thumbnail!

2. We have separated Action Lab, Archie and Dynamite out of the "Other Publishers" list into their own sections because ... well, because. I do have their solicitations, so it's easy.

3. I will add any previews that arrive on Monday and Tuesday.

4. Remember to leave your flight attendant in his or her original upright position!

Here we go:

MIRACLEMAN #2

ISSUE #2 – COVER BY ALAN DAVIS

VARIANT COVER BY ARTHUR ADAMS

SKETCH VARIANT BY ALAN DAVIS

48 PGS./Parental Advisory…$4.99

• KIMOTA! With one magic word, a long-forgotten legend lives again!

• Freelance reporter Michael Moran always knew he was meant for something more -- now, a strange series of events leads him to reclaim his destiny!

• Relive the ground-breaking eighties adventures that captured lightning in a bottle -- or experience them for the first time -- in these digitally restored, fully relettered editions!

• Issue 1 includes material originally presented in WARRIOR #1 and MIRACLEMAN #1, plus the MARVELMAN PRIMER. Issue #2 includes material originally presented in WARRIOR #1-5, plus bonus material.

Somone asked on this board if Miracleman could possibly have the same impact now as it did when it first came out. And no, I can't imagine that it would, since all its coolest stuff has been cannibalized over the years to the point where the title is no longer avant-garde. But that question is apparently pretty common, as I've seen a half dozen articles on the Internet the last few weeks by fanboys coming to Miracleman's defense. That's as it should be -- maybe Miracleman won't blow people's doors off today like it did in the 1980s, but it's still a historically significant book that changed the way people looked at superheroes.

FINAL PLAGUE #4

(W) J. D. Arnold

(A/CA) Tony Guaraldi-Brown

$2.99

Monkeys on the loose in New Jersey! The hounds are released in Iowa! And in Chicago - Lions, Tigers, and Bears! Oh my! The final plague continues to spread. Panic has gripped the globe, and the world begins to burn.

The next issue has a zombie tiger on the cover, and this month we have a zombie lion. You know, I haven't read this book, so I may be missing the point, but aren't lions and tigers pretty lethal when they AREN'T zombies? But we don't worry about them, because our odds of meeting one -- zombie plague or not -- are pretty minuscule.

What would scare me, if animals turned zombie, are all the animals we DO meet on a daily basis that are ordinarly NOT lethal, but now would be. Dogs, cats, raccoons, squirrels ... we would literally be eaten alive. Worst of all? Zombie rats. Think about thousands of zombie rats scrambling out of the sewers with a mad urge to eat us. Now THAT'S scary.

FRACTURE ENCORE EDITION ONE-SHO

(W) Shawn Gabborin

(A/CA) Chad Cicconi

$3.99

Just in time for Fracture Volume 2, see where the story began with this encore edition of Fracture Volume 1 #1! In the metropolis of Lower Triton, the city's greatest hero, Virtue, its nastiest villain, Malice, and an everyman named Jeff have something very important in common. They're all the same guy - and none of them knows it until now!

DARK HORSE COMICS

CONAN AND THE PEOPLE OF THE BLACK CIRCLE #4 (of 4)

CONAN’S LAST STAND!

Fred Van Lente (W) and Ariel Olivetti (A/Cover)

FC, 32 pages, $3.50

Miniseries

To rescue the captive Devi Yasmina, Conan will have to overcome the malicious magicks of the Black Seers of Yimsha. But even if he can defeat the foul sorcerers in their own mountain fortress, he must still contend with their even more formidable master!

• From the celebrated team behind Hercules and Hulk!

“Ariel Olivetti’s art is simply beautiful.”—Comic Book Resources

FURIOUS #1 (of 5)

RAGE FUELED JUSTICE!

Bryan J. L. Glass (W)

Victor Santos (A/Cover)

FC, 32 pages, $3.99

Miniseries

Staring into a fractured mirror of her life, the world’s first superhero, Furious, seeks to atone for her past sins by doling out rage-fueled justice! But the spotlight of our celebrity-obsessed media threatens to undo her noblest efforts and expose her true identity before she can achieve redemption.

• From Bryan J. L. Glass and Victor Santos the creative team of Mice Templar!

• Furious is where celebrity, fame, and superheroes meet.

This isn't the first time the idea of superhero-as-celebrity has been explored -- Marvel's X-Statix and Image's Ultra leap to mind -- but I think the concept is more in tune with our times than the "dark avenger of the night" mystery-man image left over from the '40s, the super-cop of the '60s or even the dark anti-hero of the '80s and '90s. Which is not to say I will necessarily enjoy this -- I'm not too fond of our fame-crazed pop culture, and still can't force myself to watch reality shows.

GANTZ VOLUME 30 TP

ALIEN HELL!

Hiroya Oku (W/A)

B&W, 192 pages, $13.99

TP, 5 1/8” x 7 1/16”

As masses of helpless humans are brought aboard the gigantic alien mothership, the horror on the ground below looks like a picnic compared to what the monstrous invaders have in store for their prisoners. But despite the odds, Kei Kurono has infiltrated the mothership and its alien city, and he may have only one chance to find his lost love before she suffers a bizarre fate worse than death!

Gantz has sold over fifteen million copies in Japan!

• Popular anime series and live-action feature.

Gantz is unrelenting.”—Manga HelpersNEVER ENDING #3 (of 3)

HOW DO YOU KILL AN UNKILLABLE MAN?

Adam Knave (W), D. J. Kirkbride (W), and Robert Love (A/C/Cover)

FC, 32 pages, $3.99

Miniseries

It’s all down to this: the driven-yet-demented hero Chuck Baxter versus mortality and his own superpowers! Can evil scientist Archibald McCrae achieve his life’s goal and kill the earth’s only unkillable man? And when Chuck’s past comes to haunt him, how will he respond? Either way, this is the end.

• The Eisner and Harvey Award–winning writers behind Amelia Cole deliver their first superhero adventure!

SERENITY: LEAVES ON THE WIND #1 (of 6)

ZACK WHEDON WRITES THE CANONICAL FOLLOW-UP TO THE FILM!

Zack Whedon (W), Georges Jeanty (P/Variant cover), Karl Story (I), Laura Martin (C/Variant cover), and Dan Dos Santos (Cover)

FC, 32 pages, $3.50

Miniseries

Malcolm Reynolds’s crew shook the ’verse to its core when they laid bare the crimes against humanity undertaken by their sinister government—the Alliance. Always outlaws, Mal, a very pregnant Zoe, new pilot River Tam, and the other surviving crew members are in greater danger than ever. Meanwhile, everyone is asking the same question . . .

• Buffy’s Season 8 and 9 artist conquers the galaxy!

• Executive produced by Joss Whedon!

“As a science fiction story, Serenity has it all.”—Broken Frontier

Where’s Serenity?

SLEDGEHAMMER 44: LIGHTNING WAR #3 (of 3)

MIKE MIGNOLA’S IRON SOLDIER TAKES ON THE NAZIS!

Mike Mignola (W), John Arcudi (W), Laurence Campbell (A/Cover), and Dave Stewart (C)

FC, 32 pages, $3.50

Miniseries

A battle between the Black Flame and the iron soldier known as Sledgehammer heats up as the fight over a cutting-edge American warplane explodes in the sky!

• From the pages of Hellboy!

“Mignola has hit a home run with [Sledgehammer].”—Comic Bastards

“Mignola has, seemingly without effort, created another iconic superhero.”—Geeks Unleashed

Yes, this does seem like "Iron Man in World War II" at first blush, but remember that Iron Man himself had predecessors in the '40s, like "Electro, the Marvel of the Age!" And this is by Mike Mignola, so it's bound to be a different take than straightforward superheroics. Wherever this gets collected, I'll be there to buy it.

    Hex’s journey through the modern age continues! Guess whose attention Hex attracts as he makes his way to Metropolis!

    This is why I didn't like Hex (a book with Jonah in the far future), and why I'm not looking forward to reading this story in trade.  Hex is just so out-classed in future stories that I think it lessens him as a character. He is of, by, and for his time.

    That being said, I laughed out loud when Batman went back in time on the Brave and Bold cartoon to the Old West, and one of Jonah Hex's first lines when he got a gander of the Bat-costume was "Time traveler, eh?" Man of few words, that Jonah.1801215843?profile=RESIZE_180x180AQUAMAN #27

    A YEAR ONE ADVENTURE OF DICK GRAYSON AS ROBIN! Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson have shared a distinctive crimefighting role: Both have played Batman to a young Robin, so when they discover something important that Damian left behind it leads them to relive one of their first adventures in Gotham City as Batman and Robin!

    So, is this title now the moral equivalent of the old Brave and Bold Batman team-up series, with the guest character's name now included as part of the title? If so, that's quite a high-wire act. How often can they plausibly add a new guest star (and get rid of the old one) every issue in an ongoing narrative? This issue has a plausible reason for adding "Robin" to the title, but how often can that happen?

    I didn't realize when I read the Gothtopia story in Detective #27 that it was the launch of a new storyline, so I'm afraid I didn't read it very carefully. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

    From the pages of THE SANDMAN! Neil Gaiman’s intrepid dead schoolboys head back to the horror that is St. Hilarions School; the place where they both were murdered. While trying to protect their new acquaintance, techno-savvy sleuth Crystal, from suffering the same fate at the hands of familiar bullies, Charles and Edwin begin to unravel the mysteries surrounding their own untimely demise.

    I have often wondered how the dead boys got so dead so young. I have the same question about Casper the Friendly Ghost.

    Steve Trevor’s quest to learn where the missing heroes are leads him to an unlikely ally—Killer Frost—and to one of his most deadly enemies: Cheetah!

    Since that's Wonder Woman and not Killer Frost on the cover, I guess it depicts a flashback scene. Which raises the question: How long were Diana and Steve an item in The New 52? And were they really, or was that just wishful thinking on Steve's part? I've never really had a good handle on that.

    The GLC in all-out battle with the combined might of the Durlans, Khund and Clann! Will the Green Lanterns partner with some of their worst enemies in order to survive this onslaught?

    I've always kinda liked the idea that the Durlans are the most despised race in the universe, if for no other reason than it's a handy excuse for why they mostly stay on their home planet (instead of embarking on a campaign to infiltrate and conquer the universe, like the Skrulls). Besides, the way they have been depicted post-Silver Age is exceptionally creepy.

When Li'l Sonja encounters a town plagued by eccentric bandits, she needs to figure out the pattern behind the thefts and bring the baddies to justice. No task is too tough for our crimson-haired hero. And if that isn't enough, each Li'l book comes with a two-page activity sheet!

    In 1939, Vincent Trout Hamlin had been writing and drawing the successful Alley Oop for more than five years. In Alley Oop, Hamlin created a unique concept, marrying his fascination with dinosaurs and prehistoric times to a rollicking style of storytelling and drawing that was simultaneously serious, fantastic, and loaded with slapstick. The series was set in the kingdom of Moo and starred Alley Oop, the club-wielding caveman, his girlfriend Ooola, friends Dinny the dinosaur and Foozy, and more!

    This volume features Oop's final Moo adventure, followed by his trips to the 20th Century and ancient Greece. Hamlin would send his characters everywhere and everywhen - but the classic Alley Oop begins with the stories contained in this volume.

    Continuing to set the gold standard in comics preservation, IDW Publishing’s Library of American Comics, in partnership with DC Entertainment, will release the amazing never-before reprinted adventures of Superman that appeared in the Sunday newspapers for more than twenty-five years. The strips will be releases in in chronological order in three sub-sets: the 1940s Golden Age, the 1950s Atomic Age, and the 1960s Silver Age.

    The first volume in the Superman: Golden Age Sundays series will collect 170 sequential Sundays, from May 9, 1943 through August 4, 1946, beginning where the Superman Sunday Classic book by DC Comics and Kitchen Sink Press left off. These World War II-era stories feature work by legendary artists such as Wayne Boring and Jack Burnley.

    “We’re printing the series in an oversized 9.25” x 12” format,” says editor Dean Mullaney, “so that readers can fully enjoy these glorious full-color tabloid Sundays.”

    The stories include the complete “Superman’s Service to Servicemen” series, which ran from late Summer of 1943 until a few months after the Second World War ended. In these human interest tales, Superman responds to requests from men and women of the armed services, as well as their family members back home. In supporting troop morale, Superman travels from the Mediterranean theatre to the bleak Aleutian Islands to the steamy South Pacific. He helps a wounded Army Air Corps pilot return home to witness the birth of his twins; solves numerous romantic misunderstandings; checks up on mothers for their worried sons overseas…while simultaneously stopping enemy torpedoes, bombs, and bullets!

    In a clever transition to the post-War world, there’s a flashback to Superman’s origin and Clark Kent’s first assignment at the Daily Planet, followed by a thrilling inter-stellar saga in which Superman comes face to face with Queen Arda of the planet Suprania, who threatened to kill Lois Lane unless the Man of Steel agrees to become her King!

    These Sunday strips represent an important era in the development of the Man of Steel into an international phenomenon. Each book in the series features an introduction by Mark Waid and covers drawn by Peter Poplaski.

    Superman: Golden Age Sundays joins The Library of American Comics and IDW’s line of archival DC classic newspaper strips, first started with Superman: Silver Age Dailies, which will continue into 2014, as well as the 1940s Wonder Woman and the 1960s Batman.

    I'm delighted I've lived long enough to see a time when there is a market to support material like this. At last, the world has caught up with me!

    BLACK SCIENCE #2 2ND PTG

    1936198956?profile=RESIZE_180x180New science-fiction action is the hit comic of the winter, goes into second printing

    The second issue of the hot new series BLACK SCIENCE, created by Rick Remender (THE LAST CHRISTMAS, Uncanny Avengers, Captain America) and Matteo Scalera (DEAD BODY ROAD), has already garnered critical acclaim and instantly sold out on the day of the release. The speed and action picks up when the group realizes that the likelihood of returning home might be jeopardized… by someone among their group. A new group leader is appointed and more information on their perilous journey is revealed.

    Praise for BLACK SCIENCE:

    “Black Science is a winner. Any sci-fi fan will be hooked.” — Iann Robinson, Crave Online

    “The visually-stunning first issue plunges the reader head first into a Rod Serling fever dream. From creatures to spacesuits, the art team of Matteo Scalera and Dean White aesthetically tempers tension of the unknown within the familiar groundwork of vintage sci-fi.” — Robert Tutton, Paste Magazine

    “Whatever dark wizards Remender made a deal with to create this story are certainly getting their money's worth. Black Science #1 is the start of a terrifying new thrill ride that I will be reading between my fingers, hands over my eyes.” — Matt Little, Comic Book Resources

    “Matteo Scalera's art and Dean White's colors are enough to make you wonder what you did to deserve such a treat.” — Tony Guerrero, Comic Vine

    “Without a doubt, this thing is a work of art, the kind of comic you just marvel at. Do yourself a favor and buy Black Science #1. Buy it and get lost in a world of anarchy, science and fantasy.” — Benjamin Bailey, IGN

    “The book is completely unlike anything on shelves right now.” — Justin Partridge, III, Newsarama

    “As a collaborative effort, Black Science immediately impresses with its relentless sense of wonder mixed with grounded, complex characterization.” — Vince Ostrowski, Multiversity Comics

Enter Roy Thomas and Neal Adams, and readers witnessed one of the most amazing evolutions in Marvel history! These two titanic talents threw caution to the wind with sensational stories that brought the X-Men in synch with the thriving youth culture of the late ’60s. Adams’ lavish and dynamic visuals merged with Thomas’ challenging and contemporary stories to create a comic-book series that throbbed with the pulse of the times like none other. Thrill to the introduction of mutant mainstay Havok, the vampiric villain Sauron, the Mutates and Sunfire; battles against the Living Pharaoh and the Sentinels, a classic team-up with Ka-Zar in the Savage Land, and the return of Magneto and Professor X!

    • A tale of Young Thor, in the age of the Vikings. Here be a dragon. ‘Nuff said.

    I've said before that this is the best iteration of Thor since Simonson, and here's an example of why. Today's writers have gone out of their way to characterize the Viking-age Thor as far different from today's version -- more hot-headed, more arrogant, not yet worthy of Mjonir. In fact, he gets a whole lot of mortals killed, because he loves fighting and doesn't think about the consequences. I love this because it demonstrates the character's growth in stark terms, plus it makes Asgardian tinkering on Earth in the Viking age more plausible.

The seemingly all-powerful madwoman called Mercy has gone too far, slaughtering innocent people to fulfill her twisted mission of mercy. Who can the team turn to to help take down this powerhouse? How about Johnny Blaze, the original Ghost Rider? Can he save the team before it all goes to hell? Or will he lead them there?

    First the Champions, now this. Ghost Rider must be wondering why he never gets invited to any of the good team books. Is it the flaming skull? Does he smell like a barbecue? It's the chains, isn't it? They scratch up the furniture.

    “VENDETTA” PART IV

    Vendetta reaches its epic conclusion in the pages of UNCANNY X-FORCE #17 – from blockbuster writer Sam Humphries and red-hot artists Harvey Tolibao and Dexter Soy! Classic X-Force villain STRYFE has returned and is determined to exact his revenge upon Cable, the man on the man who left him broken and adrift in the timestream, by taking from him what he holds most dear: his daughter, Hope! But rather than killing Hope, Stryfe plans to corrupt her. He’s put Bishop — the man who relentlessly hunted her across time — in Hope’s crosshairs … and the means to end him in her hands. Will Stryfe get his revenge by enabling Hope to get hers? One thing’s for sure: After this, X-Force will never be the same.

    • Don’t miss this no-holds-barred, knock-down, drag-out X-FORCE event! Because when the dust settles, only ONE X-Force team will be left standing …

    Is it too much to hope that Stryfe gets killed, at least for a while? I find him really boring. Also, I think his hat looks stupid.

    At ’70s Marvel, no one mastered the startling scope and high-concept complexity of cosmic adventure like Jim Starlin! And his work on Adam Warlock set the tone for star-spanning spectacle that is considered a high-water mark to this day. Starlin evolved Warlock to the next level, imbuing the character with the inner demons of a man-god on the brink of insanity. Forced to confront an evil version of himself and the nihilistic menace Thanos, Warlock’s conflicts weren’t just knuckle-grinding throw-downs — they were epic, existential struggles for his very soul. Featuring the first-ever assembling of the Infinity Gems; the debuts of Gamora and Pip the Troll; and an all-out struggle to save the universe joined by the Avengers, Captain Marvel and Spider-Man!

In the wake of Ma-Ma's death, other criminal gangs in Mega-City One are moving into the power vacuum, trying to fill the gap in the market left by the Slo-Mo drug. When a corpse dump is discovered in a rad-pit, the bodies are all revealed to be mutants. Could the dead be connected with an outfit smuggling illegal refugees into the city from the Cursed Earth? Dredd once again teams with Psi-Judge Anderson as they scour the underworld for the perps responsible, to bring them to justice!

    I really liked that movie!

    In the city of Ergastulum, a shady ville filled with made men and petty thieves, whores on the make and cops on the take, there are some deeds too dirty for even its jaded inhabitants to touch. Enter the "Handymen," Nic and Worick, who take care of the jobs no one else will handle. Until the day when a cop they know on the force requests their help in taking down a new gang muscling in on the territory of a top Mafia family. It seems like business (and mayhem) as usual, but the Handymen are about to find that this job is a lot more than they bargained for.

    New York Times bestselling writer Garth Ennis, writer of The Boys and Preacher, selects his favourite stories from the seminal 1970s British boys' comic Battle. Included here for the very first time are the complete HMS Nightshade, and the never-before-reprinted The General Dies At Dawn stories. With insights and introductions by Ennis himself, these war comic rarities are not to be missed!

    I'm genuinely curious about this. Was Battle really that good, or is it just part of Garth Ennis' childhood?

    Last month I was prepared to make my usual snark about GFT covers, whose sole purpose  seems to be to find new and ingenious ways to transform female fairy-tale characters into soft-core porn. But, alas, for some reason all the cover artists last month were in a grim-n-gritty mood, and it was all knives and blood and gritted teeth.

    1814, near the little village of Hartlepool England, a war-ship in the Napoleonic fleet sinks. Amid the wreckage, fishermen discover a survivor: a monkey dressed in full military regalia, the mascot of the shipwrecked French vessel. The people of Hartlepool despised all Frenchmen and, though they have never seen a Frenchmen - or a monkey for that matter, the ape unfortunatly found himself court martialled. Inspired by the famous legend of the Hartlepool monkey, this is a tragi-comic fable of war and jingoism, of xenophobia and ignorance and of the glimmering of enlightenment.

    Adds The Baron: "Cultural note:  A common thing in Japan is the meido kissa, or "maid cafe," a type of cafe where the waitresses dress up as maids and address the clientele as though they were "master" (and "mistress") of a private home.  The clientele of such places tend to be largely -- though not exclusively -- male and the staff tend to be largely -- though not exclusively (!) -- female. The reason I mention this is that there also exist "butler cafes," aimed more at a female clientele. Many butler cafes tend to hire Western men as staff, although I've heard that someplaces have female "butlers."

    Raleigh doesn't have a soul. A cat stole it -- at least that's what she tells people -- at least that's what she would tell people if she told people anything. But that would mean talking to people, and the mere thought of social interaction is terrifying. How did such a shy teenage girl end up in a car with three of her hooligan classmates on a cross-country road trip? Being forced to interact with kids her own age is a new and alarming proposition for Raleigh, but maybe it's just what she needs - or maybe it can help her find what she needs -- or maybe it can help her to realize that what she needs has been with her all along. This special hardcover edition of Bryan Lee O'Malley's classic coming-of-age graphic novel includes previously uncollected shorts and extra bonus material.

    An intense action thriller from the artist of the bestselling series, High School of the Dead! Oriha's TV career is just kicking off, and a live performance with a pair of pop-idol rivals will surely boost her popularity to even greater heights! But when the studio and cameras suddenly go dark, Oriha discovers she's been upstaged by an armed and angry terrorist group whose plan for "reform" involves executing the idols one by one. But Oriha isn't ready to make her final bow just yet!

    Like I said, I'm glad to see all these books from the East. And from the looks of this cover, I'd say our adolescent boys have much the same interests as their adolescent boys! It's good to see some things are universal. :)

    "Yes!" Imagine a city much like any other crumbling, crime-ridden, corrupt modern city, except it? key people are shockingly similar to WWE super-stars. That city is Titan City. And Titan City is on the brink of chaos while warring factions try to track down the missing $10,000,000.00 that was allegedly stolen by John Cena! CM Punk prepares the people against the corrupt McMahon machine. John Cena finds himself manhandled by the enforcer Mark Henry. And Randy Orton confronts someone who could change the landscape of the city forever with just one word: yes! Daniel Bryan is ready to take over!

    Heh! Mick Foley is writing this! Awesome.
