We’ll start off this week with two of our absolute favorite books, both from the Marvel camp: Journey into Mystery #633 and Punishermax #21! The former, thanks to an outstanding issue, found itself very highly ranked in the Top Twenty last month, while the latter works ever closer to its sure-to-be-gnarly series conclusion in issue #22. Plus, look out for Scarlet Spider #1 to which we can only say, "Send in the clones!" And we can’t overlook a freshly numbered Wolverine #300! Not a one shot, just a renumbering and a brand new story arc from writer Jason Aaron. Plus, Secret Avengers #21, Captain America #7 (third issue in three weeks), X-Men Legacy #260.1 and the long lost Brilliant #2!
Over at DC look for more New 52 including some of the best: Green Lantern #5, Batman and Robin #5, Batwoman #5 and Superboy #5! Plus a couple mini-series like Ray #2 (of 4)(the first issue was excellent) and Shade #4 (of 12). And I’d be remiss not to mention the mighty Scalped #55.
Image is having a big week, too, with a couble shot of Robert Kirkman’s Invincible — Invincible #87 and Invincible Vol. 15 TP — plus Severed #6 (of 7) and Whispers #1, an all-new series from Joshua Luna of Luna Bros. fame.
The full list follows…
Welcome to March! Can’t wait to get our annual Cosmic Madness Tournament going here in the next few days! Here’s to warmer temperatures! And pints of Guinness! And… oh, all right. You’ve got me. It’s not really March yet, but it IS time to check out our picks for that month! As always, we start with Marvel.
The first tie-in book for the Avengers Vs X-Men Event has been announced, one that Executive Editor Tom Brevoort has claimed will be the “least essential read of [the event], but it will probably be the most bestselling.” Why is that? Well the book is titled AvX: Versus and will be a 12-issue mini-series with rotating creative teams, and with every single issue consisting of a fight between a specific X-Man and Avenger character. That’s right, every issue will have a member of each side squaring off from different writers and artists. This will either be a brilliant mini or lame, there will really be no in-between for it. I’m hoping for it to be awesome. The first issue features a fight between Magneto and Iron Man by Jason Aaron and Adam Kubert, as well as, a fight between Namor and the Thing from Katherine and Stuart Immonen. Here’s hoping they fit in a Ms Marvel VS Rogue drawn by Frank Cho in there somewhere.
