I live , I roll in the hay ; you want to get into comics , but you do n’t know where to set out . And who can find fault you?This calendar week alone sees the release of more than 100 comics and lifelike novel , many of which are indefinable shlock . What you want is someone smart to give you a heads - up on what you should be spending your time and money on . Instead , you have me .
still , let ’s iron out forward , shall we ?
Probably the big Holy Writ of the calendar week is IDW ’s Angel : After The Fall # 1 , which follow in the footstep of Dark Horse ’s Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season Eight in let Joss Whedon himself ( co - written material with Brian Lynch , with art by Franco Urru ) tell you what happen after the cancellation of the Angel TV series . you’re able to check more about ithere , if you ’re so inclined .
Other multi - media crossover books this week include Marvel Comics ’ Iron Man : Director of SHIELD Annual # 1 – written by Law and Order ’s Christos Gage – and unbelievable Hulk # 111 – written by io9 favourite Greg Pak – laying the base for next yr ’s self-aggrandising summertime megahit movies . If you ’re more of a video biz person , then Image Comics ’ Dark Sector # 0 might be your thing if you ’re the variety of person who wonders where your black-market ops avatar got his super - powers forwards ofthe secret plan ’s press release at the beginning of next year . or else , you could pick up the long - delayed second issue of Marvel ’s adaptation of the Halo dealership , Halo : Uprising , which manage to make it into stores only two months belatedly . Hey , blank space mass murder takes time .
If exotic warfare is your thing , then Marvel are also putting out the third collection of their Annihilation series , in which germ - alike aliens annihilate various foreign planets while space - bound superheroes get their bum kicked trying to arrest them ( Imagine Star Wars meets X - Men , but with more dying ) . There ’s an entr’acte of Earth War in DC Comics ’ very enjoyable 52 mass 4 , but you might overleap it in between the other moments of sci - fi virtuoso ( Parallel earths ! An island populated by unbalanced scientists doing the bidding of a giant evil talking ball ! ) . evenly estimate - packed from DC is Jack Kirby ’s Fourth World Omnibus Volume 3 , which takes you into the last half of the inspiration for the successful part of George Lucas ’s career .
My pick of the week , however , would be Casanova # 11 . Matt Fraction ’s post - post - modern mash - up of every spy movie , science - fabrication book and superhero comic ever made continues to disport and delight with every new issue , and this latest chapter predict no alteration . How could anyone resist this seminal fluid - on ?
Her name is Suki Boutique , and she runs the most powerful and glamorous condemnable casino on Earth . Through her bank flows the innumerable illicit fortunes that go along the underworld wrench on its axis . Through her threshold come about a veritable who ’s who of fabulous supercrime . And tonight , Zephyr Quinn has come to collect a bounty . Has she met her mate ?
All of the above are available tomorrow where all near funnies are sell . If you do n’t know where that might be , then gohereand bump out and , no , you do n’t need to give thanks me for give you something to do while everyone else is watching Miracle on 34th Street on Thursday .
