Nick Budd Read and Thought:
X-Men: Endangered Species
Writer: Mike Carey
Artist: Scot Eaton
Company: Marvel Comics
Endangered Species, what constitutes as the opening bombardment for what seems to be a fairly X-Over rich couple of months, doesn’t start with the knock your socks off, big bang with Juggernaut sized, exploding party favors that one might have hoped for. Instead, what we’re given is a subdued tale full of much melancholy and infinite sadness, which is honestly a bit of a yawn for an X-Men story line. Carey centers all of the brouhaha on the attendance of a funeral (Who’s? I’m not telling) and through that and a handful of character vignettes, some of which are weaker or stronger than others, explores the ideas of the dwindling mutant population and the overall threat of extinction. Not the worst X-Men book that you can get your hands on but not great either.
Annihilation Conquest Prologue
Writers: Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning
Artist: Mike Perkins
Company: Marvel Comics
A smart, contemporary remix on the always classic cosmic/space based melee genre, Annihilation Conquest Prologue actually does the unthinkable, it ups the ante. What does that mean exactly? Well, it means that in some ways the story here manages to rise to the same level of excellence that its predecessor reached, matching the complex and superbly cast story. What’s more surprising is that in other ways, the tightly woven and action packed story presented here toys with plausibility of being better than the first. That may seem a rather bold statement but it’s the truth as Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, the creative minds behind the popular book Nova, continue to defy all of the odds and obstacles and have yet again provided us with a slick, nail biter of an opener who’s beat, while familiar, manages to be it’s own thing and feel entirely refreshing. Oh, and let’s not forget about Mike Perkins. His art here is a perfect fit for the story and is simply gorgeous. Highly recommend this one and if you need more convincing, read D3’s review here.
Tick 20th Anniversary Special Edition #1
Writers: Various
Artists: Various
Company: New England Comics Press
First of all…SPOOOOON! Okay, now that that bit of jocularity is out of my system, let’s talk Tick comics, specifically this jam-session issue with its numerous writers and artists doing one or two page homages to the wondrous and slapstick-y hero. To say that it was a fantastic issue that rivaled all of the other Tick books that have come before it would be a fabrication of the truth. This isn’t that exactly but what it does instead, is remind us that the Tick is damn funny. With a new four page story by series creator Ben Edlund and a standout two page story that encapsulates everything that was great about the short-lived cartoon series by Sean Wang, it’s safe to say that if you’re a Tick fan in any way, shape, or form, then you should probably take a look at this here anniversary special.
Dave Farabee Read and Thought:
Banzai Girls #1
Writer/Artist: Jinky Coronado
Company: Arcana Studio Inc.
How to describe? “Banzai Girls: the decidedly T&A adventures of college schoolgirl Jinky Coronado (also the pen name of the series’ creator), a hottie Filipino college girl who moonlights as a Britney Spears-esque pop star and Buffy-esque adventurer.” It’s all perfectly ridiculous and often just a set up for umpteen cleavage and panty shots, but there’s actually a sort of innocence and goodwill to the book such that it plays more as cheeky fun than late night Skinemax. Decently drawn, too, a bit like a horny Disney movie. I dunno. Not my thing, but it’s kinda cute as exploitation fluff.
Warhammer: Forge of War #1 of 5
Writers: Dan Abnett & Ian Edginton
Artist: Rahsan Ekedal
Company: Boom! Studios
A bloody good time, this one. For those who don’t know, Warhammer is a fantasy setting that’s played host to roleplaying games, computer games, tabletop wargames, and novels. It’s a particularly dark setting that contrasts starkly with the high fantasy of Dungeons & Dragons. I’d actually been hoping this mini would be more of an adventurous exploration of that setting, but it seems to be taking its cue from the wargaming side of the equation by focusing on a massive battle between humans (and their dwarven allies) and the forces of Chaos. And it’s as good a fantasy battle as I’ve seen in comics, with scenes of the actual battle interlaced with scenes of the various factions preparing, each in their own way. It’s definitely a shotgun introduction, but it provides the reader everything he needs and delivers a strong, Braveheart-level battle. My only gripe is the art, which, like many a Boom! title, is solid but not outstanding, and features some fairly garish coloring. Still, I dug it. Recommended for the kind of folks who geek-out on last stands in movies like 300, Gladiator, Braveheart, etc.
Hedge Knight II: Sworn Sword #1 of 6
Writer: George R.R. Martin (adapted by Ben Avery)
Artist: Mike S. Miller
Company: Marvel Comics
The first Hedge Knight miniseries was one of the best miniseries I read the year it hit, and damned if it doesn’t look like its sequel aims to measure up! Adapted from novellas in George R.R. Martin’s much-loved Song of Fire and Ice fantasy series, the Hedge Knight stories are easiest described as serious takes on the premise of the movie A Knight’s Tale - that is, a squire gets in over his head when his knight master dies and he rashly chooses to impersonate him. In this latest outing, our hero has gained a measure of confidence but finds himself serving under an aging knight whose own guards mock him behind his back. There’s a palpable atmosphere as the story concerns a grueling drought overtaking the land and creating dangerous tensions. In fact, everyone’s drawn with sweat-soaked shirts, one of the many excellent details of Mike Miller’s exceptional art. But first and foremost, this is a story about characters - men on the lower end of the feudal scale. And while the lead may work his ass off to live up to knightly ideals, that’s by no means true of everyone he’s forced to ally with. A great read, steeped in realism and devoid of all the usual fantasy cliches.
Dan Grendell Read and Thought:
Repo #1 of 5
Writer: Rick Spears
Artist: Rob G
Company: Image Comics
From the team that brought us Teenagers From Mars, Dead West and Filler comes a new story of repo men in the near future, where- surprise, surprise- bigotry is still going strong. Racial divides have cooled down- a little- and the new people to hate are clones, which are marked with tags and shot on sight by the extremist police if they leave research labs. Into the middle of a fight for clone rights step Gwai-Lo and KD, two repo men who are just looking to get paid. But if Lola Belle and Kent of the Crosstown repo crew have anything to say about it, they’re going home empty handed. Excellent characterization, great dialogue, and fun action are the name of the game here, as Spears brings his usual strong writing and inventiveness and Rob G tells the story with his standard flair.
Transformers: Megatron Origin #1
Writer: Eric Holmes
Artist: Alex Milne
Company: IDW Publishing
You know, I’ve been a Transformers fan for most of my life. And somehow, I never wondered just where Megatron came from. I guess I always assumed he sprang from the mechanical womb an evil asshole, hating all Autobots. Turns out, not so much. There’s a story there, and this mini-series is going to tell it. Once upon a time, back when there was peace on Cybertron, Megatron was a simple miner of energon. But, as tyrants have discovered throughout time, treat your workers bad enough for long enough, and they rebel. One mine revolt and attacked senator later, and Megatron has begun his path down the dark side. Holmes does a good job selling a believable story here, and Milne’s art, while murky and hard to follow at times, is overall strong and compelling. A good start to a promising new Transformers tale.
Tales From the Crypt #1
Writers: Marc Bilgrey, Rob Vollmar, and Jim Salicrup
Artists: Mr. Exes, Tim Smith 3, and Rick Parker
Company: Papercutz
It’s been more than fifty years, but a landmark title in comics history is back. And Papercutz knows what it’s doing. For all the hype about the original Tales From the Crypt brought about by Frederick Wertham, it was generally suitable for all ages- filled with dark humor, twist endings, and macabre characters more than blood and guts. That same philosophy rules this new relaunch. There are two stories here, both morbidly humorous but not by any means something a ten-year-old couldn’t enjoy. The first story, about the dangers of stealing from an artist who paints pictures of corpses, is hindered a bit by an art style that didn’t quite seem to fit it. The second, about an obsessive collector who is bitten by his desire, had just the right amount of humor and horror. Overall, this is a great first issue, and I’m glad to see this book back.
Randy Lander Read and Thought:
Highwaymen #1 of 5
Writers: Marc Bernardin & Adam Freeman
Artist: Lee Garbett
Company: DC/Wildstorm
I have a fondness for buddy movies and action movies, and it’s clear from reading Highwaymen #1 that Bernardin and Freeman do as well. Highwaymen has it all, from the old pros pulled in for “one last job” to shadowy government bad guys to a stunning action chase wherein our heroes deal a smart, satisfying beatdown to better equipped, better informed pursuers. The flavor of the writing is a mixture of solid action tropes like you’d expect from Chuck Dixon, but with a touch of wit and character you’d see in a Warren Ellis comic. The story is full of great banter, nice touches of sci-fi futurism and a couple of clever/funny references to modern-day politics, but the biggest draw is definitely the action. An opening heist scene sets the stage, the car chase between the reunited protagonists on a city bus is brilliant, and Lee Garbett carries it all off nicely, with an art style reminiscent of J. Scott Campbell and Frank Quitely.
Madame Mirage #1
Writer: Paul Dini
Artist: Kenneth Rocafort
Company: Image/Top Cow
Going in, I wasn’t too excited about this book… as with all too many Top Cow books, the focus seemed to be on the heroine’s enormous, mostly exposed breasts. And certainly the artwork, which is overly busy and garishly colored by Imaginary Friends Studios, didn’t do anything to convince me it was going to be any different from most of Top Cow’s output, which is generally not for me. However, while Madame Mirage is not a book that clicked with me particularly, neither is it the brainless cheesecake the covers and promo images would imply. Dini has cooked up an interesting backstory, similar to Wanted, where the war between superheroes and supervillains ended badly, with the heroes dead or in jail and the villains running an immensely profitable organized crime empire. Enter Madame Mirage, a mistress of disguise who is systematically eliminating these villains and their organization, a sexy version of the pulp archetypes of Doc Savage, The Shadow or The Phantom. It’s a good idea, but the moment-to-moment writing and the art unfortunately never rises above the mundane.
The Weapon #1 of 4
Writer: Fred Van Lente
Artist: Scott Koblish
Company: Image/Platinum Studios
There’s a weird blending of genre in The Weapon, as Van Lente mixes superhero action with martial arts flicks. The good news is that the base concept, and a lot of the story, is like reading a really good ’80s superhero comic, including a stellar martial arts throwdown amidst freeway traffic courtesy of Scott Koblish and colorist Paul Mounts. Tommy Zhou, martial artist and inventor, is a fun and likable protagonist, and Megan Dean-Hughes as his backer makes a great potential partner. The bad news is that the whole “Shan-Tao Order” and “Lin Kuei Forest Demons” elements feel wildly out of place in this modern action story, and the idea of using energy weapon generators clearly meant for superhero kung-fu fighting as a business model also pushes suspension of disbelief a bit too far. There’s a solid action book in The Weapon, but it’s buried under a couple layers of extra genre mix elements that don’t belong.
D3 (David Martindale) Read and Thought:
Spike: Shadow Puppets #1
Writer: Brian Lynch
Artist: Franco Urru
Company: IDW
I’m writing this blurb from the perspective an Angel/Buffy noob. I’ve seen exactly half a season of Buffy and read 4 issues of the new Season Eight book. Having said that, I find the title pretty disappointing. The dialogue feels like it’s trying way too hard to be witty, and the plot seems to be coming from previous television continuity. I expect that any newcomer to the Buffy universe would find it as confusing and meaningless as I did. The art lacks in detail, but the storytelling is quite strong, and I was happy with the creative use of panels. if you’re a fan of ninjas, puppets, or puppet ninjas, you may want to give a flip through, but otherwise skip it.
Soulfire: New World Order #1
Writer: J.T. Krul
Artist: Francisco Herrera
Company: Aspen
Two things struck me right off the bat with this title. There was some pretty cool use of panels “zooming in” to other panels, and the coloring ruined the art. If you flip to the back of the issue and take a look at the artist’s sketches, you’ll notice that they look about 400% better than the finished product. The coloring destroyed all the detail that made the sketches look good, and the art just ended up looking muddled and exceptionally two-dimensional. The story seems mildly interesting, and the raw pencils are actually pretty nice. Unfortunately, the coloring takes the book from mildly interesting to just below average. Very skippable.
First Born: First Look
Writer: Ron Marz
Artist: Stjepan Sejic
Company: Top Cow
It’s basically a #0 for what appears to be Top Cow’s crossover event for all it’s most popular properties. Essentially, it looks like a Darkness, Witchblade, Magdelena story. There really aren’t any significant surprises here. The art isn’t terribly bad or terribly good, and the writing falls in the same category. The book does, however, do a rather impressive job catching up a new reader on who the major players are and what their background is, but I just can’t overcome the underwhelming sensation of blah I get from the book. There’s a torture/interrogation scene followed by a cliff hanger action sequence, and no point was I excited, scared, or disturbed. The book just fails to elicit any response at all. Skip it unless you’re just a big fan of Top Cows’ flagship properties.

QuoteIs that a typo? Marvel put out a swords & sorcery book?
If I want to buy it, but want to wait for the trade, does that send a message that there’s no interest? I never know with these things.
20 Jun 2007 at 5:10 pm
QuoteThey don’t seem to trade all of them. I know that Hero Squared has been collected, and the Tag TPB just came out. But little else. (I’d imagine they’ll collect the Warhammer stuff, though.)
20 Jun 2007 at 5:25 pm
QuoteFall of Cthulhu trade was just solicited.
Megatron Origin was shockingly good for a character that, quite frankly, has never had any depth whatsoever. Holmes did the smart thing and just focused on the situation that made him a criminal. But Megatron’s reactions are interesting.
I’m a Transformers fan but I hold no illusions that it’s crap and only one writer-Furman- has made the comics stories work. But I may have to up that to two.
20 Jun 2007 at 5:53 pm
QuoteSomehow, hearing that a book about giant action robots contains “senators” makes me chuckle. Is Megatron’s secret origin that he’s really Anakin Skywalker?
20 Jun 2007 at 7:58 pm
QuoteI believe they only put out a few trades while waiting for deals with the book trade to be established (which has now occurred), and that more and more trades should be following in the near future.

QuoteKB, I love San Francisco and I’m always a little sad that I don’t get to spend any time there, but knowing that there’s a Tezuka show in the museum makes me even sadder.
And don’t worry about where to post… like Kirby, Tezuka is *always* on-topic.
There were some pretty good reads this week, I thought. Biggest surprise was how much I enjoyed the very early work of Matt Wagner in Grendel Archives. Oh, sure, it’s got a cartoony, not quite ready for prime-time look and feel compared to the grim tone and beautiful linework of the later stuff, but everything that made the character and story work is very much there, and there are nice details in reading the original stories that you don’t get from reading Grendel: Devil By The Deed (which the Archives inspired me to pull out and reread).
Like Dan, I give Repo a hearty two thumbs up. It has a fair amount in common with Highwaymen, including a slick sense of humor, a great partners dynamic and an interesting backdrop for its action storytelling. Definitely some of my favorite reads of the week. The only thing that compares is True Story Swear to God #6, which once again managed to bring tears to my eyes as Tom Beland tells of the culmination of his journey bringing his story to life in comics. There’s so much cynicism and bitterness and disappointment in this industry, and Tom’s comics are like the antidote. Even if you’ve never read an issue, if you have any interest in seeing *why* self-publishers would work so hard for an audience that mostly numbers in the hundreds, read issue #6 of TSSTG.
I thought X-Men Endangered Species was pretty awful, even though I give it points for the use of Sebastian Shaw (an underused villain ever since Claremont departed, really) and a funny gag with Madrox offering to help with “re-population.” Also, 17-part backup stories to tell the crossover? Weird, lame format.
Marvel Adventures Iron Man is a lot of fun, a nice modern all-ages spin on the concept that’s closer to what I want from the character than anyone has gotten since Bob Layton. It’s still not quite there, and Cordeiro’s action sequences could stand to be opened up and clarified quite a bit, but there’s some fun stuff, especially with Van Lente’s version of Pepper Potts and Jim Rhodes.
The Spirit #7 was a bit of a mixed bag for me. Simonson’s story features great art by Sprouse, but doesn’t quite seem to “get” the Spirit vibe in the way that Cooke or even the other guest writers this issue do. Palmiotti’s tale is kind of fun, a nice inter-locking story of characters whose lives The Spirit touches briefly that pays homage to Eisner’s storytelling style, and features amazing artwork from Jordi Bernet, it’s definitely my favorite one of the book. And Kyle Baker’s is drowned by oppressive color, surprising given that it’s coloring genius Dave Stewart at work, but I think he and Baker are emulating an EC/Frank Miller vibe in an attempt to spoof (or, more charitably, pay homage to) what Miller may do to The Spirit in film. It sort of works, sort of doesn’t.
I had a basic “enjoyable, but don’t care about this universe much anymore” read with Captain America and Incredible Hulk, and a mostly enjoyable but slowly becoming overwhelmed by all the characters and continuity bits of Brave and the Bold.

QuoteDidn’t Doctor Strange (temporarily) exile the Hulk to another dimension back in the 80s? My memory’s a bit fuzzy….
Anyway, I don’t have a particular problem with the basic idea of exiling the Hulk to another planet or wherever, my problem is the execution: so Reed Richards, Tony Stark, and Doctor Strange are no longer merely amoral assholes, they’re also incompetent. Wonderful.
I really really hate the Marvel Universe right now …

QuoteCarey built up some goodwill with me on X-MEN (and LUCIFER, of course), despite the apparent collapse of both Chris Bachalo’s and Humberto Ramos’s storytelling abilities, but I gotta say that Endangered Species was about as exciting as, well, a funeral. It was very well written though; put me in mind of Lobdell actually, who really shined with underrated skills on these types of introspection one-shots. So I guess I’ll give the backups a few weeks to grab me.
But really, what is it that Beast is going to do for a hundred-odd pages? He only has four choices at this point: 1) track down Wanda and get her to say her name backwards or whatever, 2) a Franklin Richards reality-warp, 3) knock some sense into Pietro, or 4) develop a “cure” (a cure for NON-mutancy…take that, Joss!). Frankly, #4 is the only thing you’d want to use Hank for in a case like this. So…are we back to page after page of Hank hanging upside-down in a labcoat with chemical vials in his feet and DNA screens all around him? “In this issue, the brilliant Beast gets ever closer to finding a cure for the Legacy–err, M-Day!” Carey might be taking this Lobdell thing a little too far…

QuoteDid you read Planet Hulk? Hulk’s ship didn’t get lost, it was sucked into a capture portal by the people on the planet he ended up on. People on Earth think it got lost because it never ended up where it was supposed to go, and blew up later. If your point is that people on Earth shouldn’t have thought it was lost because Dr. Strange could just snap his fingers and locate it, I have two responses. 1. Strange is allied with the non-Registration crowd, so Iron Man and his crew wouldn’t exactly be calling him up for help. 2. Dr. Strange can essentially snap his fingers and solve 90% of the problems in the Marvel Universe. It doesn’t make for very interesting storytelling.
22 Jun 2007 at 1:30 am
Quote“It doesn’t make for very interesting storytelling.”
I don’t think portraying established, decades-old superheroes as fascist pricks makes for very interesting storytelling, either. I dug The Authority back in the late 90s, but they weren’t really superheroes were they? They were a bunch of authoritarians imposing their will (with force) on others, something heroes shouldn’t do.
Maybe Marvel could stop ripping off old, played-out concepts and do interesting stories about, you know, heroism?
22 Jun 2007 at 7:59 am
QuoteThanks for the info on Boom!’s trades policy, everyone.
I’m with Cove on Endangered Species - it was paradoxically both unexciting and well written.
22 Jun 2007 at 10:53 am
QuoteI’m of two minds on this. On the one hand, it certainly can make for interesting stories. On the other, those stories aren’t about the characters Marvel has produced for forty years- they are about twisted, off-center versions of them. So it isn’t that the stories aren’t interesting to me, it’s that the characterizations are all off.
22 Jun 2007 at 11:22 am
QuoteWell yes and no I read the first planet Hulk where it looked like it did just get lost I knew there was more than likely more to it but frankly i’m not cutting Marvel that kind of slack these days.
And no I dont want dr strange to fix the universe but Hulk’s been shot off the planet before (first time way back in Hulk 3) and they have never had Strange there before. The writter put him there it should matter.

QuoteTitle: Banzai Girls # 1
Publisher: Arcana
Writer: Jinky Coronado
Artist: Jinky Coronado
Price: $ 3.95 US
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Comments: The art catches your eye right from the start as Jinky and Michelle are briefly shown on their music tour as the Banzai Girls.
The art has a slight manga look to it. Jinky is shown as a very cute school girl. The one scene though were a bully gets out of hand shows this cute school girl is much more than just that.
Katie J or Kat seems to have stolen Jinky’s admirer away. Frederick and Kat do hit it off. Kat decides to go on a treasure hunt and takes Frederick along to track down a Kapre. This hairy man like creature does not pose that much of a threat but he is drawn with a strange look about him that suggests the supernatural. Now if Kat and Frederick can just make it out of the woods alive they are rich.
The characters through out the comic are based on Jinky’s real life family and friends. This adds a touch of realism to the magical world of the Banzai Girls. The story even takes place where Jinky was born and raised and her sister still lives, in the Philipines.
As you follow Jinky and friends through her day it is easy to tell how fun this story is. Her character is so full of life.
So enter the world of Banzai Girls and have some fun!

QuoteI enjoy reading all kinds of comic books. Some can be very graphic one way or another, like Wolverine and BloodRayne but there are also times when I want something that’s just fun to read with great illustrations of beautiful girls. For me, Banzai Girls is just that. Not too naughty and not too nice.
