NCBD 06.12.2019

So I went to bed at like 6am, to wake up at 9, to go to full day of work. Was finally able to sit down and read the words of spandex wearing weirdos. Woot! Today was a big day in terms of my pull list. Glad I got paid last Friday. Otherwise, I definitely would have missed out on a few of these hits. I restarted a few comics that I stopped picking up, so I’m definitely behind on some of these series. But hey, that’s always a thing when it comes to comics.

The Amazing Spider-Man #23 - So as I said last week, I love spidey. One of my favorites. And honestly, this issue was just oh so good. The epilogue to Hunted, and it went out with a bang. I don’t like a lot of what Nick Spencer has done in the past, but he’s definitely doing Spidey justice. He had that wonderful series about The Superior Foes of Spider-Man a couple years back, and I think Spencer just works within the frames of Spider-Man mythos. End of this had two huge set ups for later stories, and I’m excited to see where they go.

The Batman who Laughs #6 - I initially was very hesitant to pic up this series. I didn’t really care about that version of Batman and his involved throughout Metal. So a whole series dedicated to him being the main antagonist really didn’t tickle my fancy. But when I realized James Gordon Jr was in this series, I instantly picked it up. It’s a good story, and I’m glad it’s been pushed to be 7 issues long instead of 6. Gives it more time to breath and tell the story it needs to tell. Though it kind of puts itself into a never ending paradox of being the person who made you - you. But whatever. Comics man.

Detective Comics #1005 - As a man with simple taste, just having Tomasi and Walker on this series makes it good in my book. The villain was interesting - though I’m tired of it being a “child of x” type. But I liked her, and I’m glad her ending was inadvertently similar to that of the Joker’s. Kind of how like, you know they’ll come back somehow someway. It’s groovy man.

Event Leviathan #1 - Brian Michael Bendis’ first big crossover event at DC and I honestly think this first issue is just fantastic. It’s very BMB’s writing of dialogue on top of dialogue and witty remarks, but for the content of the comic, I think it works fairly well. The art by Alex Maleev is just. Man. If he could do more monthly comics, I’d pick them all up. Ever since his run on Daredevil, I’ve thought the world of him. Maleev, Lark and Jock all have this similar style of a sketchy realism that I just gravitate towards. If the story fails, the art really is able to pick it up in this. Team detective, Go.

The Flash #72 - Have I ever talked about the Flash before? Like Barry Allen? I’ve dipped in and out of The Flash throughout rebirth, only dropping maybe twice for some storylines I really didn’t care about, only to come back and resume the reading order. Year One was definitely a story arc I wasn’t going to miss. And I’m really glad I haven’t missed it, because this story is just so lovely. Everything I like about the Flash, wrapped up into a story about Barry and his love for Iris - in a way. Chapter 3 is great, and I just want these issues to come out FASTER. Get it? Because, Speed. Fast. Hah. I’ll see myself out.

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #7 - Tom Taylor man. Fuck. FNSM is a series that I have been telling EVERYONE to pick up. And I mean everyone. This is Spider-Man in his best environment with stories that really help demonstrate why we all love Spider-Man, while also picking his brain apart and telling us things we may not have considered. I love it. I would go on for hours about how much I love THIS spidey, but I won't. If you would like to know, just message. I’ll happily write a dissertation about it for you.

Hawkman #13 - I read the entire first arc of this series, and then had to drop it due to funds. I’m so happy I’m finally able to pick it back up and slowly get back to what I was missing. Conrad is now in interiors instead of Hitch, and I’m completely okay with that. Conrad had a great couple issues in Nightwing, and he’s definitely able to capture movement through the characters. This is a stand alone issue - thankfully - so I wasn’t missing anything. It’s a cute story, kind of romeo and juliet at war type.

The Immortal Hulk #19 - Just like Hawkman, Immortal Hulk is a great series I was forced to drop. But I was gone for much longer on this title, and I missed a lot. So there’s a lot of things I was super confused on. But that’s fine, it’s comics. I filled in the blanks with my own ideas and made it make sense. This is the Hulk I wish was in the MCU, a kind of horror villain who does good. Al Ewing and Joe Bennett does the hulk justice, and I’m just thrilled to be loving the Hulk. Haven’t done that since reruns of the hulk animated series.

Marvelous X-Men #5 - remember last week when I picked up the previous issue and I was super confused and didn’t know anything and all that jazz. Yeah well I picked up the NEXT issue and man. I’m still lost and I refused to try and do anything about it because it’s actually enjoyable at this point. This issue kind of told me everything I needed to know though, and I was able to fill in the blanks. Don’t know how they’re gonna get out of this. No that's a lie, Nate is going to fix it. I could of told you that from issue 1 if I read it.

Silver Surfer Black #1 - okay so I 100% picked up this issue due to Donny Cates. He is, at the time of writing this, my favorite writer at Marvel (next to Taylor and Zdarsky) and this story seemed just weird enough to garner my attention. And guess what. This story walked into my classroom, cussed out my professor, grabbed me by the hair, dragged me outside as I kicked and screamed, and then forced me to watch two birds fly around. It was beautiful and cathartic. This story isn’t cathartic, but the art is astounding, and the story is eccentric in the best way possible.

Spider-Man Life Story #4 (The 90s) - Remember last paragraph where I said Zdarsky was one of my favorite writers at Marvel? well he’s the proof in the pudding. This else world title where we see a real-time-aging Spider-Man go throughout life in a kind of “modern-esque” style. And while certain liberties are being taking that I wouldn’t be a fan of in a canon story - I am more than ready to accept this to be an else world for this peter. I’m really easy grader with comics and maybe that’s a vice of mine. Who knows. Oh well. I just read them. Dude I literally read 3 Spider-Man books today. Am I like... a fan?

Superman #12 - It’s Superman dawg.

The news from Marvel this week started out with four different vague teasers, all of which make it seem like they are going to do a major retcon of some of their classic stories, also announced was a new series from Gail Simone and David Baldeon, a new Spider-Man series from Chip Zdarsky and Mark Bagley, a new team-up book featuring some fan favorite characters, and more. From the teasers it appears Marvel is going to redo the origin for The Fantastic Four, have someone else save Jean Grey from the Dark Phoenix, have someone besides the Avengers find Captain America in ice, and someone else bring back Spider-Man after he hung up his outfit in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #50. These are four very classic stories from legendary creators so it will be very interesting how Marvel decided to redo them.

Also on Tuesday, Marvel announced a new series from the team that previously worked on DOMINO. Gail Simone and artist David Baldeon will launch a five part mini-series titled DOMINO: HOTSHOTS #1 in 2019. The series will feature Domino along with other bad-ass women as they take on some missions. No date for release was given in the press release, but the first issue will feature cover art from R.B. Silva.

All the teasers about the Marvel’s history being rewritten on Tuesday was followed by the announcement on Wednesday as to who was behind it. It seems Cosmic Ghost Rider is stuck in the past, so what does he do? Rewrite history in a 6-part series written by comedian Paul Scheer and Nick Giovannetti with art from Gerardo Sandoval. The first issue of COSMIC GHOST RIDER DESTROYS MARVEL HISTORY will be released on March 6th with cover from Gerardo Zaffino. “What if Spider-Man had aged at the same rate as our world?” That’s the question that the new Spider-Man series from the team of writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Mark Bagley looks to answer. The series kicks off in the 1966 and the Vietnam War taking place with Peter having to decide where is loyalties lie. The first part of the six part mini-series titled SPIDER-MAN: LIFE STORY will be released in March with a regular cover version from Zdarsky and a variant cover from Marcos Martin.

On Thursday a new title that will see Kamala Khan and Doreen Green (a.k.a. Ms. Marvel and Squirrel Girl) along with Daisy Johnson (Quake), Miles Morales (Spider-Man), Dante Pertuz (Inferno), America Chavez, and more. The five-part mini-series titled MARVEL RISING will kick off in March from McDuffie Award winner Nilah Magruder on writing duties, Roberto Di Salvo handling the artwork, with cover art from Audry Mok. As part of their year long celebration for their 80th Anniversary, Marvel is kicking off the year with 9 different variant covers from Phil Noto that will all connect together to make one large piece of art. Look for the variant covers in January at your local comic book shop. The Marvel Rising news above wasn’t the only news pertaining to Ms. Marvel this week, on Friday a new series starring her was announced. Coming in March from writer Saladin Ahmed, and artist Minkyu Jung will be THE MAGNIFICENT MS. MARVEL. The first issue will be released on March 13th, 2019 with three different cover versions; a main cover from Eduard Petrovich, and two different variant covers, one from Elsa Charretier and the other from Babs Tarr. The last piece of news for the week was sent out without any details aside from the picture below and “Amazing Spider-Man coming March 2019” Does this mean Kraven is going on the hunt again? Should the Marvel Comic Universe be worried? Check back next week and hopefully we will have more news on this….

All the press releases from this week are below. All artwork courtesy of Marvel.

BULLY, BRAWLER, MERCENARY, SPIES: MARVEL’S HOTTEST TEAM IS HERE!

Introducing The hotshots From Domino creative team Gail Simone and David Baldeon!

New York, NY—December 11, 2018—Domino. Black Widow. White Fox. Atlas Bear. Outlaw. Diamondback. This March, Marvel invites you to meet a dangerous crew of international women – the newest group of hot shots to enter the Marvel Universe! Celebrated DOMINO creative team Gail Simone (Birds of Prey) and David Baldeon (Spirits of Vengeance) are bringing you an all-new story filled with feisty femme fatales, intense action, mercenary adventures, and espionage. “So, it’s like this,” teased series writer Gail Simone. “Marvel came and said they love the team aspect of DOMINO and want to expand it even further. They said, you get to keep writing your favorite Marvel ladies, with your favorite Marvel artist, but on top of that, you get to ADD MORE AMAZING CHARACTERS YOU LOVE. It took about two seconds for me to say, ‘I’m IN, I AM SO IN.’” “Is it just me or is it getting hot in here? Marvel’s greatest femmes fatale assembled for a very specific mission (if they don’t kill each other first, natch!),” added series editor Chris Robinson. “After launching DOMINO to huge acclaim earlier this year, I’m absolutely thrilled to have Gail and David bringing the HOTSHOTS into the Marvel Universe (and our hearts!)” “Domino feels she has to grow up a little, and some of the new agents have virtually NO sense of humor. And they find an object that is something very close to the heart of the entire Marvel Universe,” said Simone. “The only problem is EVERYBODY wants it. We’re having a blast. It’s Domino, but with a bunch of the coolest characters in comics, kicking international covert butt and taking names. Best of all, it’s drawn by the incredible David Baldeon. This is the stuff I most love writing, and David is THE guy to draw it all and make it brilliant. I couldn’t be happier. Where do we go from here? THE HOTSHOTS AIN’T TELLING.” Who are the hotshots?
