29 Thoughts About 29 Of Today's Comics – Saga To Squirrel Girl…
Another Wednesday! Another week of comics! But what are you buying? Here are some possibilities…
A new Saga. And one of the best parody titles for The Sun I think I've been – and there have been many over the last decades. Applause, applause, applause as we get down and dirty with our tabloid journalist couple. But journalism, as we know, is not what it used to be
Faith #1 gives us a kinda-Buzzfeed place. So naturally I feel right at home and totally relate to Faith. Thanks Valiant!
Cry Havoc has, yes, lesbian werewolves at war but also a discussion about male/female hyena politics, the real
And lesbian non-werewolves not at war in Beauty. But just "tops"? Rather restrictive…
Never ever ever send a Hellboy to buy a Christmas present.
Rick & Morty #10 is a very uncomfortable comic. And not in the "back of a Volkwagen" way. But there's a lot of discomfort going aroun today, to one degree or other. From this physical violation…
To this mental one in Jem And The Holograms #11.
A combination of both in Transformers: Sins of the Wreckers #3
And plenty of mixed emotions if you choose to climb The Spire #6. All eyes on this comic book…
And basically an ever grosser version of the same in Munchkin #13. We get what we want, what we need, what we deserve… sometimes.
And something a little more obvious with Slash in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #54.
Superman: Lois And Clark also manages to unsettle me a little with this line, as the pair try and investigate what makes this Earth different – and similar – from their own, to prevent an impending apocalypse.
Something Old Man Logan has on his mind – or his arm – as the comic continues to not bother making any sense, when compared to Secret Wars. Just move on everyone, nothing to see here…
Basically, everyone's doing Terminator.
Yes, even Squirrel Girl.
Have you been watching the new X-Files TV show but can't avoid the nagging feeling that it would be a lot more fun if the Lone Gunmen turned up? Well, they just did in the comic! And justifies Mulder "going there" even sooner than usual…
Orphan Black Helsinki #3 gives us the classic modern youth dilemma. What is one without the other?
Bloodshot Reborn #10 sees a little controversy over the trademark infringement of Shadowman images. Valiant does, after all, love a trademark.
While Ghostbusters International #1 is doing a little brand management of its own. Also, Valentine's Day is just around the corner…
And Moon Girl is a lot more open about her identity and branding than others. Well, this is the social media age… gotta have a handle.
And trademarks to help when Chogs take off – even more successful in the world of Chew than in out own. And that's still really successful.
And Venus #2 jostles for nerd position in space….
Wonder Woman is challenging continuity again, with this moment from Aquaman…
Battling with this moment from Justice League Of America…
While Justice League 3001 plays up on Dark Knight Returns even more than you might have previously been thinking (which was a lot) as the all-female superhero team of the future continue to not exactly get on…
It's often been said that the government owns you. With Cyborg, that steps up a notch. As the technological shift that such an individual might represent to society is stymied just a little… conspiracy!
Magical police procedurals have their rules just like any other. Black Magick also plays nicely with the black and white, with magical objects gaining elements of colour. It's a great trick that really works on the page.
Hang on, hang on Teen Titans, you say this town has no hero vigilantes such villains. And you see a bunch of villains surrounding a hero vigilante…
I'm not entirely sure everyone is singing from the same songsheet here.
Still not wild about the accents in Wild's End: The Enemy Within #5. But gotta love their sound effects….
So… what did you buy?
