Comic Book of the Week

CAPATAIN AMERICA #30
Written by Ed Brubaker
Art by Steve Epting & Mike Perkins

This was one of the best issue of Brubaker's incredible Captain America run to date. I cannot recommend this issue, or book, enough. Brubaker immediately throws us into the action by continuing with Bucky's confrontation with Lukin, who he finally realized was the Red Skull last issue when Crossbones and Sin walked in on him. Bucky shows why he was one of the best assassins in the world as the Winter Soldier and quickly takes down the Skull's backup. Skull, completely underwhelmed by this, merely mocks Bucky throughout the fight before activating a one-time shut down code for Bucky from his Winter Soldier days.

Throughout the book, we get several looks at Tony Stark, as he starts putting the pieces of the puzzle together regarding the Serpent Society attack that freed Crossbones in previous issues. This leads them to Dr Benjamin, the SHIELD psychiatrist Dr Faust replaced. They quickly find his home deserted and upon searching the premises, they find Dr Benjamin's real body stuffed in a freezer, where he had been for a long time, prompting more thorough investigation into all agents that had come into contact with him.


Around this time, Brubaker drops the biggest bomb of the issue on us in the form of Sharon Carter. She's been experiencing nausea and other symptoms over the last couple issues and we find her in her bathroom with a pregnancy test. Yes, it appears a Baby Cap is on the way unless Brubaker throws some kind of curve ball our way.

Following up on this revelation, Tony begins reviewing the Fallen Son footage of Cap's death and starts piecing together more and more pieces of the puzzle. With the fake Dr Benjamin knowledge, he is looking at the footage in a new light and comes to the realization Sharon was responsible for the followup shots on Cap! On top of this, we get a quick glimpse at the letter Cap had delivered to Tony post-death several issues ago. The issue continues on a roller coaster ride as the various plot points all intersect when Falcon and Black Widow show up at Sharon's place. Dr Faust's programming activates and she takes down both heroes just as Tony is warning Black Widow about Sharon's involvement with Cap's death.

Finally, Tony is seen suiting up and calling in SHIELD agents to assist when Widow stops responding. Just as he is leaving, we get a full shot of the letter from Cap. Basically, Cap asks Tony to look after Bucky and not let him turn back into the monster he was as the Winter Soldier. The last thing he asks is that Tony not let the legacy of Captain America die. America needs a Captain, now more than ever, according to Steve, and he wants Tony to preserve that dream.

An incredible issue with tonnes of information to digest with several shocking revelations. Who will be the new Cap? Will Bucky take this letter as a sign Cap wants him to take up the mantle? What about Hawkeye? Tony asked him once, will this change his mind? Based on the cover previews and Red Skull and Dr Faust's capture of Bucky, it looks like they reprogram him as Winter Soldier and force him to fight or try to assassinate Tony. I'm not sure what Skulls overall plan is, but this series just kicked into high gear and this is easily the Book of the Week. No matter what you do, do not miss the issue.


NEW X-MEN #42
Written by Christopher Yost & Craig Kyle
Art by Skottie Young

After the lackluster Search for Magik arc, New X-Men blasts back with an incredible opening to the next two part storyline, Children of X-Men, which appears to be a more low-key adventure, dealing with the search for the youngest mutant on Earth or, at least, at the Xavier Institute. It also sees the return of the older X-Men to the title in full force, having realized they have neglected the younger mutants, having left them to fend for themselves against Ryker and Belasco and so on, when they may just be the last generation of X-Men ever.

This issue shifted focus between all of the large cast of young mutants, with scene changes handled quite nicely, having either Mercury come in asking for birth dates or one of the older X-Men looking for a teacher/student session. I was quite pleased to see further exploration into the changes in Victor, Pixie and Santo from the last arc. It was especially funny seeing Santo and Laura X trying to get Victor to agree to let them cut off his other arm in hopes it would grow back bigger and cooler looking like his other one did in the last arc. I was, however, disappointed they quickly changed Santo back into his regular rock form. The lava / magic rock form he came back with from the last arc was fairly impressive and seemed to have some major potential. To switch back to his regular form, while logical in execution, just seemed like a waste of the huge impact his form had last arc and, in my opinion, was quite cool looking and his best redesign yet. Pixie's personality is quite infectious and she seems quite happy to be on the new team until Logan hauls her in for training in the Danger Room. Another funny moment ensues with Logan screaming, "$#%^ing unicorns!", while chasing the magical based Pixie through the kitchen. What made the scene was the other mutants sitting at the table eating completely oblivious as they run by, as if it's a regular occurrence at the mansion. Great little scene. Look for it and more in this week's Moments of the Week.

Laura X had a lot of excellent scenes this week as well. The previously mentioned Santo and Victor scene was one of them. Later, when Surge is questioning what happened to David during the Belasco fight, everyone is giving her half truths and beating around the bush. When she asks Laura, she clinically describes, in full detail, how Belasco tore open David's chest and pulled out his heart. Despite how terrible it sounds, it was quite funny when juxtaposed against the other panels of everyone skirting the subject with her. Finally, at the end of the issue, Surge, probably in an attempt to get back at David for taking life threatening chances when he has no powers, kisses Hellion in front of everyone. Laura has had some great character development with Hellion and he even saved her life once, at great risk to himself. It was nice to see how jealous Laura gets here as she pops her claws and looks livid as Surge kisses Hellion.

The entire issue is filled with great moments like these and more. Great issue and I was almost tempted to make it my Book of the Week if Captain America had not been so good. Definitely give this issue a try if you are interested in great character driven books. One of the best and most consistent X-books on the market in my opinion.


PENANCE: RELENTLESS #1
Written by Paul Jenkins
Art by Paul Gulacy

I'm not quite sure what to make of this issue. It seems to contradict everything going on in Ellis' Thunderbolts, but at the same time seems to take place concurrently.

For instance, Penance is obsessed with numbers in this issue. He is writing them in books and always mumbling about them to himself. They seem to relate to how much time has passed since the explosion in Civil War, but the end of the issue seems to imply they meant something more. This seems great and all, but there has been absolutely no mention of this in Thunderbolts or any other Penance appearances.

Further, it shows Robbie out and about, having coffee in town, which he has been doing regularly enough for a waitress to take an interest in him. He also has a fully stocked bedroom with furniture and pictures and lights. Jenkins explains the bedroom in dialogue, but when the most recent Thunderbolts issue showed he was nowhere near ready for something like this, it makes me wonder when this issue takes place and what prompted the sudden change from Ellis' interpretation.

Finally, Robbie has been sort of on the team voluntarily and wants to serve on it as his penance for his involvement in Stamford, hence his name. Yet, this issue has him plotting some bigger plan, which seems to involve Dr Doom, as he had a member of a Latverian terrorist cell take a message to their unnamed leader, which I assume to be Doom. When did he develop this desire to seek out others or to hatch some sort of covert plan? Is this after Ellis' current arc, which appears to be building up to a Scourge of the Underworld infiltration of the T-Bolts base and foreshadows Robbie becoming a Hulk level threat? There's far too many unanswered questions here for my liking. If it is after the current Ellis' arc, the characters featured and structure of the base imply nothing has happened since then.

The issue itself was well written and the art was serviceable. I am intrigued enough by the whole numbers obsession and curious as to what is going on with Robbie, but I am also very wary as to the need for this miniseries and how it fits into the current Thunderbolts run. The issue is worth a check, but you might want to wait a bit to see how this fits into everything. Nothing worse than spending money on a book that ends up being completely forgotten and has no lasting impact on the character. If you are interested in the Penance character at all though, this issue gives you a lot to sink your teeth into.


ANNIHILATION: CONQUEST - QUASAR #3
Written by Christos Gage
Art by Mike Lilly

Quasar burst out of the gates in its first issue with all pistons firing. The last issue was a bit of a recap on Moondragon and her origin and, while good, nothing spectacular. This issue continues the downward spiral of this Annihilation: Conquest miniseries and I really hope Gage has something big planned for the final issue next month.

Most of the book deals with Moondragon's transformation into the physical manifestation of her name, the Dragon of the Moon. It is an interesting take on the character and the exploration of the telepathic bond and relationship Quasar and she has is done quite well.

Quasar and Moondragon quickly pick up the trail of the savior character they are searching for and try to catch up to the Super Adaptoid before he can assimilate him. Upon landing on the new planet, they fall into a trap where the Super Adaptoid shoots them out of the sky, which seemed rather generic and a bit contrived. They fall to the ground and eventually wake up in a village where the townspeople saved them after the fall. As they were only out a short a time, they quickly leave after giving their thanks. They enter the saviors tower only to find more monsters, which Moondragon quickly takes care of. Finally, they catch up to the Adaptoid, who has encased the savior in a techno cocoon like object in an attempt to convert him to the Phalanx cause. It reminded me of Adam Warlock to be honest, with the whole cocoon thing and his time as Him. Be interesting if it turned out to be him, as he has not been seen in a long time.

Before they can free him, the Adaptoid reveals that an army of Phalanx are ready to take out the town that saved the two heroes. It seemed like a generic plot twist and they had not built up that much of a emotional connection with the townsfolk to be so overly worried about saving them as to abandon the one hope for saving the universe. However, they quickly decide to leave and go save the village. In an awesome display of power, Quasar eradicates the entire army in one attack, using up the last of her Quantum energy as the last jewel turns black. I had though it would cause the evil entity or corruption in the bands to overtake her, but apparently they did not choose to go that route with it and she is merely powerless.

The Phalanx are suffering more and more from the ninja effect. It seems the more of them there are, the weaker they become. If a 100 ninjas come after one hero, you know he will beat them all back. If that one lone ninja shows up, you know it's a fight to the death. That's the way the Phalanx are becoming in my eyes and since the Annihilation: Conquest Prelude book, they have really lost any effectiveness they had at being any real threat to any of our heroes.

This issue was a very average outing to be honest. I'll stick with it, as Starlord and Nova have yet to disappoint, and the main Conquest story should be starting up very soon. This issue isn't nearly as weak as the Wraith series, but definitely a step or two below the other offerings in the Conquest line.


COUNTDOWN #32
Story by Paul Dini
Breakdowns by Keith Giffen
Written by Tony Bedard
Art by Al Barrionuevo

Countdown continues this week with another decent effort. It is still not at a point where I would really recommend it to anyone, but the quality has improved ever so slightly in the last couple weeks. Though, there are still far too many convenient plot twists and odd character choices that serve only to move the plot ahead in my opinion.

This issue deals mostly with Black Canary party. Many of 's bacheloretteDC's female metas are present for the event and it pretty much mirrors the cover with the exception of Stargirl. The entire issue featured Supergirl and Wonder Girl trying to sneak some alcohol. Why the cover has Stargirl and Supergirl on it is a mystery to me, but probably some editorial mistake or artist error. I'm not sure on the age limits of strip clubs in America, but they serve alcohol, so shouldn't Supergirl and Wonder Girl be kicked out? Wonder Woman takes the liquor away from them but does not object to their being physically allowed in the party to watch the men strip.

I'm too lazy to go dig out last issue, but I thought Flash put the Rogues in Zatanna's home, not a hotel room. Seems odd to have a giant mummy guarding a hotel room just upstairs from the bachelorette party, but it is Countdown, so I'll let it slide. Another major problem was the Rogues having their weapons and tools of the trade. I'm pretty sure Deathstroke would have relieved them of them and I know Flash would have taken them away earlier. Yet, here he has to take them from the duo as they try to escape the room. How they escape the room after this is even more odd and the writer seems to be making fun of it with the dialogue as well. Piper uses the phone and random beeps from typing numbers to knock out the mummy. Even Trickster comments on how the mummy shouldn't even have a brain to be affected by the beeps hypnotic effect. Surely, they could have come up with something better than this for how they escaped?

Finally, the book deals with Mary Marvel's interaction with Klarion. After the last month or so of Klarion showing her around a bazaar, which was like ten minutes of interaction in the story, he offered to help her for a fraction of her power. As she randomly decides to help this person she just met and she has no real idea who he is or what he wants from her, I have to ask how can she really decide she wants to give him a fraction of her power? Yet, it's Countdown, so it has to happen for no reason. Ten minutes with someone showing you around town is more than enough time to determine you would want to give them part of your power. Despite her reaching her hand out to offer him power, Klarion decides to try and drain her of all her power. It seemed like it was completely out of left field and why he would do this when she was offering him power freely is beyond me.

Apparently, being betrayed by a blue skinng, creepy looking magic user she just met pushed Mary over the edge to the point where she does not trust anyone anymore and they are all just after her powers. This seems like a good time for DC to push the story ahead, so Eclipso finally makes contact and lures her to her location. Despite her protests of not trusting anyone, she seeks out this voice in her head offering to help her. Yes, it is a contradiction from the page before, but Countdown has no need for continuity, not even within individual issues. The book ends with Mary finding Eclipso in the Temple of Artemis, the Goddess of the Moon. I wonder if this is related to the Amazon's in anyway, what with Granny Goodness appearing on the promo ad for Countdown with Eclipso at her side and Granny having just been revealed in Amazon Attacks as controlling all the Amazons.

Despite my negative attitude throughout the review, the book is doing much better than usual. The stories are all finally starting to come together and things are finally starting to happen.


WORLD WAR HULK #4
Written by Greg Pak
Art by John Romita Jr

Back in last week's Post-Crisis Preview, I predicted WWH would most likely be the Book of the Week based on the last three issues of the smash-hit series. Sadly, this issue came up well short and was extremely disappointing. The art was very sloppy and looked rushed to me. I'm not a fan of JRJr's work post-Clone Saga. I feel it has evolved into a blocky, over inked mess. However, his work has been quite good for the last few issues of this series. That changed with this one and I feel it really distracted me from enjoying the book. The story itself was not overly great this issue either. While the Hulk and his Warbound have had plot armour preventing them from losing any fights and most of the issues center around Hulk laying the beat down on all commers, the issues were still enjoyable and delivered what everyone was hoping for. This issue just felt like Pak was trying to finish off Dr Strange and get the gladiator fights out of the way so he could have a Sentry vs Hulk showdown next issue to end the series. Everything felt rushed after the drawn out smash-fests that the previous issues were. For a series that is built solely on the fights and hero battles, not delivering on that premise or failing to deliver plausible solutions to the situations is a major no-no.

Speaking of fights, the fight with the Zom-possessed Dr Strange fell completely flat and was ended in a very contrived manner. Zom is a being of such great power it took the Living Tribunal, one of the most powerful cosmic entities in the Marvel Universe, to dispatch Zom the last time Strange encountered him. Thus, Zom-Strange easily dispatches and damages Hiriom, the mystic Warbound member of Hulk's group early on in this issue. Pak had promised this issue would have a huge Hiriom moment, yet nothing seen this issue reflected that. Maybe it was cut at the last minute for some reason.

After taking care of Hiriom, Strange quickly tears through the Hulk as well, even impaling him with his spiked-balled fists. During the fight, Strange sends Hulk flying into a building, which starts to come down and would crush the nearby civilians. Strange, caught up in Zom's overpowering essence, can only watch in horror as he sees everyone crushed by the building. Upon seeing this, he seems to power down and sift through the rubble only to find Hulk has saved all the people, despite the injuries sustained fighting Strange. For some reason, Strange no longer has any power and the Hulk promptly punches him into submission. No reason given, just punch, punch, punch, and it's over. No explanation what happened to Zom's power. No reason as to why Zom did not take over Strange's unconcious body or why Strange became so weak. One panel he's god, the next he's out cold.

Once Strange is conveniently out of the picture, we can get to the gladiator fights. I'm not sure what I was expecting here, but what I got wasn't it. A couple pages of people reading reasons why they think the heroes, who have saved their planet dozens of times, should die and Hulk posturing and monologuing, asking the heroes how it feels to be treated the way he was. Hulk then makes them fight a giant monster without their powers. The beast must not have got the huge power up the Warbound and Hulk got after coming to Earth as the heroes make short work of it. After this, Hulk forces them to fight each other. Mostly they just stand there and take one or two swings at each other. The issue ends with Hulk in an emperor pose with one hand extended asking the crowd for a thumbs up or thumbs down in relation to whether they live or die. Finally, the Sentry decides to do something when he sees this on the television and promptly flies off from his home to stop the Hulk.

The Sentry thing was another poorly conceived piece. As far as I know, he never had agorophobia, the fear of experiencing difficult or embarrassing situations the person cannot escape from, before WWH. He primarily refrained from action simply because he did not want to risk the Void being unleashed or losing control of his powers. I suppose that could be related to agorophobia, but it is not really the same thing. He has always, up til now, been able to leave his home or Avengers Tower or where ever he may be to go help out. It was more of a using the power once he got there that he had difficulty doing. I have no problem with them making Sentry sit out for a final showdown with Hulk to end this event, but at least try to keep the reasons for doing so within the established pyschosis of the character.

As I said when I started this rather lengthy review, this issue just did not live up to the hype. Maybe I am just tired of Hulk smashing people every issue and was looking for more substance. Maybe Green Lantern's Sinestro Corps War has spoiled me with its high octane action AND excellent story and character developments while World War Hulk did not deliver on the one thing it promised. Either way, the issue was okay, just not nearly as much fun as earlier parts.



COUNTDOWN TO MYSTERY #1
Written by Steve Gerber and Matt Sturges
Art by Justiniano & Walden Wong and Stephen Segovia

This was a strong start to another Countdown tie-in. If only Countdown itself would learn from these mini-series tie-ins. Each one seems to offer more story and development than the actual series that spawned them.

First, I would like to say I have never been a big fan of magic-based characters in comics, but decided to give this issue a try based on the exquisit cover and, hopefully, a more fleshed out story related to the faltering Countdown. I was not disappointed in either regard. The first half of this issue is devoted to the return of Dr Fate. My only real complaint was with the pacing of this issue. Far too much of the issue is spent catching readers up to date on the previous history of Dr Fate and magic in the DCU. This would have worked much better if they had broken it up over a couple issues, intersperced with more action or non-history segments. As it was, I felt like I was reading a text book instead of a comic book for most of the Fate half of the book. However, it did the job and that ending with the splash page transformation into Dr Fate was more than enough to entice me to come back for more of this story next month. With the backstory taken care of and the helmet in our new hero's hands, this story should really take off next month and I expect big things.

The Eclipso side of things was kind of the opposite to Fate's half. Mostly action or random dialogue and little explanation of things. It served its purpose though, as I am curious to find out how Eclipso returned from space, how this syncs up with her appearance in Blue Beetle and ESPECIALLY with that last splash page with Darkseid claiming to have created the Eclipso entity.

While not the best issue this week, it definitely enticed me enough to want to come back next month and find out more about each half of this double header issue. The only problem with this issue might be readers' reluctance to pick up a more expensive issue if they are only interested in one part of the story, much like the problem Countdown to Adventure faces with its dual story nature. With this issue though, I'd wager it was one of the strongest Countdown tie-in mini's so far, so it isn't as big an issue in my opinion. Take a chance on this issue, more than likely you will enjoy at least one of the stories.


CHECKMATE #18 Written by Greg Rucka
Art by Joe Bennett & Jack Jadson

Well, I said I was going to give Checkmate a few more issues to pull up its socks and it delivered in spades with this issue. I almost feel bad for having considered dropping this book before I read the first part of The Fall of the Wall.

There was a lot of stuff happening this issue and not once did I ever feel overwhelmed. The pacing was perfect and the various plotpoints dove tailed into each other quite nicely. I'm actually really excited about Checkmate again for the first time in months. Waller's Suicide Squad started off by picking up a drunk and depressed Scandal. It was a nice touch having Scandal's appearance this issue reflect Knockout's death in the last Birds of Prey issue.

Thinker looks like he might be starting to resent his position as Mr Terrific's glorified walking PDA in this issue and I'm curious as to whether it will be further explored.

I don't get to really say this enough, but I love August General in Irons. I just like saying his name out loud. It just never gets old for some reason. I love his look as well and consider him one of the best new characters in a long time. I'm glad to see him getting more use since 52 in this series and he is the only reason I will be picking up The Great Ten miniseries when it comes out. Glad to see him getting more use in Checkmate and this issue makes it look like he will be playing an even bigger role in the future.

The big development on the Waller black ops side is her arranging the hit on the Black Knight, with the use of Deadshot, during an op with Black Queen. This mirrors the beginning issues of this book when Black Queen lost her original Knight and I wonder if this was Waller sending a message to her. I was a little disappointed with BQ's behaviour though. She knows a sniper shot was fired and sees her friend down, yet continues running towards her like a normal, untrained civilian instead of the leader of one of the world's biggest covert ops organization's field unit.

All these big developments lead to the end of the issue with the Martian Manhunter revealed as a duplicate of the Black King. It was a nice splash page that most already know about, but still a great ending to a great issue. Hopefully they do not feel the need to do a needless crossover with the Outsiders again now that Manhunter is on that team as well.

Things are looking very good for this book and this issue should be a great jumping on point for anyone interested in an excellent mix of action, espionage and politics all grounded in the superhero based DCU. Glad to see this book back on track and can't wait for the next issue.


TALES OF THE SINESTRO CORPS PRESENTS PARALLAX #1
Written by Ron Marz
Art by Adriana Melo & Marlo Alquiza

Well, my fears have been answered by DC, the DiDio Corps. Johns' had an excellent and compelling storyline going with no horrible cash-in attempts made on it when it started. Then came the excellent Sinestro Corps War Special and DC saw how well received this event was and had to rush some tie-ins out the door to bleed its few loyal readers dry.

This Parallax issue is complete filler. Nothing of importance happens. It will never be referenced in the main storyline and it will add nothing to the overall story. Save yourself the money and just ignore it and pretend this issue never happened.

The story basically consisted of Kyle Rayner in a room whining about being trapped in his own mind until the Parallax entity shows up. Then we get a 'fight' scene between the two which just has Parallax bragging about taking control and killing people with Kyle's body, much like he did to Hal back when Coast City was destroyed. That's the entire issue. At the very end, Kyle resolves to fight back against Parallax and we are back where we started.

Ignore this issue. Complete dud. The Cyborg Superman special at least looks like it could be good and I believe Johns is writing the Anti-Monitor / Superman Prime one, so that will be excellent. This Parallax one was a complete joke though. They should have just did a retelling of Rebirth and everything the Parallax entity has been responsible for since Coast City. At least that would have helped new readers understand what Parallax is since Johns retconned Hal's destruction of the Corps.


GREEN ARROW AND BLACK CANARY WEDDING SPECIAL #1
Written by Judd Winick
Art by Amanda Conner

This was a fun, if cliched, wedding issue with an extremely shocking final page. It does an excellent job of summing up the history both characters have with each other and the events leading up to the marriage, like the bachelor party seen in the JLA Wedding Special and the bachelorette party in Countdown.

My only complaint is the super-villains-crashing-wedding cliche that they used. Deathstroke is smart and a master tactician. I know he has a grudge with Green Arrow, but even he would have avoided this wedding at all costs and why any other villains would sign up to crash this wedding, which is attended by dozens of the biggest heroes on the planet, makes little sense. They could have had a nice wedding for these two characters that have so much shared history, dating back to the Silver Age. The shock ending would have worked just as well without the wedding crashers and that is really my only complaint with the issue.

Despite that, the book does what it set out to do and was highly enjoyable. The scenes with Ollie begging for sex and Canary denying it, wanting to wait for marriage, were hilarious and despite Ollie's protests that they've done it many times before and saving it for marriage now won't exactly make a difference, Canary still holds out on him. The reactions to the various heroes receiving the wedding invitations are gold, especially Batman's at the end.

The shock ending features the apparent death, again, of Green Arrow. When Canary comes into the bedroom, Ollie seems to go robotic-like and tries to kill her. Fighting for her life, Canary stabs him in the neck with an arrow, apparently killing him. It came out of no where, but most people had speculated he might die since he had not appeared in solicits or on any covers of the Green Arrow / Black Canary series launching soon. My guess is that Deathstroke replaced him with a double or something similar. Hard to say at this point, but after bringing him back from the dead once, I doubt they would go to the trouble of killing him off again, especially after all these wedding specials they've released.

Good, fun issue. Just turn the brain off for a bit and enjoy this entertaining issue for what it is.
