The P.O.W - 1/13/21 - KING IN BLACK: THUNDERBOLTS #1 / FUTURE STATE: JUSTICE LEAGUE#1 / HAHA #1

PICKS OF THE WEEK – Jan. 13, 2021:

KING IN BLACK: THUNDERBOLTS #1: The Thunderbolts are back and just in time to save the world, or at least their benefactor, from certain doom. As Knull, God of the symbiotes, makes his assault on Earth, The Kingpin assembles a rag tag group of mischievous miscreants to recreate the Thunderbolts, to clear their names, become heroes, and do the bidding of the one and only, Wilson Fisk. Marvel’s answer to the Suicide Squad keeps pace as this rag tag group of wannabe heroes makes their way through sludge filled New York trying to meet their mission. Writer Matthew Rosenberg brings some gallows humor to the fray as Taskmaster leads the group, with Star as their powerhouse, and breakout character of the series, Mr. Fear, bringing up the rear as the wild car; giving the Joker himself a run for his money as comics’ murderous madman of the year. Artist Juan Ferreyra captures the macabre and sinister undertones of the book with red skies looming overhead and grim displays of Knull’s terror creeping though panel after panel. This mini-series is not be missed if you’ve been following the King in Black event and is a great off shoot to the epic storytelling going on in the main title. Hopefully this title survives not only the event but beyond to give us some dark humor going forward as these former villains find their way on the road to redemption…if they can survive the night.

FUTURE STATE: JUSTICE LEAGUE #1: It’s two for the price of one with this book as you get the new, improved Justice league for one half of the book and the remnants of the Justice League Dark in the back. It’s well worth the six-dollar price tag for a double dose of super heroics and twists abound in this star-studded title from DC’s new Future State line. Writer Joshua Williamson and Artist Robson Rocha tackle the first big team book featuring the new League and not only does it show them kicking ass but also them adjusting to the new rules of no fraternizing outside of missions with other members. Used for their own safety in case of a double cross, this added social hinderance adds a different dynamic to the team looking out for each other. But, never knowing who is under the mask, as well as their own desires to dig deeper with their fellow teammates adds complications and blurred lines. Rocha’s art pumps new blood into the league and when the action begins to square off he really shines. The end of this side of the story delivers a fantastic cliffhanger that will have you itching for the next issue with a call back to JLA lore you won’t see coming.
As for the backup story, things look even bleaker right off the bat for the JLD as Zatanna and Detective Chimp are on the run in the desert as Merlin and his hordes have infiltrated and taken over the lands for his own nefarious needs. They seek out some supernatural safety with Etrigan and some other Power players of the JLD to make one last stand against this master of magic. Writer Ram V knows how to pace a story and keep it moving as the team moves to stay one step ahead from certain death. Marcio Takara’s Art mixed with Marcelo Maiolo’s colors add that sense of dread and despair to what the world has become extremely well. Dark isn’t in the title just for kicks, and they make sure of that as our heroes cast spell after spell to get out of Dodge fast. Familiar faces pop up with a great reveal at the end that helps make this whole issue something worth the double price tag and pays out in spades for satisfaction.

HAHA #1: Maxwell Prince has put another series on the map for image and it is everything and nothing of what you would expect from his twisted temperance, only this time with clowns. Set up as an anthology, much like Ice Cream Man, each issue is to be a stand-alone about the lives of clowns. This issue in particular takes place on the last day of clowning for the luckiest guy in the world, Bart, as the amusement park he works at shuts down and he is turned loose on the world with nothing in his pocket but dreams. But that won’t dampen his spirits, no sirree, no matter what bad things decide to uproot his life all at once. But that is Prince’s charm in all of this, to keep hammering the hits until you can’t take it anymore. But, he tries something new with all of this…hope, albeit even just a glimmer of it. We’ll see how long it goes for the rest of the series but there is a sort of strange silver lining running through the book. Vanesa Del Rey’s pencils combined with Chris O’Halloran’s pastel palette of colors bring the whole thing to life and shine. For fans of Prince’s other works or, the Todd Phillip’s Joker movie that came out last year, this is a perfect sort of companion piece if these types of media spoke to you and, if you just the type of person to laugh through all the tears, pick up HAHA before it’s gone.

The P.O.W - 1/6/21 - STAR WARS: THE HIGH REPUBLIC #1 / FUTURE STATE: WONDER WOMAN #1 / ETERNALS #1

PICKS OF THE WEEK – Jan. 6, 2021:

STAR WARS: THE HIGH REPUBLIC #1: Disney and Marvel’s hotly anticipated ‘High Republic’ line of books and media starts with this blockbuster issue from the House of Ideas. Writer Cavan Scott starts off with a bang in the height of the old republic as light shines through the galaxy and the Jedi reign supreme, protecting and guiding the galaxy through a period of peace and prosperity. Padawan Keeve Trennis is training on a remote planet fulfilling her final test to see if she is worthy of the title master, until unforeseen circumstances take place and forces Keeve has to put all her training on display in front of her master. This issue sets the stage for the story arcs to come with main characters, space stations, and even a cameo from everyone’s favorite Jedi, as we learn the origins of the Jedi order. Ario Anindito’s art is swift and thorough, with cool designs and motifs to show the difference of the franchise’s sleek and broken-down ambience of the original movies to a more refined and detailed galaxy that proceeded it. A special shout out to colorist Annalisa Leoni who makes this issue absolutely pop with color and wonder, especially in one particular scene involving the force. For fans of all things Star Wars and those who want even more Jedi in their pull pick this up as fast as you can.

FUTURE STATE: WONDER WOMAN #1: For all the new Future state titles rolled out by DC Comics, this one may surprise you, but, it is such a delight, such a joy, and for lack of a better word, such a wonder it makes the Pick of the week. Yara Flor the new Wonder Woman of the not too distant future and shows off her heroism as she debuts slaying a hydra heading into the underworld to save her sister. Joelle Jones does double duty on this title by being both writer and artist for the introduction of DC’s new super heroine. Her pencils are as gorgeous as Yara, blending magic, might and morbidity to paint a beautiful picture. But what really sets Yara and this book apart from all the rest is oddly enough, humor. Yara Flor has a big brash personality and is the not the same stoic Wonder Woman Diana is. She is way more human and is a joy to watch figure out problems with not always the smartest or kindest means. This does not mean that she has bad intentions, but has an ability to grow, and to see her deal with her issues whether small or large in this way is refreshing and adds a good commentary both internally and externally for the character. This is the title from Future State that will take you by surprise and by storm, and will probably cause Yara to stick around longer than anyone could have anticipated.

ETERNALS #1: Marvel’s newest take on the Eternals is in the right hands of writer Kieron Gillen and artist Esad Ribic as they take the children of the Celestials and reinterprets them for the modern Era. De facto leader of the group, Ikaris, wakes up from hibernation learning that all of the Eternals have died in a catastrophe against each other. When he comes to, he realizes he is the last to wake up as he heads out into the world looking for answers. What he soon finds out is that one of their own has been swiftly murdered and thus sets him the trail to solve the mystery before it’s too late. That’s basically the plot in the nutshell but, what Gillen has in store seems to be a universe spanning story bringing in everyone from the Marvel universe while building his own mythology at the same time. Gillen takes a hint from Jonathan Hickman with charts and hierarchies of how many Eternals there are and sheds light onto their purpose. He seems to be laying the groundwork for big things coming and with the gorgeous, dreamlike artwork of Ribic driving the story home and giving the book a grandiose sense of wonder and scale this book looks to be hitting a high point for Marvel this year and just in time for the when the hotly anticipated Eternals movie finally rolls out. If the you’re a fan of the current X-line of books and love a good mystery than check this series out to get your fantastic fix of monsters, myth and above all else, Marvel.
