What if Lewis and Clark were doing a lot more than just mapping the Louisiana Purchase? What if they were, in fact, hunting monsters? That’s the premise behind the oddly compelling Manifest Destiny, and we’ve got a full review. Plus reviews of books from DC, Marvel, Image, Dark Horse, Valiant, Titan, Aspen, and Dynamite, in our weekly comics roundup.
Manifest Destiny is an odd book, and it takes a little while to warm up. But there’s lots to love in Chris Dingess’ script about a bunch of men with no families in the middle of uncharted territory. It turns out Lewis and Clark aren’t quite sure what’s going on… and then we find out, in about the most dramatic way possible. Matthew Roberts, meanwhile, has some lovely art, striking a good balance between realism and fantasy to make the book credible. It’s a hoot, and well worth getting in on the ground floor for.
So, what else is good this week? Read on…
<!–pagetitle:Injustice: Gods Among Us Annual #1–>
If you grew up reading comics in the ’90s, you’ve probably got a certain fondness for Lobo. And this annaul is designed to play off that fondness for all it’s worth. Tom Taylor and Xermanico take full advantage of the Injustice universe to have a lot of fun with the Main Man, and it’s to the book’s credit that this is simultaneously a hilarious Lobo yarn while fitting into the plot of the game. If you’re a Lobo fan, pick this up.
<!–pagetitle:Marvel Knights: X-Men #1–>
Brahm Revel is a talented artist and writer, but there’s not really much to this story. It’s a pretty typical setup; the X-Men are looking for some mutants in a small town, and we all know how that goes for them. Still, a fun read, and a hint that there’s more to Revel than just ‘Nam-fightin’ gorillas.
<!–pagetitle:Cataclysm: Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1–>
Not a bad story, but it mostly serves as a refresher for those who haven’t been following the Ultimate books. If that’s you, it’s a useful issue, but if not, there’s nothing here you need.
<!–pagetitle:Unity #1–>
Oh, this will not end well. Unity is Valiant paying off the buildup in X-O Manowar with Matt Kindt showing that messing with a Dacian in power armor is a terrible idea, something Harada learns the hard way. It also marks the return of Ninjak, which is almost worth the price of entry just by itself. Doug Braithwaite’s art feels a little soft and lacking in detail for the action in this book, but that’s a minor complaint; it’s a lot of fun, and well worth picking up.
<!–pagetitle:Wraith #1–>
Joe Hill and C.P. Williams III, the team behind Locke and Key, have a new book on the stands, based off his novel NOS4A2. Let’s just say that it’s every bit as creepy as you might think, although it’s more of an illustrated short story than anything else. Still, if you liked Locke and Key or want a horror book to read, this will fit the bill nicely. Here’s the opening few pages, to get a better sense of the book.
<!–pagetitle:All-New Soulfire #1–>
This book about a future where magic and science coexist rather uneasily, from J.T. Krul and V. Marion, is actually fairly interesting, but it doesn’t do quite enough with the concept in its first issue, fun though it is. On the other hand, it also costs a buck, so if that’s the sweet spot for you, I’ve bought worse comics for a dollar.
<!–pagetitle:Clown Fatale #1–>
Apparently, somebody snuck a Zenscape book into Dark Horse’s review stack for this week, because for the life of me, I can’t figure out why Dark Horse would publish this book. The basic thrust of it is that a bunch of hot women in skimpy clothes who can beat people up and are also clowns, because it needs a gimmick to stand out from all the other books like this.
It’s the kind of book where the exposition is laid over the cast walking around in their underwear and/or topless. And there’s an attempted rape scene. Because of course there is. Victor Gischler, the writer, basically decides all he has to do is say “clown” a lot and the book is automatically forgiven all the cliches. Maurizio Rosenzweig is a talented artist, or at least talented enough to do what the script asks of him, but honestly, there’s no reason to pick this one up. Here’s a preview to see what I mean.
<!–pagetitle:Noir #1–>
A bit of a generic title, but Gischler does a much better job on this book, writing a fun slice of pulp starring the Shadow and the Black Sparrow that’s just zippy enough to be a fun read. Not essential reading, although Andrea Mutti’s art is quite well-done, but worth picking up if you’re a fan of pulps.
<!–pagetitle:Protocol: Orphans #1–>
This is aimed pretty squarely at fans of espionage comics, and it’s more interesting for the back story than it is for the somewhat generic plot from Michael Alan Nelson, involving bombs at sporting events and the like. Mariano Navarro’s art has a nice cartoony feel to it that keeps this book from feeling overly dour. Worth it for espionage and action fans.
<!–pagetitle:Umbral #1–>
This fantasy comic from Antony Johnson and Christopher Mitten has some vivid art, and it’s not a bad hook for a story, about only thieves knowing the threat to a kingdom. But fantasy worlds thrive on details, and this book has too much to establish to really get that rich, lived-in feel of a world that makes a great fantasy comic. It’s got considerable promise, though, so I’d keep an eye on this one.
<!–pagetitle:Superman/Wonder Woman #2–>
With its second issue, Charles Soule and Tony Daniel bring this book into focus, but it’s probably going to be a bit controversial. Wonder Woman’s big achievement, this issue, is getting beaten up; this is more a Superman book than a Wonder Woman book, this issue, and the comic really needs to strike a better balance between the two characters.
That said, Superman getting zapped by Apollo was pretty funny. If for no other reason than Apollo deserves what comes next.
<!–pagetitle:Coffin Hill #2–>
Caitlin Kittridge and Inaki Miranda continue their horror/police procedural, and honestly, this book needs to pick up the pace. The exact nature of the threat in this book is vague and unclear, and the book ends on a “cliffhanger” that doesn’t really work. It’s not bad, but it needs a bit more verve and a bit more style to stand out.
<!–pagetitle:S.H.O.O.T. First #2–>
The world’s first squad of rationalist superheroes continues their mission to kill stuff pretending to be demons and angels. Justin Aclin actually does a highly entertaining job of mixing over-the-top, Doom Patrol-esque superheroics with a struggle with the loss of religious faith, not to mention the soap opera that defines any superhero team. Nicolás Daniel Selma delivers fun, clean, action-heavy art. In short, it’s fun, it’s zippy, and it’s surprisingly thoughtful; a must-buy for this week. If my word won’t do it, Dark Horse has a preview available.
<!–pagetitle:Bloodhound: Crowbar Medicine #2–>
Dan Jolley and Leonard Kirk continue the latest Bloodhound miniseries, about Travis Clevenger trying to find somebody who has created a chip that gives anyone superpowers. It’s a problem complicated substantially by the military, a vigilante, and Clevenger’s own stubbornness. This is a fun take on superheroics, not least because Jolley can write a good mystery; nothing is what it seems, here. Highly recommended, and here’s a preview to see for yourself why.
<!–pagetitle:Shaolin Cowboy #2–>
This book is literally thirty-three pages of zombies getting chopped up by a chainsaw. Pretty, because it’s Geoff Darrow, but, yeah, no plot, no dialogue, it’s basically the Shaolin Cowboy Zombie-Slicing Art Book. So, yeah, your call.
<!–pagetitle:Star Trek: Khan #2–>
The story of Khan in the reboot universe has few surprises so far. It’s fun to read, if you’re a Trekkie like me, but if not, you’re not missing much.
<!–pagetitle:Afterlife with Archie #2–>
Robert Aguire-Sacasa and Francesco Francavilla follow up a strong first issue with an even better second one. This book is clever in how it juggles Archie tropes with a straight-up zombie story; it’s tartly funny and far better than the title would tell you. Highly recommended.
<!–pagetitle:Three #2–>
Kieron Gillen’s deconstruction of the… overly glowing view taken of the Spartans historically continues. This issue is largely backstory, but it’s got some vividly rendered characters and ends on a very dark note; the Helots on the run are about to have a very bad time. Worth reading, especially for classics nerds and fans of historical fiction.
<!–pagetitle:Resident Alien: The Suicide Blonde #3–>
Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse wrap up this miniseries with a sad, contemplative ending about suicide and the damage it leaves behind. It’s a low-key end to this mystery story, but it’s an interesting one, and Hogan’s compassion really makes it something special. And, of course, it ends on a cliffhanger; if you’re curious to take a look, Dark Horse has a preview.
<!–pagetitle:Rocketeer/Spirit: Pulp Friction #3–>
Mark Waid and J. Bone deliver a note perfect story that fits the style and, forgive the pun, spirit of both characters like a glove. Funny, snappy, and clever, this issue features a twist that would make Eisner chuckle. Highly recommended.
<!–pagetitle:The Other Dead #3–>
I still have my problems with this book; Qing Ping Mui is a little too attached to his sometimes clumsy layouts. I have to balance that, however, with the fact that this is a book with a zombie squirrel attack. If the words “zombie squirrel attack” make you giggle, buy this.
<!–pagetitle:It Came! #4–>
Dan Boultwood’s goofy parody of bad British SF movies comes to a close. And if you love old, badly made movies, it’s a joyous one worth getting. Don’t worry about the previous three issues; the book’s intentionally written to be picked up. And if you’re uncertain, Titan was good enough to pass along a preview for your delectation…
<!–pagetitle:X #7–>
This issue smartly takes the focus of X and puts it on a set of honest cops tasked with finding him. If that sounds problematic, for everyone involved, you’d be right. This book has improved substantially over the issues and this is a great point to jump on. Dark Horse has a preview, if you’re curious to sample the goods.
<!–pagetitle:Abe Sapien #7–>
A book that has been quiet and contemplative gets frantic in a hurry in this issue. This book has been a character study of Abe, to this point, but the action scene that closes this issue ties into the overall message of the book, and Sebastián Fiumara’s art always makes this book great. As you may have guessed, Dark Horse has a preview to look over.
<!–pagetitle:Justice League Of America #9–>
Matt Kindt’s run on this book continues to be engaging and fun. The theme of going down circle by circle through personal Hells is not exactly a subtle one, but hell, this is the Justice League; you go big or you go home, and Kindt writes superheroes losing their minds surprisingly well. And his characterization of Stargirl will make you wish she had her own book; definitely worth picking up, whether you’re following Forever Evil or not.
<!–pagetitle:Star Wars #11–>
Brian Wood’s superb take on Star Wars continues, and you need to buy it. I know I rave about this book month in and month out, but it’s really that good. Don’t believe me? Here’s a preview.
<!–pagetitle:Archer And Armstrong #15–>
Archer and Armstrong have had a bro-breakup over a woman. What’s a gigantic superstrong immortal to do? Go drinking across the span of time, of course! Armstrong goes on a carouse with his recently discovered brother, hopping across the timestream, and generally making a drunken ass out of himself. And it’s hilarious, as always with Fred Van Lente. Valiant’s passed along a preview of the greatest bar crawl in history to help you decide for yourself.
<!–pagetitle:Harbinger #18–>
Harbinger is one of Valiant’s best books, and Joshua Dysart’s take on the superteam continues to be the highlight of every month. This issue mixes Peter’s “perfect day” with last issue’s goofy “Torquehalla” setting, and the result is a book that’s simultaneously touching and hilarious. You really wish Peter, our nominal hero, could have a normal life, just for a while. Valiant sent along a preview, but consider picking this book up; it’s a blast.
<!–pagetitle:Batman #25–>
Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo bring back a classic Batman villain, and this issue ends on a great twist. Also, there’s the proto-Batmobile. Really, if you love Batman, you need to read all of Zero Year, but pick this issue up, either way.
