‘Letter 44 #1’ And Other Comics Of Note, October 16th

What if the President of the United States, newly elected, picked up the letter from his predecessor and found out that aliens were not only real, they were in the asteroid belt building something? And there was already a mission to find out what happened? Charles Soule sets up an alien story you won’t want to miss, and we’ve got a full review, plus looks at books from DC, Marvel, Image, Dark Horse, Valiant, and Boom!

Letter 44 has a killer concept, so killer that it draws you in even though the first issue is mostly setup. We meet the new President, the astronauts, and find out that there’s a lot going on all at once. And needless to say, the situation isn’t as bad as it looks: It’s worse.

Albert Alberqueque’s art is a bit out of place; it’s a little too cartoony in places for a book with this much at stake right away, and he could use an inker, one thinks. But it’s a minor quibble, and a compelling story.

So that’s one for the sub pile, but what else is there? Here’s a look at what else is on the stands, and a few previews included for your delectation.

<!–pagetitle:Forever Evil: Rogues Rebellion #1–>

The Crime Syndicate tries to trash Central City after Grodd gets through with it, and the Rogues are having none of it. Brian Buccellato builds off his fun Rogues one-shot last month with a fun issue showing that, yeah, maybe you shouldn’t send a bunch of second-stringers to fight a supervillain team. Focused, funny, and engaging, this is worth getting in on the ground floor with.

<!–pagetitle:Incredible Hulk Special #1–>

Mike Costa and Jake Wyatt hand in a snappy, funny, romp with the Hulk, the original X-Men, the Superior Spider-Man, and a splash panel that’s an instant classic. Well worth picking up, and a demonstration of Costa at his best.

<!–pagetitle:S.H.O.O.T. First #1–>

An odd mix of superteam and Preacher, Justin Aclin’s book is off to a solid if a bit wordy start. Nicolás Daniel Selma’s art is a bit lacking in detail, but he pulls the story off well. All in all, a fun book with an interesting concept.

<!–pagetitle:Bloodhound: Crowbar Medicine #1–>

Don Jolley’s series deals with law enforcement and superpowers in a sharper, cleverer way than many books with the same idea, not least because he’s willing to depict characters as people. The bank robber this issue centers around isn’t a sneering villain, he’s somebody terrified and totally out of his depth. It’s a strong choice and it continues Dark Horse’s continuing trend of strong, well-written superhero books.

<!–pagetitle:I.M.A.G.I.N.E. Agents #1–>

Brian Joines and Bachan get this series off to a silly and imaginative start. The basic idea is that there’s a secret government agency keeping imaginary friends in line, since they happen to be real, and most of them are… less than pleasant in their off-hours. Joines’ script is cleverly thought out and Bachan really gets to go to town with the art, mixing everything from Harvey Comics-style art.

<!–pagetitle:THUNDER Agents #1: Hundred Penny Press Edition–>

This reprint of the original THUNDER Agents is, well, it’s of its time. But it costs only a buck and it’s an interesting look at comics history, and it has some truly gorgeous Silver Age art from Wally Wood and Reed Crandall. A must for comics historians and Silver Age fans.

<!–pagetitle:Star Trek: Khan #1–>

Mike Johnson, who regularly knocks it out of the park on IDW’s Trek books, takes on Khan Noonien Singh. OK, so it’s Khan Begins, but we’ve never seen Khan’s life story, and it’s fun to see Johnson fill in the blanks. David Messina and Claudia Balboni don’t really deliver any earthshaking art, but it helps the story flow and it’s a fun read. If you’re a fan of Trek, or just Mike Johnson’s work in it, it’s a must-buy.

<!–pagetitle:Zombie Tramp Vol. 2 #1–>

I have a standing policy where I’ll buy any number one I find on the shelves, no matter what it looks like, because you can be surprised. Comic books shouldn’t be judged by their covers alone; sometimes what seems like a dumb concept can be redeemed by clever writing or good art, in the case of a book like Pirate Eye.

Then there are books like this. Let’s say the cover tells you all you need to know.

<!–pagetitle:Trish Out Of Water #1–>

Then there’s this book, which mixes teenage drama with a pretty simple question Vince Hernandez asks: What happens to a normal teenage girl who doesn’t realize she’s got the power to control water? Guiseppe Cafaro’s art is a little too smooth for the concept, I think, although it’s pretty and well-rendered. Nonetheless, it’s a clever twist on the idea of the teen superhero and a lot of fun.

<!–pagetitle:Buzzkill #2–>

Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw take a strong start and run with it, mixing superheroics and addiction metaphors with alacrity. If you’re not reading this book, start: It’s one of the best superhero books on the stands.

<!–pagetitle:Baltimore: The Infernal Train #2–>

The Baltimore series of one-shots and minis continues with, well, basically a massive firefight between Baltimore, an insane and heavily armed priest, and piles of vampires. If that sounds awesome, yeah it is, especially with Ben Stenbeck on art. Well worth reading.

<!–pagetitle:Brain Boy #2–>

Fred Van Lente is on a real tear with this book; it mixes comedy, action, and ridiculous government intrigue in equal measure that’s a lot of fun. If you’re not reading it, pick it up; it’s a great argument for rebooting concepts.

<!–pagetitle:Numbercruncher #4–>

Simon Spurrier and P.J. Holden wrap up their mix of hard-edged gangsters and karmic bureaucracy in a finale that’s simultaneously hilarious and heart-breaking. This is comics at its greatest, and a jewel in Titan’s cap: If you can find all four issues on the stands, grab them. These are some of the best comics of the year. Here’s a preview, courtesy of Titan.

This series wraps up. It might be better in trade, but it just hasn’t really captured my imagination. Worth reading if you like the creative team, but nothing compelling beyond that.

<!–pagetitle:Trinity of Sin: Pandora #4–>

Ray Fawkes’ action series takes off here, to some degree. It’s a surprisingly engaging story as Pandora begins to figure out that she got totally screwed in more ways than one, and it ties into Forever Evil in clever ways. If you’re following Forever Evil, this is worth picking up.

<!–pagetitle:Justice League of America #8–>

We all know that the Justice League isn’t actually dead, but where the hell are they? This issue, from Matt Kindt, clears that question up. And Kindt’s answer is highly interesting, helped considerably by Doug Mahnke’s pencils, even if Mahnke has four different inkers to deal with. Well worth picking up, even if you don’t care about Forever Evil.

<!–pagetitle:Bloodshot And H.A.R.D. Corps #15–>

Bloodshot is rescued! Too bad that means he’s screwed! Christos Gage and Joshua Dysart are writing a fun and surprisingly complicated look at a group of people trying to do the right thing in the middle of two evils going to war. Get on board with this book; it’s action-packed and thoughtful in equal measure, and it’s worth reading. Here’s a preview Valiant sent along:

<!–pagetitle:X-O Manowar #18–>

The Russian army decides to pick a fight with Aric and his Dacians, and that goes… not the way you might expect. Robert Venditti continues to use this as a platform for exploring some interesting points: Volo, the Dacian challenging Aric for the throne, actually has some pretty good points. Points he proceeds to undermine completely, but good points nonetheless. And now Toyo Harada is in the mix, leading into Unity. An excellent issue from a smart superhero series.

<!–pagetitle:Conan The Barbarian #21–>

Brian Wood continues to be the best writer Dark Horse has, and the finale of this horror fantasy story is a blast. Highly recommended.

<!–pagetitle:Animal Man #24–>

This issue is both thrilling and heartwarming as only Jeff Lemire can really pull off, and Rafael Albuquerque is turning out to be an invaluable artist for this book; his work is simultaneously grotesque, stately, and beautiful. If this isn’t on your sub list, it’s past time to add it.

<!–pagetitle:Green Lantern: New Guardians #24–>

Lights Out continues and is, well, it’s a crossover. It’s a surprisingly zippy story, and Justin Jordan’s story fits seamlessly into the story so far, but if you’re trade-waiting this, there’s nothing here that you need to pick up.
