This Week’s Comics – September 2nd, 2015

This Week’s Comics is the pull list of Comic Books recommended by Hush Comics, with notes and suggestions by co-owner, Sherif Elkhatib.

Recommendations:

Plutona #1: A new Jeff Lemire book? Yes, that’s all you need to know.

Miracleman by Gaiman and Buckingham #1: This character has had a good resurgence as of late, but getting Sandman creator Neil Gaiman back in the game is worth the price of admission alone here.

Deadpool vs. Thanos #1: Deadpool has versused everybody in the Marvel U, but can he stand up to Thanos? Probably not, but I bet he can annoy the shit out of him.

This Week’s Comics – August 26th, 2015

This Week’s Comics is the pull list of Comic Books recommended by Hush Comics, with notes and suggestions by co-owner, Sherif Elkhatib.

Recommendations:

Drive #1: It looks like IDW’s licensing isn’t limited to just 80’s cartoons. Ryan Gosling’s 2011 pulp film is also getting a comic book adaptation. I’m not sure how well this will translate, but I’m interested enough to give it a try.

Prez #3: I’m not sure why nobody else is reading this. The political commentary is spot-on, to the point where I’m not sure writer Joe Simon shouldn’t run for office. By the way, the writer of Prez is THE Joe Simon – the creator of Captain America.

Deadpool’s Secret Secret Wars #4: This mini-series has been fun, and I’m a little sad to see it end. However, the overall significance of this ending is much greater. It means that this super-saturated bullshit Secret Wars saga is almost over. I’m ready for something “All-New All-Different” because I don’t know how many more sub-par retcons of retcons I can take.

This Week’s Comics – August 12th, 2015

This Week’s Comics is the pull list of Comic Books recommended by Hush Comics, with notes and suggestions by co-owner, Sherif Elkhatib.

Recommendations:

DC Comics Bombshells #1: DC Collectibles’ signature line of statues makes its debut as an digital-first weekly series. The story looks to fit the vintage art style. I’m sure it will be a bit more “cutesy” than anything else, so don’t pick it up with the intention of reading something revolutionary.

X-Files: Season 11 #1: The X-Files comic book returns after a couple month hiatus. Our writer Jacob really loves this series and cites it as being a solid continuation to the TV show. This season starts with Mulder being a fugitive on the run.

The Walking Dead #145: In the last issue of TWD, things got really real. The leader of the Whisperers, Alpha, has just crossed the line with Rick Grimes, and judging by the cover, I’d say Rick is not going to take this lying down. Good. Rick has turned into quite the tranquil character since the time jump. Negan’s gotta play into this, somehow.

This Week’s Comics – August 5th, 2015

This Week’s Comics is the pull list of Comic Books recommended by Hush Comics, with notes and suggestions by co-owner, Sherif Elkhatib.

Recommendations:

Dark Corridor #1: A town ruled by the mob starts seeing its leaders murdered one by one, hunted down by unknown female assassins. At first glance, it sounds like Sin City‘s Old Town. All creative duties are being handled by Rich Tommaso (8-1/2 Ghosts), and it’s toted as being Goodfellas with a Tarantino twist.

Red Sonja/Conan #1: This team-up incites some real 80’s nostalgia! The Barbarian and She-Devil are together again for the first time since …Conan/Red Sonja earlier this year. I’m usually weary of Dynamite’s franchised books, but the art looks well-done and this is a crossover that actually makes sense.

Giant-Sized Little Marvel: AvX #3: This cute as hell story has been tugging at my heartstrings for months. It can come across a bit formulaic at times, but there is so much cute packed into each issue that I don’t care. There are clever self-aware comments, gigantic detailed fight scenes and, above all, adorably-rendered versions of your favorite Marvel characters.

This Week’s Comics – July 22nd, 2015

This Week’s Comics is the pull list of Comic Books recommended by Hush Comics, with notes and suggestions by co-owner, Sherif Elkhatib.

Recommendations:

Cyborg #1: Since the New52 relaunch, Cyborg has been, for lack of a better word, upgraded. He’s a member of the Justice League now, joining the big kids table. Now, he’s graduated to a new suit, that looks somewhere between his original Teen Titan suit and Frieza from Dragon Ball Z. The story follows his journey through android puberty, where he’s going through changes his body can’t understand. Oh, teenagers.

Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde #1: Let the awkward relationship begin! Peter Quill and Kitty are starting their very own Battleworld adventures together. Their displacement into the new world seems to be far from the space adventures Star-Lord and the X-Men led in the Black Vortex storyline, which I think makes the book more interesting. Let’s see these two lovebirds in action together!

Wolf #1: We’ve all read werewolf books before, so what sets Wolf apart? The six-part miniseries by Cullen Bunn (who also wrote Vertigo’s Wolf Moon – not a promising start…) is pencilled by Jeremy Haun (Berserker) and colored by Deadly Class‘ Lee Loughridge. Okay, so the real selling point here is Loughridge. However, if Bunn can learn from what made Wolf Moon ending up sucking, then Wolf can be a fun series.

This Week’s Comics is the pull list of Comic Books recommended by Hush Comics, with notes and suggestions by co-owner, Sherif Elkhatib.

Recommendations:

Dr. Fate #2: This book was amazing. There’s great art and a solid story – not to mention lots of Egyptian mythology. I’m ready for this second issue!

Godzilla in Hell #1: Pretty much, why the hell not?

Hawkeye #22: This is the Kumbaya, the swan song, the grand finale to Matt Fraction and David Aja’s Hawkeye run. It’s been an amazing run, and the last issue leads to an epic showdown between Hawkeyes and the Bros. It’s on, motherf*cker!

Siege #1: I would normally skip out on this title, but since Kieron Gillen’s name is attached to it, I will bite. The premise I got from this is that The Shield is where all the nasty things go (Zombies, Murderbots, etc) to try to break in to normal society. I got my fingers crossed for pure carnage.

This Week’s Comics – July 8th, 2015

This Week’s Comics is the pull list of Comic Books recommended by Hush Comics, with notes and suggestions by co-owner, Sherif Elkhatib.

Recommendations:

Archie #1: Disclaimer here: I’ve never read an Archie book. There’s a reason the series has lasted over 75 years, right? This reboot is big news, and not just because it’s a chance to start anew with one of the oldest (and still most relevant) characters not donning a cape. The creative team taking over for the new series is writer Mark Waid (Daredevil) and artist Fiona Staples (Saga). If that doesn’t excite you, then you may be a lost cause.

Invader Zim #1: Holy 90’s nostalgia factor, you guys! The Doom Song plays on repeat in my head as I do a little Gir gig around the house. Dib has forgone all hygiene to track Zim back down, and his sacrifice has been duly noted. Unlike all the other 90’s cartoons, which have flooded IDW’s catalog in the past couple years, Zim has found a home with ONI Press.

Star Trek/Green Lantern #1: So many months have passed from when this series was first announced that I forgot it was even coming out this soon. Crossovers, especially IDW crossovers, can be exceptionally crappy. However, if there are any two franchises that can blend together and pull it off, it’s these two intergalactic franchises. I’m especially curious to see how Captain Kirk and Hal Jordan get along since they are built off the same archetype (it looks like we’re getting movie reboot Star Trek).

1872 #1: If you loved the original 1602 like me, then you’re gonna lovin the most rootinest, tootinest time displacement storyline from Marvel – 1872. Sheriff Steve Rogers and Anthony Stark (drunkard Anthony Stark) rule over the town of Timely. This could very well suck, but it won’t matter. If we get some good art and Wild West style actions, it will be worth it.

This Week’s Comics – June 24th, 2015

This Week’s Comics is the pull list of Comic Books recommended by Hush Comics, with notes and suggestions by co-owner, Sherif Elkhatib.

Recommendations:

We Are Robin #1: Robin has become a symbol in the city of Gotham now that Batman is gone – well, our Batman. The youth of Gotham City have risen to the occasion and are protecting the streets on their own volition. It’s part Peter Pan and the Lost Kids with a dash of the Occupy movement, and a few parts Gotham Imposters. It could fall really flat, but there’s a chance that it could reach a whole new generation of teenage activists that comics just have not had lately.

E is for Extinction #1: Forgive me if I’m misreading this, but it seems like the idea of homo superior being “cool” and “marketable” is just too close to the real world – analogous to black culture and hip-hop trends. The X-Men franchise has always been great about generalizing Civil Rights movements, but the idea of making it “hip” to be a mutant is so unique. I’m sure putting it on a pedestal with the original Grant Morrison work will be a bad idea, so I’m just going to enjoy this new body of work as a separate entity – the fact that Morrison’s artist on Nameless, Chris Burnham, will be writing the story shows me that Marvel is taking a unique direction with it.

X-Men ’92 #1: Another great time in the golden age of the X-Men, this digital-first series is based on the X-Men: Animated Series. After reading the first couple chapters, I’m excited for this to come out in print format. It’s flooding with nostalgia; Scott and Logan are two powder-kegs of testosterone, Rogue and Gambit’s relationship is as complicated as can be, and Professor X is still keeping secrets. The story-telling isn’t revolutionary, but it’s pretty much everything you expected given the source material, and it’s incredibly true to its source material.

This Week’s Comics – June 17th, 2015

This Week’s Comics is the pull list of Comic Books recommended by Hush Comics, with notes and suggestions by co-owner, Sherif Elkhatib.

Recommendations:

Dr. Fate #1: Of all this week’s new DC books – there are a lot coming out – Dr. Fate is by far my most anticipated. The helm of Doctor Fate has been handed to a Brooklyn med school student, who must stop the Egyptian god Anubis from destroying the world. Egyptian god – check. Doctor Fate in a hoody – check. I’m down to read this one. When has DC ever let me down before?

Thors #1: It will be nice to finally figure out why the hell a legion of Thors now police the Marvel Universe. It’s been such a subliminal focus of all the Marvel books in Secret Wars. I’m interested to see not only who else in the Marvel U has become a Thor, but how this team fits in the overall scope of things, and what the dynamics are within that team.

Astronauts in Trouble #1: Before The Walking Dead, longtime artist Charlie Adlard got his start on this book. Originally published over 15 years ago, Volume One: Live on the Moon is about an eccentric millionaire, Ishmael Hayes, who goes on a mission to the moon and decides to claim it as him own. Dick move, Ishmael. I’ve never read Astronauts in Trouble, but Charlie Adlard’s name is now enough to sell me.

This Week’s Comics – June 10th, 2015

This Week’s Comics is the pull list of Comic Books recommended by Hush Comics, with notes and suggestions by co-owner, Sherif Elkhatib.

Recommendations:

Batman #41: The first week of DC “YOU” books ended up being pretty awesome, actually, so there’s absolutely no reason not to believe that Batman won’t continue with the trend. After Endgame wrapped Bruce Wayne’s chapter up in a sad little bow, this is a PERFECT jumping on point for new readers. Batman isn’t even going to be Bruce Wayne. I have, quite frankly, no idea what the hell to expect other than a robotic Batsuit and another great story by the best tag-team in comic books in Scott Snyder (Wytches, American Vampire) and Greg Capullo (Spawn).

1602 Witch Hunter Angela #1: Another one of Marvel’s “re-launched” past series, the Marvel 1602 series was a renaissance take on the heroes. In this new book, Angela and Searh are witch hunters for King James. It seems like a great fit for the Asgardian Assassin. I hope it’s not too full of exposition, but as long as there  is humor and action, there’s potential for this to be an enjoyable experience.

The Outlaws break up: For a loooong while there, the Red Hood & the Outlaws book was floundering – as was most of the rest of DC’s lineup. Arsenal was a total toolbag and Starfire was reduced to a sexual object. It was horrible; I’m surprised it lasted as long as it did. Seems like their break-up is just the revitalization they all needed, because this new Starfire book seems to be just the breath of fresh air it needed. Even though I don’t care for Harley Quinn, I can’t deny the impact that Palmiottti/Connor had on it’s popularity – hopefully, the same will happen for the new Starfire book. Red Hood/Arsenal? Not so much. It’s laid out almost like a Nicktoon… but I’m still more willing to give it a chance than I was with Red Hood & the Outlaws.
