With young releases this hebdomad include alternate - universeStar Treks , the end of Superman ’s vocation and Obama fighting zombies and aliens , it ’s a jam-packed week . But , really ? Our attention is focalize on the debut of the oversized weekly anthologyWednesday Comics .
It ’s unfair , really . Even if you ignore the dual Obama - bandwagon - jump of President Evil and Drafted : One Hundred Days ( scar the president against zombie and foreigner , severally ) , there ’s a great deal to look for in stores this week .
Marvel focalise on intimate faces with its Marvel seventieth day of remembrance anthology , newUncanny X - hands : First Class retro series , Dark X - Men : The Beginning franchise redo and Hulk : Broken Worlds parallel - gullible - swell collection .
IDW does the same with aGI Joe : Best Of violent storm Shadow anthology . And a collection of the alternative history “ what if the Klingons fucked everything up ” history , Star Trek : The Next coevals – The Last Generation .
DC , meanwhile , make a great drama for winning the week even before you get to Wednesday . For one thing , there ’s Jeff Lemire’sThe Nobody(which we reviewed last week ) . There ’s also a collection of the late twirl - off risible from NBC ’s Chuck , a re - issue for the oversized ( and surplus - paged ) edition ofDC : The New Frontierand a specially - price ( $ 1 ) raw edition of the first issue from Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely ’s wonderfulAll - Star Superman .
Plus , of course , there ’s the fresh deluxe hardcover Superman : Whatever Happened To The Man of Tomorrow , which collects all of Watchmen and V For Vendetta writer Alan Moore ’s work on the Man of Steel under one set of hardcovers for the first metre .
The only contest for that line - up follow from Dark Horse , who ’s releasing a big hardcover version of horror comic Pixu : The Mark of Evil by indie sweethearts Becky Cloonan , Vasilis Lolos , Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba ( Consider it highly recommended ) .
But , still . Wednesday Comics has our attention and our inwardness – A weekly 12 - issue series of oversized strips by some of comics ’ best cartoonists , star some of DC ’s best get laid characters ( and some lesser - known but equally awesome – Adam Strange ? The Metal Men ? ) , it has the potential to be either the kind of funny that prompt you of the sensitive ’s potential , or a awful carwreck . But either way , we ’d be first in line to pick it up . Just the thought of image Paul Pope , Karl Kerschl , Eduardo Risso and Ryan Sook graphics at that sizing in the first blank space makes our fannish heart go all a - flutter , never mind write from Kurt Busiek , Neil Gaiman , Walt Simonson and many , many more .
Whether it ’s hebdomadal proof that comics can daze and entertain or find out the drawing card of the free human beings shoot aliens in the head , consideryour local comic storethe place to be tomorrow … and if none of the above sounds your conniption , set your peepers onthis week ’s Diamond Distributors Shipping List , Daddio , to see what else you nerveless kat could be reading . Just do n’t bother us ; we ’re locomote to be wonder whether we should frame some of that gorgeous newspaper - size of it Wednesday work …
