Comics fo' yo' face: Oct 28 '09

- So, the final issue of "Ignition City" hit the stands. Hilarity ensued.

- "The Incredible Hercules" #137 followed up with Amadeus Cho in his search for his sister. This episode reveals the truth about his parents' deaths. This issue also has a showdown of the minds and reminds me why I love this comic so much. Actually, I never forget why I read the comic.

- In other news, I finally caught up with "Agents of Atlas" in the latest issue/crossover "Agents of Atlas vs X-Men". After Jimmy Woo resolved the bad-ass dispute (where M-11 whupped a more advanced robot by using literal Muhammed Ali arrogance) between Atlas and the Jade Dragon, the group goes up against the X-Men on their brand-new home turf, Utopia. For those of you that don't know anything about Atlas, well, here is a one panel rundown:

Go read comics fo' yo' self now!

9/23/2009: Butt Kicking of the Fantastic!

So, let's take a peek at September 23rd's release list, shall we:

Fantastic Four

Guardians of the Galaxy

Incredible Hercules

Incredible Hulk

Invincible

Wow. So, we have "Fantastic Four" talking about hundreds of Reed Richards that end starvation for universes, kill Galactus during breakfast, and get party-crashed by Celestials; "Guardians of the Galaxy" with an elderly Starlord and infant Cosmo and Mantis; Amadeues Cho in "Incredible Hercules" flying solo in a tale based off of a role-playing, dice-rolling game; Skaar fighting the Juggarnaut and Bruce Banner egging them both on in "Incredible Huk"; and the revelation that there are only 50 full-blooded Viltrumites left in the universe in "Invincible", not to mention that Allen is back!! It is truly a sweet week when "Nova" and "Wolverine: Origins" are the weakest of the bunch, even though they are consistantly great reads.

Comic of the Moment: The Incredible Hercules

"The Incredible Hercules" is one of the ongoings that I always look forward to each month. Greg Pak (dude that did Planet Hulk an World War Hulk) and Fred Van Lente (dude that did Marvel Zombies 3 and 4) both on a comic book together at the same time should be illegal. Reilly Brown's art is both gorgeous and hilarious at the same time. I had thought about creating a blog that simply displayed all of the art that he had drawn sound effects. This book is the best of the Theological(?) genre out right now. I started reading it while I was still chipping away at Captain Britain and MI-13, so I was glad that there was an ongoing that I enjoyed since Captain Britain was getting cancelled.

Read it and enjoy it. If you don't like it, then go read Archie Comics or some shit like that.
