A KC COLUMN by KC Carlson
These four new marvel comics are being released today at your regional comic shop!
Avengers #1
Avengers #1: Introducing the new innovative team of writer Jason Aaron as well as artist Ed McGuinness! Plus, as you may suspect — The Old purchase Changeth! I won’t spill as well numerous beans, however there’s now an Avengers man whose head is on fire! plus somebody big, mean, as well as green! however many fans will thrilled that the huge three of Thor Odinson, Steve Rogers, as well as Tony Stark are lastly back together on the team (at least for now!). as well as problem #2 spotlights Black Panther as well as Dr. Strange!
Avengers #2
What’s this about “Odin’s ancient band of Prehistoric Avengers” as well as a specific prince of Lies? If that wasn’t enough, obviously Jason Aaron plans to rewrite “everything we understand about the origin of the marvel Universe!” Again?… That technique never works! Also, for Marvel’s “Fresh Start” campaign, there will be 18 problems of The Avengers every year (as opposed to just 12). This will be the only Avengers continuous title — at least for the foreseeable future!
Captain America #701
Captain America #701: writer mark Waid is sticking with this title. (I suspect the only method to get him off the book would be to pry it from his cold, dead hands. Eww.) joined by artist Leonardo Romero (with others), his very first new storyline is titled “Promised Land” as well as is set in the future, the year 2314. The grandson of Steve Rogers thrives in the utopian America that his ancestor dreamed of — however of course, something rather sinister is lurking about. as well as descendants of other noteworthy marvel Heroes may likewise be a part of this future! Plus, a few of those “other” artists discussed earlier may include Howard Chaykin, Alan Davis, as well as Chris Samnee! It seems that this title has rather a future — in much more methods than one!
Hunt For Wolverine #1
Hunt For Wolverine #1/Hunt For Wolverine: weapon lost #1 (of 4): Last week, search For Wolverine #1 began the the story of Wolverine’s active return to the marvel Universe. (What? You didn’t believe marvel would leave one of its many prominent characters really dead forever, did you? exactly how long have you been reading superhero comic books?) The Reavers have found information about Wolverine’s death as well as choose to investigate. When the X-Men find the Reavers have discovered Logan’s tomb in Canada, they rapidly descend on the site to intervene. Flashbacks bring us updated about Logan’s actual “death” as well as subsequent internment inside a mystic statue. however by the time the Reavers reach the statue, they discover it ripped apart by something very strong — in addition to empty. The search for Wolverine miniseries serves up a great deal of unanswered concerns — many of which will be presumably resolved in four new miniseries.
Hunt For Wolverine: weapon lost #1
Today sees the publication of search For Wolverine: weapon lost #1, written by Charles Soule, art by Matteo Buffagni. Is Wolverine really alive? With such a huge secret to solve, comics’ biggest detectives are out to resolve the mystery! (And I’m NOT speaking about those idiot youngsters as well as their goofy dog!) Daredevil assembles a team of truly wise people, including the bionic Misty Knight, Nuhuman Frank McGee, as well as the mutant understood as Cypher, who obviously understands a thing or two about coming back from being dead. In problem #1, this squad discovers a deep conspiracy with significant ramifications for Wolverine’s future.
Hunt For Wolverine: The Claws of a killer #1
Also, this month sees the debut of three other search for Wolverine miniseries, including The Adamantium Agenda, in which the new Avengers (Iron Man, Spider-Man, Jessica Jones, as well as Luke Cage) find both conspiracy as well as metallurgic miracle! In The Claws of a Killer, marvel villains browse for Logan. “Keep your good friends dead, however your enemies deader!” features Sabertooth as well as Daken. Wolverine’s former alter-ego patch is sighted in secret in Madripoor, as well as Kitty Pryde, Storm, Rogue, Psylocke, Domino, as well as Jubilee try to discover him. (What is it with Logan as well as young women anyway?)
S.H.I.E.L.D. by Hickman as well as Weaver: The renewal #1
S.H.I.E.L.D. by Hickman as well as Weaver: The renewal #1: Back In 2010-2011-ish, writer Jonathan Hickman as well as artist Dustin Weaver revamped S.H.I.E.L.D. for the contemporary marvel Universe. less Nick Fury’s old super-spy 1960s S.H.I.E.L.D. (Fury supposedly “died” during original transgression in 2014, however just recently popped up in The Unworthy Thor #1 as a miserable creature who refers to himself as The Unseen, who likewise references the death of The Watcher — which likewise occurred during original Sin), the Hickman/Weaver version of S.H.I.E.L.D. was much more about Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Nikola Tesla, Galileo, Nostradamus, and… um… Howard Stark (Tony’s Dad!). I’m not going to pretend that I comprehended anything about this series — however it did intrigue me much more than the former super-spy stuff — which now seems horribly dated (yet still much fun to checked out with a appropriate 1960-70s mindset).
S.H.I.E.L.D. by Hickman as well as Weaver #6
Anyway… the second series of the Hickman/Weaver S.H.I.E.L.D. series just kinda disappeared into the either back in 2011 without much explanation. however marvel has revealed that S.H.I.E.L.D. (2011) #5 as well as #6 will lastly be published later in may — just a few weeks away! however very first — as well as out today — is S.H.I.E.L.D. by Hickman as well as Weaver: The renewal #1 which easily collects S.H.I.E.L.D. (2011) #1-4 so you can promptly get yourself caught up in this really unique, unusual, as well as commonly astounding comic book series. (I believe it’s quite astounding that it’s really back!)

WESTFIELD COMICS is not accountable for the dumb things that KC says. particularly that thing that truly irritated you. I’m irritated that I’m using about three layers of garments since my basement office is freezing, in spite of it being in the 80s outside! Achoo!
