Breaking News: Lead singer of My Chemical Romance, Gerard Way is calling Umbrella Academy his debut comic. BUT, we dug up a comic he published way back when he was in high school called “On Raven’s Wings”.
Mark Millar and John Romita take on real life people getting into superhero suits in Kick-Ass #1. This “real life” superhero even has a MySpace profile. Is this a gimmick or is it a book worth picking up? Find out in this review.
Is Thor #6 the Thor we’ve been waiting for? It’s still early on in this series, but we think this book has finally arrived with this issue.
Then Captain America #35, continues the great story arc with Bucky as the new Captain America. Justin calls it “an event comic written like a regular comic”.
In this Speed Round, we check out Good & Evil #1 which actually had some unexpected Biblical overtones, Ex Machina #34, Brave and The Bold #10 which is fun old school comic book action, Abyss #3, and Locke & Key #1 written by Joe Hill, Stephen King’s son.
In the mailbag: Metamorphic asks about our take on Mini-Series. Do more minis mean less attention to long-running series? Are more minis a good thing?
