Comics: The Meaning

com-ics (kom'iks)n. plural in form, used with a singular verb. 1. Juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and/or to produce an aesthetic response in the viewer.

"If Comics' spectacularly varied past is any indication, comics' future will be virtually impossible to predict using the standards of the present.... Those of you who make comics for a living - or would like to someday, probably know that keeping up with all the advances in today's comics is a full-time job. However much we may try to understand the world of comics around us, a part of that world will always lie in shadow - a mystery.... As it is, it should be kept in mind at all times that this world is only one of many possible worlds!
Our attempts to define comics are an on-going process which won't end anytime soon. A new generation will no doubt reject whatever this one finally decides to accept and try once more to reinvent comics. And so they should. Here's to the great debate."

Excerpts and paraphrased from the amazing Scott McCloud's "Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art."

TOP 10 - AVENGERS VS X-MEN 'BOUTS I WANT TO SEE!

This week mark's the first issue of the next epic Marvel event, AVENGERS VS X-MEN.  I've always been more interested in the X-Men rather than the Avengers, so this event leads us back to those childhood days arguing over which super hero would win a battle against another super hero, because chances were it was never going to happen.  It was just completely mind boggling being a kid when the good guys would have to clash for whatever reason.  The world's a much more ideological place to be in the 21st century as compared to the 80s or even 90s and those black and white lines have faded to a dull grey.  So, AVENGERS VS X-MEN gives us an opportunity to relive simpler comic times, plus there hasn't been anything descent done with the Phoenix since Chris Claremont's legendary X-Men run.  Let's have some fun.  I'm taking the X-Men over the government tools that make up the Avengers.  Will Spider-Man switch sides? He's not a mutant but just as an outsider.  Here is my list of the 'bouts I want to see as a Marvel fan and who would win.  Discuss, enjoy and get geeky!

Winner of the 'bout in RED.  IN THIS CORNERRRRRRR......

01 - CAPTAIN AMERICA VS WOLVERINE - (you know Wolverine will switch sides back to the X-Men and this is probably the fight that will end the series.  Much like the climax of CIVIL WAR where Iron Man and Cap fought). 

02 - CAPTAIN AMERICA VS CYCLOPS (Of course the two leaders need to clash.  Cyclops has come along way from the lame boyscout and is definitely one of the most tactical and badass characters in the Marvel U.  He's the Nick Fury of the X-Men and the younger version of Steve.  Cyclops does whatever is necessary, while to Steve the means do not justify the end).

03 - CYCLOPS VS WOLVERINE - (The rematch from X-Men Schism.  Marvel has turned Wolverine into a giant Disney tool, so it's about time Wolvie was put in his place.  Remember when he was 5' 3", drank and smoked a cigar?  Is he even Canadian still?).

04 - SPIDER-MAN VS DEADPOOL - (Has this ever happened? Take Spidey in a heartbeat).

05 - IRON MAN VS NAMOR the SUB-MARINER - (Both had flings with Emma and though I'm not an Iron Man fan, he'll come out on top after a vicious beating from Namor.  Liking Namor more and more though in the pages of DEFENDERS and UNCANNY X-MEN).

06 - THOR VS THE JUGGERNAUT A.K.A COLOSSUS - (Thor always gets back up, so this tilt goes to the God of Thunder).

07 - IRON FIST VS PSYLOCKE - (Iron Fist is the better ninja and apparently his power is derived from part of the Phoenix force). 

08 - ROGUE VS MS MARVEL - (The history between these characters goes all the way back to the beginning of the 80s when Rogue stole Carol Danvers powers, rendering Carol into a coma for the best part of a couple of decades in real comic time).

09 - BEAST VS ICEMAN - (Avenger/X-Man vs X-Man.  Never under estimate Bobby Drake).

10 - STORM VS EMMA FROST - (Storm is both an Avenger and X-Man and these two just don't get along.  Never bet against Emma Frost).

HONOURABLE MENTION:  (HOPE VS RACHEL SUMMERS), (CAPTAIN BRITAIN VS FANTOMEX), (MAGNETO VS THOR), (THING VS NAMOR), (HAWKEYE VS GAMBIT), (RED HULK VS COLOSSUS), (SPIDEY VS WOLVIE) AND (BLACK WIDOW VS PSYLOCKE).

THE BZZZ - 03.28.2012

A quick look at this week's (03.28.2012) new graphic novels, new comic book #1s and crossovers.

TPB = TRADE PAPERBACK
HC = HARD COVER
PREM = PREMIER

NEW GRAPHIC NOVELS

DMZ TP VOL 11 FREE STATES RISING

As Matty Roth covers the battles on the ground, old allies and enemies resurface and Matty must prove that after all he's been through that he is a changed man. Will the choices he makes reflect this? Collecting issues #60-66 of the acclaimed series!

GONE TO AMERIKAY HC
 
This sweeping, century-spanning graphic novel explores the vivid history of Irish émigrés to New York City via three intertwined tales, from a penniless woman raising a daughter alone in the Five Points slum of 1870, to a struggling young artist drawn to the nascent counterculture of 1960, the year America elected its first Irish-Catholic president.Written by Eisner Award-nominated writer Derek McCulloch (Stagger Lee, Pug), and beautifully illustrated with period detail by Colleen Doran (THE SANDMAN, ORBITER) and color by Jose Villarrubia.

RACHEL RISING TPB VOL 01 SHADOW OF DEATH
Rachel wakes up at sunrise on a shallow grave in the woods and discovers the freshly murdered body in the dirt is her own. With events of the previous night a blur, Rachel seeks out her boyfriend Phillip. But Phillip has a new girl now and Rachel is beginning to suspect she rose from the grave for a reason-- revenge! Don't miss the Premier Issue of this haunting new series by Eisner and Harvey Award-winning creator Terry Moore! 



NEW #1s

AVENGERS VS X-MEN #0 (OF 12)
Cover #95566
The battle of the ages is about to begin! Before the events of AVENGERS VS. X-MEN unfold, join Scarlet Witch & Hope as their allegiances are questioned. With all eyes on Wanda and the mutant messiah, the Marvel universe has become a powder keg on the verge of exploding!

NEW DEADWARDIANS #1 (OF 8)


In post-Victorian England, nearly everyone of the upper classes has voluntarily become a vampire to escape the lower classes who are all zombies. Into this simmering cauldron is thrust Chief Inspector George Suttle, a lonely detective who's got the slowest beat in London: investigating murders in a world where everyone is already dead!But when the body of a young aristocrat washes up on the banks of the Thames, Suttle's quest for the truth will take him from the darkest sewers to the gleaming halls of power, and reveal the rotten heart at the center of this strange world.THE NEW DEADWARDIANS is brought to vivid life by fan-favorite writer Dan Abnett (RESURRECTION MAN, LEGION LOST) with art by newcomer I. N. J. Culbard (At The Mountains of Madness).


CROSSOVERS
JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK #7
RISE OF THE VAMPIRES PART 1!
Straight off the shocking events of last month's I, VAMPIRE #6, vampires across the world have gone berserk, attacking anyone and everyone with a pulse. Fearing her apocalyptic vision of the future has come to pass, Madame Xanadu mobilizes the team to intervene. But everything the JL Dark members know about how to slay a vampire is useless, for the world has changed. It's a crossover that had to be, continuing into this month's I, VAMPIRE #7!

I, VAMPIRE #7
RISE OF THE VAMPIRES PART 2!
Straight off the shocking events of last issue and continuing the story from this month's JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK #7, Andrew Bennett finds himself in a place he never thought he'd reach during his countless decades walking the Earth. But his absence on Earth signals a deadly loss of order in the vampire hierarchy, as the savage attack on humanity he's long feared looks like its coming to pass.

Enjoy your week in comics!

'NUFF SAID - ESSENTIAL READING GUIDE FOR AVENGERS VS X-MEN

By now you've probably seen the previews and the next Marvel epic event is
AVENGERS VS X-MEN.  For the next 6 months the Marvel U will be dominated by battles between Earth's Mightiest Heroes and the surviving 200 mutants that reside on the X-Men's island of Utopia.  The reason for this conflict?  The Phoenix is returning.  It's CIVIL WAR but with the X-Men this time around.

Marvel's last few events have been underwhelming to say the least and have done very little to add anything to the Marvel U as a whole.  Marvel always seems to be willing to make a dramatic change to entice sales, but never willing to have the guts to stick with that change for very long.  ie:  Secret Invasion, marriage of Peter and Mary Jane, death of Steve Rogers etc etc etc.  So, I gave up on Marvel for continuity building a long time ago as a result.  DC is the place to be as far as continuity and actual "risk" with their stories and characters.  What Marvel does do really well though is have "fun" with their characters and stories and as adult comic fans, sometimes we gloss over the "fun" for the serious.  If I want an intelligent sci-fi mystery to think about , I read DC and if I want a "slugfest" video game, Marvel does not disappoint.  Marvel does the "mainstream" very well and that is why their brand is very accessible to readers.

I am looking forward to having fun with this video game, fighter throw down between some of the greatest super heroes to grace the pages of comic books. 
If the Marvel historians out there remember the AVENGERS/DEFENDERS WAR from the 70's or the G.I Joe cartoons and comics of the 80s, this AVENGERS VS X-MEN seems to be laid out in the same style of, pairing off individual or groups of characters to accomplish a goal against similar foes.  It was black and white.  You sided with the good guys or the bad guys.  Nowadays, everything is a shade of grey, so sometimes the good guys have to fight the good guys.  This is what Marvel did with CIVIL WAR.  Interesting how this kind of ideology plays out in entertainment. 

The AVENGERS/DEFENDERS WAR was probably the first comic to pit the good/neutral guy against the good/neutral guy.  I could be wrong.  Throw on top of that the old playground arguments of which good guy would beat the other good guy in a fight and we are into traditional story telling that is the basis for the industry through out the 60s, 70s and 80s.  Comics have definitely come a long way past these simplistic stories with more mature subject matter, but every once in awhile it's nice to remember being a kid and screaming at your friends "THERE'S NO WAY SPIDER-MAN COULD BEAT WOLVERINE IN A FIGHT." 

Check your brain and comic snobbery at the door (mental note to self) and enjoy Marvel's take on the UFC this April with AVENGERS VS X-MEN brought to you by writers Brian Michael Bendis, Jason Aaron, Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction and Jonathan Hickman; illustrated by John Romita Jr., Olivier Coipel and Adam Kubert.  This story has actually been brewing since MESSIAH COMPLEX by Ed Brubaker almost 4 years ago.  Below is the essential graphic novel reading necessary to get the whole story behind AVENGERS VS X-MEN.


X-MEN:  DARK PHOENIX SAGA
Gathered together by Professor Charles Xavier to protect a world that fears and hates them, the X-Men had fought many battles, been on adventures that spanned galaxies, grappled enemies of limitless might, but none of this could prepare them for the most shocking struggle they would ever face. One of their own members, Jean Grey, has gained power beyond all comprehension, and that power has corrupted her absolutely! Now they must decide if the life of the woman they cherish is worth the existence of the entire universe!

 AVENGERS DISASSEMBLED
Avengers (1998) #500
In possibly the worst day in Avengers history, an unknown assailant caused catastrophic events that would bring about the end of the Earth’s mightiest heroes. These actions left some critically injured while others would die at the hands of their enemies. If not for the aid of Doctor Strange, who uncovered that the attacks were magic based, the Avengers might never have revealed, or defeated, their true enemy- an insane Scarlet Witch.

HOUSE OF M
The Avengers and the X-Men are faced with a common foe that becomes their greatest threat: Wanda Maximoff! The Scarlet Witch is out of control, and the fate of the entire world is in her hands. Will Magneto help his daughter or use her powers to his own benefit? Starring the Astonishing X-Men and the New Avengers! You know how sometimes you hear the phrase: AND NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME AGAIN? Well, this time believe it, buster!

X-MEN MESSIAH COMPLEX
X-MEN: MESSIAH COMPLEX #1
Just when it looked like there was no possibility of a future for mutants, hope arrives. But the X-Men aren’t there to meet it – the Marauders and Purifiers beat them to it. Now the race is on to get the first new mutant since HOUSE OF M! Collecting X-MEN MESSIAH COMPLEX one-shot, UNCANNY X-MEN #492-494, X-MEN #205-207, NEW X-MEN #44-46 and X-FACTOR #25-27.

X-MEN SECOND COMING
The Second Coming saga serves as the third and final chapter in the "messiah trilogy," which began with Messiah Complex in 2007 and continued with last summer's Messiah War, and centers on the mysterious Hope, the first mutant born since the decimating events of M-Day. Similar to the format of the two previous parts of the story, Second Coming begins with a one-shot and continues through UNCANNY X-MEN, X-FORCE, X-MEN: LEGACY and NEW MUTANTS on a chapter-by-chapter basis before wrapping in a special finale.

It is a peace that will not last. Fifteen years later the children have now become young adults and each will have to face the destiny that awaits them in the unforgiving jungle.

Miller and the creative minds behind Grimm Fairy Tales and the Wonderland trilogy comes the wildest and newest reinvention of a classic that only Zenescope does right!

JOHN SAUL'S GOD PROJECT #1
For the Corliss family, the disappearance of their teenage son will bring many eyes to Eastbury, and spark a quite different type of mystery. What has happened to these children? Eastbury happened. Eastbury, Mass. Quiet, peaceful, prosperous. Surely the ideal place to raise a family? For the Montgomery family, the death of their baby daughter is a mystery that medicine should be able to answer, but can't.

SUPER CROOKS #1 OF 4
MARK MILLAR on what readers can expect from Supercrooks.

Supercrooks is such a simple idea – the guy that runs Marvel, Dan Buckley, said to me once “You’re the master of the obvious idea”, and it took me about an hour to figure out that it was an insult. Kick-Ass is one of those stories that is kind of obvious, it’s about what would happen if somebody without super powers in the real world tried to become a superhero. This is another one of those really simple concepts – all the superheroes live in America, so why do the supervillains always commit crimes in Metropolis, Gotham City, or Star City? Why don’t they just go somewhere where there are no superheroes? It would make life an awful lot easier for them. I remember thinking that if I was the Joker or the Mirror Master or someone, I think I’d head for somewhere like Glasgow, where the worst thing that will happen is being chased by a fat cop. That’s the idea of it really, only I thought I’d make it a bit more exotic, so I ended up making it Spain instead. So a bunch of supervillains head for Spain for one last job, for a heist. And I love heist movies – I’ve always wanted to do a ‘men on a mission’ story with supervillains. So the idea is a bunch of super-villains get together to pull off one last job; the biggest job of their career.

Cheers for reading and enjoy this week in comics!
