A quick look at this week's (08.22.2012) new #1s , graphic novels and crossovers/tie-ins. Plus, my pick of the week!
PICK OF THE WEEK
The climactic end to the X-Men’s greatest stand against Sinister! The culmination of everything Sinister has planned since Uncanny #1!
*Gillen is definitely the best writer on an X-Men title since Whedon and seems to have a better grasp of the characters since Claremont. Read everything Gillen does. He is a gem of a writer.*
PICK OF THE WEEK
BEFORE WATCHMEN DR. MANHATTAN #1
J.M.S/ADAM HUGHES - “I watch as a box containing a mystery is lowered into the soil.” And don’t miss the latest chapter of the CRIMSON CORSAIR backup epic from writer LEN WEIN and artist JOHN HIGGINS!
*Cannot wait to read the first issue. J.M.S has been on a red hot streak since he arrived at DC with his run on Brave and the Bold and Superman Earth 1. Adam Hughes illustrating the modern Silk Spectre and Dr. Manhattan just seems like one of those dreams you have that would never happen in reality. Hughes also was pulled off of All-Star Wonder Woman just for this project. High hopes for sure.*
NEW #1s
DRAGON AGE - THOSE WHO SPEAK #1
In this essential story from the lead writer of BioWare’s Dragon Age games, a king travels to an empire of evil mages to uncover the fate of his lost father! Accompanied by the pirate captain Isabela and the underworld merchant Varric, King Alistair will stop at nothing to learn the truth—even if it means battling an army of cultists single-handed!
ROCKETEER - CARGO OF DOOM #1
Celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Rocketeer with an all-new full-length series!
Dave Stevens created the Rocketeer in 1982 and it has proven to be a uniquely enduring Character. Now Cliff Secord and the Rocketeer take to the skies once again as Mark Waid and Chris Samnee spin a yarn in the best tradition of Dave Stevens, bringing us a tale of great adventure, suspense and humor!
A ship docks in Los Angeles harbor from a far-off and exotic locale—with a big, mysterious… and living…cargo! Danger and mayhem abound as our hero leaps into the fray! Plus, we introduce a lovely new character who will be vying against Betty for Cliff’s affections!
