Grabbed my handful o comics on Friday and have made it through most of them, but nothing held my attention more than the Endangered Species one-shot. I realize it is a background piece, but it is an a/effective one. The funeral neatly brings many disparate figures together, and since the Endangered Species storyline will be effecting several X-lines, its important to gather everyone up, as they have been all over the place of late. I'm still sort of hazy on how the whole continuity thing works. I understand Whedon's Astonishing story is sort of in its own nebulous time-plane, how else could Cyke and Emma be attending a funeral on Earth when they are Breakworlding it up with Colossus and Kitty, et al out in space.
Getting a variety of mutants perspective on their 'inescapable' fate is a good idea for more reasons than just a "round 'em up." The reader gets a glimpse at the impressive diversity of Xavier's clan (and some of its enemies, past and present). This begs the question, why are the mutants 'past the point' of saving as a species? I've never really understood how the whole mutant gene works. With so many completely diverse powers and abilities, how on earth could mutant 'a' be anything like mutant 'b'? And with 198 or whatever mutants left, why does that spell species doom? Beast and writer Mike Carey's argument says that once a species gene pool is reduced to a such a drastic percent, the 'inbreeding' that would result from said population attempting to restore itself would fail to re-establish the mutant species. My question is: why? I guess I just wished they had a better definition to work with. I understand that this scarcity thing is how it works in nature, but its much different when you have 198 white pygmy fresh water crocodiles all living in the same inlet in southern China, since all the animals are from the same gene pool and incestuous to begin with but why so with Marvel mutants? Is Rogue anything at like Iceman? Wouldn't the child Cyke and Emma produce be entirely different than his son (Cable) whose mother was the Goblin Queen?
Anyhow, I especially liked the variety of reactions. Multiple man's vignette was funny if not poignant. Wolverine's felt a bit forced and 'heavier' than it need be. The thought that sure, he will outlast every living mutant is horrifying, that panel of him, gray-haired, alone in a cemetery is chilling, but when he gets a chance to speak later at the end, his words are far less weighty. In fact they kinda fall flat.
I realize HulkSmashWar will probably have longer lasting effects on the Marvel U (or for that matter, BENDIS!' skrullsploitation) but I've always loved the X-fam. If the Beast does find away to fix things (and the jury is still out) I'll gladly volounteer. What, they're fictional? hm. well shit.

Sinister Monday #6
The Skrulls are coming, the skrulls are coming! Momma, grab the wee ones and pack into the Subaru Outback, we're headin' for the hills! Unless of course the hills are also skrulls. Or skrills I suppose. And if you listen to that guy, what's his name, oh yeah it's BENDIS!, he would have us believe this Skrullsploitation has been underway for years and years. In one interview I actually found him hinting that some character might have been a Skrull for the past 30 years. I laughed out loud. Then I cried. Because nobody likes to retcon, and this plot... well, lets just say its a retcon waiting ot happen.
But in reality, who the hell knows. Could be great. Hell, it probably will be. BENDIS! has proven he's got what it takes, and he isn't stepping on too many toes. He said that Civil War and House of M are still valid and not Skrull driven. But he also hinted that while these things were happening the Skrulls took full advantage. Skrulls, skrulls, skrulls. Never thought one post could have so much wrinkly green chin thingies.
So who can you trust?
That's the new slogan, replacing "whose side are you on?" and "Back in black" for Marvel hype machine phrase of the year. I must admit, it is kinda fun wondering who is a skrull and who isn't. All arrows point to Clint Barton/Ronin but I think thats just too easy. Poor dude is going to find himself on the wrong end of an adamantium clawed fist and die. Again. And when Logan sees that Ole Clint was just a regular dude, albeit a dude that ROSE FROM THE FUCKING DEAD, well, maybe that will add one more empty beer bottle to the pile that night. But seriously.
Tony Stark also way too obvious. Ms Marvel is much more likely. Either Hank Pym or Reed Richards is a sure shot. One of those two neo-con douchebags has got to be a Skrull. My money is on Hank as F4 is a film franchise after all and you can't really mess with the fans that much. revenues and such.
Anyhow, thats about all the geeking out I have to say about New Avengers #31. As for HulkSmash, it was fine. Lots of things got exploded, Iron Man wore an even more ridiculously jacked up suit and still lost, and everything worked well for an opening chapter. I honestly will return for more because I can't quite figure out how this ends well. Its almost deus ex machina time. If Mean Green can take out Black Bolt (and just for the record may I add on that count 'yeah fucking right!' All the dude needed to do was sneeze and hulks atoms would be vaporized) then the sky is the limit and by the sky I mean the Sentry of course.
Looking back on the week that was, Fables kicked ridiculous ass (a big shocker, that) New X-men continues to impress, and where the hell is DC? Anyone heard from DC? Countdown? Hello? Step it up, fellas.
Looking ahead... Endangered Species. Me likey. Also, Cap and more. Should be pretty radical, dude.
Howl on,

Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis #52
Writer: Tad Williams
Artist: Shawn McManus
Letters: Todd Klein
Colors: Dan Brown
Artist: Shawn McManus
Letters: Todd Klein
Colors: Dan Brown
(A note on the above before beginning: Any of those categories could have been replaced with "Who really gives a crap?" and would've worked just as well. Just saying that I wouldn't want to put my name on this product. Yeah, just a taste of things to come.)
RHD has been spending a bit of time near the Cleveland Hellmouth and has thus been a touch out of the loop. We know he'll be back better and drunker than ever soon enough but in the meantime I thought I'd return to the single issue review with one hell of a stinker. Read on if you dare or, and trust me this might not be such a bad idea, just trust me and don't read Aquaman for a while. At least until Tad Williams is gone...if he ever leaves...Gods of Olympus I hope he does.
I thought about interspersing this review with the occasional stylized sigh. Kind of the whole interjected aside. I'd
Anyways, that whole review thing, right? I think in my blog entries I've made my feelings pretty clear regarding Tad Williams' run on the title to date. Frankly, Williams isn't the worst writer in comics right now, but coming on the heels of Busiek his efforts haven't exactly passed muster. Truth is I wouldn't like this incarnation of the title regardless of who wrote it previously or the direction in which I felt it was heading (toward something truly epic). Now I have no idea what the hell is going on. Absolutely no consistency in tone or characterization is present, which, honestly, is just bad writing. Sure, a creative team gets to put their stamp on a character and different teams will have different perspectives on what makes a comic work, what makes the characters tick. That said, there should be at least a token effort to move from one version, one interpretation to the next. Hell, Busiek seemed to have pushed Arthur past the whole snarky-smart-ass-punk thing into a young hero learning what it takes. Now he's a wise-cracking (and the jokes pretty much suck) dick with absolutely no sense of what it means to be a man – let alone a hero – or what is at stake each time he gets involved in a conflict. I could pound on this some more, but what's the point? On to the next element of this comic travesty.
[As a quick aside, this has been by far the hardest review I've yet to write and I certainly would not have made it through without RHD. His constant yammering and drunken stupor provides the ideal sounding board just to get some of the lead out. That and he occasionally contributes the occasional pearl, like his reaction to my description of the comic as "horrible art and really, really uninteresting writing." His immediate response? "Hey! It's like a Ghostrider comic!!!" So even if I am taking his spot, know that the RHD spirit lives on (and the beer count was 4, not counting the two after work with LeftD).]
The art just pisses me off. I can say that it is consistent enough that, should I give it time, it might just grow on me. Of course lots of things can grow on you...like a fungus or cancer. Seriously though, this is an absolute nightmare of an artist-comic mismatch. The elongated jaws McManus seems hell-bent on giving every male character are something more than absurd; they're outright terrifying. Seriously, Aquaman looks like he has a perpetual double chin or at least the worst underbite in history. I keep waiting for him to unlock and distend his jaw for the sole purpose of biting someone's head off whole. I think I can see where this art would work in a different setting, but not here and certainly not after Guice's work and even that of Villagran. Anyways, point is that before the art had an epic feel that evoked major events with an incredible gravitas as well as a unique and gorgeous view of life on the sea floor. Now, cartoonish art with over-developed mandibles. (This is where one of those sighs would have come in handy.)
Continuing with the art, the covers aren't too terribly bad. Kinda boring, but still, what can you do. Oh, I know...how about make sure the cover has SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE INTERIOR STORY!!! I'm not asking too much, right? It's like I'm taking crazy pills or something. I mean, the issue before showed Aquaman in a mine field and there were no mines present in that issue. OK, cool, whatever. This issue shows him looking down at an underwater city that is certainly not Sub Diego – don't even try and convince me otherwise – yet, he finds himself in a MINEFIELD this time around!!! I shit you not. This is the kind of thing that drives a hellhound head to drink...unless you're RHD...or LeftD on a warm day...and so on. Anyways, it hurts when the best thing about a comic is the cover and that isn't even close to being as good as the worst element of the book in its previous incarnation.
Yeah, I know this wasn't too terribly specific but give me a break: I had to read the damn thing. What's sadder is I'll keep with it, hoping against hope that Busiek comes back and saves up from this undersea plunderer known as Tad Williams. Given that I never planned on reading one of his novels, you'd have to pay me a handsome sum to even consider doing so now. Or told me Busiek would make an appearance...where he kills Tad Williams.
Ranking: Starscream as only a die-hard...you know what? Screw it; not even a die-hard should love this atrocity. Real ranking: Joe Camel 'cause if this Aquaman asked for help from his scaled friends it'd go something like, "Hey, help me out!" with the fish responding, "Fuck you bitch! Do it yourself you talking to fish motherfucker!!!"

sinister monday #5
Y'all can put down your noisemakers and stop lighting off fireworks. Please, the return of sinister monday is good thing, but not a national holiday. Really, you guys love me that much? *blushes* Aw, that's sweet. Just for those (imagined) compliments I'll give you a bunch of old fashioned reviews. Not quite 3-sentence howls, not quite feature length. Think of them as a happy mediums. There now, everyone's happy. In the order that i read them...
The New Warriors #1
Writer: Kevin Grevioux
Artist: Paco Medina
I wanted to begin this week's reading with a bang, but also something new. My buy pile was chock full of safe ones, as you will see below, and I thought the reboot of the New Warriors was just the thing to start off on the right foot. I wasn't wrong with this guess. Grevioux's got a good handle on the post civil war world, and thats both a blessing and a curse. Because this series is (for the time being) necessarily going to play second fiddle to some of the other titles in Marvel's bullpen, it is the documentation of the reaction to Iron Man's brave new world. So it can only be as good as the titles it is responding to... for now. In the end I think this series will flourish, especially once it shrugs off its contraints. There are certainly plenty of Marvel titles exploring young rebels and recruits growing up in an era of registration (the Loners, the Initiative, and Runaways to a certain extent) so in order to succeed we need to see something the other series aren't showing.
For the most part Grevioux is successful in this endeavor. Issue #1 follows a day in the life of a former mutant Wind Dancer who lost her powers on M-day. This hasn't stopped her from superheroing, merely it has changed her approach. Now she's caught the eye of a band of vigilantes who more than any other group have been forced underground. In this world you can't say 'New Warrior' without a national backlash. So they have that going against them. Like Spidey, everyone is out to get them, nowhere is safe, blah blah blah. Yet when all of these underground forces keep picking away at the establishment, something is bound to happen, right? And I'm not just thinking of Tony's inevitable spill from the wagon. (on a side note that image just made me picture what Stark would drink and I immediately thought of the 'Desmond' episode of Lost early in this past season. I could totally see Stark drinking scotch that is worth more than an entire person's life. If he ever had a daughter and some ne'er-do-well attempts to marry her, all I'm saying is get ready to see that scene redone Marvel style).
Medina's art reminds me of Runaways. Perhaps a little more cartoonish, but certainly as young and fresh as Alphona. The attention to details is great, specifically the 'background' stuff. Posters advertising toy lines for the Thunderbolts, Penance hawking cheeseburgers in his scary masochist spiky garb, Stark's face on every tv screen, it helps to set the tone, or rather to keep the tone omnipresent, as if every panel has a pair of eyes watching our rebels and taunting them. I see good things in the near future...

Avengers: the Initiative #3
Writer: Dan Slott
Artist: Stephano Caselli
And now for the opposite side of the same coin. For those who believe in the Tin Man and his 50 states initiative. So far this series has been a blast. If nothing else it reinforces the point that there are 'good guys' on board Tony's Establishment. Yeah, and there are bad guys too, Pym is constantly coming off as Stark's Beezlebub, and the kids in boot camp are more confused than morally sound, but the deep supporting cast is full of people you can really get behind. I think this is the single most important thing that Slott must maintain. The initiative will remain interesting just so long as it appears somewhat just, and the kids remain up in the air in terms of just what is going to happen to them. There a plenty of future supervillians in this lot if pushed to hard. But there is also a truckload of potential stars.
Issue #3 seems too full of guest spots. Beast, Thing, Dr Connors (the non reptile version of the Lizard), Spider-man, War Machine, and the 'lame half of the sinister syndicate' as Spidey calls it. And yet everyone has just the right amount of face time. Spidey steals the show whenever he's around, you can really tell he must be a blast to write for, who else can you make a constant jester and a complete bad-ass? And if you say Deadpool I will sock you in the nose. The most shining example of Spidey's wit and kickass-itude lay in the following repartee with the new Inititative recruit Komodo.
Komodo: Always with the jokes, huh?
Spidey: Fine. You want me to be serious? I can do serious.... you've already lost.
Komodo: No way. I've only got to prick you once, and--
Spidey: Not gonna happen. Know why? Because I'm Spider-Man. And you are a dollar-store version of the Lizard. See, I beat down guys like Doc Ock, Sandman, and Venom all the time. And you're just not in their league. Oh, I'm going to win.
Spidey then goes on to discuss exactly what happens after he wins, but for spoilers sake let's move on. There are some deeply disturbing happenings by issue's end. Like Stark's new manner of dealing with heros who won't comply, vaguely illustrated in the dialogue above. Also his contingency plan for Spidey not joining which something decidedly different. Definitely a 'oh--oh, that's some fucking creepy shit' moment. Stuff that can make a hero, no matter how machiavellian, into a villain.

Stephen King's The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born #5
Let's get right to the point, shall we? Jae Lee's art is the stuff of legend. It really is. We're talking immediate acceptance into the comic art canon, if said institution exists. Much has been said about his work on this series already, but the well runs deep, there are more adjectives to throw in, more modifiers to append. Lee's use of shadow is particularly wonderful, it's like what you wanted Hell Boy to look like but just wasn't quite there (I can't believe I just wrote that but there it is). There is a painting quality to the rest, it reminds me of the last third of Spirited Away, the part where the train glides over the flooded countryside and the sun sets and everything is all turqouise and pink and burning.
The story is what it is. Years ago I read the Wizard and Glass, the King novel which this comic series draws from, and thus I'm never surprised at what happens. It was well written then, King is never as bad as his detractors will tell you, and its well written now. Sometimes the made up words and dialogue can get a bit silly, but at least its consistent. Like some post-apocalyptic western tale of king arthur, with thees and thous and ka and ka-tets.
To be honest I both fear and look forward to what comes next after this series. Its making a ton of money, and Marvel will be all over a follow-up. In the interview that ends this issue King hints at doing 'the Stand,' which is my own personal favorite of his, but seriously? you could do issues of that for decades and not get through half of it. Other options thrown out there were the Talisman which King co-wrote with Peter Straub, another of my favorite sophomore in high-school reads. Either route wouldn't be bad, I just don't know if other readers would have the patience for such long stories. I certainly wouldn't want them to cut corners and abbreviate anything. If King will be praised for anything by future critics (and I think he will, take that Harold Bloom!) it will be for his relentless attention to detail, his fine character craftsmanship and his plain 'I'm having so much fun designing these worlds' style.

the lack of anything sinister
loyal reader(s),
I'm sorry to disappoint you this week. I let you down. I let the rest of the Cerberus down. But mostly, I let myself down. No new issues were purchased this week, my saturday-ish trek to the LCS was postponed due to a celebration. The anniversary of my birth no less. The Siren took me outta the state, one hell of a roadie, and we came back late last night.
Have been enjoying 52...
reading it via the freshly minted trade...
who knew secondary (tertiary?) characters could be so much fun?
Promise to get back in the swing of things next week. Will be visiting the store on thursday-ish, picking up this week and last weeks pulls. Lots of avengers, and countdowns aplenty. until then.
