Comics! Get your comics! Fresh off the press!
Yes, we know the sequels are not received well. But Marvel is doing something really cool with Star Wars: Legacy of Vader #2. Charles Soule has you going back to the origin of Vader through the eyes of Kylo Ren. By having him go back to places Vader has visited in the past. You’re visiting Tatooine once again with pirates on Rancor’s and a member of the Hutt family! Great fun!
For DC this week we want to put the spotlight on a few classics that have been reprinted. Swamp Thing, Vol. 2 #37, Batman #31, Batman Adventures #12 are all getting facsimiles, which of these are you picking up?
Time is having a crisis. Mingling in the red-light district, you can find actual cavemen, medieval knights, and cyborg soldiers on leave from World War IV. Victorian debutantes amble their way into cell phone stores, confused and bewildered (what is a data plan?). On their way to work, bleary-eyed commuters get trapped in time-loops, assaulted by alternate-reality versions of themselves, and try to avoid post-apocalyptic wastelands. And LOOK: the 3:15 bus just took a wrong turn… into the neolithic era. That’s Assorted Crisis Events #1 for you in a nutshell!. Deniz Camp and Eric Zawadzki along with Jordie Bellaire are giving you an ongoing, zig-zagging anthology series about the compromised clicks of our clocks-full of one-shot stories both beautiful and ugly, tragic and redemptive, surreal and somehow all too familiar.
Happy Reading!
