A KC COLUMN by KC Carlson (more loco than normal…)
MARVEL COMICS
Savage Avengers #1
Savage Avengers #1: This appears like something I may not take pleasure in (since I’m not truly an anti-hero guy…), however savage Avengers is such a bizarre idea it’s worth discussing here. starting with the team membership: Wolverine, the Punisher, Elektra, Venom, and… Conan the Barbarian? Well, that’s different. (I question where Conan is going to keep his Avengers membership card, as well as if he’s needed to be in any way the monthly Avengers meetings. Y’know, considering that he comes from a few thousand years ago!)
Savage Avengers is written by Gerry Duggan (Hulk, Deadpool) with art by Mike Deodato (Avengers, Dark Avengers, new Avengers, trick Avengers… hmmm, I sense a trend…) as well as covers by David Finch (so lots of titles at both marvel as well as DC). … This is a fantastic book to celebrate may Day! particularly with all of its dancing, singing, as well as cake! I can see Venom getting into some cake…
War of the Realms #3
War of the Realms #3 (of 6): north america freezes into new Jotunheim. Europe becomes new Svartalfheim. Asia goes up in flames as the new domain of Queen Sindr as well as her terminate goblins. Ulik the Troll lays insurance claim to Australia while Amora the Enchantress increases an army of the dead in South America. Africa falls to the Angels of Heven while Roxxon Oil drops its stakes in Antarctica. Midgard now belongs to Malekith as well as his allies! The Avengers’ last hope lies in a series of suicide missions across the realms, starting with the rescue of Thor — last seen surrounded by an army of Frost Giants in Jotunheim… I haven’t started reading this yet! I just wished to type all those crazy names! (My spell inspect just exploded!) primary cover by Arthur Adams & Matthew Wilson. Victor Hugo supplies a variant cover. (No, not that Victor Hugo… That would be odd. Hmmm. I question if Wolverine is older than him…)
DC COMICS
DCeased #1
I believed DCeased was a quite dumb title (and kinda difficult to checked out considering that it’s one of those made-up words). Apparently, there’s a mysterious techno-virus (because you can’t have a virus without tech these days…) on earth which obviously triggers guy to stack up in some kind of human mountain as well as then beat up Batman. (It’s a thing.) as well as somehow, after over 75 years, the DC heroes are unprepared for a pandemic (which I bet wasn’t even a word 75 years ago), as well as instead of battling it, they instead struggle to save their liked ones first. Wha…? These are heroes? DCeased #1 (of 6) is by writer Tom Taylor as well as artists Trevor Hairsine, James Harren, as well as Stefano Guadiano with covers by Greg Capullo.
DC’s Year of the Villain #1
Also this week is DC’s Year of the Villain #1 — a special 25-cent lead-in to DC’s summertime event of the exact same name. While things are going crazy somewhere else in the DC world (Lex Luthor conspiring with Cosmic Gods, Leviathan seizing power around the world, the legion of Super-Heroes wondering where their series went, as well as the Batman who Laughs busying himself in the shadows… I bet he does!), the poor men take center stage of what may be the most treacherous event in DC Comics history. Creators include writers Brian Michael Bendis, Scott Snyder, as well as James Tynion IV, artists Jim Cheung, Alex Maleev, as well as Francis Manapul, as well as cover artist Greg Capullo. As they say, everything starts here!
Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale
I always like to see DC branch out as well as try different things (especially for different audiences!) as well as Under the Moon: A Catwoman tale looks to be the begin of something different for DC. Written by new York Times bestselling author Lauren Myracle (ttfn as well as ttyl) as well as illustrated by Isaac Goodhart (IDW’s like Is Love), this new softcover graphic novel/storybook features a homeless 15-year-old Selina Kyle who struggles to discover her own identity while living on the streets of Gotham City. If you don’t see it, request it!

Walt Disney’s Uncle Scrooge volume 20: The Mines of King Solomon is the newest volume in The total Carl Barks Disney library — a series from Fantagraphics books that a lot of everybody at Westfield has raved about considering that the very first volume.

KC CARLSON obviously can’t tell the difference between a loon as well as a bowling pin painted to look like a loon. It’s been a truly long week (already)…
Loon or bowling pin?
WESTFIELD COMICS is not accountable for the silly things that KC says. particularly that thing that truly irritated you. As god is my witness, I might vow that a gigantic bowling pin painted to look like a loon might fly!
