Buzz-worthy books of the week
Batman and Robin Eternal #2
It totally didn’t even dawn on me when this started that Bruce Wayne was no longer Batman. Part of me just figured it was happening after that arc of Snyder’s. It actually works out nicely because the Robins have more reason than usual to stick together.
Chewbacca #1
Everyone’s favorite wookie is getting a limited series. No talk of it being a prequel. Not sure how he separated from Han.
Goon In Theatre Bizarre #1
A special Halloween one-shot about everyone’s favorite monster pulverizing mobster.
Guardians of the Galaxy #1
The Guardians are back together. this time with FF’s Ben Grimm and Kitty Pryde filling in for Star-Lord.
I Hate Fairyland #1
A young girl gets trapped in a fairyland dimension for 30 years and gets a little stir crazy.
New Avengers #1
Sunspot, having taken over AIM, is making it into a peace-keeping group with its own Avengers. His only obvious choice was Hawkeye and padded the rest of the roster with some peripheral Avengers (Hulkling, Wiccan, and Squirrel Girl). The best part: Songbird gets to be an Avenger finally!
Spider-Gwen #1
The strangest hit Marvel has had in a long time is back. Don’t miss it just because it isn’t Peter. It’s legit!
Switch #1
Apparently, this started out as web comic on Deviant Art that is hitting the big time. It will technically be self-contained but will have tons of cameos.
The Twilight Children #1
Gilbert Hernandez and Darwyn Cooke team up for this alien tale that takes place in Latin American. It includes some blind kids, a women who might be an alien, and some kooky CIA agents, as if there is any other kind.
Uncanny Avengers #1
Steve Rogers is now leading the unity squad (the X-Men/Avengers co-op), and he’s got a hell of a line up. Doc Voodoo. Quicksilver being a good guy. Spidey, always fun on a team. A Human Torch, with Johnny joining the Inhumans, I’m kinda hoping its Jim. Oh, and Deadpool. Yes to more Deadpool. Especially more Deadpool and Cap. Double especially more Deadpool and Cap written by Gerry Duggan. The only thing that would be better is Deadpool, Cap, and Wolverine. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly back together.
