I’m hoping that it was his choice to walk away from the book, especially since his Hulk run is going to end soon too, and it looks like there might be a dearth of Ewing books in the future.
WHY IS AQUAMAN BLURAY SO EXPENSIVE SERIES
His Guardians is the best the series has been in years, and I was hoping he’d have a long run with it (this reminds me of the constant disappointments of his Mighty Avengers and Ultimates runs). Al Ewing wraps up his Last Annihilation storyline very well here, but he doesn’t really close off all the character work and ground-laying he did in the first seventeen issues of this run. Guardians of the Galaxy #18 – I hadn’t noticed that Marvel stealth-cancelled this book, and am disappointed to learn that now. It’s a spinoff book that couldn’t exist without the parent, but it works. Gamma Flight #4 – It’s cool that Al Ewing is using this series to address some plot threads from his excellent Immortal Hulk, which is set to end soon, because he also makes such good use of these characters. It’s interesting, but my complaint about this book is that is too much an adaptation of a novel, instead of a story that makes good use of comics’ potential. As Duke Leto and others travel to the coronation of the new emperor, the Harkonnens hatch their plot against House Atreides. I like how Layman and Dan Boultwood have expanded on the foundations of the original Chew comic.ĭune: House Atreides #10 – As we get closer to the end of this series, bigger events keep happening. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen an intricately-plotted, yet still very amusing, John Layman book (man, do I miss Outer Darkness), so I’m very pleased with this title. It’s really refreshing to see.Ĭhu #8 – John Layman reveals what this arc is really all about, as Saffron uses the time travelling wine to aim for an even bigger score. I like so much of what DC is doing these days. The cover is gorgeous, and Diego Olortegui’s art, while more cartoonish in a Todd Nauck kind of way, fits the story nicely. This is not a very complicated comic – Jackson is training to replace Aquaman one day, and his life seems pretty good until some Atlanteans come after him – but it is pretty charming and feels positive. I like the way Johnson is telling different stories in this book, but I assume they will connect somewhere down the road, and that has me intrigued.Īquaman: The Becoming #1 – I’ve never followed any series that Jackson Hyde, the new Aquaman (or is he Aqualad?), appears in, but since I love Brandon Thomas’s ongoing series Excellence, and since this also looks at issues of legacy, I thought I’d check it out. Phillip Kennedy Johnson spends most of the issue introducing a couple, before making it clear that the inbound ship is bringing some unwanted xenomorphs with them. The planet is inhabited by a religious group from Earth who were facing persecution there. This new arc starts off two years later, and introduces us to a colonist world that is just about finished being terraformed.
I’m curious to learn more about The Spark now.Īlien #7 – When the first arc of this series ended, I did wonder where the series would go, given that very few characters were still living. I also like how he’s made Cortez interesting, and maybe even a little bit sympathetic.
Spurrier is one of the few writers who is really digging into the story potential of Krakoa and the new mutant civilization, and I appreciate that. I also like the way Kurt continues to work at his new mutant religion. At the same time, I like the way Spurrier has gotten into the heads of Nightcrawler, Legion, Fabian Cortez, and his new creation, Lost, as they move to stop Onslaught’s plans.
X-Men: The Onslaught Revelation #1 – It kind of bothers me that Simon Spurrier and Bob Quinn’s Way of X miniseries didn’t wrap up their story, but instead led into this one-off, which (it seems) is in turn setting up another series down the road.
