Hey there again everybody, It's LB again. So this week I'm actually on time with posting the new TWIC. A lot's goin down this week. The world is comin to an end, the Teen Titans get to together for the first time (didn't they do that already?!), does the x-baby get digital or does it stay with basic Cable?, and finally vikings curse a lot.... and I mean A LOT!
First we start with The End League from Dark Horse. This is the new offering from Rick (Fear Agent) Remender. It's a post apocalyptic super-hero story with plenty of twists for ya. The End League follows Astonishman, a superman wannabe with more personality, as he inadvertently kills the Earth. The rest of the book takes place after the apocalypse where Astonishman has founded a team called The End League. Throughout the book we see Astonishman beat himself up for killing the planet and for just not destroying the planet to erase his mistake. I highly recommend The End League this week.
Our next offering we have is Teen Titans : Year One from DC Comics. Being a fan of the Teen Titans, I was very excited about this one. Year One opens with Robin looking through the internet for other teenage heroes. The whole story goes through all the original titans going through daily day to day things that sidekicks do. Sit, Listen and Do as their told. Robin has it the worst though having to deal with Batman. It's a really cool take on the beginnings of the Titans and Highly recommended for those who either read Titans already or have never read Titans before.
Finally we hit the X-MEN. Coming from Marvel this week we have Uncanny X-MEN. Ed Brubaker yet again proves why he is one of the rising stars at Marvel. With the tenth installment of the already amazing Messiah Complex story, We see if Cable lives or dies, What happens to the baby and what's the deal with Madrox in the future. I can't gush enough about how amazing this story has been. If you haven't been reading it than you should go out and buy every part and start reading.
Coming from the frozen north, we have Northlanders from Vertigo. The second issue of this already amazing book is just as good as the first if not better. We see Sven in the wilderness of his homeland trying to survive and build an army to kill his traitorous Uncle Gorm. Do yourself a favor and go get this amazing title. Brian Wood is one of the best comic writers working today.
Also as a sweet treat this week is the beginnings of the NEXT WEEK SNEAK PEAK! I will be doing a feature on a book from our preview pack. This first installment spotlights THE TWELVE. The Twelve are all characters from back in the late 30's and early 40's who Marvel bought the rights to and are bringing into continuity. It's amazingly well written and the art is absolutely gorgeous. Highly, HIGHLY recommended by the entire staff here at CBJ. So next week get this book !
Signing off from the offices of Comic Book Jones, See Ya Next Week!
