THIS WEEK IN COMICS!! WEEK 22

Well hello there everyone, What's goin on out there in the world? It tis I, LB JONES, here once again with the hip hop happening with the latest and greatest in the world of comics. Sorry I missed last week, things were crazy hectic around here. So with out further delay I present to you, Mystery Science ........ Wait, what do you mean I can't just link a movie? That's not cool. OK so it seems that according to the higher ups I can't give you guys an awesome movie to watch. So I substitute it with THIS WEEK IN COMICS!!

Reemerging from Image this week, We have Witchblade. Now I've reviewed Witchblade before, but this is different than the normal Witchblade. This review is for the totally great Trade Paperback of the original first 8 issues. Yes Image is reprinting the original Witchblade stuff in a new line of trades called "Witchblade: Origins." Obviously this trade is the origin story for Sara Pezzini, the wielder of the Witchblade. We also are introduced to Kenneth Irons and Ian Nottingham, both of whom are total badasses and will plague Sara for a good portion of the series. If you've never read Witchblade this is a perfect book to start off on because it introduces the main characters and is very well written and drawn. David Wohl is the scribe of this particular volume and Micheal Turner provides awesome pencils from when he could still draw. For those who do read Witchblade and have never read any of this, definitely go back and read this stuff because it applies heavily to what's going on right now in Witchblade.

Next from Image again we have INVINCIBLE issue 50! Yeah this book was that good. Ending the mystery surrounding Cecil and bringing to light all the crazy shit that has gone down in the series up till this point. Invincible #50 is once again amazingly drawn by Ryan Ottley, this man is such an amazing artist and if he ever leaves the series I will be greatly saddened. Also included in this issue is the Secret Origin of CECIL, yeah we are finally given information about the oh so secretive head of the Global Defense Agency and lastly we get a SCIENCE DOG back up story!!Hell yeah I said SCIENCE DOG. My favorite character of Kirkman's that has never gotten his own solo story and now he has one!! YAY!! I LOVE ROBERT KIRKMAN!!

Once again DC has launched a weekly comic and in one swoop of stupidity have killed the novelty of the weekly comic. Trinity is the new weekly that focuses on Batman,Wonder Woman and Superman. The first issue consists of 2 stories. One focusing entirely on the Big 3 and the second focusing on Morgan La Fey and a new character named Enigma. The first story was really good. Kurt Busiek can write an awesome story and Mark Bagley is an amazing artist whereas the second story was boring and sorta threw off the first story. DC do me a favor STOP WITH WEEKLY'S!

And finally coming from Marvel, We have the new ETERNALS series. I totally love Marvel's cosmic characters and this totally feeds that. The Eternals was absolutely amazing. The Knauf brothers are just really good writers and totally took the reigns from the end of Neil Gaiman's Eternals story last year and ran with them. The story picks up right after Gaiman's and doesn't stop hitting you with information that fills you in with who the Eternals are and why they matter. Daniel Acuna's artwork was dead on for this book. Normally I dislike his artwork but with this book it was perfect. It really lent to the characters being of a god-like nature that they had sorta indescribable features. Totally worth checking out.
