Comic Bits #4
Another week of Comics is in the book (Haha get it) and we chose our favorite title of the week. Look below!
Amazing Spider-Man Clone Conspiracy #2
Greetings, True Believers. Clones, Zombies, Action, Surprises, and Loop-holes if you might add have all cultivated into one brand new arc currently called: Clone Conspiracy. Dan Slott, and Jim Cheung have taken a tapestry that has been blank for the ages and have started to brush it with a copious amount of lush colors to tell us this VERY consistent story with only 2 Main issues and 2 tie-in’s so far, and this story is BRILLIANT.
Parker has run into his worst nightmare: His Demons have arisen and are back from the dead, every. Single. Last one of them. We’ve all seen how very evil The Jackal can be(Spider-Island which is current but also his previous stints in other arcs) but in this case he has done it and it has been a mess ever since. Parker is now facing his past rogue gallery, the blood on his hands that he’s spilled by himself or on his watch, but something miraculous happens. Heroes from a different Dimension have made an appearance and Parker’s day has yet to see light but this story continues to build up to be a blockbuster and we all cannot wait to see what happens next.
Silk #14, Prowler #2, Amazing Spider-Man #21 are to release this November. — Peter Parker
Doom Patrol #3
If I could name this chapter of DP, I’d name it “The Mysterious Origin of Casey Brinke and the History of the Doom Patrol with Negative Effects!” This book, for all that it’s worth is a treasure. It’s its own wacky and wondrous universe that could probably be inside Dannyland. Doom Patrol is a legacy; we’re shown that as time passes with the title that calls upon the history and something new for this team. Characters are pulled into different directions and over time we’re shown aspects and sides of the history of the team that just might be pulling from old runs of the team itself. Way has a great handle on the craziness that populates every ounce of the book. Whether it be a magnificently rendered origin story inside the inside of a comic book or the details of Dannyland as Casey tries to take stock of what exactly IS happening.
Not to be left out, we also catch up with more seasoned members Robotman, Larry (aka Negative Man), and the unusually calm Terry None. Derington on art continues to impress with this title. Everything is bright, vibrant, crystal clear, and it demands you look in the background for hints and things for the overall scene to be appreciated much more than you already could. All points align to continue to show why Doom Patrol is the fresh air you need to be smelling on the comic stands, we all need to worry about evil (almost Dalek) like aliens thrashing on an Ambulance. — @SageTerrence
Invincible Iron Man #1
After reading Invincible Iron Man, I have to come to realize that Brian Michael Bendis needs to stick to solo titles. While he is heading the charge of “Civil War II”, Invincible Iron Man is the Bendis that we know and love. Concentrated on one character and gives it the shine it deserves. Riri Williams is a young African American woman who is a super genius since birth, being too bored with life essentially. Bendis tells her backstory by sprinkling her past throughout her current fight with Animax while trying to teach herself how to fight at the same time. Losing close ones can be looked at as a super-hero M.O. but Riri lost her loved ones by a tragedy that actually happens in the streets of Chicago. Lately, Marvel Comics have been pushing the envelope of diversity in the comic book industry, a young black woman being an iconic character such as Iron Man can prove to be the right step for collective readership. — Lynx
