Issue two of WYND was so good l could feel the jittery excitement that comes before a great adventure, James Tynion IV is writing such a cool comic!
Michael Dialynas art is and always will be a favourite of mine, yet again his giving his best work with this comic book as well
EXCELLENT!
When I read the announcment that there will be a new Avengers title I wasn’t that thrilled, in my opinion there should only be one team and one title.
This new team would be called the Savage Avengers and feature Wolverine, Elektra, Punisher, Venom, Doctor Voodoo and suprisingly Conan!
Conan? How? Why?
What is he doing in Earth-616?
I definently have to catch up with my marvel history i’ve missed out on
Im very fond of his group, for each and every one of these characters I have a soft spot and I really like that they brought them all together.
But they are not truly Avenger material, yes they are savage but not Avengers
All of them are dark, brutal and lethal. They deal with the dark parts of the Marvel Universe in a violent way, they are anti heroes.
Obviously I was curious on how this new lineup will became an Avengers team and how well will these characters blend and interact with each other.
But what got me to pick up this comic book was the creative team of Gerry Duggan and Mike Deodato Jr.
I’m HUGE fan of Deodota’s art from way back in the ’90s and recently whenever I read a comic from Duggan I just loved it and I wanted to read more of it., l was confident that the two of them they make a good story
They did, from the very first pages I start reading the Savage Avengers: City of Sickles I was captivated, the art was stunning and as each character was introduced into the story they seemed true to how I knew them.
Each character showed the aspect wich made me fond of them, I enjoyed each and every interaction from fighting scenes to conversations.
The story was well thought out and although you thought it was a simple case of beating the evil it had an interesting twist at the end.
This new team of anti heroes are bound to each other from now on, Gerry Duggan found a very smart way to do this and I’m so glad he did and
And the art oh my so amazing!!!.
I do understand the title now it’s a smart one, Savage because they are savage and they came together as a team in the Savage land and they are Avengers because they have something to avenge.
They might have connections to our all favourite superhero team of mighty Avengers but they are not. This is a team that just want to avenge for what they went through in a savage way.
Read it you will enjoy it !
I am very fond of this comic. It’s funny, quirky and unique and it’s written and drawn by Tomek.
I really, really like Tomek’s art, its so detailed and so enjoyable that just by looking through the pages of the comic you get a whole story and then you read it and you get yet again another story!
l didn’t get around to reading all the issues. They are seven issues in total and they were published by Jemma Press from 2011 through to 2016.
The comics is called Koulouri (Κουλούρι) I don’t know why, maybe l should ask at some point.
Well it’s time l started reading my Friday comic, instead of gazing the amazing covers.
Tell you all about it soon.
Recently l read the first issue of the new series Jane Foster: Valkyrie. I like Jane Foster, she was the one from Thor’s supporting cast that I always would like to see more of. It was a surprise when she became Thor but now that she is a Valkyrie I like it a lot more.
I found issue one of this new series interesting. Jane Foster is a cancer survivor, she is working as a doctor and she is a superhero. She feels powerful and strong with her new powers.
As a superhero her powers are connected to the Norse mythology, she has a new powerful weapon but also she has gained a special connection between life and death.
Jane Foster knows how important it is to be a warrior in life, to fight to be and do the best and most you can within the time you have.That’s why I think it was a very smart move to make her a Valkyrie, the one who chooses the warriors who are deserving an afterlife in Valhalla.
I would prefer the authors had explored more of her spiritual side in the first issue.Having her go against villains which are more likely to fight Spider-Man or Daredevil would did not appeal to me.
I enjoyed though the new twist at her job, the discovery of new powers and what was revealed when she visited Asgard. That’s what l will be looking forward to read in the following issues.
l do believe it can become a great comic book series, so l will read a couple more issues.
Jonathan Hickman has come back to Marvel and he has taken over the X-Men.
If you ever read his run on Avengers you know his stories are of epic proportions and that’s how it will be for the X-Men as well.
In a single issue he has taken the truth of what the X-Men are and expanded it to a level higher than what we fans believed it could ever happen. It’s revealed as the story unfolds in the first issue of House of X that our merry mutants have finally achieved greatness and they seem happy and serene!
They were outcasts and uncanny monsters who society feared and hated, they were scattered and hunted around the world and divided among themselves out of hope and fear on how they can fit in with the rest of mankind. Now they have chosen to become a nation of powerful individuals who separate themselves from the rest of the world in a peaceful way.
There is a “house” now that can shelter them and all can be part of, they feel safe.
They have matured and use their powers to advance as a nation for a better life for themselves and offer solutions for humankind. In return for what they offer to humans they demand to be recognized, accepted and left alone to prosper in a nation of there own, to be free and become what they always truly were, the new gods of this world.
This new era we are introduced by Jonathan Hickman is written with interactions and dialogues of how we would expect the various characters of the X-Men family to be, there is respect of who they are and they seem true to how we know them. All this is portrayed by artist Pepe Larraz in a wonderful way and Matre Garcia’s colours are stunning!
I do believe that the creative team of House of X has succeeded in making the X-Men to be yet again part of what Marvel truly represents, the House of ideas!
I strongly suggest for you to read it, there are great things to come along!
