The Oscars have come and gone, there’s horse meat in everything you’ve ever eaten, and we’ve seen how truly terrifying a scientifically accurate Spider-Man would be. And it’s only Wednesday? What are we to do? Never fear, dear readers, because it’s Comic Book Day and we’re here to hold the line against boredom with this week’s top picks and your complete pull list. Or as Quvenzhané Wallis would say, “*shaking her fists triumphantly*”!
Top Picks
Hawkeye #8 | Matt Fraction and David Aja
Cherry’s got a gun and she knows how to use it! It’s a very special Valentine’s Day issue of Hawkeye, and Clint gets caught smooching a woman at the Avengers’ Mansion that isn’t Black Widow, Spider-Woman, Mockingbird or anyone you’d expect, really. What’s a lusty archer to do except re-enact Shaggy’s “It Wasn’t Me”? As per usual, Aja’s art is gorgeous in its minimalism, and Fraction makes the minutiae of superheroism as compelling as doing battle with Galactus.
Batman Incorporated #8 | Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham
Chances are that you’ve already had this issue spoiled thanks to DC’s big reveal in the New York Post, but if you haven’t, steel yourself, because it’s gonna be a grinder of an issue. Let it suffice to say that this is going to be a momentous issue that will have ramifications reaching across the many Batman titles. Grant Morrison’s run on Batman may be winding down, but no one can deny that it’s been an absolute Bat-blast, and Batman Incorporated #8 is no exception.
The Rocketeer: Hollywood Horror #1 | Roger Langridge and J. Bone
Our favorite jetpack-totin’ vigilante returns in an all-new adventure serial from writer Roger Langridge (Judge Dredd) and artist J. Bone (Batman: The Brave and the Bold) and, we’ve got to say, it’s about time. As the title suggests, this book will introduce a bit of horror to the Rocketeer’s otherwise adventure-filled world, all of it set against the backdrop of 1930s Hollywood. Will this new ongoing series live up to the character’s weighty legacy? It’s difficult to tell, but horror and Old Hollywood go together like peanut butter and some terrifying jelly, so we’re excited to see where they’ll go from here. All in all, this is definitely worth a read.
