When it comes to villains in the comics there are few that fans really love. As there are the ones are the arch nemeses like the Joke and Lex Luthor. Then you have the amoral ones like Thanos and Dr. Doom. Then there are those villains you just love to hate.
Take for instance, Lobo, a classic villain the DC Universe, who is both sinister and salacious. Then there is Harley Quinn, a someone is tragic yet uses humor to speak through the pain. Then there is Sabretooth, who is Wolverine’s arch nemesis and whose history drives deep with Logan. In his own miniseries, Sabretooth #1, Victor Lavalle paints a portrait of someone many don’t really know.
We find Sabretooth just as the X-Men’s Quiet Council exile indicts him for stealing date form Damage Control, a crime which Emma Frost brought him back to Krakoa, and the punishment is to be exiled to The Pit, a place where no man has escaped…. Until now. We find him months later in the wilderness of Krakoa, where the X-Men has sends a small contingent to take him in, but he proves more voracious than when he got sentenced to the Pit, decimating them one by one. That is until they find him incapacitated and apprehend him, whereby Krakoa sends a lawyer to find out just how he escaped. By issue’s end, we find out just how time stood still and infinite universes and infinite possibilities were explored, until fate gave him something very different on one such day.
Overall, Sabretooth #1 is a fun and frightening story that is worthy of this long seething villain. The story by Lavalle is well developed and exciting,. The art by the creative team is gorgeous. Altogether, a story that tells us more about Sabretooth than previous stories have endeavored to do.

Wednesdays (and now Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in
Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!
Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.
Batman #120 (DC Comics) – The new creative team has grounded the character in some ways focusing on a murder possibly committed by members of Batman Inc. With a reminder of Bruce Wayne’s misfortunes as well, it’s been a nice change from the years of over the top bad guys.
Chicken Devil #4 (AfterShock) – The series has been over the top violence and a hell of a lot of fun.
Daredevil: Woman Without Fear #2 (Marvel) – The first issue was fantastic focusing on Elektra’s version of Daredevil. A piece or her past is haunting her and now she’ll need to go against Kraven the Hunter!
Dark Knights of Steel #4 (DC Comics) – The series has been a fantastic “Elseworlds” type story taking our familiar heroes and villains and putting them in a world of sword and sorcery. The various machinations as kingdoms jockey towards war has been intriguing.
Fantastic Four: Reckoning War Alpha #1 (Marvel) – What sounds like a pretty big event is kicking off!
The Goon #14 (Albatross Funnybooks) – The Goon is always an entertaining time. There’s a twisted Popeye like fun about the series which continuously delivers amazing art, laughs, and most importantly, fun.
Monkey Prince #1 (DC Comics) – Perfectly time for the new year, we want to really check out this series mainly due to DC’s excellent press roll out for it.
New Masters #1 (Image Comics) – Alien colonizers have taken over Western Africa as a group of outcasts find themselves in a struggle for power and control is this interesting piece of Afrofuturism.
Nocterra #7 (Image Comics) – The last arc ended with a cliffhanger and we’re excited to see what happens next in this world cast in darkness.
Primos #1 (AWA Studios) – Centuries ago, two Mayan brothers constructed a spacecraft that sent them hurtling into outer space. Returned to Earth only to find their culture and civilization destroyed, one of the brothers vows revenge and seeks to decimate the planet with intergalactic technology gathered on his travels.
Sabretooth #1 (Marvel) – One character has been shuffled off to the side and we want to see what he’s been up to.
Savage Spider-Man #1 (Marvel) – Non-Stop Spider-Man was a really fun series and this follow up will hopefully continue that.
Serial #10 (Abstract Studio) – The series wraps up and we’re so excited, and nervous, to see what happens between Zoe and Jenni!
Speed Republic #1 (Mad Cave Studios) – In the future, Europe has united under one man, The Autocrat. He rules the apocalyptic landscape from corporate monopolies with a vision of unity that is gospel to some, but hollow to others. To distract the 99% from their poor and empty lives, they are given the opportunity to compete in the Grand Race.
X-Cellent #1 (Marvel) – X-Statix. Nuff said.
