Pick of the Week – Mara #1

Posted on by

It’s a small batch of comic books out this week, but even in a packed week, Brian Wood‘s Mara #1 would be a top contender. The series set in a future where sports is a global competition (even more so now), all eyes are on Mara, a volleyball playing goddess. There’s lots of set up in the first issue with amazing art that fits Wood’s solid story telling. This is a hell of a start of what I’m sure will be another classic series by one of my favorite writers.

  • Mara #1 – see above
  • Amazing Spider-Man #700 – It’s the end of an era as this long running series comes to an end. A new Spider-Man is up next which brings us to…
  • Avenging Spider-Man #15.1 – The possible first appearance of the new Spider-Man.
  • Deathmatch #1 – BOOM!’s latest series helps us answer the question of who would win the fight between two characters we know we’ve all had.
  • Aquaman #15 – DC’s revamp has made Aquaman an A-lister. In a week with few releases, you should find out why yourself.

Posted on by

TributeCapra[2]Frank Capra is an icon of American popular culture. But he is so much more than simply the director of  It’s a Wonderful Life, the most beloved Christmas movie of all time. Bluewater‘s comic book biography traces the course of Capra’s life from penniless immigrant to Hollywood royalty, and examines his unique and invaluable contribution to America’s war effort.

Tribute: Frank Capra the comic book is written by Matthew J Elliott and drawn by David T. Cabera is out now for the holiday season.

“ To me personally, Capra represents the holidays with his classic film, so this is a great book to share with your family to learn more about him while you are watching his films this season”, said publisher Darren G. Davis “I am obsessed with old movies and we wanted to tell Capra’s story in this medium.  It is one of the best ones we have produced”.

Tribute: Frank Capra may be purchased in print exclusively at Comic Flea Market for $3.99 here: http://bit.ly/XBEUEe – Digital copies will also be available.
