Review: Trill League #0

The influence of Aaron McGruder’s Boondocks, is more widespread than most would readily admit. As it was first a comic strip that ran nationally, that bought attention to many of the world’s social ills. What usually gets lost in these comic strips, are his comedic stylings, which makes them not only relevant but refreshing funny.  The fact that McGruder even went after George Lucas, and the way he did it after the much-maligned Star Wars Episode I came out, proves his comedic genius.

Since the comic strip ended as well as the TV show, neither medium until recently in the last year, has come close to what the Boondocks achieved. Not even McGruder’s follow-up, Black Jesus, have come as close to the sun as the brilliance of his original outing. In the last year movies like Get Out and the movie/TV show, Dear White People, as well as the brilliant (H)Afrocentric are the only ones that have captured the essence and spirit of what he was trying to achieve.  Thankfully, I have been wrong, as the smart and funny musings of Anthony Piper has found its way into Trill League.

In the debut issue, we find a character whose origin is very much like Dick Grayson’s Robin, but whose hijinks gets him in serious trouble., and is known as Trill Robin.  A rich benefactor raises him, much like Bruce Wayne, and who goes by the name of Blackmayne. What follows in this issue, is Trill Robin, throws a party for his 11th birthday, but gives away the address to their super-secret headquarters and is ultimately thrown out of something resembling the Justice League, but is called the Trill League. Before the issue’s end, he is replaced by pop star, Chris Brown, who he has to fight in order to make money and feed himself, what follows is a Kill Bill montage, and a hilarious end to a more than entertaining debut.

Overall, a funny debut, that I more than enjoyed, as I had to re-read it three times just to see if I missed anything. The story by Anthony Piper, perfectly blends, pop culture music, and comedy, in a savory gumbo. The art by Piper, is candy for the eyes. Altogether, I find it required reading for anybody who loves music, pop culture and comics, and not in that order.

Review: Uncanny X-Men Annual #1

425593-_sx1280_ql80_ttd_Caught in the crossfire between the Uncanny X-Men and the Dark Riders, Young X-Man ELIXIR was a casualty of war. But can a mutant whose power deals in life and death stay gone for long? Elixir is BACK and he’s come to take revenge…on BOTH parties! Plus: Domino stages her own strike against the deadly Terrigen Mists!

Writers Cullen Bunn and Anthony Piper return the X-Men in splendid form in Uncanny X-Men Annual #1. The issue brings in the charismatic ex-villain Magneto as the leader of this misfit group of X-Men. The issue focuses on how the Terrigen Mists have affected the world. But, the bigger news is the issue resurrects the former X-Man Elixer from the grave, with more power than ever before. It goes to that basic theme, showing how with great power, comes great responsibility.

While the focus is clearly on Elixer’s amplified powers and the destruction of the Terrigen Mists it shows so much more. It is obvious how the world has changed without its mutant population. Bunn and Piper bring in the ruins of Genosha to keep the atmosphere grim, as Elixer showcases how much his death has changed him. All of it beautifully illustrated by Piper and Ken Lashley.
