Pick of the Week: The Massive #11 + 9 Others

the massive #11 coverThere’s a solid list of new comics being released this week and the fact I’m still thinking about The Massive #11 makes it my pick for the week. Brian Wood‘s amazing post-environmental crash series continues it’s mysterious journey as the team attempts to find their sister ship, the Massive. This issue looks at the impact of this new world on the animal populations and particularly sharks. In a simple comic, legacy is examined in a haunting story that had me getting choked up. Haunting and beautiful at the same time, The Massive continues to be one of the best comic series to be published.

  • The Massive #11 – see above
  • Jupiter’s Legacy #1 – The new series by Mark Millar and Frank Quietly is about a group of individuals given super powers and the next generation, their kids. The latest hero deconstruction has a solid first issue and I’m sure everyone will be buzzing about it this week.
  • Princeless Vol. 2 #2 – The best all-ages comic out there continues its amazing “girl power” message. Fun for everyone.
  • Mind MGMT #10 – Matt Kindt’s trippy spy-like series is a perfect example of what happens when you see every page of the comic as a whole package. From start to finish, always an amazing comic with so much small detail, it’ll make your head spin.
  • Rachel Rising #16 – Optioned to be a television series, see what everyone will be buzzing about.
  • East of West #2 – It’s the four horsemen meets a futuristic western, need I say more?
  • Uncanny X-Men #5 – Brian Michael Bendis continues to put out one of the best “X” comics out there with this group of revolutionary mutants.
  • Mighty Skullkickers #1 – Hack and slash D&D like fun!
  • Uncanny Avengers #7 – How does Havok’s speech about mutant being a four letter word go over? Hopefully we find out.
  • Young Avengers #4One of the more interesting Marvel NOW! series takes on the next generation of heroes.

Vietnam, 1968: Behind enemy lines, Private Brian Curliss is alone. The enemy caged him, the dead want to devour him and the voices in his head are driving him to madness. A madness that emerges in the form of an unstoppable killing machine wrapped in burlap and bamboo…

Curliss is a one-man-army, sworn to wade through a wet red jungle gone straight to hell in search of a ghost named Jungle Jim. To the Viet Cong, he’s a nightmare. To POWs trapped in enemy hands, he’s salvation. To the legions of shambling, hungry dead…He’s the Grim Reaper in a gas mask.

MeatGrinder Studios and Image Comics return to the grim world of ’68 with an all-new, four-issue series continuing the story of Jungle Jim. The brutal sequel to the original one-shot, Jungle Jim #1 fleshes out the new dark star of the Vietnam/Zombie apocalypse. Scripted by Mark Kidwell with savage artwork by Jeff Zornow and Jay Fotos. Covers by Jeff Zornow, Nat Jones and Jay Fotos.

“A DANGEROUS FAITH”

Long ago, the valiant Templar destroyed themselves through a vicious civil war, allowing the bloodthirsty crusade of the tyrant king Icarus to destroy mouse culture. Yet the inspiring tale of the young mouse Karic promises to restore the fractured Templar and overthrow the mad king. But while some accept Karic as a prophecy for good, still others see his rising legend as an omen of evil.

Thus begins the climactic chapter in the epic saga of hope and despair, of tragedy and triumph, and where every secret will at last be revealed.

Accountability isn’t something Dr. David Loren worried about before. Sheltered behind the manned concrete perimeter of CED, so long as he continued to fulfill his contractual obligation to create inventions of destruction, David never had to think twice about being an arrogant jerk. But right now, David is on the wrong side of the military’s good graces. And accountability is a bitch.

Skullkickers gets “Mighty”

BEST PRESS RELEASE THIS WEEK! – Brett

This April, Image Comics invites readers to keep jumping on board action and adventure with a big ol’ adjective shuffle in – The Mighty Skullkickers! Continuing their needling of a certain publisher.

“After twenty issues of critically-acclaimed bone-busting adventure, we felt it was important to re-remind retailers and readers that Skullkickers is the most enjoyable adventure series in the whole crazy comic industry,” said Image PR and Marketing Director Jennifer de Guzman. “And when you need people to take notice, you reboot that $#%@ just like the big boys do.”

Mighty Skullkickers #1, written by commercial sell-out Jim Zub and drawn by the young and impressionable Edwin Huang, continues the epic six-arc Skullkickers storyline. It’s good stuff. Really good. Tell your friends.

“Some jokes get funnier with time. Some adjectives describe a concept perfectly. When we sat down and discussed the ideas at the heart of Skullkickers, we realized all along it should have been called ‘Mighty’” says series creator Jim Zub. “Also, sales. Dirty, dirty sales.”

If you’re a diehard collector of Skullkickers who’s sad that you won’t have a Skullkickers #21 to add to your collection? Don’t worry, we’ve thought of everything. In addition to the regular “Mighty” cover we’re offering a special “issue #21 variant” B cover to make sure your collector streak is unbroken.

It’s back. It never left. It’s a restart that continues right where it left off. Mighty Skullkickers #1 will be available wherever kick-ass comics are sold on April 24! Pre-order it now from the February issue of Previews.
