Comic Book Roundup

In comic books, general geekery on October 20, 2015 at 8:46 pm

I managed to read a few titles today. I’ll focus on 2 of them here.

Captain America: White #3: This series is consistent, but a bit too carefully measured. Anyone who has read Loeb’s previous work will recognize the story beats and will see them coming. That’s not to say the story is bad. It’s rolling along nicely. The real treat is Sale’s art, which is a thing of beauty. His stylized characters practically leap off of the page. The issue ends strong. Looking forward to #4.

Guardians of the Galaxy #1: Part of the “all-new, all-different” Marvel, this new GotG is close in style and humor to the 2014 movie, even if it doesn’t use the same lineup. Peter Quill has inherited his father’s legacy, so he has passed the Star Lord mantle to Kitty Pryde. Venom and Thing are additions, joining Rocket, Drax, and Groot. This book has action and laughs. Brian Michael Bendis brings it on every front. Well worth your time.

Look for my summation of Batman: Endgame on Crime Alley soon.
