MAGIC OF REALITY HOW WE KNOW WHATS REALLY TRUE HC – Magic takes many forms around the world, chronicled in stories by people attempting to explain the burning questions of the world around them. But there is another kind of magic, and it lies in the exhilaration of discovering the real answers to these questions. It is the magic of reality – science. Packed with clever thought experiments, dazzling illustrations and jaw-dropping facts, The Magic of Reality explains a stunningly wide range of natural phenomena. What is stuff made of? How old is the universe? Why do the continents look like disconnected pieces of a puzzle? What causes tsunamis? Why are there so many kinds of plants and animals? Who was the first man, or woman? This is a page-turning, graphic detective story that not only mines all the sciences for its clues but primes the reader to think like a scientist as well.

But what would you really get if you entrusted your hard-earned $1.69 to the post office? Mail-Order Mysteries answers this question, revealing the amazing truths (and agonizing exaggerations) about the actual products marketed to kids in the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s.

The cartoonist re-enters the book that consumed him for over a decade to talk about his survivor parents, the oxymoron of picturing life in a death camp, his guilt-ridden success, racist imagery, and his beloved medium. Witty, intimate, and revelatory, MetaMaus tells the story of how and why a work of art is made, as it grapples with the questions that Maus has most often evoked: Why the Holocaust? Why mice? Why comics? In this book and its accompanying DVD, Art Spiegelman provides an onscreen reference copy of The Complete Maus linked to a large archive of audio interviews with his father, memories of his mother by those who knew her during the war, essays about cartooning, scholarly essays about Maus, thousands of preparatory sketches and drafts, scans of his private Maus notebooks, and much more.

X-MEN LEGACY #256
Spawning out of Geoff Johns’ legendary run on Green Lantern where he created the multiple hues of Lantern Corps, came the crazy raging Red Lanterns. Now as part of DC’s New 52 comes Red Lanterns, one of several Green Lantern spin off books being offered this month. Does the title stand enough on its own? I think so, as it carves out new mythology of Lanterns with one of the more interesting of the rainbow of Lantern Corps.
The book begins in space with alien creatures even meaner than the Red Lanterns themselves! When one Red Lantern (not telling which one) tries to stop them, he gets captured leading to the Red Lantern leader, Atrocitus coming to save the day and kick some tail. It is really sweet to see him in action.
There is a big portion of the story dealing with Atrocitus’ origin and the reasons he hates the Guardians and Green Lanterns. But Atrocitus worries that his Red Lanterns are becoming mutinous, with them so angry and amped up all the time, they fight each other like wild dogs. Can Atrocitus control them? What new direction does he want to take the Red Lanterns in? And what exactly is happening on Earth that looks like it may involve the Red Lantern Corps in the not too distant future? The answers to these queries lay in issues ahead, so there are some good hooks in here to make you want to come back next issue. There’s also a part that features Dex-Starr, or as we like to call him around Super-Fly, Rage Cat, which definitely makes for a cool moment and provides kitty lovers a great reason to check out the series.
The art is lovely. Ed Benes, who worked with writer Brad Meltzer on the last volume of Justice League of America, does a fantastic job of bringing the Red Lanterns to life. There is an impressive display of detail which succeeds in making the Red Lanterns look mean mad and completely dangerous—even the petit feline Dex-Starr looks tough! Other Red Lanterns look out and out terrifying. Rob Hunter’s inks add depth and accentuate the Red Lanterns, and Nathan Eyring’s coloring job is vibrant and beautiful to behold.
While all well and good, there is one big drawback to the book: Atrocitus carries on like an angst filled teenager about his rage. I haven’t seen characters carry on so dramatically about something since Justice League: Cry for Justice, where characters literally cried out “Justice!” over and over ad nauseam. Here it’s the rage that burns within that is brought up repeatedly. Red Lanterns definitely has some cool parts and it is gorgeous to behold. I just feel I would appreciate this more if I were still an angst overloaded adolescent; with all the problems that period of life brings, Red Lanterns would be some great escapist fantasy. Now, I enjoyed it, but feel some of the raging was a bit overdone. During my first read, this really bothered me, but then I remembered that they’re Red Lanterns. Raging up like maniacs is what they do best. With the Red Lantern Corps, they are the avatars of rage—it should be expected that they don’t have very good anger management skills. So that is forgivable; any other characters it wouldn’t be though.
Red Lanterns #1 was an alright read, but it’s more so-so than exciting and is really weighed down by its emo protagonist, which is easy to get over but still distracting. Red Lanterns is hardly one of the worst books that have come out, but it’s not over the top great either. I do think it is a perfect starting place to learn about another Lantern Corps besides the Green one, and if you’re fans of the characters, you won’t be terribly disappointed with their portrayal. Red Lanterns #1 gives you everything you need to know about the Red Corps and sets the stage for some intriguing situations. Check it out—just be prepared for a lot of raging!
I can’t say that I’ve ever been a big Hawk and Dove fan. While I enjoyed their depiction in the Justice League Unlimited cartoon, I haven’t read a lot of stuff with the characters. I know they were originally conceived by Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko, but I haven’t read that stuff yet (I say yet because DC is releasing a second Steve Ditko Omnibus this December which will include the original Hawk & Dove comics. The first Omnibus with Ditko’s Shade the Changing Man is available now & can be special ordered by Super-Fly). What I have read (mainly 80s Tales of the Teen Titans stuff before Dawn as Dove had been introduced) depicted Hawk getting angry for anger’s sake, which I always kind of thought was goofy. I didn’t read Brightest Day either, which prominently featured the characters, so I didn’t know to expect with Hawk & Dove #1. However, with the New 52 providing a fresh start for everything, I hoped this would be a good entry point into learning about these classic characters. It is, and while it was on the lower end of all the releases this week, Hawk & Dove is a decent book with an intriguing lead in.
Hawk and Dove are based in Washington D.C., where a mad scientist terrorist takes over the internet to make public threats on the nation, then sends a plane full of monster zombies into the capital to attack. Luckily, Hawk and Dove are already on scene. Hawk is the Avatar of War, while Dove is the Avatar of Peace which is evident in the first few pages with Hawk busting terrorist and zombie creature heads while Dove struggles to try to land the plane safely.
While trying to have an open mind, coming across the introduction of H&D’s powers had me nearly laughing. Hawk’s powers are: enhanced vision, agility, strength, body density and healing factor, while Dove’s power set includes: enhanced intelligence, compassion, enhanced strength, flight, and danger sense. Since when is COMPASSION a super power?!? Inspiring compassion in others maybe? It just sounds a bit silly I guess. I do think it is cool that they have different power sets though, which could (and in the first issue does) lead to them to compliment each others’ powers in combat situations.
Hawk and Dove take care of the plane, but it doesn’t end perfectly. The characters’ different nature is not only in their powers, as they end up quarreling easily. They soon depart, and head into their respective lives. Hawk, AKA Hank Hall, sits at home complaining to his father about Dawn and how she doesn’t live up to his previous partner. Hawk isn’t getting mad just for the sake of it. He’s pissed he lost his brother and partner, Don Hall, the original Dove, and that Dawn has come from seemingly nowhere to take his place after Don was killed (in Crisis on Infinite Earths).
Dawn meanwhile is crime fighting with Deadman, who makes a cameo. He apparently hooked up with Dove during Brightest Day but don’t get too creeped out: Deadman was alive at the time. Here, towards end of the issue things start to get interesting. This part with Deadman was even more appealing to me than the last page cliffhanger, but you’ll have to read it for yourself to find out why.
Though I loved him growing up, I have to say I have not been a big Rob Liefeld fan in recent years. That said, the man has done a quality job on the art and the reports that he was so really pumped for this book and that his enthusiasm shows in his work is actually true. Go Rob Liefeld! There are also some instances of clever panel placement, especially the two page spread depicting Hawk and Dove’s transformation and origin. Gates overall wrote a good issue but it’s just a standard super hero tale with a dash of intrigue. With all the releases this past week, Hawk & Dove doesn’t really stand out from the crowd. However, it does establish who Hawk & Dove are for first time readers, and provides a decent hook to keep reading.
If you like the characters, you should really enjoy the book. If you’ve never heard of them, then you probably will like it too. If you’re familiar with them and not the biggest fan, this book probably won’t win you over. It’s just standard super hero fare. Not bad. Not great. However, it has some potential. Whether or not I pick up #2 will probably come down to my state of finances next month, but if I’m in a good place then I think I may get it—though I’m not ready to add it to my pull list. Gates and Liefeld do a better than expected job, making Hawk & Dove a book that is worth reading, but not outstanding in the massive amount of DC Comics that came out week two of the New 52.
Justice League International was my favorite book as a kid back in the 80s. There was an eclectic and unusual group of heroes and things were played for laughs. After being in the spotlight following Justice League Generation Lost , the JLI is now back in a new book, Justice League International #1, with Dan Jurgens writing, Aaron Lopresti on pencils, and Matt Ryan on inks. Justice League International shows promise with the first issue, but is very much thrown together quickly—which is intentional—but it still suffers a bit for it.
The JLI is basically a team that is just thrown together at the United Nation’s whim in response to the Justice League and increasing threats (if the UN is forming a Justice League International, it makes me wonder if/how DC’s other UN team, the T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agents, fits into this plan). Heroes are selected by an international panel, and then literally assembled almost immediately (as they were apparently already assembled prior to the team being green lit). Everything seems like it comes together hastily at the expense of too many “hows” and “whys.” True, this keeps the story moving. But there are things like veteran JLIers acting like no JLI team has existed before, as some characters are thrilled to be on the team or act like they haven’t worked together in the past. For example, Booster claims not to be familiar with his teammates and Guy Gardner writes off Booster as a loser, saying he’s worked with him “a couple times.” While I understand a need to keep things fresh for the relaunch, it seems a little sad that the characters barely know each ¬other and their shared history is gone.
As the team comes together there are understandably tensions among this International ensemble. Most prominently, the Russian Rocket Red verbally spars back and forth with the Chinese August General in Iron. But there is hardly any time for much more than quibbles as the team heads out to their first mission only to get it handed to them. Things happen so quickly I have virtually no reasons to care about the characters other than my previous attachment to them from my childhood onward. As for Lady Godiva, I have no idea who she is or what her powers are. I know she can’t fly and that she was in Flashpoint…That’s about it.
Sure it’s a first issue, and pretty much the gang’s all there from the start (Jurgens has said the team lineup changes after #1, presumably with additions) leaving little time for character development. But here again, the rapid pace seems to take its toll on the book. At the same time, after reading the issue a couple more times, the team actually suffers from heading out on a mission practically minutes after getting together. They come to realize they don’t know each others’ powers or have any group tactics, and it’s easily one of the reasons things get so hectic at the end of #1. It’s a rough start for this Justice League, and it shows. I think that’s actually kind of neat.
The art by Aaron Lopresti and Matt Ryan does a good job depicting our heroes and rendering the various places where the action takes place. Each hero looks very distinct and many have new costumes though nothing that different than what came before. While the art is pretty good, it is nothing to write home about when there are titles such as Batwing #1 and Swamp Thing #1 that came out the same week with stellar art. JLI’s art doesn’t look bad, it’s just nothing extraordinary, which suits the first issue well.
The lineup is pretty cool (though I kinda resent Plastic Man being teased in the issue, but he does not get to join), and there are a couple chuckle evoking lines. But it’s a totally different ballgame than the JLI of the late 80s/early 90s. Things are more serious, and the stakes get pretty high pretty quickly. I was not overly impressed with #1, but I liked it enough to check out #2 to see how this new JLI survives. So if you’re a fan or you’re new to JLI, the book does a fair job of introducing the premise (not so much the characters) and overall seems to be a decent team book in the making. I thought the start was a little weak, but it seems that Jurgens intended this JLI to have lots of troubles starting out. They certainly do, and while it makes for a scattered team book, it is entertaining.
Animal Man is hardly a household name. So obscure a hero that he was part of a team called “The Forgotten Heroes,” Animal Man remained on the fringe until the late 80s, when Grant Morrison started the first Animal Man series. Since then, Animal Man has been a somewhat popular hero in recent years, though recently was often seen in the company of Starfire and Adam Strange. Now with a new series by Jeff Lemire and Travel Forman with Dan Green assisting on inks, Animal Man strikes out on his own once more in a bold new direction; Animal Man #1 delivers a book that is both super heroic and horrifying in nature, and it’s a quite a good read, albeit a little unsettling.
The book starts out with an interview, revealing that Animal Man is now a public hero, an animal activist and recently, a movie star. Despite all this, his primary concern is his family and there are a few scenes with Buddy at home. Things start to get weird when he is called into action to stop a man who has taken hostages at the local hospital.
The plot is intriguing and Jeff Lemire seems quite at home with Buddy Baker (AKA Animal Man) and his family, but just as at ease in making things crazy for Animal Man. The story reads like a typical super hero tale and does a good job of introducing Animal Man as well as his wife and kids and the premise. But just as you think it’s a normal super hero book, things get really strange, and start to become pretty terribly horrendous. The source of all the problems seems to be coming from Buddy’s daughter Maxine, who is manifesting strange powers of her own.
Travel Foreman’s art is striking, for good or for worse is entirely going to be at the discretion of the reader. I’ve heard from people who hated it and some who loved it. I’m somewhere in between. The art seems a little distorted and is definitely weird—especially in the opening scenes with Animal Man with his family. I liked it at first, but it’s so different I felt the style was a little difficult to overcome at times. For example, there’s one scene in the hospital where Buddy is being examined where he looks like he has scars and pock marks on his face instead of lines of expression. But getting to the final pages where Animal Man has a nightmare, the art’s twistedness suits the moment perfectly and sets the tone for this horror series. If this is what we’re in store for, I can certainly get over the awkwardness which scenes of normality display. Though Foreman does work on the inking, Dan Green assists and the ink work compliments the overall art well.
I have mixed feelings on Animal Man’s new costume. It definitely suits Animal Man’s new role as a public figure, but I miss the goggles. It looks like Animal Man being Buddy Baker is public knowledge, so maybe he doesn’t feel the need to hide his face any longer. Touching on other fashion issues briefly, Animal Man’s son has a mullet, which in 2011 is a little disconcerting. Do kids still have mullets these days?
Lemire keeps the plot moving and the story at a brisk pace. Although the opening interview is unconventional, it covers a lot of ground and gets the ball rolling well and the following action keeps up throughout. The last page is truly frightening and sets the stage for the rest of the series, which looks like will map out a troubled time for the Baker family.
Despite some initial trepidation on Travel Foreman’s art, I came out of Animal Man #1 liking what I saw and the overall tone of the series. I’m a big fan of Lemire, so I definitely plan to stick around for at least a few more issues as I want to see where this is going. I also like Animal Man a lot and think this new take on the character suits him well. Even more than Swamp Thing #1, Animal Man #1 is a good mix of super hero escapades with chilling and disturbing elements seeped in. It’s like Vertigo PG-13.
So give Animal Man #1 a try and see what you think. There’s a great story, some art that is certainly unique, and in that regard standout among the DC New 52 books so far. Whether or not you’ll like it is, as they say, in the eye of the beholder. But even if you’ve never read an Animal Man story before, Animal Man #1 gives a great intro to the character, hits the ground running, and hooks you with a lasting impression. If #1 is any indication, there are some great adventures ahead, and this is definitely a book in the DCnU to read.
Detective Comics #1 is quite a milestone among the New 52, as Detective Comics are the original words abbreviated by the company name “DC” and there has not been a new issue #1 since 1937, and never a #1 with Batman in it. Along with the renumbering of Action Comics, having a new Detective shows how dedicated DC is in doing this relaunch and just like Action, Detective Comics #1 delivers a great jumping on point for fans new and old with a great take on a classic character.
Batman himself hasn’t changed much, and is in hot pursuit of the Joker. Batman says something to the effect that the Joker has been around for six years, suggesting Batman may have been active a little bit before Superman popped up in the DCnU. However many years the Dark Detective has been operating in Gotham City, he is still considered an outlaw by the police. In fact, it’s worth mentioning that in nearly every New 52 title, the heroes in each book don’t exactly have the best relationships with police or the public, even five years after Justice League #1. Despite Batman’s tense relation with the cops, James Gordon still has his back and the two discuss the case.
The rest of the comic has Joker craziness, a visit with Alfred in the Batcave, Harvey Bullock up front and center with the GCPD and a mysterious plot afoot with a new villain. It all adds up to some pretty great Batman. It’s a fantastic introductory issue as well, as it doesn’t rely heavily on recent Bat-events to tell its story or weigh it down. From the get go is the classic Batman Joker rivalry and their struggle plays out throughout the issue. I also really liked that the issue hit the ground running, with Batman after Joker in a hurry. As soon as you pick up the book, you’re in the story, and you don’t need to know a thing about Batman to enjoy it, making it another perfect entry level book for new or lapsed readers.
Tony S. Daniel is no stranger to doing double duties on Batman, and he’s doing a phenomenal job here. It’s very well written and the art is incredible too. Not only is the art high quality, it is consistent. Daniel captures the sprawling gothic landscape of Gotham City and its inhabitants well, with night scenes looking especially great. Batman, Joker and other characters all look really detailed and expertly rendered. There is a great use of shadows that add the overall dark feel of the comic, and the inks of Ryan Winn work well with Daniel’s pencils. The color by Tomeu Morey is also popping.
Whereas I didn’t really get the sense Bats’ costume had changed much in Justice League #1, it looks much more revised and body armor like here, which I like a lot. There are some other cool touches such as the fact that Alfred has hair! Yes, it’s just a widow’s peak, but still cool. James Gordon’s hair isn’t white either, which is consistent with his look in Batgirl #1. It seems the de-aging of the DCnU was across the board for everybody.
As I said at the outset of this reviewing process, I haven’t been able to justify buying any Bat-books lately, but I definitely want to see the outcome here as it could change the status quo for one character forever (though it probably won’t knowing comic books). It’s also one of the best Bat-books to come out of the first two weeks of September, so I think I plan to add this to my pull list. If you like Batman at all, are interested in seeing why the character is so cool, a Bat-addict, or you’re a lapsed fan like me, Detective Comics #1 is a fantastic first issue that cements why Batman is one of the best fictional characters of all time.
Week four of the DC New 52 is underway and boy are some great titles launching this week! We’re keeping them at the top of the list and in the spot light. If you aren’t a member of our subscription service and you are interested in any of these titles I urge you to hit our shelves up quick as D.C. has announced that every title so far has been ordered for at least a second printing due to the heavy demand.
Last Saturday we made our first trip to Cincinnati Comic Con and let me tell you it was sweet! We can’t wait for next year. This Saturday we are hosting a Magic The Gathering Innistrad Prerelease event where we will be having a $20 sealed tournament. Be here at 2pm when we start the fun!
