Illuminati #6- Color me surprised, this tie-in with
Stand-Off is nowhere near as bad as I had feared. Writer Joshua Williamson used
the event as a) a way to give us an insight into The Absorbing Man and b) a fun
potential pairing between him and Elektra and c) an issue that might give The
Hood a way to increase the membership of the Illuminati. Good issue.
Monstress #5- Who are the Ancients? What is an Arcanic?
Well, after 5 issues, writer Marjorie Liu finally decides to spill some of the
beans. In the last page of this series, the background of the Monstress world
is given and it is every bit as interesting and as deep as I suspected. This is
a bit of a setup issue but that doesn’t stop it from being interesting. More
info about this strange world is a good thing in my view.
Moon Knight #1- Moon Knight was one of those series that
should have never been closed. The previous series was great but Marvel with
their dumb policy of having a #1 every other years closed it down. So this new
series has a lot to live up to and it seems Marvel knows it because they got Jeff
Lemire and Greg Smallwood to helm it. The team got a strong first issue out of
the blocks but I’m more interested to see if this series got staying power. It’s
getting harder and harder to be excited about all these new #1.
