Civil War II #0- When I read that Marvel’s latest event is
Civil War II, my reaction was “meh”. After reading #0, I’m afraid my view has
not changed. Written by Brian Michael Bendis, drawn by Olivier Coipel, and
backed by a movie, on paper Marvel’s latest event looks like a winner. However
I just can’t escape the feeling of being there and done that. Not helping
matters is the new Inhuman named Ulysses who seems like the poster boy of a character
made just to be a plot device. Hopefully things will get better once it
actually starts, but for now I’m going to give it a miss.
Rai #13- As a villain, Father has been the
all-powerful bad guy in the Rai series. In this companion piece to 4001 A.D,
writer Matt Kindt show another side of Father proving that in the Valiant U,
things are always less than black or white. Beautiful work by artist Cafu and
colourist Dave Lanphear backed an intriguing issue that shows things from Father's
perspective. Father may now be a tyrant but you can’t say he didn’t try to do
things differently. The idea that the first Rai was not a warrior and in fact
cannot fight at all is intriguing to say the least. Hopefully, we will get more
history on the Rais in the future.
