Interesting Books This Week Incorruptible #1- I just got the first (and so far only) trade of Irredeemable today and it was fantastic. This is a bit of a spinoff in the same universe as that book. The Plutonian’s actions seemed to have caused a supervillain to reform. Interesting. Chimichanga #1- Eric Powell’s first creator owned book since The Goon. An all ages book. Should be great. Dodgem Logic Magazine #1- Looks like Moore has created a nice little magazine with a mix of A-list and local writers and artists. Pretty cheap too considering you get a free CD with it. And yes the CD includes Alan singing.
I picked up Dodgem Logic in the UK. It’s totally an old-skool zine with modern production sensibilities. Haven’t actually read it all yet, but there’s some fun stuff in there. The image of alien sex by Kevin McNeil is frankly astounding.
This week’s Amazing Spider-Man, #615, is excellent. The creative team is Javier Pulido and Fred Van Lente. The issue is just a pitch-perfect Spider-Man adventure. Van Lente and Pulido combine strengths as creators as well as Marcos Martin and Mark Waid did earlier this year.
Yeah, I dunno. I’ve read so many many “What if Superman was evil?” books, I couldn’t get into Irredeemable until I was convinced it was doing something special with that.
(I think the last book I read that hooked me at the first issue was… Incognito, I think? Beasts of Burden, maybe, I can’t remember which I read first.)
Yeah, very good issue! All the elements were there. I also always appreciate it when a writer remembers that Spiderman is supposed to be something of a science nerd IN costume as well as out.
