In a week when it seems that Watchmen hangover is still linger for some , relief follow from the most unexpected of station in this workweek ’s comic .
It ’s not just Rich Johnston ’s fun parody Watchmensch that owes a sight to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons ’ classic this hebdomad ; Marvel ’s twoSquadron Supremecollections ( J. Michael Straczynski ’s The Pre - War Years and , to a less extent , Howard Chaykin ’s Power To The People ) are very watcher - ish in their own ways … and Moore has a “ newfangled ” Word of God , Alan Moore ’s Light Of Thy Countenance ( actually a funnies version of a prose story by other Jehovah ) , himself . For those who want to scarper the shadow of the 1980s , though , there ’s visible radiation at the close of the burrow .
For one affair , you could escape to the 1960s ; the latest aggregation of Jeff Parker ’s gratifying X - Men : First Class series , The Wonder Years is turn , and just narrowly loses out on the book of the hebdomad position to letter From Lost Countries , the first collection of Vertigo series Air , which also has a specially - priced $ 1 issue released to entice new readers to pick up its exceptional brand of magical - realism ; personally , I suppose it ’s deserving the gamble , even if Letters From Lost Countries has the occasional stumble in getting to its destination .
Otherwise , there ’re the usual slew of crossmedia crosstie - Indiana launching ( Star Trek : Crew , which looks back at the pre - Kirk twenty-four hour period of the original series , andGI Joe : Cobra , which evidence the inside story of America ’s favorite terrorist forcefulness ) , including my favourite : Sherlock Holmes / Kolchak . There ’s almost no way that it can live up to that title of respect , but you know that it ’s run to be fun stress .
Whether your gustatory modality is in ’ 80s Gloomanddoom or retro movie chic , you ’re sure to find something to please inthe staring list of this week ’s new comic releases . Just remember to usethe Comic Shop Locator Serviceto find your local amusing store , and – while buying whatever you decide on – tell the owner that you ’re glad that his or her store is nothing like the one in Heroes .
