Cotton Review: The Best Books of the Week
Reviews of your favorite titles—and maybe some
you’ve never checked out
By Mike Cotton |
- Alias #22
Okay, enough with this Brian
Michael Bendis - we all know he's one of the top talents
in the industry today, but man, can this guy prove it every
single week. Kicking off the "Secret origin of Jessica Jones"
two-part arc with issue #22, Bendis delves deeper than he
ever has into just how Jessica got her powers and why she's
distances herself from the people who care the most about
her.
- 100 Bullets
#44 The second part of writer Brian Azzarello and artist
Eduardo Risso's "Chill in the Oven" storyline catches up
with some of the most interesting characters from previous
arcs all in one tiny jail. Needless to say, the more you
sink deeper into the series the more you feel like you can't
breath until the next issue ships. I beg you-begin reading
this book immediately!
- League of
Extraordinary Gentleman Volume II #5 It took a while,
but Alan Moore's finally wrapping up his second volume of
adventures featuring classic literature heroes such as Alan
Quartermain, Mina Harker, the Invisible Man, Captain Nemo
and Mr. Hyde. In this re-telling of "War of the Worlds"
England is under siege, no one can stop the Martian forces-no
one, except the League. For fans of this series, this issue
really pays off as Mr. Hyde finally tracks down the Invisible
Man for the revenge he's had coming since issue #2.
- Venom #1
Writer Daniel Way may be new to the comic's game but his
inexperience hasn't hurt him with Venom #1. A cross between
"The Thing" and "Friday the 13th" Way nails Venom as the
creepy shadow in the corner you're never ready for. Expect
some chills in Way's first storyarc, "Shiver."
