ÁÁÀº. Basically the art is crisp and there's no doubt as to what you're looking at on the page.

The book is good. I'm hoping it stays sharp and doesn't waver like Y has seemed to do recently, but the book's good enough in this arc so I can tell you to pick the damn thing up and then grab the individual issues as they hit. It's one of the few books on stands these days worth selling out the coin for.

Order Ex Machina Vol. 1: The First Hundred Days from Amazon! (US) (UK) (CAN)

Mr. T Back in Comics: The Original Lord of the Bling Returns

Mr. T #1 from AP Comics

When we first heard about this project, we couldn't decide if the folks behind it were brilliant or cracked. Or both. But in an industry where Blue Beetle's getting shot in the head and spending four issues uselessly flogging the Avengers into quitting are both considered genius moves, we'll give anything new the benefit of the doubt.

Thus, coming out on Mr. T's birthday (5/21) is Mr. T #1 from AP Comics which promises to have the 80s icon delivering massive beatdowns to the deserving. Neil Edwards is providing the artwork, and Chris Bunting, who our readers across the pond will know from writing Action Man and The Lexian Chronicles, is scribing this.

For more info and a glimpse of the art, check it out here. We'll advise of the cracked/brilliant factor as soon as we know more.

Identity Crisis #2 - Comic Review

Cover art for Identity Crisis #2

Identity Crisis #2 from DC. Brad Meltzer (Writer); Rags Morales (Penciller); Michael Baia (Inker); Alex Sinclair (Colorist); Kenny Lopez (Letterer). What do you do when it's not shocking enough to have a much-beloved female character--who happens to be pregnant--get brutally murdered in your first issue? Why, have more brutality and wanton violence happen to the same character in a flashback in this issue. The first issue's events worked well enough in context, but this time DC has really gone too far. Throwing subtlety out the window, they make certain you know what happened (because it takes place over a page and a half), and then turn the perp into a raving, drooling loonbag afterwards who enjoys reliving and sharing the experience. There's a time and place to have gritty, morally ambivalent heroes--this is not it. Especially when there's no "mature readers" tag on the cover. And especially now that we know one character to have been an assault survivor all this time and the rest of the heroes that we've grown up reading to be more fallible than is necessary to tell a story. It's unbelievable that DC has sunk even lower than Marvel when it comes to shock-for-shock's-sake writing. Actually, it's really not--what with Nightwing having potentially nonconsensual sex in his title and DC touting a six-issue JLA story arc that shows the heroes failing in each issue. The fanboys are already lining up to talk about this issue: how it's impressive and deep and I bet they'd throw the word "gravitas" around if they could only spell it. But frankly, they're wrong. This isn't deep, dramatic storytelling. It's reprehensible. And sadly, it will sell like hotcakes.

Street Angel #1 - Comic Mini-Review

Street Angel #1

Street Angel #1 from Slave Labor Graphics, by Brian Maruca & Jim Rugg.

Hmmm. What the hell is this book? It's like Bob Burden suddenly decided to write a bizarre mixture of kung fu and skatepunk. It's got artwork that looks like it was done by the bastard child of Paul Pope and Mike Allred, which as you can imagine, is badass. It's like The Six Million Dollar Homeless Spy Kid, only with basketball playing ninjas. It's also one of the most exciting new books of 2004. Here we have Dr. Pangea, who's stolen the Mayor's daughter AND wants to realign all the world's continents. Who can you call? Jesse Sanchez, a.k.a. Street Angel, a badass eighth grader who could take down both Snake Eyes and Elektra together in a fair fight. Holy shit, where's issue number two?

Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play, Vol. 1: Priestess

Story:
Art:

Story and Art by: Yu Watase
Touch-Up Art and English Lettering by Bill Spicer

Published by: Viz
Contents: Collects installments from Animerica Extra Vol. 1, No. 1 through Vol. 2, No. 4.

My Verdict: Buy it.

Miaka Yuki thought she was a normal junior-high student, stressing more over her high school entrance exams and what her next meal will be than anything else. But Miaka has a weird experience in a library: she opens a book and is magically transported into the story, The Universe of the Four Gods, where she is hailed as the priestess of Suzaku, the deity of the realm of Konan. Based upon the medieval China, a war is brewing, and Miaka must help the people of Konan by gathering the seven legendary warriors of Suzaku. When Miaka gathers the warriors and summons Suzaku, she will also be granted one wish, which she plans to use to pass her exams in the real world.
