September is Zero Month! DC Comics wraps up the first twelve months of The New 52 with the line-wide Zero Month. This is the first Zero Month since October of 1994. College freshmen this year were born in 1994, and are probably unfamiliar with what a zero issue is. One of the finest zero issues to be produced in the fall of that year, and stands the test of time over the years, is Starman #0, by Earth-2 writer James Robinson!
If you’re into comics you’ve probably seem Mark Waid’s work somewhere. He’s been writing for 25 years. He is currently doing an award-winning run on Daredevil for Marvel. He’s also well known for the creator-owned titles Irredeemable and Incorruptible which both take place in the same universe. Recently he started the digital imprint Thrillbent (as of this writing, the site is offline after an attack) and has been writing Insufferable on there. I got the chance to sit with Mark and speak for nearly 20 minutes about a lot of aspects of his career. Again, I want to thank him for spending so much time with me at Baltimore Comic-Con.
Will an issue of Wolverine and the X-men be good even if none of the main characters are actually in the issue? Who exactly is the new leader of the Hellfire Club?
The hypocrisy of the Avengers gets too hard to ignore in this character-centric issue. It tries to focus on Luke Cage’s concerns about family and fatherhood, but man, the Avengers suck.
The Avenging action, adventure and intrigue continues as Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes leaps off of Disney XD and into your hands! Captain America, Black Widow and Hawkeye infiltrate a Hydra base – and face a foe they’d never expect! Then, Magneto, the mutant master of magnetism comes to claim the Wasp for his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants – but Wasp ain’t a mutant — and ain’t one to go without a fight!
Who knows what evil lurks? Victor Gischler does! Marvel writer and crime novelist Victor Gischler makes his October debut replacing Garth Ennis as Dynamite Entertainment’s new writer on The Shadow!
This has so far been the biggest issue that has come out of Avengers vs. X-Men. The events that happen in this issue will change the Marvel universe forever. There are major SPOILERS in this review.
