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!
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!
So, this is what it looks like when a zero issue is shoehorned into a series that didn’t need it. A half-year old origin story retold… incorrectly.
DC introduces Simon Baz by immediately throwing him in Guantanamo under suspicions that he’s a terrorist. No, really. I wish I was just making a bad joke.
The rightly-titled “When Push Comes to Shove” put Nina Theroux on center stage. The alpha with the hyper-induction ability “pushed” her way to the brink of auto-destruction in an episode that explored her past and her struggle with her mistakes. The story also flaunted the refreshing newcomer Kat who offered a lighter, and arguably more effective, mirror to some of Nina’s issues.
Artemis dead? Kaldur and Wally missing. Superboy’s going N.O.W.H.E.R.E. Why even make popular shows when DC never tries to gain new readers from them?
There are currently five Batman books? Is that too many? The right amount? Not enough?
The sequential release of the previously released Chew #27! Does the experiment Chew‘s creators started a year ago pay off or is this book not worth the second helping?
It’s Marvel’s big 2012 wedding! These things don’t happen to often, so come and enjoy it!
Bethesda announced pricing and release details for the remastered version of Doom 3 today for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC.
