Jacks, Janes, and Secrets – Dave’s Comic Book Picks of the Week
GØDLAND #25 – The modern example of Jack Kirby as a genre. Image’s ad copy says: “GØDLAND YEAR THREE IS HERE TO DEPLETE THE FOSSIL FUELS OF YOUR BRAIN!” I cannot disagree or say it better.
GREATEST HITS #1 (MR) – Greatest Hits is the story of a rock band called the Mates. The Mates are the Beatles if the Beatles never broke up–and were super secret agents. The mini-series is told like This Is Spinal Tap: view the band through the decades and trends as seen by a movie director.
JANES IN LOVE – The sequel to Cecil Castellucci and Jim Rugg’s Minx book, The Plain Janes.
MIGHTY AVENGERS #18 SECRET INVASION – If you read Secret Invasion, the Avengers books are the only ESSENTIAL tie-ins. If the SI mini-series issues are the dots, the Avengers books are the lines that connect them.
