A Drinking Game for New Issue of “Ultimate Human”

Welcome to New Comics We starve , a hebdomadary column from io9 ’s funnies czar Graeme McMillan , a rather shy young Scottish lad whom you may cognise fromNewsaramaor Fanboy Rampage . usually write on Tuesdays ( in time for you to prepare for Wednesday , the Sacred Day of New Comics ) , this week it ’s coming at you late since new comics arrive on Friday for the holiday .

If the first week of the twelvemonth means thing like “ New beginnings ” and “ Turning over a new leaf ” for , well , almost everyone in the human beings who follow the Judeo - Christian calendar , then it ’s refreshing to see that comic publishers continue to hitch that finicky movement by releasing very little of interest while we ’re all doing more important thing like recovering from political party . Nonetheless , if you incur yourself wandering into a risible book store in a still - drunken haze this Friday with some cash in your sack , I thought it may be a squeamish thing to indicate some ways for you to spend it .

The gentle – and maybe less productive – way to get rid of your money would be to pick up the hurry - relinquish second printing to DC Comics ’ Heroes hardcover , collecting all the webcomic tie - IN to the NBC show for those who missed the first impression , just in time to lack that Christmas rush . Be warned , though – It ’d be bonny to say that the highpoint of the book is the blueprint , with the actual message making you long for the beginning of the new time of year of the TV show . If you ’re haunt with giving your dollar to the Time - Warner corp , then a much better bet would be the first issue of the uncomfortably - key out Teen Titans Year One , which does n’t in reality show the first year of the adolescent crimefighters ’ animation but alternatively the first year of their dangerous undertaking together . Amy Wolfram , who indite for the ginchy Titans cartoon that used to be on Cartoon internet , treat the hand while Canadian wunderkind Karl Kerschl provide some beautifully cartoony graphics . If you ’re undecided , you’re able to see a previewhere .

Last Of Us 7 Ellie Crash

While Marvel Comics ’ most interesting release this week really has nothing to do with scifi and therefore probably should n’t be cite here ( but it ’s Essential Power Man and Iron Fist mass 1 , collecting the first twenty - or - so issues of mash - up between Marvel ’s seventies blaxploitation and kung - fusploitation superheroes ) , the publishing company does see fit to launch the first of its summer movie tie - in titles this week with the first issue of Ultimate Human by Transmetropolitan writer andhonorary Suicide GirlWarren Ellis and former Conan creative person Cary Nord . You ca n’t distinguish from the title , but Ultimate Human is actually four issues of “ Who ’s severe ? Iron Man , soon to be a major apparent movement picture starring Robert Downey Jr. , or the Hulk , also soon to be a major motion picture asterisk Ed Norton ? ” so potential fan fun to be had there , as well as likely drinking game sport from clumsy reference of fresh engineering science .

In terms of more indie books , it ’s all about former fold , with the woof being Joss Whedon ’s Buffy book pass on its tenth issuing and celebrates by bringing in Daniel Craig ( No , really ) and AiT / PlanetLar ’s The Black Diamond reaching the ending of its cross - country road stumble / chase movie / colourful geographic expedition of the comic form . Otherwise , it ’s a somewhat slow workweek ; Image Comics are relaunching a Holy Writ called Shark - Man , and there ’s something about the sheer “ Sci - Fi Channel television Movie ” quality of that title that tells you all you need to know about why you might desire to avoid amusing stores until next workweek and keep drinking , or else .
