DC COMICS

I AM BATMAN #1
Manus: John Ridley
Illustration: Olivier Coipel

”In the throes of Future State, the streets of Gotham City cry for justice and Jace Fox answers the call! With a new and improved Bat-Suit, Jace hits the streets to inspire and protect…as he follows the trail of the voice of misinformation and violence—the anarchistic Anti-Oracle! Can the new Dark Knight counterbalance their plan to inspire armed rebellion in the citizens of Gotham?! Can one man inspire a city?”

Intresse: 3
Kommentar: I DC:s Future State-tidslinje har Bruce Wayne dött och Tim ”Jace” Fox har tagit över titeln. Dock med en helt annan agenda som brottsbekämpare för där Bruce Wayne koncentrerar sig på att bekämpa brott så vill Fox starta en revolution.

BATMAN VS. BIGBY! A WOLF IN GOTHAM #1
Manus: Bill Willingham
Ilustration: Brian Level

”With the blood dry at Gotham’s fourth gruesome murder scene in as many weeks, Batman is stumped. The same hallmarks haunt each investigation: brute-force entries, bodies ripped to shreds and stamped with enormous bite marks, and clumps of fur—wolf fur—scattered in the wreckage. The streets buzz with rumors of the ”Werewolf of Gotham.” Determined to crack this case, Batman finds no leads and a mysterious, hairy, chain-smoking figure dogging his every move. The Dark Knight’s dangerously close to losing his cool when a series of bombings levels the city’s libraries in the days leading up to the 32nd annual Gotham Literary Festival.
As Batman narrows in on the Bookworm and his literary henchmen, he discovers that an invaluable book from another world is at the center of the violence. Stranger still, the wolf is in on it. But what kind of monster is built from such brains and brawn—and is he an enemy or an ally?”

Intresse: 4
Kommentar: Fables är en av gamla Vertigos mest hyllade serier som snart kommer få en nystart på DC Comics och som en liten aptitretare får vi en crossover mellan Batman och Fables motsvarighet av Stora stygga vargen, det vill säga Bigby Wolf, Fabletowns egen sheriff.

MARVEL COMICS

INFERNO #1 (OF 4)
Manus: Jonathan Hickman
Illustration: Valerio Schiti

””There will be an island—not the first, but the last…” Promises were made and broken. The rulers of Krakoa have been playing a dangerous game with a dangerous woman, and they are about to see how badly that can burn them. Mastermind of the X-Men JONATHAN HICKMAN brings his plans to a head, joined by an incredible lineup of artists beginning with VALERIO SCHITI… as one woman follows through on her promise to burn the nation of Krakoa to the ground.”

Intresse: 4
Kommentar: 2019 lanserade Jonathan Hickman nystarten med Marvels X-relaterade titlar med House of X och Powers of X som hyllats av många och nu lämnar han stafettpinnen vidare med eventet  Inferno.

MS. MARVEL: BEYOND THE LIMIT #1 (OF 5)
Manus: Samira Ahmed
Illustration: Andrés Genolet

”While on a break visiting her cousin in Chicago, Kamala Khan stumbles upon a robbery at a university physics lab . . . and maybe sets off an explosion of interdimensional proportions in the process. Still, nothing she can’t handle. Or so she thinks, until she gets home and finds her whole world turned upside down . . .and into a Bollywood set?! Why is everyone she knows singing, and how can she make it stop?”

Intresse: 3
Kommentar: 2022 kommer Kamala Khan (a.k.a. Ms. Marvel) få sin egen TV-serie på Disney+ (där hon gestaltas av Iman Vellani) och som en liten uppvärmning bjuder Marvel Comics på en ny miniserie med den pakistan-amerikanska superhjälten författad av Samira Ahmed.

THE DEATH OF DOCTOR STRANGE #1 (OF 5)
Manus: Jed Mackay
Illustration: Lee Garbett

”Doctor Stephen Strange is the world’s greatest neurosurgeon and Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme. He defends our planet from the supernatural and interdimensional threats no other hero is equipped to handle. But what would happen if he unexpectedly died? Who would protect Earth and keep the mystical evils at bay? And most importantly…who killed Stephen Strange?!”

Intresse: 4
Kommentar: Denna ödesmättade titel bjuder både på ett klassiskt whodunnit-mysterium men också sökandet efter en värdig kandidat till titeln Magins mästare.

KA-ZAR: LORD OF THE SAVAGE LAND #1 (OF 5)
Manus: Zac Thompson
Illustration: Germán García

”The alien Cotati murdered him. The Savage Land brought him back. Lord Plunder has returned — with a vastly new perspective! Now united with Shanna the She-Devil in a mystical merging of life energies, Ka-Zar has new abilities, new needs…and new enemies. An ancient evil has surfaced in the Savage Land — one that is rapidly reshaping the forgotten world and its inhabitants. Ka-Zar and Shanna must fight together to protect their home and family! But their son Matthew has plans of his own…”

Intresse: 3
Kommentar: Jag har aldrig varit något större fan av Marvels egen motsvarighet till Tarzan men författaren Zac Thompson är en frisk fläkt i sammanhanget så jag kommer ändå hålla ett vakande öga på denna nya titel med Ka-Zar.

THE DARKHOLD ALPHA #1
Manus: Steve Orlando
Illustration: Cian Tormey

”For hundreds of years, scholars and heroes alike have searched for the complete text of the Darkhold — a.k.a. the Book of the Damned, written by the elder god Chthon. Now one of the greatest sorcerers in the Multiverse has found it — and Chthon has found him. To save them all, the Scarlet Witch must gather the world’s greatest heroes…and unleash their inner darkness. Witness the Marvel Universe’s descent into chaos!”

Intresse: 3
Kommentar: Minieventet The Darkhold blev uppskjutet på grund av pandemin men är nu redo för seriehyllorna och kommer att bjuda på mycket mörk magi och en imponerande laguppställning av Marvels bästa magiker.

IMAGE COMICS

PRIMORDIAL #1 (OF 6)
Manus: Jeff Lemire
Illustration: Andrea Sorrentino

”In 1957, the USSR launched the dog, Laika, into Earth’s orbit. Two years later, the USA responded with two monkeys, Able and Baker. These animals never returned. But, unbeknownst to everyone, they did not die in orbit…they were taken. And now they are coming home.”

Intresse: 5
Kommentar: ”Mind-bending sci-fi collides with Cold War thriller” lyder hisspitchen till denna nya titel av radarparet Jeff Lemire och Andrea Sorrentino som alltid levererar något av det bästa man kan läsa i serieväg, såsom Green Arrow, Old Man Logan och Gideon Falls, och det finns inte på kartan att jag missar Primordial.

FRONTIERSMAN #1
Manus: Patrick Kindlon
Illustration: Marco Ferrari

”Frontiersman is coaxed out of retirement by an environmentalist group, only to find that being a spokesperson makes him a target for old and new enemies alike! For the superhero reader looking for more.”

Intresse: 3
Kommentar: Patrick Kindlon har bland annat författat serierna We Can Never Go Home och Shoplifters Will Be Liquidated samt (tillsammans med tecknaren Marco Ferrari) Patience! Conviction! Revenge!  Nu slår Kindlon och Ferrari ihop sina påsar igen med en alldeles egen superhjälteserie som beskrivs som en ”superhero odyssey for mature but uncynical readers”.

ADVENTUREMAN #5
Manus: Matt Fraction
Illustration: Terry Dodson

”TO THE GREATEST UNKNOWN
As New York City teeters on the brink of a strange armageddon, Claire tries the Adventureman mantle on for size just in time to face the monstrous evil that vanquished her predecessor—only he didn’t have a family like hers.”

Intresse: 5
Kommentar: Jag gillade första arcen av Matt Fraction och paret Terry och Rachel Dodsons Adventureman, ett pulpäventyr i modern tid som äntligen såg dagens ljus 2020. Det är svårt att inte förälska sig i Dodsons förföriska teckningsstil men mest minnesvärt är ändå Claires dynamiska familj som förmodligen kommer att utvecklas till ett alldeles eget superhjältekollektiv nu när Claire tagit över Adventuremans mantel.

DARK HORSE COMICS

MAZEBOOK #1 (OF 5)
Manus/Illustration: Jeff Lemire

”A lonely building inspector still grieving the loss of his puzzle-loving daughter receives a mysterious phone call one night from a girl claiming it’s her and that she’s trapped in the middle of a labyrinth. Convinced that this child is contacting him from beyond this world, he uses an unfinished maze from one of her journals and a map of the city to trace an intricate path through a different plane of reality on an intense and melancholy adventure to bring his daughter back home.

The only way out is in . . .”

Intresse: 5
Kommentar: Ytterligare en ny serie av Jeff Lemire som hamnar överst på önskelistan. Mazebook är tecknad av Lemire själv och hans stil tilltalar mig mycket, speciellt när det bjuds på melankoliskt familjedrama.

HELLOY AND THE B.P.R.D. 1957: FAMILY TIES
Manus: Mike Mignola, Chris Roberson
Illustration: Laurence Campbell

”Before they can track down an errant copy of Gustav Strobl’s Witchcraft and Demonology, Hellboy and B.P.R.D. agent Susan Xiang are sidetracked by a beset housewife’s pleas for help. Unraveling the mystery of an unwanted house guest may lead the occult investigators right to where they wanted to be, but also right into demonic danger.”

Intresse: 4
Kommentar: En ny lovande one-shot med Hellboy av Mike Mignola och Chris Roberson med Laurence Campbell som tecknare och färgläggning av Dave Stewart.

LAST FLIGHT OUT #1 (OF 6)
Manus: Marc Guggenheim
Illustration: Eduardo Ferigato

”With Earth rendered uninhabitable, humanity has chosen to evacuate to the stars. But with just twenty-four hours left until the last ark-designed to evacuate Earth’s residents-leaves forever, its designer’s estranged daughter goes missing. Marc Guggenheim (Arrow, X-Men) and Eduardo Ferigato (Self/Made) tell the story of an absentee father trying to make amends with his daughter during the end of the world.”

Intresse:
Kommentar: Inspirationen till författaren Marc Guggenheims nya serie Last Flight Out började med det stora rymdskeppet som figurerar i Pixar-filmen Wall-E och vad som skulle hända om någon missade båten innan Jordens undergång.

BOOM! STUDIOS

MAW #1
Manus: Jude Ellison S. Doyle
Illustration: A.L. Kaplan

”What happens when one woman becomes the real monster society has always made her out to be?  Dragged by her sister Wendy to a feminist retreat on the remote island of Angitia, Marion Angela Weber hopes to gain some perspective and empowerment… that isn’t at the bottom of a bottle.  But everything is horribly derailed after an assault on their first night there. The violent encounter awakens something in Marion she never imagined, triggering warped mutations in her body, and awakening a hunger she can’t bring herself to name.  When the townsfolk react with suspicion and violence, what unforgivable act will transform Marion into the very monster they’ve made her out to be?”

Intresse: 3
Kommentar: En provokativ skräckserie av journalisten och opinionsbildaren Jude Ellison S. Doyle och tecknaren A.L. Kaplan som utforskar ilskan hos kvinnor som fallit offer för samhällets förväntningar och som hittar kraften igen genom ett kollektivt raseri.

MÅNADENS TIPS

Valet står mellan två titlar av Jeff Lemire och jag väljer Primordial, mycket på magkänsla men också för att jag älskar Sorrentinos underbara bildlösningar och kompositioner.
