Comic Book Yeti Contributor Luis Godoy II drops his recommendations for the budget-conscious comics consumer for this week.
FLOPPIES - under $5
It's another week with some awesome comics and another week with multiple absolute reprintings.
Escape #2
Image $3.99
(W) Rick Remender (A/CA) Daniel Acuna
I’m not usually into war books, but with a creative team like this, it's hard to pass up.
From the Solicits:
Wounded, hunted, and running out of time, Milton Shaw has one shot left to change the course of the war: destroy the Titan Cannon before his own side drops the bomb. But as enemy patrols close in and memories of the life he left behind threaten to break him, the mission becomes more than survival—it’s redemption.
The Innkeeper #1 (One-Shot)
Antarctic Press $4.99
(W/A/CA) Naberna
Something about this just caught my eye. Maybe it's all those Final Fantasy games where you have to figure out how the Inn is connected to a secret.
From the Solicits:
A mysterious stranger arrives in the town of Sundweller to investigate a series of missing people. What dark secrets will she uncover from this town, and how will she deal with them?
Phantom #1 Mad Cave $4.99
(W) Ray Fawkes (A) Russell Olson (CA) Freddie Williams II
I’ve been waiting for this series since Mad Cave brought back the Defenders series. I have ever read the comics but I really liked the movie.
From the Solicits:
THE GHOST WALKS AGAIN! The Phantom returns! Created by Lee Falks in 1936, the Phantom is one of the first costumed superheroes in history, with untold influence on pop culture. Now, critically acclaimed creators Ray Fawkes and Russell Olson revive the character for fans old and new. When a violent gang of smugglers stubbles on an idyllic Bandar village, the peace that the Phantom has brought to the African nation of Bangalla will suddenly shatter. It will take all of the Phantom’s many skills — and allies — to restore it. The most exciting series of the year starts here!
GRAPHIC NOVELS - under $20
Spider-Man Shadow Warrior TP
$12.99
(W/A) Shogo Aoki
A Spider-Man manga is really intriguing and that venom is reminiscent of the Gwenom from Gwen Stacy: Ghost Spider which is a really sick design.
From the Solicits:
A cool new manga format for Spider-Man, one of the most iconic characters of all time! A reimagined Peter Parker, Miles Morales, and Gwen Stacy travel to feudal Japan to take on the Kingpin in this original manga from Japanese writer/illustrator Shogo Aoki! Travel to a parallel universe where the shogunate still rules Japan and the evil Kingpin, Wilson Fisk has fled America to establish himself as Governor of Edo. Spider-Man, Miles Morales, and Ghost-Spider are hot on his trail. But the Kingpin has a trick up his sleeve: He's brought an alien parasite capable of granting extraordinary powers. When a young man named Hyo accidentally bonds with the symbiote and seemingly transforms into the infamous Venom, things go from bad to worse! This new book is perfect for manga and super-hero fans alike!
Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale: Hulk aka Hulk: Gray
Marvel; $19.99
This is a reprinting of Loeb & Sale’s color series, Hulk: Grey, I’ve never read it but I’ve heard great things.
From the Solicits:
Before the world knew Bruce Banner was the Hulk. Before Bruce confessed his love to Betty Ross. Before the Hulk was green — there was HULK: GRAY. The explosion of the Gamma Bomb tore Banner’s life apart, unleashing the strongest creature on Earth: the Incredible Hulk! But no matter how powerful he became, his heart still could be shattered by Betty Ross — the daughter of his greatest enemy, General "Thunderbolt" Ross. The Eisner Award-winning team of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale offers their ever-insightful look into the foundation of Marvel Comics’ most popular heroes, unraveling the Hulk’s origin — and uncovering a secret that will change the way we look at Bruce Banner forever!
