Best Comic of the Week:
SWORD #5 – In the aftermath of the King in Black event, it’s time to resurrect the people who died fighting Knull on Krakoa. Magneto has requested that Fabian Cortez be bumped up the queue, but largely, it seems, in order to humiliate him in front of the Quiet Council. Cortez has never been an interesting or likeable character until Al Ewing got his hands on him, so I enjoyed this issue. I also like the way Ewing is building on events that have happened in his Guardians of the Galaxy run (Snarkwar), and is quietly taking over his own corner of the Marvel Universe. I believe he’s the best writer Marvel has right now, and put this book next to his Immortal Hulk. Weirdly, five issues in, we are still only getting glimpses of what Abigail Brand is up to, and my interest is building.
Best Comic of the Week:
Grendel: Devil’s Odyssey #5 – It’s been about a year since the last issue, but it’s all good, as I’m just happy to return to Grendel Prime’s mission, looking for a suitable planet to restart the human race. The latest candidate is a massive, planet-sized city that appears to have been fully automated, where the mechanisms that kept the city running are still working, even though all life has been extinguished. Matt Wagner has a real Twilight Zone vibe working for him here, as he takes a couple of issues to explore a science fiction concept. I like this series, and will forever think of Grendel Prime as my favourite Grendel. He’s also the coolest looking.
This ended up having to be a double column and a bit late because I spent the last two weeks in self-isolation after a Covid exposure. Now I’m back in the world (more or less – I’m under a stay at home order) and I got to catch up on two week’s worth of comics!
Best Comics of the Fortnight:
Beta Ray Bill #1 – I’ve loved Beta Ray Bill since I first saw him in Walter Simonson’s Thor comics, and have long felt like he’s criminally underused in the Marvel Universe. I was really happy to see that he’s getting his own miniseries, and that it’s written and drawn by Daniel Warren Johnson, who is an incredible creator. This issue ties in with the King In Black event, as Bill attempts to save Asgard from a symbiote-covered Fin Fang Foom. Johnson does amazing work here – Bill looks really cool, and he has a strong feel for the character’s tragic side. He also recognizes how he’s always stuck in Thor’s shadow. I enjoyed Johnson’s recent Wonder Woman Bla
