The Wallet Breaker that is 28th of August!

It may still be a week away, and I’m not forgetting the great comics that will be coming out this week but 28-08-2013 is going to be a wallet breaker and also a very exciting week especially in my opinion. From the Previews World list for this date my pull list is as follows;

Star Wars Legacy #6
American Vampire Anthology #1
Batman Superman #3
Batman Inc Special #1
Collider #2
Avengers Arena #14
Captain America #10
Deadpool #15
FF #11
Journey Into Mystery #655
Secret Avengers #8
Thor God of Thunder #12
Uncanny Avengers #11
Uncanny X-Men #11
Young Avengers #9

Why are some of these issues in bold? Let me tell you;

American Vampire Anthology #1: A must buy for any American Vampire Fan or fan of, this is quite a long list, Becky Cloonan, Jordie Bellaire, Jason Aaron, Declan Shalvey, Jeff Lemire, Fabio Moon, Gabriel Ba and of course the creators themselves Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla, this list of creators is certainly the reason I cannot wait for this title. A story written and illustrated by Becky Cloonan, who recently received an Eisner for her self-published comic The Mire, with colours from the brilliant Jordie Bellaire. A story from Jason Aaron illustrated by Declan Shalvey, Aaron has described this as the closest you will get to a Scalped/ American Vampire cross over.  I imagine Jeff Lemire’s mention on the creator list will involve a story written and illustrated by him. With the already proven and tested team of Moon and Ba with their own American Vampire story. This will be one of the highlights of the month.

Batman Inc Special #1: Another Anthology to be released by DC on the same day, at least they can put great creative teams together and initiatives together for some books the less said about Villains Month the better.  Featuring a story for each member of Batman Incorporated DC have pulled together another great list of talent for this issue. Plus Bat-Cow will get a feature which I think everyone will want to see. Less has been revealed regarding the creative team ups on this title however I believe I am right in thinking that Joe Keatinge, the brilliant writer of Glory, will be scribing one of the stories. Plus I also think the Declan Shalvey will be lending his art duties to this issue as well. Plus we get more Burnham art which you cannot complain about.

Captain America #10: This will be the conclusion to Remender’s first arc on the character. I have really enjoyed this Sci-fi Cap tale, it was a nice direction for the character after the heavily war and espionage lead Brubaker run. I look forward to seeing how Cap escapes Dimension Z and also this is the one comic left which I enjoy Romita Jnr’s art in, seeing as I am not to keen on Kick Ass, it will be a shame to no longer read a comic with his pencils once a month. This should be a thrilling conclusion to a Cap story I finally enjoyed.

Deadpool #15: Those who know me know I am a big fan of the art produced by Declan Shalvey, and teaming up with his partner Jordie Bellaire providing colour for his interiors you know this is going to be a beautiful looking book. Shalvey will be illustrating the story by the successful team of Gerry Duggan and Brian Posehn who's first arc Dead Presidents was one of my favourite Deadpool stories since I began reading Daniel Way's Deadpool way back during Secret Invasion. Featuring Captain America and Wolverine with a title The Good The Bad and The Ugly you just know this arc is going to be great!

Thor God of Thunder #12: Well Aaron has just finished his epic first major story for the God of Thunder, who successfully defeated the God Butcher, with Thor past, present and future. Now the Asgardian Avenger deserves a little down time. This issue sees the return of Nic Klein to a Marvel comic, after the sad news of Winter Soldier’s cancellation, which is reason enough to grab the issue. Klein has worked with this sort of character before alongside Ivan Brandon on Vikings for image comics, so I have faith that he will draw a fantastic Thor, I’ve been looking forward to this issue since it was announced in the solicitations months back!

Uncanny Avengers #11: Remender continues his Ragnarok Now storyline alongside Acuna on art duties. This became Marvel’s new flagship title post Avengers vs X-Men and the leader of the Marvel NOW! initiative. Remender has done a great job of constructing, deconstructing both the Team and the Characters. Stability has been brought to the monthly distribution since Daniel Acuna arrived on art duty, and what a great job he has done. With McNiven confirmed for art duties from November when Ragnarok Now really comes to a head you just know that this is a book to keep your eye on!

Young Avengers #9: One of the best books to come out of Marvel NOW! Young Avengers from Kieren Gillen and Jamie McKelvie, this has been a must read each month it is released. The top of my stack for its week this is a must read and is not put to the side for a future rainy day. McKelvie has been on fire with his art for this series, playing round with the format and how to layout the panels and Gillen has brought some wonderful character work to these teenage Marvel characters currently dimension hopping after an enemy who looks an awful lot like Patriot. Yet another issue I can’t wait to get my hands on!
