LOKI: AGENT OF ASGARD

(W) Al Ewing (A) Lee Garbett

Old God - New Trickster!
Kid Loki's all grown up - and the God of Mischief is stronger, smarter, sexier and just plain sneakier than ever before. As Asgardia's one-man secret service, he's ready to lie, cheat, steal, bluff and snog his way through the twistiest, turniest and most treacherous missions the All-Mother can throw at him... starting with a heart-stopping heist on Avengers Tower - and the death of Thor! And that's just the beginning!
Would we lie to you? This is LOKI, true believer - we're lying to you RIGHT NOW!

UNCANNY X-FORCE #9

(W) Sam Humphries (A) Dalibor Talajic, Adrian Alphona

 • The Fantomex Love Pentagram explodes!
•  With the truth about their sordid past fully revealed, can Fantomex, Psylocke, and Cluster look each other in the eye?
•  Every psychic ninja needs a vicious animal with no impulse control and a short temper to back her up...right?
•  Puck! Man, does that guy love jerky. Especially buffalo and bison jerky, dipped in Canadian whiskey.
•  Plus: a terrifying surprise villain from the X-past is definitely playing chess, not checkers, across Los Angeles
.

Iinitially, I was completely disinterested in this new incarnation of X-Force, despite the bad-ass line up. I'll admit, it was the creative team that put me off as the only thing I knew about Humphries was 'Fanboys VS Zombies' which, well, y'know. Regardless, I finally sat down and read the first arc and let me be the first to say I was WRONG! This book is friggin' rad! Psylocke! Spiral! Fantomex x 3!!! All slicing and dicing and dancing and dealing drugs and having strange three ways with clones of themselves--this book just doesn't let up!! It's dumb, fun and filled beautiful women fighting each other. What more do you want?

Ok, look, I know its the X-Men, I know how much crap I talk about them, but...damn. That first issue was friggin' gorgeous!! Coipel sets up what should be the definitive look for these fabulously amazing X-Women with a sense pizazz and style that you can't help but flip through the book 50,000 times, trying to understand the magic and skill of Oliver Coipel! Plus, Jubilee finally looks like an awesome anime kid instead of some 90s Disney movie reject from Southern California.

An old enemy shows up at the X-Men's door, seeking asylum from an ancient evil come back to earth. Meanwhile, Jubilee has come home, and she's brought with her an orphaned baby who might hold the key to the earth's survival...or its destruction.

That's right, Casey, X-Men hater supreme is throwing his chips behind the all adjective less, regular calorie X-Men book that brings together all of my favorite X-Women in one place!! Channeling the evolved 90's Jim Lee vibe (complete with the Shirow touch), Coipel puts together the most deadly, badass and sexy looking Super-Heroes to ever pull on skin tight latex! Look how friggin cool/hip/hacker 90's slick Jubliee looks on that sentinel head!! And Storm with her F'Ning EPIC mohawk--Psylocke with her butt shots and much much more!! Plus, Bendis isn't writing it Bendis isn't writing it!!!! Oh man, happy day.

YOUNG AVENGERS #1

(W) Kieron Gillen  (A) Jamie McKelvie

Legacy isn't a dirty word... but it's an irrelevant one. It's not important what our parents did. It matters what WE do. Someone has to save the world. You're someone. Do the math. The critically acclaimed team of Gillen/McKelvie/Wilson (with added Norton Sauce) decide to reinvent the teen superhero comic for the 21st century, uniting Wiccan, Hulkling and Hawkeye with Loki, Marvel Boy and Ms. America. No pressure. Young Avengers is as NOW! as the air in your lungs, and twice as vital. It's the book that knows Hyperbole is the BEST! THING! EVER!


Drop into the next level of super-hero comics with the most anticipated book of the entire Marvel NOW relaunch!! Gillen and McKelvie, the superstar team behind 'Phonogram', present a comic that truly embraces the NOW of that initiative by showcasing the next stars of the Marvel universe as real people rather than supporting characters living under the shadow of their namesakes. In fact this isn't even a comic, it's a mesmerizing power pop bubblegum song of transcendence that will shatter your assumptions of what the medium is capable of achieving! The future of comics is NOW and it reads like a Phil Spector wall of sound burst to the third eye!! RECOMMENDED BY CASEY!
