| B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth — Return of the Master #1 (Mike Mignola variant cover) |

This week's B.P.R.D. Hell
On Earth — The Return Of The Master #1 continues the long-running
“it's the end of the world as we know it” story.
The world continues to
reel in the aftershocks of the war of frogs and the returning of the
ancients. The BPRD fights on all fronts joined by the world's armed
forces.
In this issue a rogue
scientist from Russia (it's always the Russians, ain't it?) builds a
doomsday cult in the mountains in an attempt to add to the
devastation causing havoc across the Earth.
Mass Effect: Homeworlds #4
features our favorite blue girl from the game, Liara T'Soni, and
gives her back story. A must for any fan of the incredible game.
Detective Comics Annual
#1. BATMAN vs. THE BLACK MASK.
Well, that pretty much
says it all right there.
We finally get the
throwdown many of us have been waiting for, as well as the first in
the series of new annuals for the DC NEW 52.
In Green Lantern Annual
#1, its the fate of the original Black Lantern and the effects of
this book will span the Corps and change it all again.
Justice League #12
features a superhero team-up of a different sort, with a hookup
between Superman and Wonder Woman. It also follows the JLA in the
continuing story of the origins of the NEW 52's Shazam. This book
continues to deliver some of the best JLA stories in years and is a
constant great seller at the shop.
Lone Ranger: Snake Of Iron
#2 continues one of the best Western comics to come along in years.
For fans of great Western tales, not to mention the original dynamic
duo of the Lone Ranger and Tonto, this is the story of the Lone
Ranger outnumber and outgunned by deadly outlaws as he tries to reach
his friend Tonto, who is stranded on a snow bound train with his own
deadly foes to face.
For those of you fearing
corny characters and storytelling ,let me tell you that you will not
find that here. You can't get more dire or serious a western tale
than these books can deliver. This is the famous duo set in the REAL
world of the Old West — violent, desperate and gritty.
Godzilla #4 brings us the
Titanosaurus! In the aftermath of the destruction of the old Earth,
the remnants of humanity continue the fight and the survival of a new
and terrifying world dominated by the most powerful of monsters. Can
the hand-picked team of specialists continue to battle and capture
these behemoths?
A desperate plan leads to
a dangerous and fateful decision, as well as an answer that humanity
may not be prepared to learn. Why have they come back?
Two beloved franchises
merge in Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who Assimilation #2.
The Cyber Men and the Borg continue their onslaught across time and
space. Can The Doctor convince Captain Picard to allow him to help,
or will the alliance bring more damage than the foes they face?
It's an excellent read and
a true geek freak out for Whovians and Trekkies.
In Skullkickers #17, the
boats a-sink'n, the monsters are a-comin' and all around the lads are
great-looking pirate women under the control of a deviant mental
tenticle monster from another dimension.
Sure, this sounds bad —
but it can always get worse. Come and get the funniest and most
original book on the rack. Skullkickers is an amazing read and a joy
to anyone who picks up a copy. I promise you'll laugh and most likely
piss yourself.
If you're a fan of
adventure, dungeons, dragons, buxom lasses and pixies bent on world
domination, then Skullkickers is for you.
Uncanny X-Force continues
to be possibly the best X title in the Marvel Universe. It promises
to surprise and never disappoints its readers.
In issue #30, after the
temporal mishap leads the team to a future that even they could have
never imagined, they now return to finish what they started. But are
they condemned to the fate of this future and at what price can the
future of mutants be willing to pay?
Go out and enjoy a comic
this week — hopefully from my shop!
Till next week!
