Kick-Ass #6
Finally after various delays, the sixth issue of the supposedly most exciting and controversial book hits stands today. This issue will start where it left off as Kick-Ass meets the deadly vigilante team Hit-Girl and Big Daddy.
Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. make a great team, creating a realistic world that has no place for superheroes but has one forced upon it with very interesting consequences. Millar as usual is at home when writing witty yet mildly disturbing dialogue and stories, while Romita Jr. is one of the best artists working in comic books today. Pick this up.
Invincible #61
After the invasion of the world by Invincibles from other dimensions masterminded by the evil Armstrong Levy, the world is in shambles and numerous superheroes are either dead or being hospitalized. Invincible works on rebuilding and must face the mysterious new villain CONQUEST.
Anyone who regularly reads this column regularly knows Robert Kirkman is one of my favorite comic book writers. He treats his characters with respect giving them long back stories and emotional connections with each other though he has no problems with killing them off. As seen in the last issue of Invincible #60, the biggest Image crossover, Kirkman is good when working with a diverse group of characters without compromising the story.
