It’s the titanic trio of the Timely Big Three — Captain America, the Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner — combined with Golden Age luminaries the Destroyer and the Whizzer in one all-out amazing series! Defending wartime America from Nazi airships, ape-men and anything and everything else the Axis can throw at them, the Human Torch and Toro burn up the comic page like it’s still 1943. Captain America and Bucky parachute into adventures from mad scientists to buzz-bombing Nazis. Meanwhile, the Destroyer stops at nothing — including a battalion of Hitler impersonators — to stop the Nazi threat. And the Pacific Theatre won’t be left waiting, not with the Sub-Mariner around! He takes it straight to the Emperor himself and comes back to clean up the docks while he’s at it! But before you speed away, don’t miss the Whizzer as he races through maddening mazes and thwarts the plans of kidnapping crooks! It’s comic-book adventure at its purest, so reserve your copy today!

Cover by GENE COLAN
The Man Without Fear faces his greatest threats yet in his fantastic fifth MASTERWORKS adventure! Matt Murdock has done battle with Marveldom’s most maddening villains — but when he meets the Jester for the very first time, the rules change forever. Framing DD for murder, the Jester sets all of New York on a manhunt for the Man Without Fear! But there’s another menace looking to push the stakes even higher: Starr Saxon, the mastermind who discovers DD’s secret identity! Then comes the all-time Stan Lee/Gene Colan classic, “Brother, Take My Hand!” — a story that marked the ever-advancing march of super-hero comics into the social issues of the ’60s by tackling the tale of a blinded Vietnam vet finding his way Stateside. It’s a no-question classic! There’s plenty of action, too, as DD jumps inside the ring to rub knuckles with Captain America, teeters over the city with Stilt Man, teams-up with the Black Panther and all the while struggles to rebuild his relationship with the lovely Karen Page. And as if that wasn’t enough, we’re rounding it out with the Stan and Gene’s Not Brand Echh side-splitter, “Scaredevil, Defeated by the Evil Electrifico!” Collecting DAREDEVIL #42-53 and NOT BRAND ECHH #4.

“The measure of a man is not in how he gets knocked to the mat, it is in how he gets up.†Those are the words blind attorney Matthew Murdock’s father lived and died by.

It’s the Ultimate Monster versus the Ultimate Machine in Ultimate Human! All Bruce Banner wanted was a cure. All Tony Stark wanted to do was help. But in typical Ultimate Universe style, human failings and political intrigue get in the way, leading to a primal battle between humanity and technology as the two titanic Ultimates square off in a ferocious test of opposing strengths. It’s a battle between the Hulk, the most awesome emblem of brute force in existence, and Iron Man, whose keenly enhanced physiology represents the bleeding edge of science and technology. And in any such battle, expect massive collateral damage! As the political intrigue and long-buried secrets are slowly revealed in writer Warren Ellis’ own inimitable way, expect to be shocked, surprised and overcome with the kind of seat-of-your-pants, comic-reading glee that is a hallmark of the Ultimate reading experience. Marking artist Cary Nord’s triumphant return to Marvel, ULTIMATE HUMAN is the next key chapter in the ongoing Ultimate saga!

Warren Ellis’ and Simone Bianchi’s run on Astonishing X-Men WAS ANNOUNCED at the 2007 San Diego Comicon!!!! They had an f*ing YEAR to get issues done. And now we have three good to middling artists on a moronic fill-in trick (the two issue “miniseries”). WHAT THE F is wrong with Quesada?! A DAMN YEAR!! That’s how long you had to get Bianchi’s sh*t together. And what will this three month grace period get the readers? Perhaps HALF AN ISSUE by Bianchi. At this point, the only Marvel Comics I’m collecting are written by Warren Ellis. Why is it that Quesada seeks to ruin every project by Ellis?! Steve McNiven was pulled off of Ultimate Secret. Salvador Larroca was pulled off Newuniversal. And now Bianchi wasn’t really assigned to Astonishing X-Men he was only ever meant to do three issues and out. As is obvious, I DETEST Joe Quesada, I think he’s a terrible manager and he and Bendis should be FIRED as quickly as possible.
I predict that Warren Ellis will be on Astonishing X-Men until Maybe the 9th issue. Then he’s leaving. And then so am I.
Still working on the anger issues, Cory?
Bianchi was announced as artist to only half of Ellis’ run in the first place and the artist admitted up front he was unsure of his exact output.
But that’s a distraction to why I wanted to comment: Why couldn’t Ender’s Game be adapted before I found out Card is so hateful to my particular lifestyle? I can’t give a dime to a product that in any way puts money in that man’s pocket any longer. It’s a shame too because I loved all the Ender and Bean stories and I’ll never see another.
Oh, and Cory? Do you have a website? I’m curious to see how this passion of yours reads when it gets to be long form, rather than the quick hits we’re forced to settle for in comment pages.
Oh, Baal, sweetie baby, I’m never going to leave this website. I’m here… get used to it.
Incredible Herc sounds good.
Cory, I didn’t suggest you should. I’m asking if there’s anywhere else I can get your opinions. I was being serious when I said I want to see longer posts of your thoughts with more time put into them.
The sarcasm rating for this post is o.
Re: The Astonishing X-Men filler mini –
I agree that Bainchi should have had more issues in the can before they even solicited Astonishing. However, since this is not the main X-Men book and the Cassady/Whedon run was also riddled with delays, I think the two issue mini to fill in story gaps is not the end of the world.
Could Marvel (and DC!) editors do a better job at reigning in the talent? Yeah, they could. Unfortunately, thanks to the creation and rise of Image, they’re too scared of pissing the talent off by telling them to get their $#!^ together. The editors are too afraid of driving the talent off to either their direct competitor or giving them the motivation to self-publish, especially with the “superstars.” Realistically, the big two could get the talent under contract stipulating a certain level of output to help with this issue, but this would probably have an alienating effect.
And under Quesada we clearly have an artist’s paradise with writers getting a little of the love too. Why bother turning your work in time if you know the company has delayed most of their output to accomodate artists before? When the EIC can’t make a monthly deadline with a year headstart? I prefer Marvel to DC most years but I miss timeliness and professionalism. Wasn’t Mighty delayed not so much because of Cho’s slowness but because he was doing other work when he should have been drawing his bread and butter series?
Oops. I forgot to use profanity. Is this criticism still valid?
There you go, the money is in the licenses and in the literary adaptations. (and in the case of DC, in videogames and NBC series). I loved Kidnapped and Ender’s Game and i Cannot wait to see them. I also heard that Marvel is planning The Electric Ant from Phillip K. Dick for February. It would be great Marvel reprinted the Hobbit comics from Chuck Dixon.
