SUPERHERO COMIC BOOKS AT THE GATE  

INDEX

<A Fantastic Foursome...|Avenging Heroics...>

 

The superhero comic book is banging at the gate of popular entertainment.

Too long kept out by self-doubt and historical misconceptions.

A new vanguard of talent is forging a permanent legacy, soon to be embedded in everyday life.

Are you ready for conquest?

Exciting Mutants

A reflection, written in 2004...

After two successful films, the X-Men are household names and now is the time to get into their monthly adventures with three series from Marvel Comics.

Dubbed X-Men Reloaded, some of the best writers and artists have been gathered together to bring you first class stories featuring different versions of the team.

Marvel has also wisely brought out a mini guide book X-Men Universe to bring you up to speed with all the characters.

Mutants have never been so popular!

First up is The Astonishing X-Men written by Joss Whedon and illustrated by John Cassaday.

Joss Whedon is the creator and writer of the Buffy and Angel TV series which was massively popular due to Whedon’s witty scripts and sharp dialogue.

Whedon's quality writing, infused to the X-Men will only serve to increase its popularity and increase it’s fanbase.

It’s ultra modern feel makes it a natural successor to Grant Morrison’s previous take on the team.

John Cassaday’s artwork is a work of genius to behold and brings the characters to life before your eyes.

The Uncanny X-Men is penned by the undisputed godfather of the X-Men universe, Chris Claremont.

The illustrations are provided by Alan Davis, another veteran of the industry.

Like a father returning home to his children Claremont gives his X-Men team that love that only he can.

Claremont first defined the characters that appeared in the recent movies.

Famous for his strong female characters, intriguing sub-plots and high adventure look forward to intense epics and emotional rollercoasters. Many of his stories have gone on to become classics in their own right.

Alan Davis’s smooth artwork gives this a classic feel and renders the characters with a solid authority, returning the title to greatness.

Chuck Austen writes the third title, simply called X-Men, which is drawn by Salvador Larroca.

Austen’s team focuses more on internal team dynamics and their personal lives, bringing a more soap opera feel to his stories.

Expect plenty of arguing in the ranks and romantic tensions aplenty.

Not afraid of a little controversy this series will have a sharp, cutting edge to it.

Salvador Larroca’s pencils are gorgeous and well defined.

He has a clear sense of dynamic storytelling which adds to the enjoyment of the book.

New X-men, features the next generation of X-Men set in the Xavier Institute of Higher Learning, which doubles as the mansion base for the X-Men.

Here we’ll see the trials and tribulations of the new students learning to use and control their powers whilst dealing with personal issues.

Written by Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir this series is illustrated by Randy Green in a slick, sleek style which enhances the energy of the narrative.

As always, creative teams in comic books come and go and fresh creators enter the mix to add more to the ever growing tapestry of the Marvel Universe.

Check them out for a great read!
