SKAAR: SON OF HULK, and THE ETERNALS begin this week!
Two very promising new Marvel titles will be debuting this week, Skaar: Son of Hulk, written by Greg Pak (Incredible Herc, and Planet Hulk fame!), and The Eternals, with gorgeous art by Daniel Acuna (please, please, give this newcomer's art a look, he has not done a lot yet, but from the pages I've seen of this title, it looks amazing). Skaar: Son of Hulk basically gives Marvel an excuse to tell us more Planet Hulk stories, but I have no complaints with that. While WWH may have not been top notch, Planet Hulk was one of the best Marvel storylines of 2006, in my opinion! If you haven't read Planet Hulk, now's a great time to pick up the trade paperback! Here's a link to a Newsarama interview with Greg Pak about Skaar: Son Of Hulk.
The other big new Marvel title this week is the Eternals. When I first read about The Eternals debuting with an ongoing series, I was a little unimpressed, but after having read some preview pages, hearing about some of the big concepts Marvel has planned, and seeing the gorgeous interior art, I think this one's going to be a surprise hit. The story picks up where Neil Gaiman's Eternals mini-series left off, but it looks to deliver a little more action than the limited series. Here's a link to a few preview pages of the series, check it out!
SECRET INVASION TIE-INs!
We got two BIG Secret Invasion tie-ins for you guys this week, along with a handful of second prints (with brand new covers)! The first one being Captain Britan and the MI-13 #2. This limited mini-series that ties in with the events of Secret Invasion sold out quick with the first issue, and after having read it, I could see why. The series is basically spotlighting just how the invasion is affecting England, and the rest of Europe, and in issue #2, the Excalibur sword comes into play. All this and a beautiful Bryan Hitch cover!
The other big Secret Invasion tie-in for this week is Secret Invasion: Who Do You Trust? This one-shot features a five stories about different characters and the impact of the Secret Invasion on them. The Beast and Wonder Man throw down, Abigail Brand (hot off her appearance in Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men run) does some skrull-hunting, the Agents of Atlas come into play, and here's the one that a lot of you'll be wanting to see: some clarity on just what the heck is going on with Captain Marvel!
Also, we have second prints of Mighty Avengers #13, Secret Invasion #2, and third prints of Secret Invasion #3. There's also second prints of Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas and Invincible Iron Man #1 arriving this week (and if you haven't read either of those, you need to! I didn't really care much about Iron Man before the film, and these comics are really keeping the momentum going on the character).
DC COMICS: Green Lantern Corps #25, Absolute Sandman v.3, DC Trinity #2, and Salvation Run #7
Green Lantern fans, make sure you snag this one. The big throwdown between the Corps and Mongul begins in this issue, and the origins of the Black Mercy are revealed. You better believe that this is just the opening of the can of worms that will lead into next year's Blackest Night.
Also dropping this week is the second issue of Trinity, and the finale to Salvation Run in issue #7. And for all you Neil Gaiman buffs, the Absolute Sandman v.3 collection will be arriving as well!
