A KC COLUMN by KC Carlson

I’m just guessin’! I haven’t even seen any of these comics yet!

Age of X-Man: The Marvelous X-Men #1

Age of X-Man: The Marvelous X-Men #1 (Of 5)

Jean Grey! Colossus! Storm! X-23! X-Man! Nature Girl! Magneto! And of course, the amazing Nightcrawler! The perfect heroes for a perfect world! When danger threatens the world, the Marvelous X-Men set things right for the good of all. And no one dares otherwise.

Archie 1941 #5

Archie 1941 #5 preview page

Archie 1941 #5 (Of 5)

Archie Andrews — MIA and presumed dead! So, wait — if Archie dies in 1941, does that mean that thousands of Archie comic books published since then will just retroactively disappear? Yikes! My collection!!! Wayne’s collection!!! This time stuff is so confusin’!

Avengers #14

Avengers #14

War of the Vampires begins! Where is Dracula? And if the Avengers find him first, will he be friend or foe? I’m guessing that at least part of that will depend on if Drac was up all night — and if he was partying with Thor!

Batman #64

Batman #64

Batman and the Flash team up again. Although it doesn’t look that they’re on the same page. It probably doesn’t help that Batman was actually doing the autopsy of Wally West at the time, and it also turns out that he wasn’t actually fighting Barry Allen either. (I’m gonna have to have somebody explain all this all to me later. Again. Sigh.)

Daredevil #1

Daredevil #1

Relaunched with an outstanding new creative team: writer Chip (Not Enough Vowels) Zdarsky and Marco (Too Many Vowels) Checchetto! And during the character’s 57th year of existence! At least there’s only one Daredevil. (I think…)

Female Furies #1

Female Furies #1 (Of 6)

Starring Big Barda, Aurelie, Mad Harriet, Lashina, Bernadeth, and Stompa! All their lives, the Female Furies have been raised to be the meanest, most cunning, and most ruthless fighting force on all of Apokolips. So why are Granny Goodness’ girls left behind every time the men go to war? Oh, this doesn’t seem to be going well…. Stupid men… they’ll find out…

Old Man Quill #1

Old Man Quill #1 (Of 12)

Logan and Hawkeye were old first! But Peter Quill… formerly the Sensational Star-Lord… you know, the legendary outlaw… is old now. Can Quill and the Guardians pull it together before a deadly enemy closes in? Myself, I’m pretty curious about Old Plant Groot. We’ve seen him as a baby… what will he be like as a cantankerous elderly ficus?

Young Justice #2

Young Justice #2

Featuring an awesome all-female cover by Patrick Gleason! Inside the book, the team splits up to cover more ground when Robin (Tim Drake), Wonder Girl, Teen Lantern, and Jinny Hex join forces to help Amethyst free Gemworld from those who control it. Meanwhile, Superboy (Connor Kent) and Impulse are taken captive. But if this is really Superboy, why isn’t he putting up a fight with his friend and former teammate against the bad guys? Y’know, that’s a really good question! This title is much fun!

United States Vs. Murder Inc. #6

United States Vs. Murder Inc. #6

Murder, Inc. has gone to war with the United States — and the United States has lost! The president is dead, the vice president has quit, there’s chaos in the streets, fighting in Congress, farms are burning… but thank God our boy Valentine has a plan. It’s just another day in America! Mature Readers, duh.

WWE #25

WWE #25

AJ Styles has made plenty of sacrifices to make it to the top of WWE Mountain! Will it all be for naught when he encounters the Samoan Submission Machine, Samoa Joe? They don’t call it a Styles Clash for nothin’!
