Pax out and a happy new future

Wednesday, December 26, 2007 - Soon Van

Pax Romana #1 (of 4)

Pax Romana #1 (of 4); by Jonathan Hickman

End of the year and the start of a new one right around the corner. Janus spins his heads looking back and forward. Tomorrow can only come when today goes into yesterday. And all that blather. But... comics ahoy!

"CREATE THE FUTURE, DESTROY THE PAST!" From the mind of comic book innovator JONATHAN HICKMAN, comes the exhilarating time-traveling epic, PAX ROMANA. The creator of THE NIGHTLY NEWS brings his unique sensibility to science fiction and the result is a visually stunning look at a new history of the world.

PAX ROMANA tells the tale of 5000 men sent on an impossible mission to change the past and save the future. It's the end of the world: Will they succeed, or will they fail?

Pax Romana #1 (of 4) from Image Comics

Other end of year comics to eyeball

Robert Kirkman presents Invincible Presents: Atom Eve presented by Benito Cereno and Nate Bellegarde. Represent! Presently.

Chupacabras aplenty on the Fantastic Four: Isla de la Muerte trip. Hunter guides of Tom Beland and Juan Doe heading down Puerto Rico way with the first family of the Marvel U.

One shot in the ring with Hulk VS Fing Fang Foom. Green on green and Peter David with apparently nobody on art from the Marvel solicit page.

Pack it up, pack it in, let it begin with Green Lantern/Sinestro Corp Secret Files. From a swagger of writers and artists on the green and yellows. Ring fingers that don't fing much. Thanks Otto.

Oscar Wilde's story on vanity and all sorts of debauchery pops on the treadmill of conversion as the House of Ideas goes Marvel Illustrated: Picture of Dorian Gray. Roy Thomas and Sebastian Fiumara painting with the oils on this picture.

Spiky trade of the week

Classic, but a good read, Sonic the Hedgehog from Archie Comics. Not for all, especially those into their muscles and codpieces. Great read for the emotion, connection and slapstick. Relaxing even.
