Spider-Man/Red Sonja #1 (of 5); written by Michael Avon Oeming, pencils by Mel Rubi, cover by Michael Turner
Spider-Man and Red Sonja, on a roof top, in those kinds of outfits? Certainly not winter where they are right now...
The wise-cracking Wall-Crawler collides with the She-Devil with a Sword! Longtime Marvel readers know that these two legends have met before -- but that was just the warm-up! They may be from two different eras, but Spider-Man and Red Sonja have both faced the maniacal mage known as Kulan Gath. Now the sadistic sorcerer makes a play for power that will once again bring these two famous heroes together -- but will it be as friends or foes?
Writer Michael Avon Oeming (OMEGA FLIGHT, Red Sonja) and Mel Rubi (Red Sonja) -- plus series cover artist Michael Turner (CIVIL WAR) -- answer the eternal question: What's better in a fight, the proportional strength and speed of a spider, or cold, hard steel and a chain-mail bikini?
Spider-Man/Red Sonja #1 (of 5) from Marvel Comics
Speaking of others clad in a bikini, though not of the metal and instead of the furry kind,
Shanna The She-Devil: Survival of the Fittest. Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray and Khari Evans on four points for the series with modern day pirates, though no hint of the latest albums before release or the simultaneous look see of movies out now. Modern day!
Pirates be coursing about now with
Peter the Pirate Squid from Roman Dirge and Steven Daily. Eight legs and a patch over an eye a pirate squid make.
Drop those Rs right now with the
Hewoes from Bill Maus to come parody the day. Yes, on that show with those mutants and the Japanese kid who loves reading X-Men comics.
Evil comes round for a little visit and it's with Derek Ruiz and Dawid Straus on the
Legend Of Isis looking to see if they can survive the onslaught. Teeth radiated from the phone feel chattery.
All over with the clangy clang with Duncan Rouleau and
Metal Men. Eight bolts to nut down and they're up against a rather big French fry.
Big shoulders, tiny waists and a white picket fence with
Iron and the Maiden. Jason Rubin, Francis Manapul and Joel Gomez in a world of mobsters looking for love, revenge and a second chance.
Took a hint of glint in the eye the other day. And like the painting red on the house, it's a snap for the
First Born from Ron Marz and Stjepan Sejic. Sara Pezzini, the one time wielder of the Witchblade, now ready to be popping child.
Hardcover of the week
So nice we spot it twice. Grab a hold of
Immortal Iron Fist Volume 1: The Last Iron Fist Story Premiere in the hardcover format from Matt Fraction, Ed Brubaker, David Aja and Travel Foreman and chi that block out into smithereens. Say it again, "smithereens"! Now that's a great word.
Shanna: The She-Devil #1; story and art by Frank Cho
Scoring her own solo mini-series, Shanna -- otherwise known as the She-Devil -- seems to be on the up and up. At one time she was forever linked in the media as only the wife of her husband, Kazar. Now, Shanna's recent splash return to the limelight could signal that this fiery woman is on the cusp of bigger and better things following their mysterious separation.
Reports earlier in the week hint that the crown match couple of the Savage Land have been separated for some time now. Whether or not the idea to spend time apart was initiated by Kazar or Shanna herself is still to be determined. What is certain though is that with no longer any constant connection to her one time beau, Shanna will have more time to focus on developing her career as a force.
Covered in specualation and controversy over the design -- and at times apparent lack -- of clothes, Shanna recently escaped a gooey run in with Nazi experimentalists and a dinosaur's mouth. These two events as well as a few untold others are expected to feature as highlighted moments in the biographical story release this week.
