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?

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.

 

Secret War, Civil War, Ultimate War, and now this, a Silent War. Where the most power man is the one who chooses not to speak for his voice will level cities like zoids and mutants in Power Rangers. And now he wants what's his back.

Say, if you do try and go without speaking, the first day might be a little tough. Second isn't that bad. Third is where it all returns to the mind games and whereabouts the escape is likely. Last longer than that and it'll be all in the head about thinking of the words that will break the silence.

Things you do to not to have to communicate with a bib.

SON OF M told how Quicksilver stole the precious Terrigen Mists from the Inhumans and how Black Bolt retaliated by declaring war on humanity.

Now that war is about to break loose as Gorgon leads a terrorist attack on New York. Old friends become deadly enemies when the Fantastic Four are forced to defend their city against the Inhumans.

Silent War #1 of 6 from Marvel Comics

Speaking of another war, Civil War: The Return brings back the not so clear in the head Sentry in one half of a two halved one shot on the epic movement of the Marvel tableau.

It's like Little Miss Springfield time at DC as Tad Williams and Phil Winslade pass the mystical wand in The Helmet of Fate: Ibis the Invincible. Where in this one shot to a series of shots, the person chosen will find a run in of trouble with The Helmet. If it's all there.

Dead rise again with more zombies and this time it's from the Roadkill Zoo of Novaris Entertainment. That's right, forget the many zombie comics out there with humans looking for brains, the dead animals you see on the way down the coast claw back their revenge. Some people eat road kill. Just a tidbit there.

Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips continue the murk of crossing lines of morality in Criminal #4 from ICON.

Garth Ennis continues leading John Woo's 7 Brothers from Virgin Comics. Still on a journey where hope and salvation is the destiny that binds even strangers together.

Not a boot up from the scratch of the core, it's a strong spinning run still with Sonic The Hedgehog #171 from Archie Comics. Ian Flynn, Tracy Yardley and Jim Amash work the scene where it is still Robotnik and Eggman hasn't gotten his yolk all over the canvas.

Bearer of new news, looks like Sara Pezzini moves on from the witchblade in Witchblade #103 from Top Cow, Ron Marz and Adriana Melo. For every season turn, turn, turn.
