Reynolds Rap: New Releases December 09, 2009

Where Shawn looks at the New Releases and lets you know which books she is most excited about!

1) Daytripper #1

There is already some positive buzz surrounding this book. You may have heard Matt Knapik talking about it because it is by two of his favorites, brothers Gariel Bá and Fábio Moon. It is about an obituary writer who hates his job and is going through an existential crisis, of sorts. Rumor has it that there is a big twist in the issue and that could lead to the mystery of life. Sounds intriguing.

2) Muppet Show #0

I have waxed poetic about the Muppet Show comic more times than you can say “mahna mahna” so I feel as though it is my duty to point out the beginning of the Muppet Show ongoing series. There are also several more kids comics out from Boom! Studios this week: Toy Story #0, Cars Radiator Springs #4 and Mickey Mouse and Friends #298. Any of the Boom! kids books would make great stocking stuffers!

3) New Avengers Annual #3        

Clint Barton (aka Hawkeye, Ronin, etc) has been kidnapped by the Dark Avengers and it is up to the ladies of the New Avengers to save him. I’ve always enjoyed how Brian Michael Bendis writes Jessica Drew, Ms Marvel and Spider-Woman and the other women of the Avengers. Mike Mayhew’s art in this issue looks faboo. It has a realistic, painterly feel to it that I dig.

 

 4) Wolverine Under the Boardwalk One Shot

Set in Atlantic City, Stuart Moore spins a tale about murder and mystery. And I bet that Wolverine will be beating some people up. Who doesn’t like a good Wolverine-kicks-butt comic? Plus the art is amazing. I became an instant fan of Tomm Coker’s art after reading Daredevil Noir and I am excited to see more work from him.

5) Ghostbusters Past Present Future One Shot

A “Scrooge” hires the Ghostbusters to rid him of three ghosts who pester him every Christmas Eve. This reminds me of the episode of the Real Ghostbusters cartoon show where the guys dress up as the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future in an attempt to soften the heart of a grumpy old man. That was one of my favorite episodes! Granted I am a sucker for a Christmas Carol and have viewed just about every incarnation from Mr Magoo to the Flintstones to Ebby. I am going to sit down with a mug of hot chocolate and enjoy this comic tonight!
