007 #5

In the penultimate issue of the arc we see drastic actions by Bond, including his apparent resignation from MI6. Or do we? 007 #5 offers the twist you’ve been waiting for explaining both Bond’s endgame with Nassar and his role with helping Myrmidon (or not so much helping, but delivering them into the clutches of the authorities).

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #2

The second issue of the second volume of The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries is notable for setting up the opportunity for Daphne Blake to stand-in for Batgirl and help the city fight off the latest attack by Poison Ivy who has poisoned nearly everyone in Gotham including Barbara Gordon. Not only does The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #2 offer us Daphne suited up as Batgirl, and an introduction to the Clock Tower, but Barbara working behind-the-scenes offering support as Oracle. Gotta admit, that’s pretty cool.

Mary Jane & Black Cat #1

I’ll admit to being a bit lost at the opening of Mary Jane & Black Cat #1 where apparently Ben Reilly is now a villain again and going by a new name (meaning Marvel has somehow managed to screw up the one thing needed from the character – swinging through New York as the Scarlet Spider – yet again. Goddamn Marvel, it’s not that hard!). Oh, and Mary Jane also has super-powers now?

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #300

A comic 40 years in the making, G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #300 wraps up Larry Hama’s continuation of his Marvel Comics run which moved over to IDW in May 2010. IDW’s run had its ups-and-downs and controversial stories including the death of Snake Eyes. To no surprise Hama wraps up the run (but not the full story) with the return of Snake Eyes who is brought back to life by Dr. Mindbender‘s experiments only to immediately break out of Cobra’s control and help the Joes win on Cobra Island.

Zorro gets his own Christmas one-shot with Zorro: Feliz Navidad which offers three separate Zorro tales with holiday themes fans may enjoy (although there’s no must-read story here). On Christmas Eve our hero fights the soldiers and Don Alvarez who have stolen the Christmas presents from the pueblo in “The Fight Before Christmas” which ends with Zorro delivering the presents to the children.
