The Ones #1

From the mind of Brian Michael Bendis comes this unusual tale of a group of people being called together by something of a prophet. What makes the group unusual is that each one of them were “the One,” a special individual in the time and place of their own culture. Some have aged, some are in the prime, and one is unsure why she was even included in the group. The reason for being brought together is either murder (which doesn’t sit too well with these heroes) or saving the world from the apocalypse (depending on your perspective).

The New Champion of SHAZAM! #3

Mary continues her investigation into the missing people in The New Champion of SHAZAM! #3 only to discover the number of missing is far greater than anyone realizes, but because most of the missing are homeless they aren’t garnering the attention they deserve. We also get introduced to Uncle Dudley and a scientist at Mary’s college who, giving the foreshadowing and Mary’s discovery about medical experiment dates lining up with missing people, certainly suggests the brain behind what is going on.

The Flash #282

Throwback Tuesday takes back to late 1979 to one of the first comics I ever owned featuring not one but two of my favorite comic heroes of all time. Set after the events of Iris West-Allen‘s death, The Flash #282 opens with the Flash escaping a death trap from the Reverse-Flash before sending the Scarlet Speedster on a wild goose chase in the future so his arch-nemesis can impersonate the Flash for his own purposes.

The five-issue Iron Cat series comes to a close with the not-at-all-shocking reappearance of Tamara Blake who shows up, still very much alive, just in time to help Black Cat and Iron Man turn the tables on Madame Menace. The finale also sees Tamara and Felicia work through their issues with each other, and both suit up in armor to give Stark time enough to beat his ex.

Instead, Chance loses a full day to former JLI member Rocket Red kidnaps Chance looking for answers about what has happened to his old friend Guy Gardner.
