Jane Foster & the Mighty Thor #1

/ / Comics

Seeking to take advantage of events hitting theaters in early July, Jane Foster & the Mighty Thor #1 offers the first issue of a story where Mjolnir shows up in Jane Foster‘s living room after Thor disappears from Asgard. Foster, who only imagines picking up the hammer here in a single panel, is overshadowed by other aspects of the story involving an masked villain brining together a host of characters to attack Asgard including Algrim, Ulik, Tyr Odinson, and the Enchantress. Our mysterious antagonist also attempts, and fails, to earn Hela‘s support.

Dark Crisis #1

/ / Comics

After all the various set-up and lead-in issues, Dark Crisis begins here with a memorial to the ten fallen members of the Justice League of America who perished during their fight against the Great Darkness. The issue jumps around a bit with Superman’s son struggling to create a new Justice League from the heroes that are left, Hal Jordan returning to Earth far from satisfied with Black Adam‘s recounting of events on how the Justice League died, and Deathstroke leading a mass of villains against Titans Tower to kill those who might step-up to take the place of the fallen heroes.

Shadow War: Omega

/ / Comics

Shadow War: Omega comes to a close here with Geo-Force revealed to be the killer behind the death of Ra’s al Ghul and the attempts on the lives of both Talia al Ghul and Deathstroke as vengeance for what Leviathan did to his home country of Markovia. I’d say the story ends rather than concludes as the epilogue to Geo-Force’s defeat feeds right into Dark Crisis (which is actually already started before this story wraps).

The Phalanx

/ / Comics

Inspired by the original run of Image Comics 30 years ago, writer/artist Jonathan Luna offers this tale of a modern day mercenary on the trail of villain she follows through a portal only to discover herself in 1992 with the chance to work along side the heroes she loved as a child. Even in the early panels which take place today, The Phalanx is so 1990s that it should come with some Ace of Base or TLC to listen to while you read the comic.
