Titans #22

/ / Comics

A new arc begins here beginning with a flashback to Absolute Power and explaining it was Terra who restored and freed Deathstroke during Amanda Waller‘s reign of tyranny. Jumping forward, we don’t get a confrontation between the Titans and their deadliest foe, instead we get the group (with Vanadia) looking over a crime scene where Nightwing reconstructs the events of a prison break (“Boy-Wondering” as Starfire calls it) providing the action of the issue in another series of flashbacks.

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Silent Missions (Beach Head)

/ / Comics

Honoring the original “Silent Interlude” issue from G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #21 from 1984, Image and Skybound are putting together a series of silent issue one-shots featuring different characters. While I didn’t enjoy it as much as G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Jinx #1, this one-off issue featuring a wounded Beach Head crashing down in a DMZ and being helped by a local woman and her child who he in turn helps with Cobra comes for him, has some nice moments by working around the need for foreign dialogue in an issue without any dialogue and then saving most of the action until the end with the Joe fighting to hold out long enough for his friends to arrive.

Uncanny X-Men #13

/ / Comics

A new four-part arc kicks off in Uncanny X-Men involving both the Outliers and flashbacks to a mutant in the pre-Civil Rights era named Henrietta Benjamin who travels from Chicago down south to Louisiana. While both are interesting, and very much separate, it’s a bit unclear how to stories fit together yet. However, they do involve Haven House and the bizarre tomb known as the Artery which Deathdream leads his friends to in the middle of the swamp (where they also encounter another familiar face). Somehow, I’m guessing Henrietta’s fate will play a role in where the Outliers go from here.

Fire & Ice: When Hell Freezes Over #1

/ / Comics

A follow-up to Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville, a new mini-series kicks off with Fire & Ice: When Hell Freezes Over #1 setting the two heroes (who are struggling with their swapped powers) in New Kooey. Most of the issue involves showcasing the town and Ice struggling with not understanding her new more destructive fire powers. Fire seems a bit more in control but at a loss on what to do with her new ice-based powers.
