What If…? Galactus Transformed Spider-Gwen

/ / Comics

The latest of these What If…? Galactus one-shots each featuring Galactus turning a random member of the Marvel Universe into his new herald ask the question: What If…? Galactus Transformed Spider-Gwen. Aside from the concept being flawed, the whole point of Norrin Radd becoming the Silver Surfer was that he was a normal man beforehand. It’s the granting of almost unlimited power to a good man and then forcing him into a shitty job. If the individual is already super-powered, and you don’t deal with the crushing moral dilemmas of the job, then the concept falls apart.

Red Sonja #18

/ / Comics

The war of wizards and gods comes to a close in Red Sonja #18 as Sonja rejoins the fight and eventually comes face-to-face with Kulan Garth. Her first attempt to kill the wizard doesn’t take, but she is able to eventually put him down to the delight of the shadow powers he had forced under his control. Those powers give Red Sonja leave to return home with the cost that no one remembers her actions or heroism in the war, which, for the She-Devil with a Sword is no price at all.

West Coast Avengers #3

/ / Comics

West Coast Avengers #3 gives us an explanation for multiple Ultrons (including others we haven’t yet seen) along with the first confrontation from the Ultron prophet and the West Coast Avengers featuring their own Ultron, bringing the two face-to-face. Other than the backstory which adds some context to the current situation, there’s not much of note in the issue as the confrontation ultimately is left unresolved.

Spidey Super Stories #1

/ / Comics

Spidey Saturday takes us back to the very first issue of Spidey Super Stories which explored the origins of Spider-Man in the main story, properly introducing him for the new comic with ties to The Electric Company‘s Spider-Man shorts, while also providing some back-up Spidey stories. Skipping over the tragic aspect of Spidey’s origins, the story gives us the spider-bite, nerdy Peter’s lonely existence, the classic scenes of Peter testing out his powers after avoiding a car, and creating the costume and web-shooters to fight crime as Spider-Man. It’s a solid introduction for young readers.

Space Ghost #9

/ / Comics

Space Ghost #9 wraps up the Metallus arc with a battered, but not yet beaten, Space Ghost with Metallus while Jan, Jace, and Blip  take on the ships and robotic minions threatening to destroy yet another world. Rewriting Space Ghost’s history to make Metallus responsible for the death of Space Ghost’s own world and family (thus creating the spacegoing vigilante) ups the stakes in the issue (even if the tease of our  hero contemplating taking the villain’s life isn’t solid in a way for it to be possible to take seriously).
