Comics podcast: Secret Invasion, Young X-Men, Killing Joke, Anna Mercury
On this week’s comics podcast, Kyle Roberts and Matt Price discuss new releases: “Secret Invasion” No. 1, “Young X-Men” No. 1 and “Anna Mercury” No. 1, and take a look back with the “Killing Joke” hardcover.
Secret Invasion
Matt Price: (Writer Brian Michael) Bendis has been setting up hints for this for a long time; … really nice artwork in this … I think (Yu’s) a really nice choice for a crossover event. Probably leaves more questions than answers, but it’s a nice setup for the beginning of a crossover.
Kyle Roberts: It’s always very cool seeing so many different characters in one comic book. The art on it is very good. I like how they draw all of the characters. Sometimes I pick up a book, and say ‘I can’t even read this’ because I don’t like how Wolverine’s drawn or Spider-Man’s drawn. … I love the art in it.
Young X-Men
Kyle Roberts: Professor X is dead, Cyclops said the X-Men are no more, so he’s going to round up a new team. So that’s what this is about, Cyclops picking his new team.
Matt Price: There’s a cliffhanger in this book that we won’t spoil for you, but if you’re a longtime reader of the X-Men books, there’s some characters that you will possibly enjoy seeing.
Killing Joke
Kyle Roberts: The whole graphic novel is excellent, it’s very cinematic … it gets you in the head of the Joker, how crazy he actually is.
Matt Price: Alan Moore is considered maybe the greatest writer ever in the history of comics, and comparing it to other Alan Moore works, maybe that’s where ‘Killing Joke’ falls a little short.
Anna Mercury
Matt Price: It’s got a very nice (writer Warren) Ellis science-fiction feel, and there’s a twist at the end as well. If you like Ellis’ more science fiction works, like “Ocean” or “Ministry of Space” this is one you’ll want to check out.
