Comics shipping 4/09/08
Looks like a good week, with alternative takes on superheroics and popular crossover talent. George R. R. Martin’s supercharacters from the “Wild Cards” series return to comics in the “Hard Call” miniseries. Meanwhile, Batman goes manga in “Death Mask.” Joss Whedon and Joe Hill fans can celebrate new issues of “Serenity” and ”Locke and Key.” More commentary after the break.

Old-school superheroics are expected here, as Wayne Osborne and John Byrne tell the story of FX, a young man gifted with imagination-based powers. The first issue of this was better and more fun than I expected — John Byrne fans of the 1980s, or those looking for a comic to read with their kids, I encourage you to check this one out.

GEORGE R R MARTINS WILD CARDS #1 (OF 6) HARD CALL
Very excited about this one. By Daniel Abraham and Eric Battle. Based on the anthology novels edited by George R.R. Martin. Info from Dabel Brothers:
In 1946, an alien virus was unleashed that changed the world forever, and people who were affected made their draw. Most drew the Black Queen and died horribly. Almost everyone who survived drew the Joker, and became deformed, broken, hated and feared. But a handful drew the Ace, and gained super powers that allowed them to achieve almost anything the mind can conceive – both in dreams and in nightmares.
Sixty years later, an ace named Croyd Crenson, better known as “The Sleeper,” is framed for the murder of a young nurse in Jokertown. And as it turns out, the killer is another ace, with the ability to walk through walls!Meanwhile a group of teenagers in Colorado accidentally activate the dormant Wild Card Virus, causing the entire town of Whiteoak to experience the effects of the virus. Most draw the Black Queen, but emergency crews will find themselves faced with two people who have drawn the ace.
