Comics podcast: Wild Cards, Titans, FX, Echo, Criminal
Kyle Roberts and Matt Price talk about several of this week’s new releases, including “Wild Cards: The Hard Call” No. 1, “Titans” No. 1, “FX” No. 2, “Echo” No. 2 and “Criminal” vol. 2 No. 2 in this week’s comic podcast. Some excerpts:
Wild Cards: The Hard Call #1
Kyle Roberts: Instead of being a superhero like they were born with their powers, it’s strictly science fiction.
Matt Price: There’s a couple different elements in play, it’s kind of a lot to take in if you’re brand new to the franchise, but if you’ve read some of the books before, I think you’ll like it.
Titans #1
Kyle Roberts: I don’t know a lot about DC, but this reminds me of the 80s Titans group.
Matt Price: I like the first three or four pages with Nightwing quite a bit, after that it lost its way for me. It feels like he’s trying to sexy up the team a little bit, most of the characters end up running around their shirts for at least part of this issue.
FX #2
Matt Price: This to me has a very old-school feel. I like John Byrne in his “Superman” era in the 1980s, up through the 90s with Next Men … I like this clean, very 80s style that Byrne has, and this feels almost like an 80s comic.
Criminal vol 2 #2
Matt Price: It’s a very dark, crime noir book. … It’s one of the best books out there.
Kyle Roberts: It’s kinda like a Sin City, almost like a Grand Theft Auto kind of thing, for the gamers out there.
Echo #2
Matt Price: I continue to be intrigued by the storyline, and (Terry Moore’s) art is as good as it’s ever been.
