As a seasoned comic book enthusiast with over two decades of reading under my belt, I can confidently say that this week’s comics have truly outdone themselves! The crossover between Aliens and Avengers has been a dream come true for me, a fan who’s spent countless hours debating the ultimate showdown between these iconic franchises.
This week’s collection of comics was filled with unexpected twists! Join us for the latest episode of ComicBook Nation’s The Pull List as we dissect the major developments in Marvel, DC, BOOM! Studios, Oni Press, Image Comics, and other publishers. This week’s main comics had a significant impact in contrasting ways, and we dive deep into full-spoiler discussions for Aliens vs. Avengers #1 and Absolute Power Origins #2. It’s not only the big two publishers that get our attention; we also explore the emotional rollercoaster of Something is Killing the Children #40 and the X-Men #3, which focuses on Cyclops. To wrap things up, we share our thoughts on the charming debut issue of Sesame Street, providing a comprehensive look at this week’s notable comic releases.
A Brilliant Crossover
Fans of comics have witnessed many beloved series trying to combine forces across different stories through time, but few have made such a powerful debut as Aliens vs Avengers did in its initial issue. Writers Jonathan Hickman, Esad Ribic, Ive Svorcina, and Cory Petit immediately plunge readers into an intense, adrenaline-pumping adventure that swiftly creates a captivating universe within only a few pages. The Aliens are portrayed as a tangible menace that crashes onto Earth with the force of a runaway train, and the narrative never allows the reader to feel secure or at ease, maintaining high tension throughout the storyline.
1. The danger is equally captivating as the characters trying to resolve it, and Hickman provides some unexpected turns that caught me off guard. To put it simply, Aliens vs Avengers didn’t need to be so intense, but I’m glad it was – we’re all lucky for it. During this episode, we delve into everything, but believe us, you don’t want to miss out on this one.
Absolute Power: Task Force X Beginnings
Discussing topics you’d hate to overlook, Absolute Power maintains its winning streak with the impressive Origins #2. This issue delves into the early days of Amanda Waller’s first Task Force X team and reveals how their formation shaped the characteristics we now associate with the team and Waller herself. John Ridley, Alitha Martinez, Norm Rapmund, Andrew Dalhouse, and Steve Wands offer crucial insights into Waller’s development of her unique strategies. Additionally, we see long-term consequences that significantly impact the current storyline.
