For mature readers
Shipwreck created by Warren Ellis
Chapter 1: “Argur”
Shipwreck is a new comic book series created by Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, Injection). Published by AfterShock, this six issue miniseries is written by Ellis; drawn by Phil Hester (pencils) and Eric Gapstur (inks); colored by Mark Englert; and lettered by Marshall Dillon. Shipwreck focuses on the sole survivor of a very unusual and very secret shipwreck.
Shipwreck #1 (“Augur”) introduces Dr. Jonathan Shipwright, who might be dead or dreaming or on a mission. He awakens on a rocky plain and makes his way to a decrepit diner where he meets an “Inspector.” The man has lots to say, including that Shipwright's shipwreck involved a boat voyaging from another planet... wrecked by a saboteur... whom Shipwright must find.
Over the last few years of reading several #1 issues of comic books written by Warren Ellis, I have often found myself intrigued and sometimes bored. I was intrigued by Injection (Image Comics), which paid off in a fantastic comic book. I thought the first issue of Ellis' recent Moon Knight comic book for Marvel was dull, but that turned out to be a gem of a six-issue miniseries.
You know, in the past, I have earned ire for suggesting that many comics, including some written by Warren Ellis, would not be published if they were the creation of little-known or previously unpublished comic book creators. The truth of the matter is that over the last few decades some comic book writers have built enough of a following or written enough popular comic books that practically any vanity project they propose finds a publisher among the independents, such as Image Comics and, now, apparently AfterShock Comics.
I don't know what the fuck is going on with Shipwreck. It might turn out to be a fantastic read in collected form, but as a first issue, it's... I don't know what to call it because there isn't enough to declare it good or bad. It simply is, meaning it's there for you to read. I can't even say I'm intrigued. Oh, well. Whatever. Nevermind. Maybe, it's just me.
Okay, I get. That's how things work. I'm sure AfterShock was quite excited to get something from Warren Ellis. They were certainly more excited than Guy Ritchie was. Even the art for Shipwreck leaves a lot to desire, although the cover is quite nice.
You know, I'm trudging through Joe Hill's recent novel, The Fireman. It is clearly the work of a famous author's son, meaning that the book's publisher, William Morrow, would not publish this book if it had been written by an unpublished author, especially if he or she were not seeded from a famous author's balls. Yeah, Joe Hill is Joesph Hillstrom King, one of Stephen King's progeny.
I am certain that neither AfterShock nor any other major independent publisher would publish Shipwreck if it were produced by an African-American author or by a Latino not named Los Bros. Hell, I don't think the indies were knocking themselves out to publish original or creator-owned works by the late Dwayne McDuffie. But this...
Oh, well... on to the next creation of White privilege. I don't know what I expected from Shipwreck #1, but yeah, I am surprised that this is the reaction I got from it.

Review: MASTER KEATON: The Perfect Edition, Volume 12
VIZ MEDIA – @VIZMedia
CARTOONIST: Naoki Urasawa
STORY: Hokusei Katsushika, Takashi Nagasaki, and Naoki Urasawa
TRANSLATION/ENGLISH ADAPTATION: John Werry
LETTERS: Steve Dutro
EDITOR: Amy Yu
ISBN: 978-1-4215-8380-8; paperback (September 2017); Rated “T+” for “Older Teen”
322pp, B&W with some color, $19.99 U.S., $22.99 CAN, £12.99 U.K.
VIZ Media has completed its initiative to publish Master Keaton in English for the first time. This is one of the early works from award-winning mangaka, Naoki Urasawa. Master Keaton was first published beginning in the late 1980s and was created and drawn by Urasawa, who co-produced the story with Hokusei Katsushika and frequent collaborator, Takashi Nagasaki.
The English-language version of Master Keaton is a 12-volume, graphic novel series, published in a deluxe format called the “Perfect Edition.” Each volume includes a few pages of full-color material to go along with the black and white comics. VIZ Media began publishing Master Keaton quarterly under the VIZ Signature imprint in December 2014.
The hero of Master Keaton is Taichi Hiraga Keaton, the 30-something son of a Japanese zoologist and an English noblewoman and mathematician. Although Keaton is an archaeology professor, he does not have a job at a university. Thus, most of the series' action focuses on Keaton's job as a part-time insurance investigator. Known for his successful and unorthodox methods of investigation, Keaton's abilities are based on his Oxford education in archaeology and also on his time as a member of the British elite special forces, the S.A.S. (Special Air Service). Keaton uses his knowledge and combat training to uncover buried secrets, to thwart would-be villains, to pursue the truth, and sometimes just to lend a helping hand.
Master Keaton: The Perfect Edition, Vol. 12 (12 chapters) opens with the story, “The Scholar's Day.” Keaton is on the verge of finally getting a job at a university, but he discovers that his superiors are quite disappointing. Then, Keaton learns of the recent death of his mentor, Professor Urey W. Scott. It was through Prof. Scott that Keaton came to believe European civilization was born on the plains around the Danube river. Scott may have left something behind for Keaton, but the professor's daughter, Maggie Scott, is not impressed with Keaton.
Later, Keaton heads to Romania to investigate a car theft and smuggling ring. The case seems like providence to Keaton, as Prof. Scot's final work may have discovered in Romania the proof for he and Keaton's Danube theories. However, Keaton becomes involved in a conspiracy that ties into Romania tumultuous recent history, and his quest to help an orphaned boy may cost Keaton his own life at the place that could provide the answers he seeks. On the lighter side, Keaton's daughter, Yuriko, makes plans to attend Oxford, like her father, and is laser-focused on her future... until a young man with bad luck captures her interest.
The Master Keaton manga has come to an end with the publication of the twelfth graphic novel in its English-language publication. And as it was for the end of 20th Century Boys and Pluto, I am having a difficult time accepting that the series has ended. Dammit, I want more!
Master Keaton: The Perfect Edition Volume 12 offers some of the best of what has become familiar in this series. We get international intrigue filled with murder, secret police, vicious killers, people in need of a hero, and buried treasure. There is some nice family comedy featuring Keaton's daughter and his father, Taihei Hiraga, and some surprisingly entertaining workplace drama featuring a longtime colleague, and old friend/rival, and a newcomer. As sad as I am about the ending, at least I know that Keaton is leaving us behind to do what he has wanted to do for a long time.
Hopefully, Master Keaton will remain in print for a long time to come, but it is also available on various platforms for readers who prefer to read digital manga.

Review: Star Wars: MACE WINDU #1
MARVEL COMICS – @Marvel
[This review was originally posted on Patreon. Visit the "Star Wars Central" review page is here.]

INKS: Roberto Poggi
COLORS: Guru-eFX
LETTERS: VC's Joe Caramagna
COVER: Jesus Saiz
VARIANT COVERS: Russell Dauterman; Rahzzah; Javier Rodriguez

Rated “T+”
“Book 1, Part 1”
The Jedi Knight and Jedi Council member, Mace Windu, was introduced in the film, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999). Although, Windu has appeared in numerous Star Wars novels, even being the lead character in one, he has never headlined his own comic book series.
That changes with the new five-issue comic book miniseries, Star Wars: Mace Windu (which is apparently also known as Star Wars: Jedi of the Republic – Mace Windu). The series is written by Matt Owens; drawn by Denys Cowan (pencils) and Roberto Poggi (inks); colored by Guru-eFX; and lettered by Joe Caramagna.
Star Wars: Mace Windu #1 opens immediately after the events depicted in the film, Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002). The Clone Wars have begun, and while the Jedi have been the peacekeepers of the galaxy for over a thousand generations, they now find themselves in a new role. The Jedi Knights are now generals in the Army of the Republic.
Mace Windu has mixed feelings about fighting in a war, but, like the other Jedi Knights, he must make peace with this new role, lest he be swallowed up by the tide of this war. Now, Mace must lead a small contingent of Jedi: fellow council member, Master Kit Fisto; the blind Jedi, Prosset Dibs; and the recently knighted Jedi and pilot, Rissa Mano. Their mission will take them to the Outer Rim, specifically to the jungle planet, Hissrich, where they will monitor their Clone War antagonist, the Separatists. However, this is a dangerous and wild world, and Windu and company are unaware of the true danger they will find on Hissrich.
I have been waiting for a Mace Windu comic book for well over a decade, and in the span of a year Marvel Comics has given me both a Lando Calrissian and a Mace Windu comic book. Yep, it's like Marvel did it just for me. And yes, I am pleased as punch that the lead artist on this Mace Windu comic book is the incomparable Denys Cowan.
From the fierce cover to the spectacular interior art by Cowan and inker Roberto Poggi, Mace Windu offers graphical storytelling of striking images (especially the first page) and explosive action. The vivid coloring by Guru-eFX makes the art seem to pop off the page. Matt Owens' story balances the philosophical conundrum the Clone Wars has caused the Jedi with the energetic sci-fi/fantasy action that we expect of Star Wars.
Star Wars: Mace Windu #1 gives the series a good start. If the other first issues of solo miniseries (like the Han Solo and Lando series) are any indication, what follows Mace Windu #1 will be a blast.
