#IReadsYou Review: YEAR OF THE VILLAIN SPECIAL #1

DC'S YEAR OF THE VILLAIN SPECIAL No. 1
DC COMICS – @DCComics

[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]

EDITOR: Mike Cotton; Marie Javins
COVER: Greg Capullo and FCO
VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: Jim Cheung with Tomeu Morey; Alex Maleev; Stanley “Artgerm” Lau
32pp, Color, 0.25¢ U.S. (July 2019)

Rated “T” for “Teen”

DC Comics' “Year of the Villain” is a crossover comic book event that officially kicks off in July 2019 with Year of the Villain: The Offer.  Although the beginnings of the event have already been hinted at in regular DC Comics titles like Action Comics, on May 1st, 2019, readers got a first look at “Year of the Villain” a specially priced comic book.

DC's Year of the Villain Special #1 is a .25¢ special preview comic book.  It contains what are essentially the three opening or prologue chapters of “Year of the Villain.”  They are “Doom,” “Leviathan,” and “Justice.”  The final eight pages of this comic book comprise an article that offers text pieces, art, sketches, and a list of 20 individual comic book issues that lead up to the official beginning of “Year of the Villain.”

The following paragraphs include a brief synopsis and review of each of the three chapters offered in DC's Year of the Villain Special #1:

“Doom”

STORY: Scott Snyder
ART: Jim Cheung
COLOR: Tomeu Morey
LETTERS: Tom Napolitano
EDITOR: Marie Javins

Amanda Blake Waller, the leader of multiple clandestine agencies, including “Task Force X” (a.k.a. The Suicide Squad), has arrived at the White House for a meeting with the President of the United States.  What she finds instead is Lex Luthor and the Legion of Doom.  Luthor has an offer to make Waller and every supervillain on Earth.

I wasn't planning on reading “Year of the Villain,” but this tense, exciting, eight-page piece got me interested in this event.  I generally don't like comic book events, but...  Plus, there is a shocking ending, and I rarely can resist the lovely art of Jim Cheung, in this case, expertly colored by the great Tomeu Morey.

“Leviathan”

STORY: Brian Michael Bendis
ART: Alex Maleev
COLORS: Alex Maleev
LETTERS: Josh Reed
EDITOR: Mike Cotton

Batgirl has arrived in Seattle to join Green Arrow in battling Merlyn.  However, Merlyn is desperate to tell them something... until Leviathan arrives.  Later, Robin (Damian Wayne) has a shocking question to ask his father, Batman.

This chapter does not start off that strongly; then, it explodes.  Plus, the last panel with Damian offers an explosive surprise.  Oh, and I can't resist the team of Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev.

“Justice”

STORY: James Tynion IV
ART: Francis Manapul
COLOR: Francis Manapul
LETTERS: Tom Napolitano
EDITOR: Marie Javins

The Justice League is at the “Universe's End,” trying to save the Gorathian System from the void.  With so much mind-bending rescues to make, Superman announces that it is time to make the League grow.  Which heroes will get the call?  Batman has a simple answer.

If you are still in doubt about “Year of the Villain,” this eight-page treat will put those doubts to rest.  I think you will want to at least sample some more.  Plus, this story offers lovely Francis Manapul art.

DC Insider: Year of the Villain

WRITER: Andrew Serwin
EDITOR: Mike Cotton

There is a lot of information here.  The lists of pertinent comic books that readers will need to fully enjoy the beginnings of “Year of the Villain” will make preview comic book a must-have.

Review: SCARLET #1

Pearl created by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev

Scarlet is a comic book series created by writer Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev.  The series was originally published under Marvel Comics' “Icon” imprint, beginning in 2010 and concluding in 2016 with the eighth issue.  Bendis and Maleev have revived Scarlet at DC Comics, publishing it it under Bendis' “Jinxworld” brand.  Bendis writes Scarlet, and Maleev draws and colors the series.  Joshua Reed is the letterer.

Scarlet follows a young woman named Scarlet Rue whose rebellion against corruption ends up starting a new American revolution.  Scarlet and her boyfriend, Gabriel, have an ugly confrontation with a police officer.  After trying to frame Gabriel, a corrupt detective shoot both Scarlet and Gabriel, who dies.  Scarlet survives and then goes on a campaign against the corrupt Portland Police Department.  She films everything she does and posts it online, and her actions lead to a violent protest that eventually causes the devastation of Portland.

Scarlet #1 opens in Portland where we meet Scarlet Rue.  The city is practically like an American version of foreign cities that have been under siege (like Beirut, Lebanon in the 1980s and Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina of the 1990s).  Scarlet still shares her campaign with the world, but now, she is starting to wonder how much it is affecting the people trapped in Portland.  Now, her adversaries are about to make her an offer.

I did not read the original Marvel/Icon issues of Scarlet.  Honestly, I do not remember even hearing about the series.  Scarlet #1 2018 does a good job on catching readers up to speed on what has occurred thus far, so that new readers like myself are not lost in a fog of chapters past.  I like that Bendis has Scarlet narrate the story and even break the fourth wall to speak to readers.

It is not often that I dislike anything Bendis has written.  I am starting to feel that way about artist Alex Maleev.  I really like the bleak world that Maleev creates with his illustrations and colors.  Maleev presents a graphical narrative of a war-torn city that is edgy and stark without going full dystopian.  Maleev's graphics keep the story moving with a mean rhythm that is not slowed even by the sections of the story that are heavy with Bendis' exposition.

Thus far, I have read the first issues of three of Bendis' DC Comcs/Jinxworld titles, Pearl, Cover, and now Scarlet.  [I have yet to read the first issue of another Jinxworld revival, United States vs. Murder Inc.]  I can recommend them all to you, dear readers, as I am eagerly awaiting some second issues.

Review: PEARL #1

Pearl created by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos

Pearl is the title of a new comic book series from writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Gaydos, the creators of Marvel Comics' Jessica Jones.  The series focuses on an accidental assassin whose life changes when she meets another assassin who is like her in some ways.

Pearl #1 opens in San Francisco and introduces Pearl, who is an exceptional tattoo artist and also an assassin for one of modern-day San Fran's yakuza clans.  Then, at a coffee shop, Pearl meets Rick, who recognizes a tattoo on her wrist, a work of art executed by the legendary and reclusive tattoo artist, Iriguci.  The meeting, an act of serendipity or of fate, drags Pearl deeper into a world of violence that she is desperate to escape.

I can keep this review short.  I love Pearl.  Brian Bendis' writing is blunt and straight to the point in a way that reminds me of the late Darwyn Cooke's comics adaptation of Richard Stark's Parker prose novels.  Sparse dialogue and powerful confrontations drive this narrative.  Letterer Joshua Reed emphasizes the directness of the dialogue with his emotive lettering.

Michael Gaydos'a illustrations and graphical storytelling offer stunning background detail and beautiful facial drawings.  Gaydos also draws some of the most elegant figures in clothing that I have ever seen in comic books.  I did not know comic book characters could “wear it” so well.

Pearl #1, as a bonus, includes the first Bendis/Gaydos collaboration, which is a Batman short story from The Batman Chronicles #21 (cover dated: Summer 2000).  It is a cute novelty piece, but cannot match the power of the main story, the work of two now accomplished, veteran comic book creators.

[This comic book contains a reprint of the Batman “Elseworlds” story, “Citizen Wayne,” by Bendis, Gaydos, Janice Chiang, and Patricia Mulvihill.]

Review: DAREDEVIL #1

Daredevil created by Stan Lee and Bill Everett with Jack Kirby and Wally Wood

“Know Fear” Part 1

Daredevil is a Marvel Comics superhero created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist Bill Everett.  The character first appeared in Daredevil #1 (cover dated: April 1964).  Daredevil is Matt Murdock, a vision-impaired attorney who was blinded as a child after being exposed to a radioactive substance.  That substance enhanced his senses to a supernatural level and gave him a 360-degree radar sense.

Marvel Comics is giving Daredevil the comic book something of a reboot.  Daredevil 2019 is written by Chip Zdarsky; drawn by Marco Checchetto; colored by Sunny Gho; and lettered by Clayton Cowles.

Daredevil #1 opens in the wake of the events depicted at the end of writer Charles Soule's run on Daredevil and in the subsequent five-issue miniseries, Man Without Fear.  After recovering from grievous injuries and intense physical therapy, Matt Murdock returns to Hell's Kitchen.  As the story begins, Matt has already acted once as Daredevil (although apparently not in costume).  However, there is a new sheriff in town.

Straight outta Chicago comes Detective Cole North.  He has been tasked by New York City Mayor Wilson Fisk, formerly known as The Kingpin – the crime lord of New York City, to take down costumed superheroes in NYC.  When he dons the Daredevil costume for the first time in a long time, Matt may end up doing Detective Cole's work for him.

Daredevil #1 (2019) is quite a good start for the new series.  First, there is Julian Totino Tedesco's beautiful cover art.  Inside, Marco Checchetto offers his most disciplined compositions to date, with an emphasis on storytelling that makes the most of atmosphere and mood and characters' emotions.  Previously, Checchetto was good at these things, but his drawings seemed to emphasize style.  Sunny Gho's colors are beautiful and emphasize reds and blues to create a sort of rose-tinted Film-Noir look.  The artists' depiction of Daredevil's radar sense is also quite nice.

Writer Chip Zdarsky's storytelling here reminds me, in some ways, of writer Frank Miller and artist David Mazzuchelli's “Born Again” story arc in Daredevil (1964) #227-231.  It is also something of a spiritual heir to the last year of Frank Miller's original run on Daredevil as writer-artist/designer (with Klaus Janson as artist).  I don't know if Zdarsky's work on Daredevil will reach the great heights of Miller, but I like how Zdarsky emphasizes Matt's moral conflicts and his past, as well as emphasizing Wilson Fisk as being an existential threat to Matt Murdock-Daredevil.  Clayton Cowles lettering creates a nice rhythm for Zdarsky's script.

I was not looking forward to Daredevil (2019), but happenstance dropped a copy of Daredevil #1 (2019) in my lap.  I am glad I read it, and I am recommending it to Daredevil fans.

Avengers created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby

The Avengers are a Marvel Comics team of superheroes.  The team made its debut in The Avengers #1 (cover dated:  September 1963) and were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.  Known as “Earth's Mightiest Heroes,” the Avengers had an original line-up of Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Ant Man, and The Wasp.  Captain America, a 1940s character from Timely Comics (Marvel's precursor), joined the team in The Avengers #4 (cover dated:  March 1964).

With The Avengers #16 (cover dated:  May 1965), every member of the Avengers, except Captain America, quit the team.  Replacing them were three former villains:  Hawkeye, Quicksilver, and the Scarlet Witch.  Marvel Comics revisits those early years of the “new” Avengers in the new comic book series, Avengers 1.1.  It is written by Mark Waid; drawn by Barry Kitson (pencils) and Mark Farmer (inks); colored by Jordan Boyd; and lettered by Ferran Delgado.

Avengers #1.1 opens with “Avengers Assemble” as Thor, Iron Man, Giant-Man (formerly Ant-Man), and the Wasp take on the members of the Masters of Evil:  The Black Knight, The Enchantress, The Executioner, and The Mysterious Melter.  After that battle, the remaining original Avengers decide to quit the team.  Now, Captain America is left alone to deal with three new Avengers who have controversial pasts.  Now, an enemy is prepared to take advantage of this awkward moment in the history of “Earth's Mightest Heroes.”

I am a fan of Silver Age comic books, especially those published by Marvel and DC Comics.  However, I am not necessarily a fan of modern comic books that try to retell those stories in a faux-retro style.  [After all, Marvel and DC Comics often retell stories they originally published in the 1960s with a modern spin via remakes or re-imaginings.]

I am a fan of Avengers #1.1 for two reasons.  The first reason is writer Mark Waid, who always seems to have the Midas touch when writing comic books that retell stories from the 1960s or at least tries to recapture the spirit of those comic books.  I can't quite describe it, but Waid gets it right with this first issue.

The second reason is artist Barry Kitson.  His clean compositions recall the classic mid-century modern and “New York slick” aesthetic of classic 1960s Marvel Comics.  It helps that Kitson's inker for this issue is Mark Farmer, known for inking the pencil art of Alan Davis.  Davis' comic book art has a timeless quality that looks like it could belong in any comic book era, and here, Farmer makes Kitson's storytelling resemble Davis's.

I am excited about Avengers 1.1 (or Avengers .1)  As long as Mark Waid is writing and artists like Barry Kitson are drawing this Avengers title, I will read it, although I generally avoid Avengers comic book series...
