Yes, the guy who's made more comebacks than the 49ers is at it again... We could not be happier!!!
Y'see Bucky as a character is a real frog favourite, so we cannot wait for BUCKY BARNES WINTER SOLDIER #1!
Especially after ORIGINAL SIN, the book that basically acted as a job interview for Bucky to become the Space Ranger we're going to see in his latest role.
Let's not forget ORIGINAL SIN saw him chopping off the head of the would be job interviewer, Nick Fury!
So do we think a character that probably works best in quite grounded espionage stories can carry a book that's going to take us throughout the universe?
Yes we do! C'mon we're in very safe hands here with Ales Kot (SECRET AVENGERS/ ZERO) writing and Marco Rudy, who's art blew us away on MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN and the recent, wonderfully trippy NEW AVENGERS ANNUAL.
Marvel really do seem to have thought this team through, Kot can handle the espionage and piece building needed to make this kind of book fly and Rudy's art will be amazing at introducing us to new galaxies!
Good old Bucky will do the rest!
So MULTIVERSITY #1 was all kinds of AWESOME, nuts and pretty much everything we wanted it to be…
Which means Mr Morrison has a wee bit of a task on his hands with issue #2, or has he found a clever way around it by issueing the 2nd chapter of his personal 'last word on super hero comics' as a stand alone one-shot?
But it's a stand alone one-shot that is the second chapter to MULTIVERSITY... Confused? Yep so are we and that's without even reading the book!
So why are we so excited? It's the 2nd part to MULTIVERSITY, c'mon how could we not be?
MULTIVERSITY THE SOCIETY OF SUPER-HEROES #1 promises us a trip to Earth-20 starring a Society of Super Heroes unlike anything you've seen before!
Pulp Super Hero action with a post-modern twist and Earth-40 counterparts, yes folks Grant Morrison's epic of 52 Earths continues.
And looks like it's going to get even more nuts!!!
At this point we cannot guarantee more Captain Carrot in this book…
Yes, usually comics that come from a movie franchise aren't the ones that get us all excited but this one is different... This one is PROMETHEUS!Oh yes folks a direct continuation of the great Ridley Scott's great PROMETHEUS is hitting the frog shelves in PROMETHEUS FIRE AND STONE #1
So why are we so excited about this book?
Apart from it continuing one of THE greatest sci-fi ongoing stories of all time?Well it's also the first issue in a blockbuster crossover event!
And it's from Eisner Award-nominated creative team of Paul Tobin and artist Juan Ferreyra who you may recall from their work on the chillingly wonderful COLDER!
And that Frog friends is more than enough for us!
We're willing to bet this is going to be a treat for fans of the franchise and for the newbies... Hell for anyone who likes a good yarn done properly!
