Outland Comics Newsletter: Outcries!
No. 69, Week of January 1, 2007
Happy New Year!
Welcome to Outcries! – It’s most likely New Year’s Day or the day after
when you’re reading this issue of Outcries – and with the New Year comes “New
Year’s Resolutions” – and that’s the idea behind our Feature of the Month for January. Here’s our New
Year’s Resolution: READ MORE COMICS. That’s one resolution that’s pretty
easy to keep – catching up on a title or character that you might have missed,
trying out a new title, or picking out some of those “must reads” that you’ve
always heard about. Now’s your chance! Start the New Year off right with
our Feature of the Month!

“Pick of the Week”: Iron Man/Captain America: Casualties of War. When it comes to big
company events, none are better than Marvel at putting out as many tie-ins and
one-shots as they can fit. Most of the time these are just cannon fodder,
having a good story but nothing really imperative to the main story.
Thankfully, this was not one of them. Though the plotline sounds horrible, Cap
and Iron Man meet up one last time to see if things can be talked out before
it escalates to the full war that they both know is inevitable. Through a
series of flashbacks we see a lot of hypocrisy on both sides of this particular
argument and yet we are also more understanding of why they have both chosen
the way that they have. My main reason for liking this as much as I did was
that Marvel has finally made me see why Iron Man and the registration
can be seen as a good thing. This is the first issue that didn’t make me want
to punch Tony in his face myself and for finally telling me his side of the
story, they get my pick.
Annihilation
#5. When
Marvel said they were changing the entire cosmic scene of their universe, they
weren’t kidding. In a series where we have already seen the death of Quasar,
Super-Skrull (though Skrull has already come back and they say Quasar
should come back in the last issue), and Thanos (Who knows if he’ll
actually stay dead) we can expect great things from the outcome. In this
particular issue, we see Ronan of the Kree unknowingly take a new
seat in the empire and, more importantly, we see the release of Galactus!
After he and Silver Surfer were taken down they have been used as a
power source for Annihilus’ Annihilation Wave and here we see Drax
finally free them only to be left with Galactus saying, “Know me, Annihilus.
Know me and know fear!” The rest of the issue is about Ronan. Mainly,
when you get me caring about characters like Nova and Ronan and
(believe it or not) Quasar, you have my full support. Here’s to seeing
the many deaths and a lot of destruction in the next/last issue.
