News, Reviews and Opinions from the World of Comics” April 2008 Volume 12 #1 “News, reviews and opinions from the world of comics” April 2008 Secret Invasion The Skrulls are coming! Bendis has been building this up for a while, and it should actually pay off. We’re gonna get flashbacks to infiltrating Skrulls — seeing recent events through their eyes- -and this will be the conclusion of the ongoing story begun in Avengers Disassembled! So all the quality Avengers comics recently (man, remember when the Avengers was a crappy comic?) have something to do with the Skrulls, from the start of Illuminati’s secret battle with them, to “someone” ordering all the super villains busted out and Nick Fury getting forced underground. Should be a lot of action, but also some inter- esting revelations! But sorry, I doubt that Iron Man is a Skrull. Apparently he’s just a big jerk. Publishers Make Fun and Educational Comics for Actual Kids! Maybe this headline doesn’t sound as revolutionary as it really is. There have always been comics for kids. From the earliest days of Famous Funnies to the fantastic new Tiny Titans series from DC, children have devoured comics like candy. But the folks at Toon Books: Little Lit Library (Francoise Mouly & Art Spiegelman!) are releasing three new books tailor-made for emerging readers. The first, Silly Lilly and the Four Seasons, by French children’s author Agnes Rosenstiehl, takes readers through the seasons in a series of short strips perfect for 4-5 year-olds. I haven’t had a chance to read the other two, Otto’s Strange Day, by Frank Cammuso (Max Hamm) & underground legend Jay Lynch, and Benny and Penny, by children’s author Geoffrey Hayes; but if Toon Books can keep it up maybe some kids can fill in that empty space next to Owly on their comic shelves! 2 | www.bigplanetcomics.com Hotline: 301.718.1890 dard hype except for two key Everybody thinks I am, since that words: “Grant” and “Morrison”. guy put me in his documentary Nuff said. about curmudgeons.” Titans #1 Number of the Beast #1 The original For any of you who tuned Teen Titans out when WildStorm crash- reunite in this landed most of their so-called new series by “relaunches” (where’s my Wild- Judd Winick CATs and Authority, man??), or and Ian gave up when they did a weird Churchill.
