New Comic Day 3.2.2011

Here we go...

Brightest Day #21 $2.99
Written by GEOFF JOHNS & PETER J. TOMASI
Art by IVAN REIS, PATRICK GLEASON,
ARDIAN SYAF, SCOTT CLARK & JOE PRADO
Covers by DAVID FINCH
1:10 Variant covers by IVAN REIS

As the end of BRIGHTEST DAY approaches, our returned heroes and villains begin converging in one area as the ultimate protector reveals itself against the ultimate menace!

No, wait...are you actually going to, y'know, get to the point of this story!?!

Praise the great spaghetti monster.

Green Lantern #63 $2.99
Written by GEOFF JOHNS
Art and Cover by DOUG MAHNKE
& CHRISTIAN ALAMY
1:10 Variant Cover by GENE HA

In this stunning prologue to the "War of the Green Lanterns," an unearthly alliance is made, Hal Jordan and Sinestro make a difficult sacrifice, and the power of Parallax grows!

But, wait...what about Brightest Day? That's supposed to be a Green Lantern-based crossover. I mean it's right in your damn oath! "In brightest day, in blackest night..." come on, people! It's like Johns just gave up on Brightest Day in this book, and dropped it like a hot rock. Hal and Sinestro were guarding the white lantern a few issues back...then *poof*!

Jonah Hex #65 $2.99

Written by JUSTIN GRAY & JIMMY PALMIOTTI
Art and cover by JORDI BERNET

It's man vs. the wild as Jonah Hex is besieged by a deadly blizzard the likes of which only a comic book master like Jordi Bernet can do justice! But it's not just Mother Nature who's out to do Hex in – there's also the matter of the mysterious stranger who provides Jonah shelter… and the group of armed men approaching the cabin…

So, how does this tie in to Brightest Day or Flashpoint? Or, is it a "War of the Green Lanterns" thing? I mean, I can't possibly believe Dan Didio would let DC publish anything that didn't crossover with some other part of the DCU...It's utterly ridiculous to believe!

On a serious note, Jordi Bernet is BACK!! READ THIS BOOK!!!

Ultimate Comics Captain America #3 (of 4) $3.99
Writer: Jason Aaron
Penciller: Ron Garney

An Ultimate Comics groundbreaking miniseries! Captain America has seen things no soldier should ever see, been to places that no man should be able to return, and beaten foes that no other hero could put down. Now, in the jungles of Cambodia, one man will push Captain America to, and past his limits. And Cap may not come back! The superstar team of Jason Aaron and Ron Garney bring you a brutal story you will NOT want to miss! 

Once again, if you want accurate solicit information, marvel.com is NOT the place to go. I added in the writer and artist from the solicit text, because Marvel doesn't seem to care to get it right on the website. You think that $3.99 and issues would get some better corporate synergy.

Still compelled by this story, because I think it's going someplace interesting.
