Post-Crisis Comic Book Previews for 02/10/10

As you may have noticed in the Cover of the Week, we've done away with the colour coding of names with the addition of Ryan L. and Christine to the team.  There just aren't enough colours that are readable and it was starting to get unwieldly with the rainbow of text colours throughout posts.  As such, this edition of the Post-Crisis Previews has both Ryan S. and I using the default site blue colour for our names.  I doubt it will cause confusion, but thought I'd throw that out there for everyone.  Hit the jump to see what we think of our pull lists this week's and what we expect from each comic.

Marvel's Savage Magazine Format


This week saw The Indomitable Iron Man hit stands. A third showing in Marvel’s slow reintroduction, of sorts, of the big black and white magazine format books of ye olden days. It started with The Savage Sword of Conan and here’s why you should be excited about what’s coming up in this format that is the Grindhouse of the four colour Cineplex world.

I Am An Avenger, Too! - Reader Version

I posted some mock-ups of fake I Am An Avenger, Too! ads last week along with a template so our readers could get in on the fun. The response was overwhelming and I had to share them with everyone who may have missed them in the comments. I've included as many as I could, but there's still a non-trivial number left in the comments of that first post you should check out if you are interested in seeing more.  Hit the jump for more I Am An Avenger, Too! mock-ups.

Cover of the Week - Red Robin & Ghost Riders: Heavens of Fire

Hello, and welcome to another edition of Cover of The Week, where we take a look at this week's best covers to grace the comic book stands. This week, Ryan and me are also joined by... Ryan.

I am of course talking about Ryan K. Lindsay one of our two recently added contributors, which we announced earlier this week. To keep confusion to a minimum, we'll be using their last names to differentiate them (just like in school). So, for the sake of clarity: Ryan (S) = Iowan Ryan, power ranking Ryan, while Ryan (L) = Australian Ryan, essay-appeared-in-Criminal Ryan. Do take notes, because there will be an exam later on! In the mean time, hit the jump to see our picks.

Siege: Embedded #2 Review


This is Christine, and I thought I'd make my debut here as a regular contributor to The Weekly Crisis with a look at Siege: Embedded #2. As you all probably know, Siege: Embedded is to Siege what the various Frontline minis have been to previous events. And, as usual, we're exploring the goings on in the Marvel Universe from Ben Urich's perspective. This time, we find him traveling with two companions in the form of old friend and fellow journalist William Stern, and Volstagg, likely the country's most hated Asgardian. So, is it any good and does it add anything to our appreciation of the main event? Hit the jump and find out!
