Cream of the Comics – New Avengers / Transformers

New Avengers/Transformers #1
written by Stuart Moore, art by Tyler Kirkham

This book, of course, will be awesome. Stuart Moore is an excellent writer. I’m not the biggest Kirkham fan, but the preview pages I’ve seen are just what’s needed for this book, so no complaints there. It features the New Avengers prior to Civil War, which means we get Captain America alive, Iron Man in pre-douchebag mode, and Spider-Man all running around on the same team. AND Transformers. And I think Doctor Doom is the Marvel villain that’ll be hanging out with Megatron, which should be utterly fantastic, as he may well be my favorite Marvel villain.

What better way to celebrate the new Transformers movie and the 4th of July (actually the 5th, since most shops should be closed tomorrow) than a book about giant robots hanging out with superheroes and supervillains? The answer of course is THERE IS NONE.

I saw that image and thought, “That’s definitely Jim Cheung,” but then I realized he only did the cover art.

Kirkham can certainly draw, but he’s generic as hell. You could throw his stuff in with about ten other guys and you’d never know who drew what.

If nothing else, I’m happy for the first Spiderman/TF teamup in 20 years! Welcome back to Marvel, guys!

Yeah, Kirkham really does very little for me too. But the preview page here –

– is better than expected. Especially after the abysmal Phoenix:Warsong series. Horrible writing on that one too. Yikes. Anyway, here’s hoping the inking and coloring are strong on this, because if they’re weak, they’ll really highlight his weaknesses too, which we really don’t need.

I love Wolverine’s expression, like “it’s turning into a f#@$ing robot!? You gotta be kidding me…”
