Daredevil: Back In Black Vol. 1: Chinatown

Elektra Vol. 1: Bloodlines

Speaking of amazing art, my favorite artist working right now, Mike Del Mundo, worked on this related series, Elektra. This series pits Marvel’s deadliest femme fatale against another legendary assassin in hot pursuit of a giant bounty, but this series, written by Haden Blackman, is all about Elektra and her personal struggle with her life. She’s asking the very familiar question: do I still want to do what I’m doing? The art is dynamic, perfect for the character who has a rich tradition of ground-breaking artists. Not to mention each composition is beautiful. This was a comic that regularly made me stop to appreciate every choice in every panel.

Hawkeye Vol. 1: My Life As A Weapon

Hawkeye is the comic that all my comic-loving friends were talking about when I was thinking about getting back into comic books post-college. They were saying that Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, was similar to the wise-cracking hero introduced in the Avengers films and this comics series was about what Clint was doing during his downtime. They were raving about the dialogue, the ridiculous situations that Fraction was plotting for Clint, and Aja and Hollingsworth’s wonderfully minimalist art style that was just as fun as the story. After reading this wonderful series all I have to say is this is real futzing good. Also, pizza dog.

I don’t know if everyone’s heard, but this week we launched Marvel on Comixology Unlimited! In commemoration of this historic event this week’s staff picks will be focused on my favorite Marvel books!

STAR WARS Vol. 2: Showdown on Smuggler’s Moon

In honor of Star Wars Day, I’m going to pick Star Wars Vol. 2: Showdown on Smuggler’s Moon. It’s got a ton of things I really like about Star Wars, and follows my favorite characters. It’s got Hutts, bounty hunters, lightsaber battles, and Han Solo’s shady past, to name a few. In a way this book reads like fan fiction, since it compiles a bunch of the best elements of SW in one story. This collection also features Luke and the gang fighting gladiator style in a pit, which sounds like Episode II but feels totally different since it’s got Stuart Immonen’s amazing art doing the storytelling. To top it off there’s an epic fight scene at the end where Leia, Han and even Chewie go to battle with lightsabers of their own.

STAR WARS Darth Vader Vol. 1: Vader

In honor of today’s Revenge of the Sixth: Star Wars: Darth Vader Vol. 1: Vader. Growing up I was always a Vader guy (actually, back and forth between Luke and Vader. Today I’m more of a Han guy) so it was amazing to see my childhood hero get his own ongoing. If you’re a fan of the Force Unleashed series this particular story is pretty great. It includes a lot of the same elements (Vader sort of branching off and doing clandestine stuff while taking on a semi-apprentice). It also sees the introduction of a new ongoing character, Doctor Aphra.

THE MIGHTY THOR Vol. 1: Thunder in Her Veins

Ah, finally! A non-Star Wars book: The Mighty Thor Vol. 1: Thunder In Her Veins. I don’t know how the Thor editorial does it. From Olivier Coipel in the J. Michael Straczynski era (Vols 1-3 available in CU!), to Russell Dauterman in the Jason Aaron era, they consistently get artists who make their books look so incredibly beautiful and dynamic. The spectacle and splendor of Asgard especially pops in this volume which sees SPOILER ALERT: Dr. Jane Foster become Thor and travel around the Nine Realms meeting new species and engaging in crazy battles. I’ve been really digging this most recent run, which sees Thor team-up with a mutant, Quentin Quire (another one of my favorite characters) to do some pretty amazing things, which I won’t spoil. But to get to there you need to start here, and start soon!
