Dave's Quick and Easy Reviews:

Deadly Class #1

By Rick Remender and Wesley Craig

It’s 1987. Marcus Lopez hates school. His grades suck. He has no money. The jocks are hassling his friends. He can't focus in class, thanks to his mind constantly drifting to the stunning girl in the front row and the Dag Nasty show he has tickets to. But the jocks are the children of Joseph Stalin's top assassin, the teachers are members of an ancient league of assassins, the class he’s failing is "Dismemberment 101," and his crush, a member of the most notorious crime syndicate in Japan, has a double-digit body count.

Welcome to the most brutal high school on Earth, where the world’s top crime families send the next generation of assassins to be trained. Murder is an art. Killing is a craft. At King’s Dominion High School for the Deadly Arts, the dagger in your back isn’t always metaphorical, nor is your fellow classmates' poison.

Join writer RICK REMENDER with rising star WESLEY CRAIG (Batman) and legendary colourist LEE LOUGHRIDGE (Fear Agent) to reminisce about the mid-1980s underground through the eyes of the most damaged and dangerous teenagers on Earth.

I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting to like this comic at all. While I've enjoyed some of Remender's work in the past, I find what he's currently doing at Marvel in Captain America and especially Uncanny Avengers rather infuriating, and didn't have much faith his new title would raise my opinion of him. So naturally I was pleasantly surprised when this first issue turned out to be pretty great. :) While a school for teenage assassins certainly isn't an original idea for a story, the setting of a consciously nostalgic past along with Craig's atypical,

dynamic art style give it an unusual, captivating edge.

The first issue introduces the central mystery of not only the secretive academy for assassins, but of the enigmatic protagonist as well, and discovering his secrets is definitely one of the main reasons why I want to continue reading this series. I've seen comparisons of this series online to The Breakfast Club - 'but with more death' - and while only time will tell if Deadly Class will hold up as well as the John Hughes film classic, I'm confident this is only the beginning of a very rewarding and exciting new series.

NEW COMICS

5 FEBRUARY 2014

It's a terrific week for comics from every publisher, but I'm afraid Marvel is beating everyone handily with their All New Marvel Now initiative, with three fantastic new series debuts as well as new storylines in ongoing titles to keep everyone entertained and coming back for more. I'm so excited read the new LOKI: AGENT OF ASGARD, which you may have seen all over the internet lately, and features Kid-no-more Loki acting as a secret agent on behalf of the All Mother, Ruler of Asgard, which should give him plenty of ways to get up to every sort of mischief while doing bad deeds done for good reasons. Looks like great fun!

Also making her highly publicized debut this week is MS MARVEL, starring new teenage superhero Kamala Khan; written by award winning author G Willow Wilson I'm hoping this new series will be a welcoming entrance to comics for new readers as well as a treat for long time superhero fans like me. And Frank Castle fans will be pleased to know PUNISHER #1 arrives this week, as he moves his base of operations from NYC to corrupt California. As well as these new NOW titles Marvel is 'rebooting' Paul Cornell's excellent WOLVERINE and Brian Wood's X-MEN at #1, and new BLACK WIDOW, ALL NEW INVADERS, MIGHTY AVENGERS and the conclusion to MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN. Not to be outdone by Marvel, DC has for you this week a special one-shot devoted to the mysterious JOKER'S DAUGHTER, the conclusion to the popular miniseries BATMAN: BLACK AND WHITE, new GOTHTOPIA tie-ins with DETECTIVE COMICS and BATWING, and both TRILLIUM and FOREVER EVIL head towards their epic finales! We also have the long awaited new issue of LAZARUS, GOD IS DEAD, THE STAR WARS, and ADVENTURE TIME: THE FLIP SIDE. Whew! So much good stuff this week, what are you looking forward to reading?

It's also a week for fantastic debuts, with THE FUSE, a gritty crime drama from the creator of Umbral, set on a rather dilapidated space station, historical superhero adventure THE ROYALS, cyberpunk CITY IN THE MACHINE, historical adventure THE MERCENARY SEA, a brand new team for X-FORCE, and in what is surely a SHIELD mandated reminder that there's a new film coming out WINTER SOLDIER returns for a spy thriller series set in the 1960s. My favourite premiere
however is the new SHE-HULK - internet buzz is promising a delightfully fun read,
and I can't wait to find out of it's true.

This week's BATMAN is a special preview of the upcoming weekly Batman Eternal series, SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN begins its final story arc, FATALE begins a new storyline, and those who missed out on DC's Villain's Month can now own the complete set of 3D 'motion' covers in a special box set collection. What are you looking forward to reading this week? Talk to us @DavesComics!

NEW COMICS

5 MARCH 2014

We have an absolutely fantastic selection of comics in store for you this week, with thrilling new series and long awaited arrivals heading your way. I'm sure everyone will be relieved to know the perpetually delayed JUPITER'S RISING #4 is finally here! Also by Mark Millar is the debut of his new pulp science fiction series STARLIGHT, the first of several interconnected titles in the MILLARWORLD UNIVERSE. And speaking of science fiction, there's TALES OF HONOUR #1, based on the best selling space opera novels of David Weber, which looks great for SF and Mass Effect fans. Lazarus writer Greg Rucka has a new miniseries with VEIL, a horror thriller that's generating lots of online buzz, and EVIL EMPIRE by Max Bevis looks like a fascinating take how real world governments become the terrible dictatorships we usually only see in fiction. While there are no new series at DC, we do have the finale of FOREVER EVIL: ARKHAM WAR and conclusion to crossover event GOTHTOPIA, as well as the penultimate issue of the always excellent TRILLIUM. Meanwhile at Marvel the All New Marvel Now initiative is still going strong, with a new series for MAGNETO, second issues for the utterly delightful (and sell out!) SHE-HULK and LOKI: AGENT OF ASGARD, the finale of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEADPOOL, and most important of all, the debut of Warren Ellis' vision for MOON KNIGHT! We're all terribly excited about it, and hope you are too. :)

BOOM

ADVENTURE TIME FLIP SIDE #3 (OF 6)

EVIL EMPIRE #1

WHY WE LOVE IT: After POLARITY, we just had to work with writer (and Say Anything lead singer) Max Bemis again, and his thrilling take on how our modern society could evolve into an evil empire is absolutely terrifying.
WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT: Every fan of fiction is aware of the trope of the "evil, sinister empire" i.e. the Empire in "Star Wars." Often, when we are introduced to these totalitarian establishments, they are already fully in power and it's up to our hero to bring back order and peace. However, in EVIL EMPIRE, we explore how that would unfold in a real-world setting. How close to the precipice are we right now in the world we live in? Would we let it happen? More specific to this tale: Would we secretly WANT it to happen?
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: Told through the perspective of an underground rapper named Reese, Max Bemis' gripping story explores a scenario in which we watch our modern society gradually evolve (or is it devolve?) into an evil empire.

Your eyes do not deceive you - after months of waiting SANDMAN OVERTURE #2

is finally here, hurray! I know I'll be wearing one of my Neil Gaiman shirts (but which one? Oh, the trials of being a diehard fan) to celebrate this momentous occasion.

Overture is just one of the many great releases this week, like SERENITY: LEAVES ON THE WIND, DEADLY CLASS, and the next installment of sci-fi indie thriller THE BUNKER. We say goodbye to several series: FOREVER EVIL tie-ins ARGUS and ROGUES REBELLION, BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT, X-FILES CONSPIRACY, A+X, and the delightful superhero shenanigans of AVENGERS ASSEMBLE. Sniff. There are stand alone specials for SUICIDE SQUAD and UBER, the conclusion to the Trial of Jean Grey crossover in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, and the end of the first major storyline in MIRACLEMAN. It's almost a shame Overture had to come out this week, because it might be overshadowing some really fantastic debuts: Bryan Hitch's new Hollywood actors-turned actual superheroes series REAL HEROES, the rebirth (or is it?) of the Ultimates in SURVIVE, a street-racing GHOST RIDER (with wicked new artstyle!), Rhodey leaves the Secret Avengers to star in his own series in IRON PATRIOT, and the SILVER SURFER returns, this time accompanied by a human friend to share their intergalactic adventures. We're all very excited for this one, because it looks so good. :)

Let's just hope whatever happens the fabric of space-time remains intact. ;-) Trillium may be ending, but there's certainly no shortage of new series to begin this week: supernatural mystery DEAD LETTERS, science fiction horror CALIBAN, the return of ANGEL AND FAITH in Season 10, contemporary horror awaits you in THE FIELD, Aquaman makes some new friends (frenemies?) in AQUAMAN AND THE OTHERS, catch up on backstory before the film with GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY PRELUDE, learn just how bad things really could have been for the Marvel Universe in the WHAT IF: AGE OF ULTRON miniseries, witness the antics of two red suited lunatics in DEADPOOL VS CARNAGE, and discover how the creation of new superpowered humans by Terrigen Mist is affecting the world in INHUMAN. There's also the 200th issue of ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN, commemorating the anniversary of Peter Parker's death in the Ultimates-verse and setting the stage for the relaunch of the entire Ultimates line, the conclusion of the first major storyline in PRETTY DEADLY, a new creative team takes over on DETECTIVE COMICS, and just a whole lot of fantastic ongoing comics like MOON KNIGHT, STARLIGHT, BLACK SCIENCE, LOKI: AGENT OF ASGARD, BLACK WIDOW and SHE-HULK!

WHY WE LOVE IT: Here at BOOM! Studios, crime is in our blood-from our comic-turned-feature film 2 GUNS to our critically acclaimed series HIT, we've always had a passion for all things noir. DEAD LETTERS is the next step in our exploration of the genre.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: Creators Christopher Sebela (Ghost, High Crimes) and newcomer Chris Visions are two fresh voices that are about to take the industry by storm. Don't miss out on a wholly unique take on supernatural noir.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: Sam Whistler wakes up in an unfamiliar motel room, dressed in hospital scrubs and his arms wrapped in bandages. He remembers nothing - not how he got here, not where here is...not even his own name. But the goons knocking down his door sure do, and it's going to take every single move in Sam's forgotten repertoire to outrun and outsmart the gang war he's just stumbled into.
