Comic Station Issue #10 – March 6th 2013

The Comic Station videos bring the latest in New Releases, Reviews and Recommendations each week in Comic Books.

New Releases: The Avengers and X-men get more time together in a dystopian and bleak future in Age of Ultron #1 issue from Marvel Comics. Image Comics knows sex sells and hope it’s true that SEX #1 will sell. This one is NOT FOR KIDS! More in line for all-ages and kids, DC Comics has Ame-Comi Girls #1 where the characters of the DC Universe are in an all-female cast, even the traditionally male characters.

Review: We mention the Guardians of the Galaxy review, which we featured as a New Release on Comic Station Issue #9 last week. This week on Comic Station we look at Oni Press and their a great new Viking mystic in Helheim #1. A beautiful and gripping story that takes it beyond the typical Viking book.

Recommendation: Scott gives Red She-Hulk some love on this issue of Comic Station!

Special One-Shot: We had a special Comic Station One-Shot Interview with Jimmie Robinson, who wrote, drew and lettered Five Weapons #1 which we reviewed last week.

Comic Station One-Shot: Jimmie Robinson creator of Five Weapons

For this special one-shot Comic Station video we had the opportunity to sit down with Image Comic’s own Jimmie Robinson. Robinson has been in the comics industry since self publishing Cyberzone and subsequently being picked up by Image Comics for the sequel, Amanda and Gunn. His early works found a home in the smaller independent publishers, mostly due to acceptance, but also because the subjects of the series were not the typical superhero works. Cyberzone itself featured a Amanda Shane, a cybernetically  enhanced African-American lesbian bounty hunter. While offering a bleak future, Jimmie Robinson managed to still offer a glimpse of humanity through all the grit.

Five Weapons #1: Review (Comic)

Image Comics has been on a run of creating some great entries, especially for the adult comic book readers, but one of their newest titles makes a big for the young adult reader.  Five Weapons #1 centers on a unique school for the hitman-in-training children and its newest enrolled student. In an impressive feat, this book features the work of Jimmie Robinson as the writer, illustrator and letterer all rolled into one.

Each student at the Five Weapons school is encouraged to identify with one of five schools of practice: knives, staves, archery, guns and exotic weapons. They are trained in the martial art of their weapon of choice, complete with classes and fights in the courtyard. This of course makes Tyler Shainline stand out even more. Not only is he from a long line of infamous hitmen, but he refuses to take up arms.
