ComicBookResources has the preview of issue #14, as we finally see how one of the villains deals with the arrival of Gatchamen... I mean the Phoenix Five.

Or not...., as we see a perfect society in action.

It does a body good. )

SHIELD continues, as the assembled ComicBookResources has the preview. Two behind the cut.

I'm not sure where this is going now, but I'm willing to see this through to the end.

Time keeps on ticking.... into the future. )

Giant robots!
Mysterious cities!
Crazy scientists!
Strange technology!

Is this your standard 1930's comic book adventure flair? An old movie serial?

NO, dammit, this... Is..... S.H.I.E.L.D. !!!!!!

Giant robots? Hardly! It's a Celestial!
Crazy scientists to the rescue? Only if you think the greatest minds of the Western world like Michaelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Nostradamus, Nikolas Tesla, and *cough* Nathaniel Richards and Howard Stark bringing the hurt are common lab geeks.

I've already posted my near max for this issue, so I saved my last alloted page for one more shot.

Open up and smile, you son of a .... )

Greetings, loyal readers.

Seeing as how this title has been out for a few weeks and no one has brought it, four pages from the most recent issue.

And the title continues to roll in epic proportions.

*Note: Forgive me, my summary will not do this title justice. You know the writing, you know the art, you know the story to be among the best written in recent years. Skip that morning breakfast and get your hands on this.

The Truth of All Things. )

'Nuff said.

The Star Child. )

SHIELD vol.2 begins next week. It is exciting. The issue opens with the character who was revealed at the end of #6.

I've only looked at this page of the preview and can happily say that it is lovely. It looks different to Vol.1 too.
Don't you have some painting to do )

In August, I'm picking up 5 books by Architect #5, Jonathan Hickman. The second volume of SHIELD is coming out, along with FF, The Red Wing, Ultimate Ultimates and Ultimate Hawkeye. Since I'm very excited about the return of SHIELD, I thought I'd post up something from #6 that I didn't get around to posting when it came out.

The War of the Immortal City )

And it's coming back.

Since Volume 1 finished this week, I want to have a little look back at some bits from S.H.I.E.L.D. (officially the worst comic to type), specifically The Night Machine )

CBR has an advance preview for S.H.I.E.L.D. #4, featuring the showdown between Sir Isaac Newton: Monster Fucker and Leonardo Da Vinci: Kid Icarus

Tonnes of fun )

Of course, Secret Identity already made the joke about getting a tan that way.

Now that I've had a bit of time, I've gone back and re-read 1-3 of S.H.I.E.L.D. in one go. It does make more sense when you can go back to it, though there's still a lot that I'm waiting to be developed that will make what we've seen already make more sense.

Two scans for you, the final pages from both #2 and #3, each showing the same scene from different characters' perspectives.
to be continued ) Suffice it to say, Weaver has made a very pretty book. Well worth double dipping.
