The Recount #1

[history79]

"After the assassination of a U.S. President, the conspirators turn their sights on all who helped him get into power. By this, they mean to kill everyone who helped him ascend to the presidency-including the ordinary citizens who elected him, essentially plunging the entire country into civil war. Meanwhile, the vice president, one of the few survivors of the executive branch, struggles to prevent the nation from descending into chaos."

Way of X #1 - "Way of X"

[laughing_tree]

So, listen: the importance of Hickman’s X-Men work can’t be overstated. For the first time in a long time someone’s doing something genuinely and ambitiously different with the Super Hero concept. To me the whole DAWN OF X canon drips with the lysergic experimentation of the best Big Idea sci-fi: Last and First Men... Barefoot in the Head… Foundation and Empire. It’s not just "what if…?", it’s "what if everything…?" It’s nothing less than the creation of an entire epochal civilisation. That Jon and the rest of the X-team are telling stories in that framework of such humanity and heart is nothing short of magical. I want in on that. -- Si Spurrier

[stubbleupdate]

It's been a while since there was a Marvel book that I was interested in.

I used to read a lot, but it's difficult to continue a character's story after reading an excellent long run with them. Hickvengers, Hicktastic Four, Fraction's Iron Man and Aaron's Thor all sort of ended my interest in reading other people's take on the characters for a while.

However, for the right creators, I'll have a look at a title. Dan Slott isn't exciting enough to get me paying any attention to his Fantastic Four. Chris Cantwell's written some really good things, but his Iron Man wasn't my cup of tea. Mark Russell writing Fantastic Four...that's something that will make me sit up and take notice. His Red Sonja was decent, and his Flintstones was just brilliant, better than it had any right to be.

I write about the things that bother me, and one of the things that bothers me is how we're continually dehumanized by the minutia and the pettiness of the world around us. So that's something I didn't really set out to make a comic about, but it's something that sort of imbues the comic that I'm writing, because it's something that weighs on me. - Mark Russell, speaking on his Flintstones run in 2017

Fantastic Four: Life Story is, like Zdarsky's Spider-man book a tale of the team through the decades without the sliding timescale.
