Marvel #1 Issues

This week and last week have been huge with the first issues and one-shots for Marvel, and I want to give you guys a quick run down of whats come out:

Last Week
Avengers/Invaders #1
This new series, with covers by Alex Ross, features the Invaders from WW2 meeting up with the New and Mighty Avengers sometime before Secret Invasion but after Cap’s death. The fun part is that the Invaders are under the impression that the Thunderbolts are Nazis! Hilarity ensues, or does Iron Man’s guilt get him? Tune in to this issue to find out.

Invincible Iron Man #1
This new Iron Man story kicks off in a way that is easy to pick up for people fresh off the movie, but doesn’t drop continuity. Stark still has Extremis and is director of SHIELD, but Pepper Potts and Jim Rhodes come in for people familiar with them now. The story focuses on a new thing for Stark to guilt-trip himself on, with modern threats transferred over to the Marvel universe, and look really fantastic.

Iron Man Viva Las Vegas #1
This one looks promising, with story by the guy who did the movie, and beautiful interiors, but the first issue was really just a taste of what this miniseries has to offer.

Thunderbolts Reason In Madness
This one-shot features Venom’s conflicted evilness and an offer to get more than he deserves. This was the first thing of Thunderbolts I have read, and if it is as great as this, Thunderbolts is a must read.

X-Factor Quick and Dead
This one-shot is about Quicksilver, in jail and out of his power-granting crystals. He seems to be going through power withdrawal, and this issue changes his character from now on.

This Week
Captain Britain and MI 13 #1
Captain Britain is back with his own book! And he brought the John Lennon skrull and the Black Knight with him. This book is much better than I expected it to be, and looks really nice. This starts out as a Secret Invasion tie-in, but it is an ongoing that will branch out as soon as the skrulls take over the earth.

Guardians of the Galaxy #1
Taking place after Annihilation Conquest wrapped up, this book is a new ongoing all about our favorite space heroes teaming up to make sure nothing like the Annihilation Wave or Phalanx ever have the chance to rise up and threaten the galaxy again.

Newuniversal: Shockfront #1
This miniseries is the sequel to the newuniversal mini that Warren Ellis did a while ago (he does this one too) and follows all the same characters and plots that the first series left hanging. Looks fantastic and probably will be followed by another newuniversal mini after it wraps up.

Secret Invasion Fantastic Four #1
This mini will explain what happens with the Baxter Building and everyone in it after the pages of Secret Invasion #1. A great read, and it will only be 3 issues long, so we might see the FF show up in Secret Invasion after this mini is over.

Soleil Sky Doll #1
This new book is beautiful, hands down. The art is worth the price alone, and the story features an interesting universe about robots. Check it out, but don’t let anyone young see it, this book has more nipples than that chick from Total Recall.
