43 Thoughts About 43 Of Today's Comics – And Just How Crazy Is Savage Dragon Anyway?

Uncanny Inhumans has its own Donald Trump….

And Wonder Woman is already pregnant. Don't worry, it's clearly just a dream for her fiftieth issue, though it may be interpreted as revealing inner thoughts that should never even have occurred…  as a prelude to the Dark Knight III – or Twilight Of The Superheroes, depending in which direction you think the DC Universe two year plan should go.

Gender politics, it's all just so confusing, even for Jonesy.

…so what hope does Damian Wayne have in Robin, Son Of Batman.

No one has quite the crazy plots of Savage Dragon, Not Sex Criminals, not Saga, not I Hate Fairyland, not Chew. Issue after issue,  Dragon stumps them all. And today is no exception.

 And DC Comics' Wacky Raceland may be doing Wacky Races via Mad Max but today's Tokyo Ghost still looks like going even further…
  Yeah, Hawkeye I'm not sure that's entirely meant to be a good thing. From New Avengers #10.

As is this… could we have a name change coming?  While in Captain America: Sam Wilson #8, Kraven thinks outside the box when tracking his current prey, a cosmic cube masquerading as a young girl… shame he never tried this with Peter Parker. Amadeus Cho undergoes the temptations in the desert, in Totally Awesome Hulk. In the end, though, it comes down to a boy and his dog.

A problem that Hyperion is less likely to be concerned about. Cute scene, set among much grossness involving worms invading bodies. Trigger warnings all over the place for this comic book. Especially if you are also allergic to dogs.
 Silk cosplays as a supervillain version of herself. Well, we've all had practice at that. Is this what happens when you don't get locked in a room for your entire life? It would explain so much…

In Nova, Sam's dad – okay not Sam's dad, but the alien clone of Sam's Dad, who is looking less and less like Sam's dad, has had a promotion, from janitor to bus driver. How's that going for you sir?
And that's why we like the Astonishing Ant-Man. Once it's been said, it simply cannot be argued with. We look forward to more Batman/Catman, Iceman/Audra Weissman, Thing/Sting grudge matches to come.

Yeah, but the comic is called X-O Manowar, not X-O Manojaw….

Thor really put it about back in the day, didn't he? Not sure if "loved" has been translated from the Old Norse, there. Talking of translations…
Star Trek Manifest Destiny #1 in Klingon…
And then again in Klingon. You can now swear in Klingon.

On the set of Jessica Jones apparently, as well…
Flash does the right thing in his fiftieth issue… before going back into hell. Love that silhouette scene with the energy lines glowing… one of those images that makes no sense when you think about it but just looks really, really cool…

We liked his appearance in previous issues of Martian Manhunter, but having him mocked like this secures the deal. Folks, can we get Rob Williams to write John Constantine on a more regular basis? Even as this whole New 52 shindig is dismissed as a "lost weekend in New York"?

Although, sometimes it's hard not to see him in every character Sean Phillips draws, such as the magnificent Criminal 10th Anniversary Magazine.

If there's anything that could cheer Grumpy Cat up, it really should be a drone cat, no? You could totally market these, to the meme community if nothing else.

"As quiet as a James Bond" -worldless suspense from the new issue.

The eight issue mini-series that could, its it's quarter century, Lumberjanes #25, without following any of he rules – indeed inventing rules for others to follow.

A little like Jem And The Holograms #14

Turncoat #2 has rules that probably should be obeyed….

Welcome Back #7 has rules of its own that anyone is welcome to try and emulate, if the circumstances allow…

While Joyride #1 has more of a guideline than a rule… can we get some field research on this topic?

And while Captain America: Sam Wilson is having a bit of an existential crisis over the use of his name…

Ren Sonja is already looking like she's ready to worship him.

Caveboy shows chivalry in Titans Hunt.

Not a problem for some people, such as The Precinct #5.Shaft: Imitation Of Life #3 gives an imitation of Shaft…

Twilight Zone: The Shadow #1 crosses over too esteemed properties with death and dishonour as a result…

Transformers vs G.I. Joe #12 does the unmasking. It has been redacted here to spare everyone's feelings…

Unless of course you are reading Bloodshot Reborn #12, and then you have no way out.

Necessity is the mother of invention in Godzilla Oblivion #2

Okay, okay, that is quite Dirk Gently-ish, I give in. I don't think even Chew has managed to get away with something like that…

…they're working from an entirely different dictionary over at the Chew: Demon Chicken Poyo Special…

They aren't alone in their mysterious-substance-from-mouth trope as Divinity II #1 joins in…

As does Karnak #3. I don't think anyone can keep anything down.
Well, you travel in time, you shout and wave your hands, you're a bit old… Back to the Future #7 has changed things.

While Huck undergoes the superhero dilemma. To kill, or not to kill….
