I’m a big fan of street level superheroes. Guys like Union Jack, Dr. Midnight, Iron Fist, Wildcat, etc. So I’ve been really pleased with the titles that have been coming out lately.
JSA Classified, Moon Knight, The Black Panther, Union Jack, and the re-launch of Heroes for Hire. In the last few issues of Black Panther, prior to his wedding with Storm, T’Challa was hanging out with Blade, Luke Cage and The Falcon- we had the makings of a cool ethnic team there for a bit, I would love to see that premise taken further. Coming up is a re-launch of Iron Fist and a special Dr. Midnight limited series in JSA Classified. All this street level coolness almost makes up for the travesty that was the Warlord series earlier this year…almost.
Hey Jeff,
ReplyDeleteWe dig the same comics!
The Black Panther is currently a great book right now.
I am very keen to see the new Iron Fist comic, it looks they they are turning the Iron Fist into a "legacy" character ala Lee Falk's "The Phantom"..(Many different generations of Iron Fists) I am not sure how I feel about that..but I will give it a chance..
I dunno if you have ever checked out my blog but I have converted Iron Fist from the old Marvel FASERIP TSR RPG into SW...
Check it out..
