What is up comic book fans
0:09
It is another edition of 5 in 5 for the week of June 13, 2018
0:14
I'm taking a break from all the E3 craziness to talk some comic books
0:18
But stay tuned, later this week we're going to have a special E3 edition of 5 in 5 where
0:22
I talk about the top 5 gaming news to come out of the LA conference this year
0:26
It's been crazy, a lot of news stories. But let's get to the comics, we got more number ones this week than we did last week
0:32
I should have saved the Oprah joke for this week, but I didn't. So let's dive right in. We're going to kick this week off with Deadpool Assassin Number One written by Colin Bunn
0:40
and drawn by Mark Bagley. Alright, I'll be honest with you guys
0:44
Big reason I'm picking this book this week is I was so underwhelmed by the lukewarm reception
0:48
of Deadpool Number One last week that I'm really hoping Colin Bunn can deliver a better experience
0:54
And I've got good reason to have high hopes. He created the Deadpool Killogy which is absolutely hysterical and he wrote Deadpool's
1:00
Secret Secret Wars which is equally as hilarious and he's just got tons of Deadpool stories
1:06
in his bibliography. The guy's a great Deadpool writer so I'm a little excited. And then you got Mark Bagley who brings a very exquisitely detailed art style that is
1:14
also perfectly gory for modern Deadpool audiences. If you were a fan of the over top gore of the movies, you're going to enjoy the over
1:21
top gore of this. Our number four choice this week is A Walk Through Hell written by Garth Ennis and drawn
1:28
by Goran Sazuka. Now I think I've said this before but I'll say it again
1:32
Is it just me or does it feel like we're kind of living within the golden age of horror comics
1:37
A Walk Through Hell joins the ranks of these killer horror comics from prolific comic book
1:41
creator Garth Ennis. This new series features aspects of a buddy cop comedy with an aging 40 year old FBI agent
1:49
who's just looking to work as easy cases as she can until she retires teamed up with
1:53
a young, vibrant, bubbly rookie agent who's looking to wet his beak a little bit before
1:58
really getting to the action. Just like he did with Preacher, Garth Ennis is once again creating an absolutely disturbing
2:03
story only this time the protagonist's worst fears are coming to life right in front of
2:07
them haunting not only the characters but the readers as well. And our number three choice this week is Thor number one written by Jason Aaron with art
2:16
by Mike Del Mundo. Next week, another new Marvel fresh start in number one and this time it's Thor's turn
2:24
New golden arm and everything. Luckily for fans of the past few years of Thor, Jason Aaron is staying on as writer
2:30
and now Odinson the guy has once again reclaimed the mantle of Thor and is once again the Prince
2:36
of Asgard. Thor is tasked with tracking down missing Asgardian artifacts across the earth that'll
2:41
bring him face to face with one of his most feared foes, Juggernaut
2:47
Wait, okay, yeah, wow. Legitimately didn't see that coming. That should be pretty rad
2:50
I'm also sure this adventure around the earth will cause Thor to come face to face with
2:54
the effects that Jane Foster's time as Thor had on the perception of the mantle and not
2:59
have to deal with anything that might have changed. Are people gonna welcome the original Thor back
3:04
Are they gonna be like, we like the lady? Let's be honest, most comic book readers are probably stoked to see man Thor back but Jane
3:10
Foster made a great Thor. Let's not, let's not kid ourselves. And coming in at number two this week is The Magic Order number one written by Mark Millar
3:18
with art by Oliver Coypel. Is it Coypel or Coypeel? The first comic from the exclusive partnership between legendary creator Mark Millar and
3:28
Netflix comes this week in the form of The Magic Order number one
3:32
For starters, it's a number one. We're gonna want to talk about it. But when it's a number one by Mark Millar, there's a two thousand percent chance I'm
3:39
gonna talk about it. And when it's a one of a kind debut of a partnership between one of the greatest creators
3:44
in the last fifteen years and an entertainment juggernaut that the world has never seen before
3:50
and they're coming together to make a comic book on their own, I'm like ethically and
3:54
morally obligated to feature it. And it helps that the story sounds super rad too
3:59
It focuses on a secret order of magicians that keeps all these terrifying monsters from
4:03
overtaking our reality at night while we all sleep. They're defending us
4:08
Think of it like Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, only mixed with, I don't know
4:15
Peaky Blinders. Mark Millar claims that the pre-orders for this new series are the second highest of
4:20
all time for a new debuting number one series. And he's also promised there will not be a second printing of the first issue
4:28
So this is already a hot item. You gotta grab it while you still can
4:31
And our number one comic of the week is Hawkman number one, written by Robert Vendetti, drawn
4:37
by Brian Hitch. He's alive! Carter Hall and the Hawkman are back in the DC Universe
4:43
Sure, it only took the literal manifestation of every single living thing's nightmares
4:47
to bring him back from death, but he's back, so who gives a shit
4:52
While writer Robert Vendetti might be wrapping up his awesome run on Hal Jordan and the Green
4:56
Lantern Corps this August, that specific end comes with a whole new beginning in the form
5:00
of Hawkman number one, which brings Carter Hall back to the DC Universe
5:04
Spinning out of the events of Dark Nights Metal, Carter Hall is now questioning why he keeps coming back and what his purpose is for keep coming back
5:11
So he launches on a globetrotting investigation to just find the answer. Why
5:16
Why does he keep coming back? And this investigation forces him to reconcile with moments of his past
5:21
So this is a must read for Hawkman fans, new and old. Vendetti has already proven himself as an awesome writer in the post-rebirth era, while
5:28
Brian Hitch brings an exquisitely detailed art style to this book that kind of makes
5:33
it a dream duo and a must read. I'm excited. I don't even like Hawkman that much, but I saw this team and I was like, well, kind of
5:39
got to read it now. It's gonna be a rad book. I'm super stoked for it. You got to pick it up
5:43
And that'll wrap it up for Five and Five for the week of June 13th, 2018
5:47
I think I was dangerously close to actually being under five minutes this week, so I'm
5:51
going to try to make this back. Subscribe, like, comment, share, tweet it out
5:54
I'll see you guys next week. Make sure to watch the E3 video later this week. Bye
