Comic Book Previews Spring comic book preview: Guardians of the Galaxy, The Sword
Posted By Carlton Hargro on Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 3:39 PM
Lookee here ... I got a few more comic book picks for the spring:
The Sword No. 24: I've never read an issue of Image Comics' series The Sword — by the Luna Brothers — but this is the last issue. So, what better time to jump on board and read the whole story from the beginning?
Guardians of the Galaxy No. 25: I just love me some Guardians of the Galaxy. And in issue 25, the creative team is bringing back the big, bad villain Thanos. I wasn't a big fan of the Infinity-themed comics back in the day starring Thanos, but I've been enjoying GotG since issue one — and Thanos is a one of Marvel's greatest evil-doers. Color me interested.

Comic Book Previews Spring comic book preview: Crossed, ShadowHawk, Legion of Super-Heroes

I'm back with more picks for great comics hitting stores this spring. Check 'em out:
ShadowHawk No. 1: Look, I hated this series when it debuted back in the day. But the art on this particular version looks pretty good. I'll pick up the first one at the very least.
The Legion of Super-Heroes No. 1: Legendary writer and former DC bigwig Paul Levitz returns to the comic that made him a legend. Not really sure if this iteration will be great or not. LOS has gone through tons of revamps and creative teams in the last few years. Geoff Johns kind of righted the ship with his Legion of 3 Worlds limited series and with the first few issues of Adventure Comics, but will Levitz keep it sailing? I say pick it up and find out.
Crossed: Family Values No. 1: Writer Garth Ennis created this ultra-violent comic — about a strange disease that's turned folks all over the world into stark-raving psychopaths — but now writer David Lapham is taking the reins for a brand new Crossed limited series. I've always been a fan of Lapham, especially his old Stray Bullets series. I'll be buying this, too.
More to come tomorrow ...
