Highlights for NWR 28 Feb 08

Posted on February 25th, 2008 in New Weekly Releases, Recommended by colin

Here are the highlights for this week’s NWR 28 Feb 08. It’s an unconfirmed guess the shipment’s arriving on time this week. Stay tuned to this blog, true believers. So, without further gibberish, here are the books I look forward to

CAPTAIN AMERICA #35

Written by ED BRUBAKER
Penciled by STEVE EPTING & BUTCH GUICE
Cover by STEVE EPTING

THE NEW CAPTAIN AMERICA FIGHTS FOR THE HEART OF HIS COUNTRY IN A CITY GONE INSANE! Last issue was just the tip of the iceberg, as the Red Skull’s master plan kicks into motion, and chaos begins to take hold of the US, with only one man to stand in its way, but is he up to the task?

GRAVEL #1 WRAP CVR (MR)

by Warren Ellis, Mike Wolfer & Raulo Caceres

It’s never a dull day, being a Magician.  The mad mind of Warren Ellis is once again unleashed on combat magician William Gravel, this time on a full-color, on-going monthly series! Magic. Everyone thought that he was dead, including the Minor Seven, the secret enclave of Britain’s Occult Detectives. But Combat Magician William Gravel is very much alive and looking for the answers to how and why his place in the Minor Seven was filled by another and what the secret society is doing with the Sigsand Manuscript, an ancient supernatural text of unparalleled power. In a quiet, country cottage, Gravel will find the first clues to the Sigsand’s location and in the darkness of the cottage’s basement, a disturbing, unnatural thing that slithered into our dimension by the power of the ancient tome… Brought here from somewhere that mortal man could not possibly comprehend.  The kind of magic that can strip the skin from a screaming man’s skull, or direct the path of a shrieking bullet through a maze of city streets, striking its target between the eyes with pin-point accuracy. This is not just magic… This is Combat Magic, wielded by Sergeant Major William Gravel, Warren Ellis’ cult-hit sensation from the pages of STRANGE KISS and STRANGE KILLINGS, now in his own, ongoing, full-color monthly series!

RASL #1

by Jeff Smith

Jeff Smith, the visionary writer and artist behind the epic fantasy Bone and Shazam: Monster Society of Evil, unveils his newest series, the stark sci-fi series, Rasl! Meet Rasl, an art thief searching for his next big score - and trying to escape his past! Where other thieves plan their heists with breathtaking precision, Rasl has an ace up his sleeve - he can travel through the light between dimensions, affording him access to museums that no ordinary thief could access! In this issue Rasl faces an assassin’s bullet and stumbles across a mystery that not only threatens to expose his own illicit activities, but could also uncover one of the world’s most dangerous and sought after secrets. Smith’s first major independent work since the critically acclaimed and award-winning Bone will be 32 pages long.

Here’s an excerpt of the Jeff Smith interview with Publishers Weekly about Rasl:

PWCW: What can you tell me about the story of the book?

JS: First of all, I have to stress that it’s not for the same audience as Bone. It’s a little bit more grown up. I don’t think there’s going to be anything pornographic in it or anything like that. I’m picturing more, you know, adult entertainment. It’s science fiction, so I’ve been describing it as Blade Runner meets Jason Bourne, so that gives you the flavor of it. And the story idea is, well, I’m very interested in science. That’s what I read when I’m trying to relax. I’ll read Brian Greene or Carl Sagan or Stephen Hawking. I love physics and I’ve always been really interested in certain parts of physics that get to the extreme edges of what we know and what we can theorize about.

And one of the things we theorize is that there are other dimensions. That’s what RASL is. He’s a dimension jumper. He’ll steal art. He’s an art thief. So, if you have enough money, I mean stupid money, like Bill Gates money, and you want your own original Picasso to hang in your living room, you can pay RASL and he’ll strap these giant engines on his shoulders—this special suit he’s invented—and he’ll step through the dimensions. It uses thermal magnetic power to bend reality so he can step into another dimension.

But it hurts. It hurts so bad that it takes him days to recover. He usually spends those days drinking and smoking and womanizing. But once he’s recovered enough, he can go about his thievery, steal the object he’s been sent for. But to return, he has to do the opposite. He has to clean himself mentally, physically. He almost has to become centered, like a Zen-Buddhist monk. Only then can he actually step back through the dimensional barrier. But then once he steps back through he’s on the ground, writhing in pain, and it takes him five more days to recover. So that’s why he wants a lot of money.

That was kind of a long explanation. You can’t really tell that from the preview, but that’s the background for his life.

PWCW: How big in scope is this story? Is it going to be another 15-year opus?

JS: No. Bone took 15 years. It was a single story, but it was 1,443 pages. I knew the ending when I set out, but it was a long and unfolding process. I think this one’s going to be shorter, at least by my standards. It’s probably going to be about 250 pages. I’ll probably do it for two, two and a half years. It’ll still be a graphic novel, but it’ll be serialized.

Read on for the full interview.

THOR #6

Written by J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
Pencils & Cover by OLIVIER COIPEL
50/50 Variant Cover by ART ADAMS

Asgard stands once more. Thor has reclaimed his role as the God of Thunder, and key members of his Norse pantheon stand by his side. Now, the blockbust
