“Genesis?”
“Yes, Genesis! How can you be deaf with ears like that?”
“Genesis allowed is not! Is comic forbidden!”

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Comic Tribute TP

By Mine Yoshizaki, Hideki Ohwada, Yun Kouga, Nawoki Karasawa, Yoko Sanri, Keiichi Tanaka, Rui Takato, Astroguy II, Kotaro Yamada, Sessyu Takemura, Jun Abe, Tony Takezaki, Rikdo Koshi

I’ve been an absolute nut for all things Evangelion since high school. I fell hook line and sinker for its blend of tried and true anime tropes like mecha mayhem and warm-weather penguins with beyond-convoluted Hebrew mysticism and dad issues. Thing is, Shinji and co were gluttons for melodrama, so I’m eager to see all that flipped on its head with what sounds like a tongue-in-cheek roasting of NERV and those feral, angel-munching mechs.

Young Justice #25

By Greg Weisman & Christopher Jones

Over the course of this series it has shown up a lot in this feature mostly because I felt like more people were watching and loving the show than were buying the comic. And that was a shame. Well, with this, the final issue of Young Justice, I will urge the people who watch and love the show to pick up this great comic book. One last time.

Nova #1

By Jeph Loeb, Ed McGuiness & Dexter Vines, Marte Gracia

While the creative team is by no means a slam dunk, Marvel NOW! is on a hot streak with some meteoric hits. I’m watching the skies for this new wave of high profile cosmic books, and I’m hoping this new youthful take on Nova will help revitalize the franchise. It’s not DnA, but here’s hoping for another bright spot in the ongoing adventures of the Nova Corps.
