New Comics - August 05, 2009

The last chapter of War of Kings is due out this week. Some doubts may have sprung up from a slightly disappointing previous issue, but I'm still stoked about War of Kings #6. Finally, Black Bolt and Vulcan will have their legendary showdown. Hopefully, the Inhumans' attitude toward the war will be redeemed and they will become the true heroes of this potentially great series.

Another big release is Amazing Spider-Man #601. The fantastic previous issue left us with the return of Mary Jane and this one should be delving more into what she's been up to and maybe hint at she and Peter's new relationship status. If you recall, she left a very cryptic message, which he didn't get, on his answer machine while he was with the Fantastic Four. One More Day centered on their relationship and this is the first story about them since.

Other big releases from Marvel are Captain America: Reborn #2 and Invincible Iron Man #16. I was opposed to Reborn before it started and last issue didn't help matters any. This one probably won't win me over either, but a Bucky and Widow vs. Ares and Venom showdown should go a long way. Over in Iron Man, Tony and Pepper were caught and tormented by Madame Masque. Of course they'll escape this issue, but look for some more amazing characterization of Masque. Also, expect Tony to overcome his newly deteriorated mental state to defeat her.
