TNTM Trade of The Week: Men of Wrath

MEN OF

WRATH

JASON AARON WRITER

RON GARNEY ARTIST

MATT MILLA COLORS

MEN OF WRATH CREATED BY AARON & GARNEY

 

The Ambassador and I actually picked up Men of Wrath in issues as it was coming out. Somehow we missed the last issue. Since we couldn't find the final issue The Ambassador just bought the graphic novel when it came out. Superstar writer, Jason Aaron, created Men of Wrath with living legend artist and longtime collaborator, Ron Garney. Experienced colorist, Matt Milla, throws in with this motley crew. 

As Jason Aaron states in his introduction and we emulated in our comic book podcast reviews, this is rougher, meaner, and unlike anything Ron Garney has done before. We were so impressed with how dark and gritty this was in comparison to his other work. I had read Ultimate Captain America with Aaron & Garney but that was leagues different from this. There are few things I enjoy more in comics than seeing an artist grow and expand themselves like Garney does in this. Ron excels at expression in the eyes. The eyes tell so much, have so much emotion and bring a level of intensity that is unmatched. There is an egregious amount of detail in each panel, page, landscape, character, face. Matt Milla's colors set the tone throughout this book and especially the various timelines. Just to be clear this is not a time travel story.

The story does span over time. It's a story about legacy. It's starts on a farm in Alabama back in 1903. Isom Rath got into an argument that day that lead him to stabbing a man. That man died. Isom's son saw it all. That created a blood lust that went on for generations of Rath's. The actual story focuses on the meanest most ruthless Rath there's ever been, Ira. He's a hitman, finds out he has cancer, and receives a job to kill his own son. You see the story play out as father and son struggle between fighting or giving into this blood lust that has plagued their family for generations.

If you've read anything by Jason Aaron before you know his work is solid. The story and characters are unpredictable, fresh, and unique. When you get Aaron and Garney together you see fireworks because their chemistry is magical. Jason kills it on dialogue. Together Ron and Jason slay the story. They have never done anything like this as a team before. Here's to hoping they do more.  Jason Aaron and Ron Garney create a new, different, intriguing, short, intense, magnificent tale of family, violence, blood, death, desperation, hate, evil, and a curse.

Grade: STRONG BUY!!!

Weapon X #4 $3.99

Writer: Greg Pak

Penciler: Greg Land

Inker: Jay Leisten

Colorist: Frank D' Armata

Domino, Old Man Logan, Sabretooth, and the Totally Awesome Hulk take the fight to a retrofitted oil rig out in the ocean that is the facility where the adamantium robots are being created that have been tracking and attacking them. It's great because this group of mutants are killers with this naive inexperienced Hulk that refuses to allow them to kill. This especially becomes an issue when they release Deathstrike. When they try to interrogate the scientists the facility starts self destructing. The true culprit is revealed at the end and what's to come continues to be teased. It's intriguing and awesome, looks phenomenal. Amadeus bugs me but I get why he's there, his motive, and his no kill rule adds an interesting element. My favorite part had to be when Victor shoots him in the face to piss him off. That's another intriguing factor that this book capitalizes on, the fact that Amadeus either doesn't know how or chooses not to tap into the full potential of Hulks strength through anger and rage. Colors were strong, inks, and pencils were solid. Visually it's top notch.

Superman #24 $2.99
Story: Patrick Gleason(@patrick_gleason) & Peter J. Tomasi(@PeterJTomasi)
Pencils: Doug Mahnke & Patrick Gleason
Inkers: Jaime Mendoza, Mick Gray(@inkermick), Joe Prado(@Joe_Prado), and Doug Mahnke
Colorists: Wil Quintana, John Kalisz(@jkalisz), Hi-Fi(@hificolor)
It starts with a flashback to when Manchester Black was in space. Some aliens got attacked and they ask for his help. Then we have a similar situation in Hamilton now except it's the townsfolk and they are essentially saying that the Elite's presence has actually made things worse. Superman goes to find his son. Manchester show up with him, explains his plan. They duke it out a little bit. Supes releases his allies from Black's pods. Then he turn Jon against his father. I appreciated the art a lot. I was impressed with it. I thought it was well done. The story felt like it was missing something. I know of Manchester Black and the Elite's because of the animated DC movie but I still felt a little lost. There's definitely a lot of unexplained history especially for readers that know nothing about this guy, his group, and past with Superman. That hurts this book and arc the most. Besides that this is solid. If you know nothing of these characters though you just might want to skip this arc.
Grade: BUY!!

Green Arrow #24 $2.99
Story: Benjamin Percy(@benjamin_percy)
Art and color: Juan Ferreyra(@juaneferreyra)
This has Green Arrow traversing underground to get to a Ninth Circle temple under Queen industries like a side-scrolling video game. Once he get there it changes as he faces down the boss and his lackeys. All the while the rest of his crew, Arsenal, Red Arrow(his sister, Emi), and Black Canary, are doing their thing and taking on two of the Four Horsemen. This book is mostly comprised of two page spreads/layouts. The panels designs and structures are brilliant, unique, but also classic and practical at times. It works perfectly. It's a magnificent work of art. I think this arc would be better in trade but nonetheless this book is pure excellence. This book is what I wish the show was. 
Grade: STRONG BUY!!!

Aquaman #24 $2.99
Story: Dan Abnett
Pencils: Scot Eaton & Philippe Briones
Inks: Wayne Faucher, Philippe Briones, & Scott Hanna(@inkerscott1)
Colors: Gabe Eltaeb
In this issue we have Mera pleading with Arthur to just leave Atlantis and go back to their life in Amnesty Bay. The Atlantean council makes their final decision on who will be king. The king immediately utilizes a barrier to protect the city called the crown of thorns. It gets pretty intense at the end as Mera comes to aid. It looks solid all the way through. Probably not the best jumping on point but it's pretty clear cut and dry. I can't wait to see what Aquaman does next.
Grade: STRONG BUY!!!
