Geekscape Comics: Weekend Reads!

by Karson

Welcome to Weekend Reads! It’s your little, weekly dose of comic book goodness that focuses on some aspect of my weekend reading!

This week, I didn’t find much to read.

The Reads:

Amazing Spider-Man (2015-) 009-000
Amazing Spider-Man #9 by Dan Slott and Giuseppe Camuncoli
Mockingbird (2016-) 001-000
Mockingbird #1 by Chelsea Cain and Kate Niemczyk
I’m still down on this book, honestly, I don’t even feel like composing a paragraph about Amazing Spider-Man so…
* It’s Spider-Man in space
* If you like Dan Slott, read Silver Surfer
* If you like Spider-Man, read Brian Michael Bendis’ Spider-Man
* If you’re a die-hard Spider-Man fan, you’ll probably find something to like in this book
* The art is excellentHere is my thought pattern when deciding to read Mockingbird…

 A comic based on The Hunger Games… wait, no… it’s that character in Agents of SHIELD… don’t really recognize the creative team… I’ll probably pass… wait, I don’t really have anything else to read… Ok, I’ll check it out.

Mockingbird has potential. The first issue is a whole lot of questions and not a lot of answers. We meet Barbara, who is required to attend weekly checkups at a local SHIELD medical facility to monitor the potential side effects of two experimental treatments she received. The writer, Cain brings a lot of humor to Barbara’s character but the story itself is all over the place. This book jumps from scene to scene leaving a lot of blanks in between that will be filled in during later issues. I think this is a gutsy move for a book that isn’t going to have a strong readership going into it. It makes it really hard to get into.

I’m a fan of Niemczyk’s use of colors throughout the book. A lot of the panels pop off the page but some of the faces and bodies she draws feel just a little off. I know this is probably weird to say, but all the characters have way too much blush…

And that is it for this week! If you’re looking for some solid pickups check out last week’s article, there are three awesome books there. Check in next week when I discuss…

* Power Man and Iron Fist #2
* Extraordinary X-Men #8
… and maybe something by a studio other than Marvel!

Marvel Reveals First Synopsis For Mockingbird & Lance Hunter Spinoff ‘Most Wanted’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We’ve been eagerly awaiting any news about Marvel and ABC’s upcoming Mockingbird and Lance Hunter spinoff, Most Wanted for what feels like forever now (actually, since the series was confirmed back in August), and while we still don’t know a lot about what we can expect when the series premieres (probably) later in 2016, the very first synopsis has just been revealed.

Marvel’s Most Wanted “Centers on Bobbi Morse (a.k.a. Mockingbird) and Lance Hunter of “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., two ex-spies and ex-spouses who are on the run with no friends, no S.H.I.E.L.D. and a long list of enemies looking to claim a bounty on their heads. Able to trust no one but each other, Bobbi and Hunter form an uneasy alliance with Dominic Fortune, a rogue adventurer with a wealth of resources and even more adversaries, who agrees to protect them so long as they help him with his own agenda. These two heroes will help anyone in need, all while trying to uncover the conspiracy that put their own lives in jeopardy.”

Yep. As expected, this one sounds just as fun as Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Marvel’s Agent Carter have been thus far.

Are you looking forward to the series? How do you feel about Adrianne Palicki as Mockingbird? Be sure to sound out in the comments below!

Mockingbird-Centric Marvel Series Gets A Pilot Order At ABC!

by Bigyanks

According to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC has put out a pilot order for a new Marvel television series based on “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” character Mockingbird, as portrayed by Adrianne Palicki. The working title of the show is “Marvel’s Most Wanted” which will focus on Bobbi Morse and her lover boy Lance Hunter, played by Nick Blood.

I have to say that Bobbi and Lance were my favorite part of the second half of this season. Both actors played off each other really well dramatically and comedically. I’m just curious to see if the spinoff will run concurrent to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or take place in the past.

In the meantime “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”s third season premieres Tuesday, September 29 at 9 pm EST on ABC.

‘Agent’s Of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ Spinoff In The Works!

by Shane O'Hare

Looks like ABC and Marvel want to keep the Agent’s of S.H.I.E.L.D. money train a going.

Deadline reported just moments ago that the spinoff series will star Adrianne Palicki & Nick Blood. They will be reprising their repsective roles as Mockingbird and Lance Hunter.

According to Deadline, the spinoff series will be setup by events in the current season of Agent’s of S.H.I.E.L.D. It’s still speculation whether it has anything to do with the teased hidden plot we’ve been given.

More details will be released once a script has been given as ABC says they will not be giving a greenlight until they have one in hand.

What are you thoughts on this possible spinoff series? Do you think Marvel is fragmenting their universe too much or spreading their creative talent too thin with all of these projects? We’d love to hear your opinion!
