Review Group Pick 10/1/14: Men of Wrath #1

Angus H had the pick and I think he picked a good book to cover, we'll find out on Wednesday.  (Will post link to the thread then)

Men of Wrath #1

Published: October 01, 2014
Writer: Jason Aaron
Cover Artist: Ron Garney 

Ever since Great Grandfather Isom killed a man over some sheep, a black cloud has hung over the Rath family. Now, over a century later, Ira Rath, the coldest hitman ever to walk on Alabama soil, has taken a job that will decide the fate of his cursed family once and for all. Writer Jason Aaron (Southern Bastards, Scalped) and artist Ron Garney (Weapon X, Thor: God of Thunder) team up once again, to bring you the story of a Southern family, whose only heirloom is violence.

Join in the fun on Wednesday at The Outhouse.

Find this book at your local comic shop or at Comixology.

Immortal Weapons #1

Immortal Weapons #1
Written by Jason Aaron & Duane Swierczynski
Illustrated by Various Artists

Aaron has showed himself as one of the rising stars in the medium. He has already once shown readers that he can handle the tongue-in-cheek humor and over-the-top action of the best chop-socky films. That book was called Wolverine: Manifest Destiny, even though it felt more like Sons of the Dragons. All of those skills in the genre are on display here.

To add insult to injury for lesser writers, the scribe adds enough emotional depth to the character to make an overweight and egotistical guy into a sympathetic character. His story is haunting and tragic. There is a sense of loss at the end that is inescapable. Certainly, with the majority of his career ahead of him, Aaron will be considered one of the greats of his field.

RIYL: Immortal Iron Fist, Wolverine: Manifest Destiny, Daughters of the Dragon, Daredevil
