Another Wednesday and whole week's worth of new comics has come and gone.  What did we read this week?  Well, lots of stuff, but you only get reviews for three tonight! One features gritty Gianfelice art, another has gorgeous Brooks art, and the third has creepy Rios art.

Dum Dum Dugan Makes his presence felt in the new Captain America movie. But where is Nick Fury?

In case you didn't know, Marvel has released an HD version of the Captain America: The First Avenger trailer.  You'll find it embedded below.

Full of teases, we also got a bunch of glimpses of SHIELD veteran Dum Dum Dugan in action.  I wonder if he's going to have a much larger role than previously suspected?

Dugan looking dapper with a massive gun in this quick cut.

IDW's "The Cape" makes sure to distance itself from the NBC show of the same name

In case you were unaware, NBC is currently airing a TV show title "The Cape" centered around a man adopting the persona of his son's favorite superhero and going through the motions to become a legitimate crimefighter in his own right.  I haven't seen past the first couple of episodes, but it was possibly the most campy show on television since the 60s Batman series.  Perhaps wisely, IDW has sought to distance its new miniseries with same title in its June solicits.  See below for the actual solicit.

Mild-Mannered Monday Reviews: Captain America and Crossbones, Xombi #1, and Hulk #30.1

Another day, another three reviews.  This week we've got a villain spotlight, a resurgence of an old Milestone character, and the intro of a brand new Red Hulk villain.

Wild Wednesday Reviews: PunisherMAX #11, Venom #1, and Cinderella: Fables are Forever #2

Well dear readers, it's been too long since I've gotten to review some comics, so I'm back with another Wednesday triple feature.  This week we're going to be taking a look at a lover's quarrel of a different sort, a rival's quarrel and the quarrel between man and symbiote.

Five Women Making a Splash in Comics: Gail Simone, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Rebekah Isaacs, Emanuela Luppachino and Janet Lee

Seeing as today is International Women's Day, we here at Crakkajamma thought it would be appropriate to highlight some female creators whose work you should be following.  While comics have traditionally, and to an extent still are, a male dominated industry, more and more women having breaking onto the scene.  All of the creators bring their own unique sensibilities to their projects and often create projects that read like little else on the shelves today. Seriously, why aren't you reading their books already?

Three Series to Try Out This Wednesday: Comic Book Comics #5, Magus #3, and Cinderella: Fables are Forever #5

It's been too long since out last update, but we're going to be back in full force this week!  Onto your regularly scheduled feature!

The Brick! Most successful Marvel villain organization of all time?

Possibly the most successful criminal undertaking of all time, the Brick has long been a menace to Marvel Universe heroes and their allies.  It's been around since the creation of the Marvel Universe, and yet, for some bizarre reason known only to the creators of the Marvel Universe, Earth's heroes have yet to bring this mortar-bound perpetrator of assault, murder, genetic experimentation, and hate crimes to justice!  To fully understand how deep the savagery of this nefarious organization goes, let's take a quick tour of its history.

Spider-Man

The Brick has long been a brutal member of Spidey's rogues for decades now.  Just look at these crimes:

Unlawful Genetic Experimentation

He did kind of deserve it, wearing a lab
coat to a construction site and all.

Here, we see a group of bricks, or "wall" as they're colloquially known, emerge from their hiding places at a local construction site and trap a once happy high school student, experiment upon him and transform him into a hideous monstrosity in their own image.  The Brick has the audacity to play God with hapless teenagers and yet, no justice has been served.  Fortunately for the general Marvel Universe public, it appears the Brick's experiment failed spectacularly and the Brick soon abandoned its scientific ventures.
