Pick of the Week:
Huck #4 - Holy twist, Mark Millar! Huck is the only superhero that is even more of a goody-goody than Superman and Captain America combined and his story has been one of the most endearing I have read in recent memory. Thanks to his powers going public, Huck has reconnected with his brother and has learned that his mom escaped from the Russians during the Cold War. Using his special abilities, Huck is on the trail of his mother, but being the good Samaritan he is, he is delayed in his efforts to help others along the way. This title needs to be developed into a television series or movie so that this story can reach the masses. This is the issue that cements it as a must read.
The Rest:
Birthright #14 - The tension between Mikey and Brennan reaches a boiling point in an emotional issue that is setting up an epic ending to the current arc. Brennan finally has had enough and stands up for himself in a series of panels that I can relate to as a younger brother. It is amazing to think about how composed he has been considering what his family has been through. This was the issue that humanized Brennan and Mikey's relationship and Joshua Williamson should be applauded for doing so in such a realistic fashion. Add in the drama that breaks at the end of the issue with their parents and we are fully set up for a truly special ending of this arc in the next issue.
