Wolverine: Wendigo! #1 (One-Shot)
CBR | Jan 2010 | 53 Pages | 41.2 MB
This one-shot comes from Marvel's online digital comic series "Monsters, Myths & Marvels" exploring the many such creatures and entities that populate the Marvel Universe. This time it's about the mythical savage creature known as the Wendigo. Both the Wendigo and Wolverine had their very first appearance in Incredible Hulk #180 (October 1974) which, for those who follow my posts, was reprinted in full in King-Size Hulk #1 (Released May 29, 2008) that I posted as part of the Hulk Vol. 2 current and complete series compilation (link in details). In that King-Size the Wendigo also appears in the main feature versus the Red Hulk.
A camera crew torn limb from limb attempting to shoot footage of a mythical beast in the deepest forests of Canada. Two survivors spouting wildly diverging stories about a ferocious, white-furred monster and the mysterious stranger that came to their rescue. How are the police to make heads or tails of all of this? Let's go to the videotape! Also featuring: 'Wolverine Vs. Thor': Want to see what happens when a jerky-chewing kanuckle-head steps up to the Asgardian God of Thunder? Let's just say that it doesn't involve tea and biscuits. Featuring Wolverine and Logan in their first encounter, which first debuted on MARVEL DIGITAL COMICS.

Siege: Storming Asgard - Heroes & Villains #1 (One-Shot)
CBR | Feb 2010 | 31 Pages | 16.4 MB
Siege: Storming Of Asgard Heroes And Villains #1 is a one-shot that goes over in more detail about all of the players in Marvel Comics' The Siege event. The bios are purportedly framed and written by H.A.M.M.E.R. agents. This comic actually has all the info one needs to be fully briefed about all the details of the recent happenings of the Marvel Universe, such as the White Queen and Namor teaming up and rebelling against Normal Osborn, or how Steve Rogers' return is not publicly known yet, or that there are 5 Avengers teams (sorry if I've spoiled things). My gripe is that this one-shot should have been released before all other issues on the Siege event. Other than that, it may actually help in sorting out all the Siege-related titles, miniseries and crossovers that have been or will be, published.
Since the shocking finale of SECRET INVASION vaulted him to national prominence and a newfound respect, Norman Osborn has been slowly organizing his power base, promoting his minions, eliminating his enemies – and losing his sanity. Now, as he meets with the uber-powerful elite of the Cabal – Doctor Doom, Loki and the Hood – the final stages of his Dark Reign are about to be put into fruition: the taking of Asgard. Some might say such a plan is insane. And when you're dealing with the former and possibly future Green Goblin, we're not going to necessarily disagree with you!
SIEGE: STORMING ASGARD – HEROES & VILLIANS takes you inside the careful planning behind Osborn's crusade to take the kingdom of Thor off the board. Who are the featured players in the saga, how did we get here, and what are the many contingencies in this operation? With insider character bios and commentary from the creators behind the Dark Siege, this will make essential reading for kicking off the event in style!

Siege: The Cabal #1 (One-Shot)
CBR | Jan 2010 | 31 Pages | 35.5 MB
THE SIEGE STARTS HERE!! Remember when you were first introduced to the Cabal, the gathering of the most sinister members of the Marvel Universe, and you said to yourself: Well, that's going to blow up in everyone's face! Well, you were right and it happens right here!! Norman Osborn faces off with Doctor Doom and his mysterious threat to Doom is revealed. All of this is setting the stage for next month's explosive event: SIEGE! By: Brian Michael Bendis, Michael Lark, David Finch
Yes, indeed, The Siege starts with this one-shot. And okay... okay, for this I take back what I said earlier in my Dark Avengers Annual #1(2010) post about Brian Michael Bendis making a mess of things; obviously when you've had seven years to think things over (The Siege which is of course the next big event in the Marvel Universe is being hyped as "seven years in the making") you'd have things properly put in place. This one-shot is the prologue for The Siege and quite rightly sets the tone. From the very first panels the story grabs you by the gut and manages to hold you there, so that you can't wait for the subsequent Siege titles and series tie-ins.
Let's talk about the principal character Norman Osborn. Granted that he is a brilliant scientist in his own right--and a brilliant tactician and strategist, to have achieved what he has achieved and to get where he is now. But he is no Reed Richards. When you take on Dr. Doom and his new-found powers in the current continuity head-on you better be more than diabolical--you have to be as superlative as Mr. Fantastic, and then some. And between the God of Mischief who leeringly outlines for Norman Osborn the steps he has to take and that embedded persona from his past inside his head, well, you have to be really dumb not to suspect Norman's in for a fall. The fun, though, is in reading, and learning, and waiting how all this is going to come about. At first I thought including a preview into the main storyline title series The Siege #1 would be a giveaway; but in context of all that's going to happen, I can't wait for that first issue to which this one-shot segues. Bendis is in fine form here, and so are the art team. Oh and one other thing: at the last page is the checklist for the Siege crossover event of 2010.
