Ghostbusters: Legion, Ares (Limited Series), Battle Pope (Complete) and What if… v4 and v5. April 2, 2007
Posted by ExileLost in : Comics, ExileLost, Marvel , trackbackThis is a lot of great material and will hopefully keep you satisfied for the month of April as the updates I will contribute will be very slim. This is due to the fact that my college year is almost over thus I have many papers and exams to take care of. Now onto the comics…
Ghostbusters: Legion
From Wikipedia
“Ghostbusters: Legion is a four-part comic miniseries published by the Quebec based publisher, 88MPH Studios run by Canadian Sebastien Clavet. A proposed follow up series from the same comic publisher was announced but has since been cancelled.
Legion saw the return of the four Ghostbusters and the principal cast from the movie. Set six months on from the Gozer incident the series was designed to follow the Ghostbusters as their initial fame faded and they returned to the regular chore of busting ghosts on a daily basis. The series sees the team run ragged as a spate of supernatural crimes and other related occurrences plague the city.”

Ares (Limited Series)
From Wikipedia
“The 2006 mini-series begins with Ares living a relatively peaceful life with his son, Alexander. This life is interrupted when Hermes visits Ares with a request…help Olympus fight off a new threat from the east, Amatsu-Mikaboshi (the Japanese god of evil). Taking advantage of the chaos left by the fall of Asgard and the Norse pantheon, Mikaboshi planned to extend his influence by capturing Olympus and crushing the Olympian gods. With the Olympians defeated, Mikaboshi hoped to cow all the other pantheons into surrendering. To this end, Mikaboshi laid siege to Olympus, which was very close to succeeding.”

Battle Pope (Complete)
Actually it is missing the final color issue due to it not being released yet… but I will post it when it is released.
It is one of Robert Kirkman’s first works! Yes, the man who writes The Walking Dead, Invincible and Marvel Zombies! This also includes the Saint Michael Limited Series.
From Wikipedia
“Battle Pope is an independent comic book created by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore, which was published by their own small press company under the moniker of Funk-O-Tron originally in 2000 and reprinted in color by Image Comics in 2005, with plans to possibly continue it with new stories after collecting the original material.
The book tells the tale of a hard drinking, womanizing Pope condemned by God for his own evil ways, who is called to action to save Saint Michael, with the help of Jesus H. Christ, becoming mankind’s final hope in a world overrun by demons following the Rapture.”

What if… Volumes 4 and 5
From Wkipedia
Volume 4
“Another series of six one-shots was released cover-dated February 2006. , but these more closely resembled their DC Comics equivalent, Elseworlds. While traditionally, What If…? posed a specific question and told a story based on a divergence from regular continuity via a different outcome of a specific event, Elseworlds are usually simply new continuities that tell stories are alternate versions of established characters based around the different time period or location the story is set in (for example, Superman: Red Son, in which Superman was raised in the Soviet Union instead of the United States). All but one of these new What If…? one-shots followed this approach, focusing on different time periods within the shared universe of Earth-717 which first diverged during the feudal Japan era with the emergence of a Daredevil hero known as The Devil Who Dares. The stories go through other historical eras and heroes, including Captain America battling “The White Skull” during the Civil War, Wolverine taking the role of The Punisher and fighting mobsters in 1920s Chicago (which was more than likely a continuation of the Wolverine Story Origins), Sub-Mariner being raised by his father on the surface during World War II, Thor becoming a herald of Galactus and a Russian version of Fantastic Four known as The Ultimate Federalist Freedom Fighters being a part of the Cold War. All of these stories are portrayed as historical documents from an alternate dimension discovered by a talented young hacker calling himself The Watcher.”
Volume 5
“It was recently announced at Wizard World Chicago that there will be a new What If…? series, published at the end of 2006. According to Marvel.com’s own online catalog and Wizard #180, this series will focus on alternate outcomes of major storylines, such as Age of Apocalypse, Avengers Disassembled, Spider-Man: The Other, Wolverine: Enemy of the State, and X-Men: Deadly Genesis.”
