I haven’t even got to the comic store for last week’s picks (well, I did but the smoke evacuation of Midtown Comics meant I didn’t have a chance to actually buy the comics) so this week will be a double whammy.
Red Robin #15 – I like the new pro-active stance that Nicieza is having Tim Drake take here. It sets him apart nicely from the other Bat-types running around Gotham. Good stuff.
Amazing Spider-Man #639 – Last issue was a mess, both art wise and story wise. I appreciate the attempt to use the original marriage issue as the basis for the changed history, but I would have enjoyed it more if the art for the ‘new’ history has actually meshed well with the art from the original. As for the story – well so far, it’s just a bit feeble. Mephisto turns into bird, lets criminal escape, Spidey knocked unconscious stopping criminal, misses wedding. That’s the best they could do? Roll on Big Time.
Darkstar And The Winter Guard #3 – This has been a great, enjoyable mini from Messrs Gallaher and Ellis. Recommend you pick it up!
Deadpool #1000 – I enjoy these oddly-numbered jam issues a lot, so I’ll get this.
New Mutants Forever #1 -One for the trades. I love the original New Mutants run, and I’m keen to see the new direction this heads in with Magneto as school head.
Spitfire #1 – Hello, English?
Young Allies #3 – Probably. As much as I like the idea of this book, so far something has just been missing. There’s potential, but it needs to kick it up a notch .
On the trade front -
Losers TP: Book 2 – Collecting the remaining issues #13-32 of the original series at a low price, I can’t recommend this enough, or the first volume which I raved about here.
