There are no big weeks anymore.
Supergirl #55 – Still a bright spot in DC’s line-up,but I’m going to miss Jamal Igle when he goes.
Amazing Spider-Man #640 – Second part of One Moment In Time was stronger than the first, with some surprisingly sharp writing. Maybe there’s hope for this arc yet.
Web Of Spider-Man #11 – Ah, Web, you red-headed Spider-Step-Child you. You never really stood a chance when Amazing was touted as the stories that count, did you?
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Riley – AKA The Story Nobody Asked For. As one of the few people who actually liked Riley, I’ll be picking this up even as the regular series underwhelms. But still – there can’t have been a huge demand for this can there?
On the trades front this week…
Siege Thor HC - This should be arriving next week. Ridiculous pricing on Marvel trades these days, but it just about makes sense with the Amazon discount.
X-Factor Second Coming HC – At some point I’ll pick this up but I’m so far behind on X-Factor trades that it’s not even funny. The last issues I read were during Secret Invasion, before that Messiah Complex and before that I dropped to switch to trades around #18 or so. I should probably actually pick up a trade or two at some point.
Here we go… Red Robin #12 – The end of the first year, and the last issue before Fabian Nicieza takes over the book. Still a great read, and Tim Drake remains one of the best characters in the DCU. War of the Supermen #1 – I was looking forward to this but after the [Read More...]
Well, this is interesting. One of those weeks with lots of #1s…and very little I’m definitely picking up… Avengers: The Origin #1 – You know, I love the original Avengers. I enjoyed the hell out of Joe Casey’s Earth Mightiest Heroes books. I even have the Avengers #1/2 issue that came out from Wizard a [Read More...]
Another week, another pull list… Green Lantern #52 – In which something tangentially related to Blackest Night occurs which won’t be referred to in the main series. Justice League: The Rise of Arsenal #1 – I enjoyed last week’s Green Arrow (even if I wasn’t a huge fan of the art) and I always liked [Read More...]
A pretty small week for me this week, thankfully – Adventure Comics #8 – The seeds for the whole ‘Legion in the 21st Century’ thing have been sown for a while and seems to be coming together with the Last Stand of New Krypton but I wonder if this was this the original intent – [Read More...]
Well, I haven’t got to the store for last week on account of being in the UK (and yes, I know there are comic stores here too – I was in a couple in Manchester on Saturday, Forbidden Planet and Traveling Man, but I don’t see the point in spending more money to buy comics [Read More...]
I’m even stupider than I thought. I accidentally added this to be posted in the PM instead of the AM, which means that my last post makes little sense. Maybe now it will. After what has been a heavy few weeks, this one is finally a little smaller. Batman & Robin #5 – I was [Read More...]
