New releases
Buffy Season 8 #12
A writer from the TV series (Drew Goddard) takes over with this issue, and moves the setting to Japan. Sounds interesting. I just hope Goddard wrote the good episodes, and not the bad ones...
Cable #1
This is the launch of Philly author Duane Swierczysnki's new ongoing series, which is spinning out of the Messiah CompleX storyline. My old pal Ariel Olivetti is on art. I don't really care about Cable, I wasn't a fan of Messiah CompleX, and I've yet to read a comic by Swierczysnki that really blew me away. But despite all that, I'm still hoping I'll enjoy this comic. I know Swierczysnki is a good writer; maybe he just needed some time to figure out how to transfer his talent into the comics medium...
Green Lantern #28
More on the Alpha Lanterns, the trial of the Lost Lantern, and the Blackest Night. Loving this series!
Justice League: The New Frontier Special
I know putting out a comic to tie-in with the DVD release of New Frontier is just a shameless attempt to make me spend more money, but... what can I say? It works! This one-shot features lost tales from New Frontier, and behind-the-scenes bonus material from the movie, and I cannot resist it.
Logan #1
Brian K. Vaughan takes on Wolverine in this new three-issue miniseries about everybody's favorite Canadian who, now armed with all his memories, is heading out to settle an old score. Eduardo Risso is on art, and I understand from EverMike that he's good. We'll see!
Omega: The Unknown #6
Is anybody else reading this? I wonder. I think it's pretty fantastic. This issue promises funerals, college, and a glimpse of a comic-within-a-comic, so it should be interesting!
Scalped #15
Sounds like a creepy new character named Mr. Brass is going to be introduced here. Whatever, as long as it keeps being fantastic!
Star Trek Year Four
This is a collection from IDW of a series that's exploring what happened during the fourth year of the Enterprise's mission; essentially, it's Star Trek: Season Four. I'm curious. Not curious enough to actually buy the trade in the store this week, but this will go on my Amazon wish list. |
