Wisdom #1
The usual suspects.
Comic Book Comics #1
I read some good buzz on this title, and the premise sounded interesting (a history of comics told in comic book format), so I've been keeping an eye out for it. But somehow I must have missed it, because Chris Sims had a review up of it last week. So I'm going to try to track it down this week.
New releases
Abe Sapien: The Drowning #2
Abe's first solo mission continues! With tentacles! Bound to be fun.
Annihilation: Conquest #5
The penultimate issue of this epic space action miniseries. Looking forward to it very, very much.
B.P.R.D.: 1946 #3
Hey, two Hellboy-verse books in one week! Lucky me! This one sees Bruttenholm and friends heading into an abandoned asylum at night, which is never a recipe for a fun time. Making things worse is the fact that this abandoned asylum is full of starving Nazi vampires! Awesome.
Fantastic Four #555
The great new FF continues with a look at New Earth, and apparently also a look at the Torch naked - with a supervillain! Uh oh.
The Goon #22
This issue the Zombie Priest freaks out and unleashes something really, really terrible on the Goon. Sounds familiar, but I'm sure it'll be fun.
Green Lantern Corps #22
A look into the life of Alpha-Lantern Boodikka concludes in this second and final part of the "Curse of the Alpha-Lantern" storyline. I'm not a huge fan of the character, but the over-arching story is very interesting.
Hedge Knight II: Sworn Sword #5
The comic adaptation of George R.R. Martin's story reaches its penultimate issue here, and all signs point to war.
Last Defenders #1
This is a new miniseries featuring the actual real return of the superhero team known as the Defenders, this time sans copyright violations and trademark infringements. It's being written by Joe Casey, who apparently is the same guy who's doing that Iron Man: Enter the Mandarin miniseries that I really don't like. But the premise of the book is interesting, so I'll give it a try.
Nova #11
Just as we have two Hellboy-verse books this week, we also get two awesome Marvel space titles. Good stuff.
Serenity: Better Days #1
Joss Whedon is apparently liking how he can bring all his dead TV series back to life in comic book form, because now he's doing it again with this new miniseries. Yes, he's actually writing it. Well, co-writing it. So it should be good! Hopefully. Also, this is set in between the events of Firefly and Serenity, so all our favorite characters are still alive, which is a plus.
Superman #674
I don't believe I've tried this book yet (although I could be wrong), and since it seems to be starting a new arc at the moment, I thought I'd take a stab at it.
Thunderbolts #119
I'm definitely pleased to see another issue of this great Warren Ellis series on the release schedule, especially since everything had just started going seriously crazy last issue.
Wolverine #63
I wasn't a huge fan of Wolverine #62, which was the start of a new story arc for this book by Jason Aaron, but it was intriguing enough that I'm back for another go. We'll see how things turn out this time. |
