Wisdom #1
The usual suspects.
Ultimate Fantastic Four #51
This is the first issue in a new story arc for this title. I was planning on picking it up a while back, but it didn't come out the week I was expecting, and then I forgot about it. This week the next issue is coming out, so I guess this one did actually get released at some point. I'll try picking both up. That should give me a good idea whether I should continue reading the series or not.
New releases
All-Star Superman #10
Hey, one of my first favorite series is finally back with a new issue! The summary on the DC website gives absolutely no hint as to what this issue is about, but it doesn't really matter; it's Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely working their magic on the man in blue yet again.
Dan Dare #5
Looks like Dan's really getting into the thick of things as commander of the fleet in this issue, and he might have to seriously consider giving himself over to the Mekon to save humanity. This has been a surprisingly excellent series so far, so I'm looking forward to the new issue.
Gravel #2
It goes without saying that I am very excited to see a new entry out this week in Warren Ellis' series following the most bad-ass combat magician of all time as he attempts to track down the fragments of a powerful and dangerous parchment, and figure out why and how he got kicked out of the Minor Seven.
Green Lantern #29
Sadly, this excellent series is taking a detour, starting with this issue, to do yet another retelling of the secret origin of Hal Jordan. But hopefully that won't be as boring and pointless as it sounds.
Jack of Fables #21
Apparently the group is putting on Hamlet in this issue? Okay, I'm cool with that.
Secret History of the Authority: Jack Hawksmoor #1
This is the start of a new six-issue miniseries from Wildstorm that puts the spotlight on the character of Authority member Jack Hawksmoor, and takes a look at what he was doing all the way back before he even joined StormWatch. I'm not familiar with the author on this (Mike Costa), but I love Hawksmoor and the Authority and I'm always in search of a decent title about them. Here's hoping this is one!
Ultimate Fantastic Four #52
Like I said above, I'm giving this title a try, and this is the new issue out this week. Apparently Reed is fighting Thanos for the Cosmic Cube, and horrible things are happening to the other members of the Fantastic Four. Sounds intriguing...
Ultimate Human #3
And here's the other Warren Ellis title coming out this week - you know, the one about Hulk, Iron Man, and the Ultimate version of the Leader, who is actually Peter Wisdom, the guy from that Wisdom miniseries that I haven't gotten around to reading yet because I haven't found #1. The point is, Warren Ellis. It will be good, and I must own it. |
