| The Setup |
 by Fëanor |
Fëanor's weekly comic book wish list.
This is coming after the fact this week, as I just didn't have time to write it before I went to the store; in fact, I went in blind, without a list of any kind! Thankfully, I know what I like well enough that I didn't really need a list. But I felt like I still owed you guys the post, so here you go!
Back issues and old data
Apparat Volume 1
Astonishing X-Men Volume 3: Torn
Batman: The Doom that Came to Gotham #3
Batman/Grendel
Black Summer #0 or Black Summer Alpha
Desolation Jones
Fell: Feral City Volume One
The Goon Volume 3: Heaps of Ruination
Heavy Liquid
Infinite Crisis
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind Volume 3
Red/Tokyo Storm Warning
Reload
Scalped Volume 1: Indian Country
Scalped Volume 2: Casino Boogie
Star Trek Year Four
Star Wars: Dark Times Volume 1 - Path to Nowhere
Strange Killings: Body Orchard
Strange Killings: Necromancer
Strange Killings: Strong Medicine
Wisdom #1
The usual suspects.
New releases
George R.R. Martin's Wild Cards: Hard Call #1
Although I love Martin's Song of Ice and Fire novels, I've actually never read anything else by him, including his superhero series, Wild Cards. I'm not actually sure why that is, so when I saw that they were doing a comic book adaptation, I figured it was time to jump on in.
B.P.R.D. 1946 #4
Woo hoo! New Mignola!
Goon #23
I used to be a lot more excited when a new issue of Goon came out, but last issue really kind of let me down. Here's hoping this one will turn things around.
Serenity: Better Days #2
The only thing that disappoints me about this series is that there's only going to be three issues. Which means there's only one more after this one. But hopefully it will do well so there will be more Serenity storylines on the way.
Green Lantern Corp #23
The cover of this issue features a couple of our favorite Lanterns drowning under a tide of rings, and the tagline "Many Rings to Kill Them All!" or something like that. The point is, it's hilarious, but also ominous and intriguing. Looking forward to it!
Aqua Leung Volume 1
I read an article about this one in Comic News. Despite the silly title (a Jethro Tull pun? Really?), it sounds like it might be a pretty dark, epic story about a young boy who discovers his heritage as a prince of Atlantis and sets out to do whatever he needs to do to take his throne. The story is being released in a series of graphic novel volumes, each of which tell a complete, whole story, instead of in individual issues. I'm curious.
Criminal 2 #2
Another Criminal one-shot. And, no doubt, another masterpiece.
Fantastic Four #556
This is another comic that really let me down in the previous issue, but I'm still looking forward to seeing the FF facing off against a robotic killing machine named Cap.
Hedge Knight II: Sworn Sword #6
The second G.R.R. Martin comic adaptation out this week! I believe this is the final issue of this series, so it should be interesting to see how it all turns out.
Nova #12
My monthly dose of space adventure. Last issue was slightly dull, but I expect things will pick up this time.
Wolverine #64
Now that I have seen the light about Jason Aaron, I greet every title by him with great anticipation. And Wolverine is no exception. I suspect everything will start to go horribly wrong in the flashback story this week, and that Wolverine's chase of Mystique in the present will become even more brutal. |
