Comics for the Week of April 3rd

First off I'm sorry I missed last week. I was caught up all last weekend playing in Grand Prix Pittsburgh for MTG and I didn't get to write anything up. I didn't even get to pick up my books until the beginning of this week. Sunday Reviews will resume this weekend.

Now that that's out of the way, this is the first week I've had that has no DC pulls on it in years. Possibly since I restarted having a pull list. I know I've talked about it before but DC just isn't putting out a very good product right now and I really hope that they pull it together. Unfortunately what I liked about their universe seems to be precisely what they're trying to avoid.

Comics for the Week of 03/06/2013

DARK HORSE COMICS

Hellboy In Hell #3 - I caught up with Hellboy in Hell a few days ago on a B.P.R.D. binge. We have Hell boy meeting his family and possibly killing The Devil. Maybe. I'm not entirely sure what's happened in these issues and I'm not entirely sure Mingola is either. I'm giving it one more but I may be keeping my Dark Horse buys to the land of the living.

DC COMICS

Animal Man #18 - This and Swamp Thing will be my final issues of the titles for the foreseeable future. I feel that they took what should have been a great twelve issue storyline for each book and made them into a bloated 19 issue mess. And it still hasn't resolved.

Swamp Thing #18 - I won't be staying on for the new writer. I haven't heard anything any him, good or bad, I'm just not feeling this version of Swamp Thing anymore. Which is a shame because historically he's had several runs that would make my short list of favorite ever.

IMAGE COMICS

Bedlam #5 - SMEARING CATS ON THE WALL!

MARVEL COMICS

Age of Ultron #1 - Flashpoint with Ultron? A big ol' Marvel time travel story? I hope its fun. It doesn't have to be amazing, just be fun.

All-New X-Men #8 - In line with Marvel's current mission statement to make the X and Avengers portions of their shared universe interact more we get The Avengers visiting to check out the Original X-Men at the Jean Grey School. Here's hoping we have something as fun as Captain America's visit from AVX. Danger Room sessions for everybody!

Avengers #7 - Its white event time! I have no idea what that means! Despite having read way, way too many comics I've never read anything relating to the New Universe or Ellis' Newuniversal series before. Going in completely fresh is a welcome experience so I'm not even going to Wiki any of these characters coming up.

Cable and the X-Force #5 - This book gets a little worse with each issue. If it wasn't for the fact that its my roommate who buys it I'd stop reading it.

Iron Man #7 - I recently caught up with the current Iron Man run thanks to picking up some store credit at a shop I went to last Saturday. I'm really enjoying how Gillien writes Tony. He's obviously taking his cues from the movieverse version but since that's easily the most successful version of the character its fine by me. I'm guessing that the current Godkiller arc in which he's being tried for the Death of the Phoenix will end with Tony meeting up with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Speaking of which that puts him in what, 4 ongoings as a regular cast member right now? Remember when they just did that with Wolverine?

Superior Spider-Man #5 - Man, Spider-Ock is pretty bad at doing... well, pretty much anything on a day to day basis, isn't he? He can't even handle "don't jump straight to human trials on experimental technology", can he?

And the rest of the comics.

Comics for the Week of 2/13/2013

Dark Horse

BPRD: Hell on Earth: Abyss Time #2 - I have a bad habit of falling behind on BPRD. I tend to read it in 3 or 4 issue installments. The last part I read was the final issue of The Return of the Master. I had a feeling it wasn't Rasputin. He seemed too obvious and Mingola had talked about how his story was over before.

Star Wars #2 - The first issue was good even with the whole Leia as a pilot thing. I don't have a problem with the concept, just that we've never seen her fly anything before then. It felt out of place. Darth Vader the office bitch was more then enough to make up for it though.

DC Comics

Batman #17 - So its Jason Todd's face, right?

Image

Bedlam #4 - This comic just gets freakier and freakier. The last issue had anatomically correct angels and serial killer art. I'm curious how Spencer is going to writer Madder out of his impending arrest. I really hope it won't be a cop out.

Fatale #12 - Another of the Done in One issues for Brubaker And Phillips' Horror Noir series. The last issue with the man, his mother and elder gods was my favorite of the series so far. If Brubaker can keep delivering that kind of quality then I'm really looking forward to the back half of this series.

The End Times of Bram and Ben #2 - I picked up #1 a few weeks ago after seeing some pretty good reviews and I was glad I did. This was a really fun comic about an average guy who accidentally gets taken to heaven in The Rapture then is sent back. Everyone else just carries on as usual because not enough people ascended for it to be obvious, all they know is that there were some mysterious disappearances. And they flat out deny the idea that it could have been the Rapture.

The Manhattan Projects #9 - We're supposed to find out the plans of a lot of the players in this issue. I'm most intrigued by Alternate Einstein. We know he's a son of a bitch but I'd really like to find out how much of one he is. Thinking about it I'd like a little more character work out of this series overall. We're getting big, bold strokes but its all moving very fast with very little time spent on the player.

Marvel

Cable and the X-Force #4 - I wouldn't be reading this if my roommate wasn't buying it. Its not particularly bad, but its not particularly good either. I do like the cast as I've always thought Forge had a lot of potential as a character. And Dr. Nemesis is always fun.

Uncanny X-Men #1 - Brian Michael Bendis is a real mixed bag when it comes to superhero comics. He's written one of the best runs in modern comics with his Daredevil but he's also written some god awful team books in his run. So far his All-New X-Men has been surprisingly good. I'm hoping that carries over into Uncanny.

Wolverine and the X-Men #25 - Now this book I might have to start getting myself if my roommate ever stops. Its got everything I want in an X-title, a big messy cast, random connections to other comics, and my boy Quentin Quire. And it even look like Broo is up and about. Even if he is a bit... hungry.

And now for something else, I've noticed that a good number of my hits are coming from people searching for the weeks shipping lists so from now on after my pulls I'll be adding the weeks entire list. And feel free to share what you're getting in the comments.

Comics for the week of 01/23/2013

DC COMICS

JSA: The Liberty Files: The Whistling Skull #2 - The first issue of this did NOT hook me at all. Its a shame because I lived both of the previous Liberty Files minis. Part of the problem is probably the title character of The Whistling Skull. He was originally planned to be a creator owned property who has somehow gotten folded into the Liberty Files line. He's really not working for me, and since he's the focus of the first issue it didn't work for me. I'm hoping issue 2 will bring more of the characters I enjoyed from the first two minis back.

Legion of Super-Heroes #16 - I still haven't gotten caught up with my Legion reading. I think that'll be a project for the weekend if I have a few free hours.

Nightwing #16 - It seems like I'm alone in my feelings on Death of the Family. I think its boring as hell. I'm otherwise enjoying Kyle Higgens Nightwing run. He's been focusing on Dick's circus past and his interactions with the Daughter of Tony Zucco, his parents killer. I'd like to see more of that and less tie ins.

Wonder Woman #16 - Brain Azzarello did the impossible twice for me on this book. First he got me  interested in reading a Wonder Woman ongoing. The second was to portray the Greek Gods in a manner that I can get behind. Normally they're done more cartoonish when used. Instead he focuses on the laundry list of flaws that define each of the Gods making them infinity more relatable. And while I'm not normally an "Art Guy" I just marvel at what Cliff Chiang does on this book. His character designs are perfect. They tell you so much about the character before they ever say a word.


Image Comics

Bedlam #3 -  After being jerked around by Morning Glories for twenty some issues and finding Thunder Agents to lack any kind of direction I had written off Nick Spencer. I picked this up solely on the recommendation of James Tynion IV. And I'm glad I did because its creepy as all hell. We've got a psychotic unwillingly trying to turn his life around and doing a terrible job of it. I just hope it can hold itself together instead of spiraling out into nothing like Morning Glories did.

Marvel Comics

Avengers #3 - I loved the first issue of Avengers. It was everything I want in what should be Marvel's flagship title. It had an epic feel to it that the so called event books never seem to capture. The secnd issue took a step back and gave us all of the new members a character moments. Both ended in the same place and I'm anxious to see how it comes together.

Deadpool #4 - I'd say about half of the jokes in this comic land. I doubt I'll be reading much past the current Dead Presidents storyline. Maybe if they keep the ghost of Ben Franklin around as a sidekick...

Uncanny Avengers #3 - This was supposed to be the centerpiece of the Marvel NOW launch and it might have been if it had shipped on time. Rick Remender is a writer who I've been paying a lot more attention to lately. I remember him doing the podcast circuit pretty hard about 5 or so years ago talking up creator owned books hard. Its a little odd for me to see him on so many company owned comics now. He's destroying them though, so I'm not going to complain. In a really odd twist John Cassaday's art might be the weakest part of this title. It might be a symptom of trying to meet his deadline but his art hasn't had the usual WOW factor on this that I've come to associate with him.

Uncanny X-Force #1 - So I just finished Remender's run on Uncanny X-Force a week or so ago and it was fantastic. Which means no matter how good this is it'll likely be disappointing because  its going to be compared to the last run. I'm still not even sure that I'm picking it up. I've yet to read anything by Sam Humphries so I don't know what to expect there. I might end up getting it just to see what the deal with Fantomex is going to be. I've got a soft spot for faux Frenchmen.

Wolverine and the X-Men #24 - Well I'm glad the last arc is over. The Frankenstein story was an issue too long and didn't do much of anything with the main cast. It seemed to serve nothing more than to make a change to one of the villains of this run. Despite that the Hellfire Club still hasn't gotten a whole lot of screen time here. I think if Aaron wants to keep shifting the focus onto them we need to get a proper arc with our students dealing with them instead of indirect moves and Wolverine grumping.
