Comics

Finally getting around to looking at the list, here are some notables. Sorry this is late, been sick this week. :(

Alligator Loki #1 - Digital series in physical print, fun "read" (barely any dialog like "It's Jeff!")

Coda #1 - Sequel to a 2018 high fantasy series of the same name.

Cull #2 - Kelly Thompson's new book. Good artwork!

Danger Street #9 - I'm really just buying this hoping that by #12 it will somehow make sense and be mindblowing.

From The World Of Minor Threats The Alternates #1 - Written by Patton Oswalt? May be worth a look.

Green Lantern #3 - Glad to see it back after that nighmare side trip.

Madness #2 - 2nd issue of Straczynski's new book. Creator of Babylon 5, had a super good run on Spider-Man.

Penguin Classics Marvel Collection - Penguin is doing super high quality collections of early Marvel, ensconcing them in the Western Canon. Avengers, Fantastic Four and X-Men are all out this month, joining the previous releases of Black Panther, Captain America, and Spider-Man. Paperback and hardcover editions.

Saint John #1 - Cheating here since this is a book about a Portland superhero and I live in Portland. :) Bonus variant cover by Matt Wagner. The Portland in this book hasn't existed for at least 10 years.

Superman Lost #6 - Still one of the better Supes books.

World’s Finest Teen Titans #3 - Kind of weird having 3 Titans books running at once, but I'll take it!

Fall of X
Astonishing Iceman #2
Children Of The Vault #2
X-Force #44

Not OC. By Ghostie Boi Comics. Found it on Reddit ages ago, don't have a direct link, sorry.

It sort of reads like a surrealist antijoke through modern eyes.

The numbers make it the best-selling comic ever for growing independent publisher Vault and one of the top ordered indies of 2023, if not the decade.

Just because you CAN do all the work doesn’t mean you SHOULD do all the work

Let's see what's on deck this week... What are you planning on?

Barnstormers #3 - Good retro read so far!

Birds Of Prey #1 - Historically a good read, I'm hopeful.

Blue Beetle #1 - Trying to ride the movie synergy... Movie is worth a watch, comic? We'll see!

Cerebus In Hell Presents Aardvarkian Splendour #1 - My Dave Sim retirement fund marches on...

City Boy #4 - Nearing the end of the "We Are Legends" project, will be interesting to see if it has legs.

Doctor Strange #7 - Still the is Clea guilty murder mystery.

Fantastic Four #11 - New story arc starts here!

Justice Society Of America #6 - Feels like this should be farther along by now...

Moon Knight #27

Parker Girls #10 - Final issue! We'll see how this wraps up. TBH, these 10 issue arcs are kind of hit and miss. Motor Girl and Serial were good, but the long form Strangers in Paradise and Rachel Rising were better.

Peacemaker Tries Hard #5 - Looking forward to all of this.

Shazam #3 - Back on track after that nightmare crossover nonsense.

Fall of X:
Immortal X-Men #15
Magneto #2
X-Men #26

By me.

What's looking good this week? Looks kind of light unless you're into a bunch of variant covers.

I've got:

Ancient Enemies The First Responder #1 - My monthly "Frank Miller pity purchase".

Hunger And The Dusk #2 - First issue was interesting, we'll see if it holds up!

Marvel Age #1000 - All the #1000 issues have been interesting so far...

Moon Knight Annual #1 - More of the action figure fight annuals. :( Not a fan so far.

Spider-Man India #3

Superboy The Man Of Tomorrow #5 - Nearing the end of this mini, all the new Supes books have been good.

Ultimate Invasion #3

Fall of X:
Ms. Marvel The New Mutant #1 - Everyone called it, so here it is!

Holding views that are fatal to modern society while enjoying its benefits… So hot right now! Maybe they’ll keep the dead half-husk of democracy that has all their stuff!
