All-New X-Men, Avatar, Battle Royale, BOOM!, Brian Michael Bendis, Bryce Carlson, Caanan White, Carlos Magno, Codename Action, Comeback, Daredevil: Dark Nights, David Lapham, DC, Deathmatch, Di Amorim, Dynamite, Ed Brisson, God Is Dead, Hit, Howard Chaykin, Image, James Asmus, Jeff Lemire, Johnnie Christmas, Jonathan Hickman, Justin Jordan, Kieron Gillen, Lord of the Flies, Marvel, Matt Fraction, Paul Jenkins, Quantum and Woody, Satellite Sam, Shadowman, Sheltered, Stuart Immonen, Tom Fowler, Trillium, Uber, Valiant, Vanesa Del, Vertigo, X-Men: Battle of the Atom

An odd week: I’ll be picking up more books from BOOM! and Avatar–two each–than I will be from DC–a lonely one.  If you’re keeping score: I’m avoiding the onslaught of villain books–because nothing good can come of that!

  • Trillium #2 (DC/Vertigo): Like a sweet bouquet bought and bestowed just because, #1 surprised and satisfied.  Felt like a labor of love and read that way, too.  Looking forward to this.
Trillium #2

Trillium #2

  • Satellite Sam #3 (Image): Easily one of my favorite new titles.  The team of Fraction and Chaykin is shakin’ and bakin’ a sinful delight in stunning black and white.  That’s the truth!
  • Sheltered #3 (Image): All the uneasiness of Lord of the Flies, Battle Royale, and similar adolescent survivalist fiction.  Sadly, smacks of reality, too.  How scary is that?  Seems Brisson’s making up for the disappointing collapse of Comeback.
  • All-New X-Men #16 (Marvel): Getting into the Battle of the Atom.  Gosh, I hope that’s good news.  In the Battle of the Bendis X-Books, however, this title’s taken a backseat–especially after the last issue of Uncanny X-Men.
  • Daredevil: Dark Nights #4 (Marvel): I liked Lee Weeks’ arc a lot, but this is going to be a Comic Day decision.
  • X-Men: Battle of the Atom #1 (Marvel): I really, really hope this is good.  Maybe if enough of us hope together we can make it so.  Of late, however, Marvel crossovers, unfortunately, have been impervious to hope.
X-Men: Battle of the Atom #1

X-Men: Battle of the Atom #1

  • Codename Action #1 (Dynamite): Why not?
  • Uber #5 (Avatar): I never expected to be this far in, mainly because I didn’t expect much from Gillen; God, I hated his Uncanny X-Men.  But it’s undeniable: Uber‘s been very good.  If you haven’t been following along, keep an eye out for the upcoming trade.
Uber #5

Uber #5

  • Hit #1 (BOOM!): It just so happens I am a fan of Criminal.  So, if the pitch is to be believed, “Hit is the series for [me]!”  Hmm.  Seems like it may also be a Left Coast version of Red Team.
  • Quantum and Woody #3 (Valiant): If this one doesn’t do it for me, I’m off.  All the other Valiant books were must-buys after two issues; this one hasn’t followed suit.
  • Shadowman #10 (Valiant): One of those Valiant must-buys.
  • Deathmatch #9 (BOOM!): Jenkins is killing it–and plenty of heroes–on a monthly basis.  Another one of those books that you should be reading if you aren’t already.
  • God Is Dead #1 (Avatar): The name at the top–above God, even–is all the reason I need.
God Is Dead #1

God Is Dead #1

  • American Vampire Vol. 4 TPB (DC/Vertigo): Finally!!!!!!!!!!

What are you looking forward to tomorrow?

Turns out, Brian Wood’s The Massive is about this week’s haul.  Man, I could’ve sworn that I was trimming my typical take-home.  Silly me.  Sure, I’ll be closer to broke after Wednesday, but there are some top-notch books in this bunch, which makes it so worth it.

Right There Waiting for Me

  • Mind MGMT #9 (Dark Horse): Hoping for a little more after a slightly off month.  (By “off,” I mean “really, really good,” which, for the average book, would be, clearly, a compliment.  Matt Kindt, however, has been working at a much higher level on this title; so anything shy of mind-blowing is remarkably obvious.)
Mind MGMT #9

Mind MGMT #9

  • Action Comics #18 (DC): Finally, Morrison’s finale.  Could very well be my jumping off point, which will leave me Superman-free.  Big-time sigh–especially considering Big Blue was a big reason why I got back into buying comics.  We’ll see what Diggle digs up next month–and what Snyder and Pak bring to the rack in the months to come.
  • Batwoman #18 (DC): Another one I may jump off of.  J.H. Williams’ art has been the draw, and that chore has now been delegated to another–in this case, Trevor McCarthy, who’s a fine artist, sure; but will he do enough–as Williams did–to overcome the story’s shortcomings?
  • Wonder Woman #18 (DC): Still solid.  A book you can count on every month–whether it’s Chiang or Akins on art.
  • TMNT: The Secret of the Foot Clan #4 (IDW): Mateus Santolouco conjured up a little magic in this mini.  It’s a shame it’s only four!  Let’s hope he gives us some more down the road.
  • Comeback #5 (Image): Ran the same route as Dark Horse’s Colder.  Started off a house afire and cooled off quickly–to the point where I couldn’t wait for it to end.  The waiting’s over.
  • Revival #8 (Image): Still have some mixed feeling about this one.  #7 was definitely an step in the right direction.  But there’s too much evidence that inconsistency is the true plague at play here.
  • Daredevil #24 (Marvel): #23 was great on many levels.  The Power Pair of Waid and Samnee are killing it–and Foggy?  Say it ain’t so!
Daredevil #24

Daredevil #24

  • Indestructible Hulk #5 (Marvel): I hope we’re not all monster this time around.  Not after the House half of last issue.
  • Ultimate Spider-Man #21 (Marvel): Not going to use Venom as a epithet this time around.  Amazing, I know!  I’m keeping an open mind because of how Bendis ended #20.
  • Harbinger #10 (Valiant): Dysart’s kicking all sorts of ass.  A must read.
Harbinger #10

Harbinger #10

  • X-O Manowar #11 (Valiant): Planet Death!  That about says it all, doesn’t it?

Wide Pickens

  • Saga #11 (Image): Lying Cat?  Nooooooooooooooooooo!  So damn good.
Saga #11

Saga #11

  • Justice League of America #2 (DC): #1 wasn’t terrible.  Still anticipating that #2 will be.  Gotta buy it to find out.
  • G.I. Joe #2 (IDW): Van Lente hit the ground running.  I’m willing to follow–at least for a while.
  • All-New X-Men #9: Ugh.
  • Poison Elves #1(Ape Entertainment): Lucifer returns!  One of my faves–created by the late Drew Hayes–is brought back to life by Robb Horan and Osvaldo Pestana Montpeller.  Could be good, could suck.  Either way, worth a try.
Poison Elves #1

Poison Elves #1

Wasn’t kidding.

So.  What are you looking forward to on Wednesday?

BOOM!, Brian Michael Bendis, Chris Bachalo, Comeback, comics, Dark Horse, DC Comics, Deathmatch, Dennis Hopeless, Ed Brisson, Erik Burnham, Five Weapons, IDW, Image, Jeff Lemire, Jimmie Robinson, Justice League Dark, Mateus Santoluoco, Michael Walsh, Mike Norton, Mikel Janin, Paul Jenkins, Ray Fawkes, The Answer, TMNT: Secret History of the Foot Clan, Uncanny X-Men, Wednesday, What's I&N Store?

Not a shy week, no; but not nearly as obnoxious as the last, or the last, or the–

Reading Rainbow

  • Justice League Dark #17 (DC): A little less Lemire is like a little less tread on the tire.  Not so thrilled by this one anymore; don’t really care where it’s headed.
  • Comeback #4 (Image): Started off really well but has gotten a bit muddled here in the middle–a fault of many a mini of late.   Can’t quit now, though.  Damn the lure of the mini!
  • TMNT: Secret History of the Foot Clan #3 (IDW): Here’s one I never expected to like.  But I do!  Mateus Santolouco–along with help from Erik Burnham–has done a heck of a job putting this mini together and making it relevant to a reader like me–an admitted relative stranger to TMNT lore.
TMNT: Secret of the Foot Clan #3

TMNT: Secret of the Foot Clan #3

  • Deathmatch #3 (BOOM!): Certainly enough intrigue strewn in to warrant another round.
  • The Answer #2 (Dark Horse): Solid Derekommnedation.  No question: I’m grabbing this one from Mike Norton and Dennis Hopeless.
The Answer #2

The Answer #2

  • FF #4 (Marvel): Its quirkiness is keeping it around–for now.

Call Them Maybe

  • Five Weapons #1 (Image): Another Image miniseries?  Oh, why not?  Worth a flip through, for sure.
Five Weapons #1

Five Weapons #1

  • Uncanny X-Men #2 (Marvel): Only if I’m feeling particularly masochistic.

A modest mix, no?  Oughta give me a chance to catch my breath–maybe even knock out a Back and Forth in a timely fashion!  (A nerd can dream.)

What are you looking  forward to tomorrow?

Alberto Ponticelli, Archer & Armstrong, Batman, Bloodshot, Chris Samnee, Comeback, Daredevil, DC Comics, Duane Swierczynski, Ed Brisson, Emanuela Lupacchino, Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E., Fred Van Lente, Greg Capullo, Image, Indestructible Hulk, Leinil Francis Yu, Mark Waid, Marvel, Matt Kindt, Matthew Clark, Michael Walsh, Scott Snyder, Valiant

Not a big week; not a small week; but certainly a solid week; and I’ll take a solid week any day of the week–well, on Wednesday, mostly, unless, of course, I can’t shop hop; and then it is, quite literally, any day of the week–well, in this particular scenario, any day other than Wednesday.  I hope to snag:

All A-Bag!

  • Batman #16: Nowadays, I feel like I’m picking up Batman because, you know, I’m supposed to: because it’s Snyder, mostly.  Believe me: I don’t want to cave in; I don’t want to drop it.  I mean, it’d be a Batshame if I weren’t picking up a montly Batbook, right?  But this arc ain’t grabbing me the same way The Court of Owls did–until the broken wing of an ending, that is.
  • Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #16: The “final issue finale.”  Typing about effing shames: this is a terrible loss: a our #6 book of 2012 tossed to the garbage pile, crushed by the Third Wave!  I guess we’ll be seeing the grandiloquent greenie as a regular over on JLD.  Better than nothing.  As far as Kindt’s concerned: sucks to lose out on another opportunity to enjoy his work; but there’s always the brilliant Mind MGMT (our #3 book of 2012, by the way), which is back next week, thank goodness.
Goodbye Frankenstein!

Goodbye Frankenstein!

  • Comeback #3: So far, so good.  Good thing, maybe, it’s not going too far.
  • Daredevil #22: The Superior Spider-Man makes a visit to Hell’s Kitchen.  As long as Peter keeps to himself, I’m willing to get into the swing.
  • Indestructible Hulk #3: I like what Waid’s doing here.  Heck, I like what Waid’s doing everywhere!
  • Archer & Armstrong #6: Big week for fellas named Armstrong, eh?
  • Bloodshot #7: This book’s been really good of late.  Kudos to Swierczynski, who’s killing it.

No plans to hit the rack this week.

Oh, yeah: Derek threatened to ban me from the blog if I pick up Captain America #3.  So, keep an eye out: if you don’t see me for a while, it’s because I had enough money left over but not enough willpower to let that red, white, and blue nonsense lie.

What are you looking forward to tomorrow?

Haden Blackman, Wonder Woman, X-O Manowar

Saw it coming, and I still couldn’t get out of the way.

Something to Bag About

  • Batwoman #15 (The first page is pretty.  So’s the last page.  In between, Trevor McCarthy.  Sigh.)
  • Wonder Woman #15 (Cliff Chiang’s back!  Yay!  And look!  He’s brought Orion with him!  Sigh.)
  • Daredevil #21 (Chris Samnee makes me happy.)
  • Ultimate Spider-Man #18 (Quick flip: Mask-free Miles.  Promising.)
  • Comeback #2 (After a crisp first ish, I’m back for #2.)
  • X-O Manowar #8
  • Harbinger #7 (Building momentum with Barry Kitson!)

I’ve Add It!

  • Indestructible Hulk #2 (Love Yu!)
  • FF #2 (Allred had me at Medusa’s ringing a bell with her hair.)
  • Nowhere Men #2 (Definitely want to see where it goes, man.)

No Comic Left Behind

  • Avengers #2 (And…it’s the first one I’ve read.  Go figure.)
  • Avengers Arena #2 (Like the classic Lord of the Flies cover.  Love the honesty.)
  • Thunderbolts #2 (She slashes a throat.  Close enough.)

Derekommendation of the Week

  • The Black Beetle #0 (Love, love, love the retro vibe.  I guess I really like Francesco Francavilla.  Why wouldn’t I?  I mean, if Samnee makes me happy…)
The Black Beetle #0 Cover

The Black Beetle #0 Cover

If I know what’s good for me, I better start

Image has been killing it of late.  As a result, my What’s Up? list has been growing like something that grows a whole lot really, really fast–and its caretaker, the list maker, is not ready to accommodate its unexpectedly freakish size either time- or dollar-wise.  Don’t tell Derek, but it doesn’t help that this week Marvel’s dropping a NOW! bomb of sophomore issues for a slew of titles–many of which I’ve been scoring on the sly.

Definites

  • Batwoman #15: More beautiful than any book deserves to be.
  • Wonder Woman #15: Not as much of a sure thing as it had been, but still a pull-list must.
  • X-O Manowar #8: Things are finally picking up with Ninjak.  Look out MI-6!
  • Harbinger #7: #6 was so very good.
  • Comeback #2: I really liked the first issue.
  • Nowhere Men #2: Ditto.  Big friggin’ ditto.
Nowhere Men #2 Cover

Nowhere Men #2 Cover

  • Daredevil #21: The Coyote climax!
  • Ultimate Spider-Man #18: Bendis has been off his game for several issues now.  Mus be the crossover blues.
  • FF #2: FF is just Allred with me!
  • Indestructible Hulk #2: Hoping the first half of #1 is the whole of #2.

Now, No, But Later…?

  • Avengers #2: Will thumb through it first.  Odds, however, are good.
  • Avengers Arena #2: Guilty pleasure of the week.  No, really.
  • Thunderbolts #2: Once again: it’ll have to pass the Elektra test.
  • Captain America #2: It’s tough for me to just say no.  I mean, it’s Cap.

Yeesh!  That’s one big week!  If the pages turn right, could be the best big week in a while.

What are you looking forward to tomorrow?

Microviews: Catching Up Is Hard to Do

03 Monday Dec 2012

Posted by ScottNerd in Microviews

Tags

Brian Azzarello, Chris Samnee, Comeback, comics, David Schulner, DC Comics, Duane Swierczynski, Ed Brisson, Felix Serrano, Harbinger, IDW, Jason Aaron, Jordie Bellaire, Joshua Dysart, Juan Jose Ryp, Lee Garbett, Mark Waid, Marvel, Matthew Southworth, Michael Walsh, Nelson Daniel, Nick Bradshaw, Pepe Larraz, Phil Briones, reviews, Robert Venditti, Sean Phillips, The Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom, Tony Akins, Wolverine and the X-Men, X-O Manowar

Only if you were wondering:

  • Comeback #1 (Image): I like Michael Walsh’s art a lot.  Not entirely unlike Sean Phillips or Matthew Southworth.  Bellaire’s colors, too, add quite a bit to the flow of the story–a story that shirks narration for the better.  The premise is interesting enough and is developed well with crisp dialogue amongst characters who are relatively familiar.  Nice twist at the end.  All together, worth another issue.
  • Judge Dredd #1 (IDW): Didn’t do it for me.  I haven’t read any Dredd in the past; figured I’d give it a shot.  A bit too silly for me.  Just not what I expected, I suppose.  It’s a one-and-done, for me.
  • Clone #1 (Image): I wanted it to grab me, but it didn’t.  The premise seems like one I’d like to see play out–especially after reading Schulner’s post-story explanation.  I was put off by the wishy-washy dialogue and Ryp’s art.  His characters’ faces bothered me a bit too much; I couldn’t stand looking at them after a while!  (Probably says more about me than anything else.)  I’m not planning on picking up #2–unless it comes out during a light week.
  • Wonder Woman #14 (DC): Enjoyable enough.  Siracca’s backstory and her coming together with Diana are serviceable steps.  (They’re framed by two two-page teasers, the first about an old god and the last about The New Gods.  I’m liking the former and kind of concerned about the latter.  We’ll see.)  A bit of a drag that Cliff Chiang’s on cover duties but not inside anywhere.  Tony Akins isn’t terrible, but he can be inconsistent at times.  Remains a fixture on my pull list, which has been shedding hero books of late.
  • Wolverine and the X-Men #21 (Marvel): Yup, I’ve officially removed it from the aforementioned pull list.  (If you haven’t see me go off about the previous issue, click here.)  Sure, Aaron sneaks in a very funny “Avengers vs. X-Men 2” comment–to provide a possible explanation as to where all the suddenly missing adults have run off to; but it’s buried beneath an ever-growing pile of Who gives a $#!%?  As a result, it’s see ya later.  To think I used to look forward to this.  Yikes.
  • Ultimate Spider-Man #17 (Marvel): I’ve spoken of the danger of the crossover in previous posts.  This title has taken it on the chin for several weeks now.  We’re up to three below-standard issues in a row–unacceptable for a title that was killing it with otherworldly character development by Bendis, who clearly has no use for this United We Stand nonsense.  If things don’t turn back to Miles soon, I’m off.
  • X-O Manowar #7 (Valiant): This title was getting a bit rough with the unnecessary insinuation of Ninjak.  (Is Ninjak ever necessary?)  I’m happy to report that this issue picked it up a bit with the growing Vine story and the disarmingly delightful Vine commando unit target practice.  Finally executed well, this team-up lives to fill my bag for another month.
  • Harbinger #6 (Valiant): My favorite issue of Harbinger so far.  Kris is a character I’d like to hear more from.  With my luck, this is a transitional issue that puts her in play but ultimately leaves her voice behind.  I hope not.  I also like Faith’s psiot persona, Zephyr.  She’s like something out of Mieville’s terrific Dial H.  Solid stuff from Dysart, Briones, and Hannin.
  • The Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom #4 (IDW): Out with a whimper.  Oh well.

So, now you know.

Feel free to let us know what YOU think.

Haden Blackman, Wolverine and the X-Men, Wonder Woman, X-O Manowar

Another monster bag–and I didn’t score all the books I wanted for the week!  This, dear reader, is not a wallet-friendly trend.

Bag, You’re It!

  • Wonder Woman #14 (Gone with the wind?  I hope not.)
  • Daredevil #20 (Poor Matthew!)
  • Ultimate Spider-Man #17 (The last two haven’t been too good.  I hope Bendis hits a high note somewhere in here.  Gotta get back to Miles!)
  • Wolverine and the X-Men #21 (My last pulled issue.  And, you know, I don’t care if it’s good.  I’m done with the “ebb and flow of [mutant] misery.”)
  • X-O Manowar #7 (Could do without Ninjak.)
  • Harbinger #6 (“Oh, mama, I’m in fear for my life from the long arm of the law.”)
  • Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom #4 (Gonna miss ya, Cliff!)

Shelf Sitters

  • Captain America #1 (I’m prepared for disappointment.)
  • Indestructible Hulk #1 (Waid and Yu make this a no-brainer–for at least one issue, anyway.)
  • Judge Dredd #1 (Duane Swierczynski is on fire!  He’s pretty much the reason why I’m giving this a shot.)

Judge Dredd #1 Cover

  • Clone #1 (Already read it.  Could’ve done without.)

Forgot to Grab

  • Batwoman #14 (I know, right?  What an ass.)

Ungrabbable

  • Number 13 #0 (My guy didn’t have it.)
  • Revival #5 (Ditto.)
  • Comeback #1 (Arrrgh!  Ditto again!  Looks like a job for Fourth World.)

Sorry for being so short; I’ve got some reading to do.

What did you get in your bag today?

I am officially out of control.  I blame possession by an increasingly independent spirit–and the well-meaning intermediaries who conjured the damn thing in the first place.  Truth be told, however, I’m not in the least interested in an exorcism.

Hey Ladies!

  • Batwoman #14: Just want to lose myself in it.  In a weird way, I wish I could read it with the lights out.

Batwoman #14 Cover

  • Wonder Woman #14: “Who’s reachin’ out to capture Wonder Woman?  Everyone knows it’s Windy.”

Now!

  • Captain America #1: In Cap I trust.
  • Indestructible Hulk #1: In Waid I trust.  I trust Yu, too.

Not Now!

  • Daredevil #20: Head games are always fun–especially when they’re played by Waid and Samnee!
  • Ultimate Spider-Man #17: Running on empty with this one.
  • Wolverine and the X-Men #21: #20 was a disaster–a straight-up embarrassment, really.  This’ll be the make or break issue.  If it’s break, I’ll be X-free.  That’s right:  Thanks to AvX and NOW! I’ll be X-free.  Ridiculous.

Frankie Valiant and the Two Reasons

  • Harbinger #6: “I guess I still like it,” he said with a psi.
  • X-O Manowar #7: Needs to pick it up soon, or I won’t.

Torchwoodn’t You Know

  • Revival #5: I bought the first four last week.  Pretty solid storytelling.  Can you say AMC?

Revival #5 Cover

Sad to See You Go

  • Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom #4: It’s been a blast.
