Becky Cloonan, Clone, Dark Horse, David Schulner, Dead Boy Detectives, Death Sentence, Gary Erskine, Gerard Way, Image, Jonathan Hickman, Jordie Bellaire, Joseph Michael Linsner, Juan Jose Ryp, Mark Buckingham, Michael Dowling, Montynero, Nick Pitarra, Rachel Rising, Rocket Girl, Sin Boldly, Terry Moore, The Manhattan Projects, The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, Toby Litt, Vertigo

Gonna ring in the New Year with this rowdy bunch:

  • The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys #6 (Dark Horse): Polishes off the weirdly sedate series from Gerard Way and Becky Cloonan.
  • Dead Boy Detectives #1 (DC/Vertigo): “From the pages of The Sandman” is enough for me.
  • Clone #13 (Image): Plenty of creators–even some on critically acclaimed books–should do themselves a favor and clone the pacing and page turns of this exciting series.
Clone #13

Clone #13

  • The Manhattan Projects #17 (Image): Still Hickman’s best.
  • Rocket Girl #3 (Image): #2 was pretty good, but I’m not too sure I need stick with it.  I’ll give it another go before I say no, though.
  • Sin Boldly (Image): Joe Linsner disappointed with his most recent effort and didn’t help matters with his issue-ending, ill-advised rant.  Surprised it didn’t dawn on him: the only characters who should be assassinated in a comic book are comic book characters.
  • Death Sentence #4 (Titan): Irresistibly irreverent, indecent, incorrigible–it’s rock ‘n roll, baby; you know: live fast, die young, and leave a good looking corpse, and all that.  Oh, and it’s also very, very good.
Death Sentence #4

Death Sentence #4

  • Rachel Rising #22 (Abstract Studio): Easily one of our favorite titles of 2013.  Can’t wait to see how Jet/James takes to her/his latest predicament–and how Terry Moore delivers it.

What are you looking forward to tomorrow?

Andres Mossa, Andrew Currie, Archie, Austin Harrison, Becky Cloonan, Brian K. Vaughan, Brian Michael Bendis, Dark Horse, DC, Dean Haspiel, Esad Ribic, Fiona Staples, Gerard Way, Giuseppe Camuncoli, Guru eFX, IDW, Image Comics, Ive Svorcina, J.H. Williams III, Jason Aaron, Kevin Eastman, Mark Waid, Marvel, Mateus Santolouco, Mike Raicht, Neil Gaiman, Nelson Daniel, Red Circle, Saga, Sandman: Overture, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Fox, The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, Tom Palmer, Vertigo, Wild Blue Yonder, X-Men: Battle of the Atom, Zach Howard

Couldn’t let this little lot slip though my finicky fingers.

  • The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys #5 (The cozy weirdness has gotten uncomfortably familiar.  And, wait: is that Maxine and Socks at the end?)
  • Sandman: Overture #1 (Elegant, mysterious, and impossibly beautiful.  Neil Gaiman’s got us reading out of the palm of his handsome mythology once again; and the peerless J.H. Williams makes his end of the Endless look so easy–so easy, in fact, that the experience demands one’s going back to admire his complex layouts and otherworldly attention to detail.)
Sandman: Overture #1

Sandman: Overture #1

  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #27 (Another good bit of Turtle fun!  Probably won’t be enough to keep me around past “City Fall,” but certainly worth the run.)
  • Wild Blue Yonder #3 (Another high-energy installment of the year’s biggest blockbuster, this one sporting a spectacular–and perfectly peaceful–double-page spread smack dab in the middle.  I suspect we’ll have more to say about this one.)
Wild Blue Yonder #3

Wild Blue Yonder #3

  • Saga #15 (Once again, Vaughan and Staples skewer expectations!  And how about that final sequence?  A willful assault, indeed!)
  • X-Men: Battle of the Atom #2 (In the end, one epilogue shy of epic brilliance.  “[R]idiculous schism,” indeed!  The most significant aftermath of this event: figuring out which of the X-books I’ll end up subtracting from my monthly haul as a result of this pointless glossover.)
  • The Fox #1 (A bit of a disappointment, considering the names attached to it.  Had to give it a shot, right?  I’m sure you did, too.  Well, after this unwieldy, unfunny offering, I’m out.  You?)

Your eyes are not deceiving you.

  • The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys #5 (Dark Horse): I’ve enjoyed the series so far.  I’m not exactly sure why.  Hey!  Maybe that’s why!
  • Sandman: Overture #1 (DC/Vertigo): Neil Gaiman on words and J.H. Williams on images: a dream match-up.  If you’re not excited about this, there’s something wrong with you.  Or maybe you’re too young to have a clue.
Sandman: Overture #1

Sandman: Overture #1

  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #27 (IDW): Took me ’til my forties to take to the Turtles.  A big reason: Mateus Santolouco’s martial art.  Not sure, however, if I’ll keep on after “City Fall,” however.
  • Wild Blue Yonder #3 (IDW): We loved #1 and #2!  Seems a pretty safe bet we’ll love this one, too.  Zach Howard’s art alone is worth the price of admission.
Wild Blue Yonder #3

Wild Blue Yonder #3

  • Saga #15 (Image): So many smart touches in #14.  So many, in fact, that we celebrated it as our #2 book of September.  One thing we know about this issue: it’s kicking off with a full tank of gas.
  • X-Men: Battle of the Atom #2 (Marvel): Somewhere, my future self is shaking my future head.  Sorry–in advance.
  • The Fox #1 (Archie/Red Circle): If you’re keeping track, then you know that this’ll be my second–that’s right: second–Archie Comics purchase in the past month.  With names like Mark Waid and Dean Haspiel attached to this one, I’d be a fool to pass it up.
The Fox #1

The Fox #1

 

Yup, that’s it!  And, you know what?  Thank God.

What are you looking forward to tomorrow?

Aaron Ginsburg, Abstract Studio, Archer & Armstrong, Astro City, Becky Cloonan, Brain Boy, Brent Eric Anderson, Brian Wood, Captain America, Carlos Pacheco, Clone, Dark Horse, David Lopez, David Schulner, DC Comics, Eternal Warrior, FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics, Fred Van Lente, Gerard Way, Ghosted, Goran Sudzuka, Greg Pak, Image, Indestructible Hulk, J. Michael Straczynski, Jonathan Hickman, Jordie Bellaire, Joshua Williamson, Juan Jose Ryp, Kurt Busiek, Mark Waid, Matteo Scalera, Miroslav Mrva, Nick Pitarra, Pere Perez, R.B. Silva, Rachel Rising, Rick Remender, Robbi Rodriguez, Shaun Simon, Sidekick, Simon Oliver, Terry Moore, The Manhattan Projects, Tom Mandrake, Trevor Hairsine, Valiant, Vertigo, Wade McIntyre, X-Men

So far behind, but certainly not out of mind…

  • Sidekick #2 (An improvement over #1 built primarily on Flyboy’s backstory. Still burdened by a few “too far” moments, but certainly good enough to warrant another issue.)
Sidekicks #2

Sidekicks #2

  • Eternal Warrior #1 (Pak and Hairsine’s opening salvo is savagely smart and beautifully brutal. A welcome addition to an already outstanding Valiant lineup.)
Eternal Warrior #1

Eternal Warrior #1

  • FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics #3 (“The collapse has begun,” indeed. I’m out.)
  • Clone #10 (Goshdarn it! I really thought we were going to escape the issue with a happy ending!)
  • Indestructible Hulk #13 (If I could go back in time, I’d pass not only on this issue but on the entire series. I can’t, so I’ll just jump off now. Unfortunately, the House I was promised never quite opened its doors to the exciting interpersonal possibilities.)
  • Rachel Rising #19 (The best issue yet? You bet! And that’s saying a lot.)
Rachel Rising #19

Rachel Rising #19

  • Captain America #11 (I figured I’d try it now that Cap’s back in the real world and all. Didn’t really care for it. Too many “See what I just did?” moments from Remender. But I’ll cut it a break for what it is: a transition. What it’ll transition to…? Well, that’s the question, isn’t it? If the next one doesn’t answer the question, though, I’m out until a new writer comes on.)
  • Brain Boy #1 (Wildly uneven effort from the architect of Archer & Armstrong. The art from R.B. Silva, Rob Lean, and Ego is terrific, however. All together, I’ll probably see this three-issue arc through ’til the end.)
  • Astro City #4 (Another terrific story from Kurt Busiek.)
  • The Manhattan Projects #14 (Hickman and Pitarra don’t disappoint. They don’t know how to disappoint. Love the final splash, which sells a crazy-eyed, wrench-wielding Oppenheimer much in the same way #12 sold a chainsaw-of-relativity-sporting Einstein.)
The Manhattan Projects #14

The Manhattan Projects #14

  • The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys #4 (Just as crazy as we’ve come to expect! Hey, it’s the Gerard Way.)
  • X-Men #4 (Certainly met expectations–my low, low expectations. Thanks Battle of the Atom!)
  • Ghosted #3 (Still keeping my interest. Reads not unlike Revival, really. Further, seems to do some things that Dream Thief should’ve done. Sticking around.)
Ghosted #3

Ghosted #3

  • Archer & Armstrong #13 (This is why I’ll buy anything Fred Van Lente. Just keeps getting better and better. Something tells me we’ll be writing more about this when we wrap up the month.)

Archer & Armstrong, Astro City, Battle of the Atom, Becky Cloonan, Brian Wood, Captain America, Carlos Pacheco, Clone, Dark Horse, David Lopez, David Schulner, DC Comics, Eternal Warrior, FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics, Fred Van Lente, Gerard Way, Ghosted, Goran Sudzuka, Greg Pak, Image, Indestructible Hulk, J.

Vacation’s history.  Good thing I’ve got an escape plan:

  • Brain Boy #1 (Dark Horse): Anything with Fred Van Lente at the helm is a no-brainer.
Brain Boy #1

Brain Boy #1

  • The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys #4 (Dark Horse): So far, the series hasn’t read like a particularly engaging book; yet, strangely enough, it is–and quite.
  • Astro City #4 (DC/Vertigo): Busiek is in complete control of his universe, and we’re all the better for it.
Astro City #4

Astro City #4

  • FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics #3 (DC/Vertigo): I didn’t care for most of #2, and then came the end–an end that very well may have staved off the end of this brief affair.
  • Clone #10 (Image): #8 waned.  #9 waxed.  Wonder if I’ll be whining about waning again this time around.  Or maybe I’ll be woohoo-ing about waxing.  Either way, I’ve got to know: what’s the splatter with these guys?
Clone #10

Clone #10

  • Ghosted #3 (Image): May be the last go-round for Ghosted and this guy.
  • The Manhattan Projects #14 (Image): Always a potential Book of the Month.
  • Sidekicks #2 (Image): The real villain of #1 was a tragically transparent twist.   I’m going to pick this one up, though; after all, it took JMS more than two issues to sell me on Ten Grand.
  • Captain America #11 (Marvel): Could this be the Captain America I’ve been waiting for?  After the complete diZola that was Remender’s NOW! reboot, I sure hope so.  Hey, maybe he’s seen the light.  Color me red, white, and cautiously optimistic.
Captain America #11

Captain America #11

  • Indestructible Hulk #13 (Marvel): This trip through time hasn’t been as terrible as I thought it’d be.  Waid captured the Kids of the Wild West pretty well; now it’s on to Camelot.
  • X-Men #5 (Marvel): So far, Battle of the Atom been an underwhelming exercise in making this time-travel mess count for something.  Suppose this one’s going to fall in line.
  • Archer & Armstrong #13 (Valiant): Wow!  A year in already?  Hard to believe.  But what a year it’s been, no?  Without question, A&A‘s a Top Ten monthly.  Why should this month be any different?  Aliens?  Dinosaurs?  Bring ’em on!
Archer & Armstrong #13

Archer & Armstrong #13

  • Eternal Warrior #13 (Valiant): Worth a try.  The Eternal Warrior’s gotten a lot of good exposure across the Valiant Universe, and he looks like a compelling enough character.  Plus, Greg Pak’s doing some heady work over on Batman/Superman.  Wonder what he’s going to do here; I mean, this doesn’t seem like a forum for heady fare–or does it?
  • Rachel Rising #19 (Abstract Studio): Re: #18: Now that’s how you craft a cliffhanger.  This’ll be my first read.
Rachel Rising #19

Rachel Rising #19

What are you looking forward to tomorrow?

I&N Scott’s Bag (8/14)

Ales Kot, Archer & Armstrong, Barry Kitson, Batman, Becky Cloonan, BOOM!, Breath of Bones: A Tale of the Golem, Brian K. Vaughan, Brian Michael Bendis, Carlos Magno, Dark Horse, Dave Wachter, DC Comics, Deathmatch, Fiona Staples, Fonografiks, Frazer Irving, Fred Van Lente, Gerard Way, Ghosted, Goran Sudzuka, Greg Capullo, Harbinger, IDW, Image, Janet Lee, Jeff Stokely, Jim McCann, Joshua Dysart, Joshua Williamson, Lost Vegas, Marvel, Mind the Gap, Miroslav Mrva, Paul Jenkins, Pere Perez, RIck Leonardi, Saga, Sami Basri, Scott Snyder, Simon Spurrier, Six-Gun Gorilla, Steve Niles, Suicide Squad, The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, Uncanny X-Men, Valiant

Buying comics shouldn’t be so darned complicated!  Or maybe it should be.  Maybe therein lies the worth.

  • Saga #13 (Read it!  This thirteenth impression’s a pretty damn good one, proving that, yes, even after a few months off, this baby–despite its modesty, this “sacred text”–has still got legs.)
  • Suicide Squad #23 (Read it!  Really, really not good.  Ales Kot–scribe of the magnificent mindf___ Change–clearly wasn’t suited for the book.  But that’s OK: he’s got a couple of promising books in the Image pipeline; and Matt Kindt, who’s got even more irons in the fire, is the new god of the Squad.  Can’t wait to see how that pans out.)
  • East of West #5 (Read it!  Hickman’s hitting the “Wow!” button and making it look easy!  Some writers out there should be taking notes.)
East of West #5

East of West #5

  • Breath of Bones: A Tale of the Golem #3 (Read it!  It was OK; I mean, it certainly is what I was hoping for from the get-go: the golem finally kicks some serious Nazi hintern.  But, in the end, I was left a bit flat–kind of like my own hintern–perhaps because the grandfather, who was the source of most of the emotional punch, is replaced by the brutish golem, whose punch is of a more physical sort.  Wait a sec.  Hmm.  Suddenly I ain’t feelin’ so flat anymore.  Clever, Mr. Niles.  Very clever.)
  • Batman #23 (Read it!  Starts off well enough–very well, in concept, anyway.  Execution-wise, it’s a bit clunky.  This is supposed to be the moment in Bruce’s life; instead, it feels like a moment–one that’s not nearly the same caliber as Red Hood’s gun.  As the story crawls its way toward Bruce’s Batpiphany, Snyder struggles with drawing out the psychological side of the journey.  In fact, he would’ve been better off letting Capullo carry it through to the end without the weight of his burdensome words.  That would’ve been something.)
Batman #23

Batman #23

  • Uncanny X-Men #10 (Read it!  Gonna be honest: I liked it.  Oh, how I’ve longed to say it!  I want to say it again: I liked it!  I especially enjoyed Frazer Irving’s work this time around; it’s the first time he’s left me feeling like he owns the characters.)
Uncanny X-Men #10

Uncanny X-Men #10

  • Deathmatch #8 (Read it!  Two monster matches!  Each fight hits the right notes, reaching the height of harmony between the physical and the psychological.  Plenty brutal, sure; but emotionally engaging, as well.)
Deathmatch #8

Deathmatch #8

  • Lost Vegas #4 (Read it!  A satisfying conclusion.)
  • Ghosted #2 (Read it!  Not bad.  Feels a lot like Revival.  I’ll try another.)
  • Mind the Gap #12 (Read it!  A really good read.  Like the issues come before, this one peels back another layer and brings, however briefly, a feeling of satisfaction–of “almost there.”  Thing is, it’s all a tease: we’re dealing with a “one step forward, two steps back” narrative; and wouldn’t you know, as frustrating as it is, the experience is all the better for the strategy.  Kudos to Mr. McCann–for effing with our minds and making it feel oh so good!)
  • Harbinger #15 (Read it!  Sneaky, sneaky.  Dysart sets a trap early on with the title–“Perfect Day”–and a general feeling of frivolousness, and then he springs it with a crazy ending.  My only wish: that the final page followed a page turn.  That would’ve delivered a bigger punch.  And as it turns, Kitson’s art isn’t much of a drag here as it was on Bloodshot.  See, folks: I can be fair, after all.)
Harbinger #15

Harbinger #15

  • Archer & Armstrong #12 (Read it!  As solid as always.  Fred Van Lente’s got it down to a science, and Pere Perez’s art is the perfect complement.)
  • The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys #3 (Read it!  An odd experience.  Feels scattered and tidy all at the same time.  Not sure how much value there is in this story or in the storytelling, but I’m going to ride it out, nevertheless; it’s only a six issue series, for goodness sake.)
  • Six-Gun Gorilla #3 (Read it!  So good.  Spurrier adds another dimension as he builds upon Blue’s background as a librarian: in doing so, he joins Saga‘s Vaughan by plowing into the power of fiction.  Monkey bar raised yet again!)

Scott

Vaughan, Brian Michael Bendis, Carlos Magno, Chris Bachalo, Dark Horse, Dave Wachter, DC, Deathmatch, East of West, Fiona Staples, Gerard Way, Ghosted, Greg Capullo, Harbinger, Image, Janet Lee, Jeff Stokely, Jim McCann, Jonathan Hickman, Joshua Dysart, Kurt Busiek, Lost Vegas, Marvel, Matt Kindt, Mind the Gap, Patrick Zircher, Paul Jenkins, Saga, Sami Basri, Scott Snyder, Simon Spurrier, Six-Gun Gorilla, Steve Niles, Suicide Squad, The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, Uncanny X-Men, Valiant, Vertigo, Zero Year

Back to reality: no NYC this week.  One primo pro, though: no train tickets equals more cash for comics.

  • Breath of Bones #3 (Dark Horse): The end?  Already?  Sigh.  A tender first two issues–each burning ever so slowly–have led to this: Golem Time!
Breath of Bones #3

Breath of Bones #3

  • The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys #3 (Dark Horse): Liked the last one more than I expected to.
  • Astro City #3 (DC): Here’s a city I will be returning to for a third time.  I love the fact that Busiek’s delivered two different yet equally as engaging narratives to kick off the relaunch.  As a new reader, I’m left to wonder what I’ve missed.  (Regret.)  More important, however, I’m wondering what’s next.  (Excitement!)
Astro City #3

Astro City #3

  • Batman #23 (DC): If you read my recent Scottlight On: Batman #22, you know how I’m feeling going into this one.  If you didn’t, you can read it here.
  • Suicide Squad #23 (DC): I had high hopes for Ales Kot–even after learning of his unexpected exit.  The last issue, though?  Wow.  It was a disaster.  May have also answered a pressing question.  Well, it is what it is–and what it will be soon: Matt Kindt’s book.
  • East of West #5 (Image): I’ll tell you how the East of West was won: with a couple of westerly wows in #4, that’s how.
  • Ghosted #2 (Image): Thought that #1 was fun enough to warrant a second look.  I actually liked the way the team was put together more than I liked the same in The Wake #1.
  • Lost Vegas #4 (Image): Another finale!  Sad, too, as I was just getting into it.
Lost Vegas #4

Lost Vegas #4

  • Mind the Gap #12 (Image): At least we get the marvelous Jim McCann on a monthly basis on this terrific title.
  • Saga #13 (Image): Yeah, I’m gonna read this one first.
Saga #13

Saga #13

  • Uncanny X-Men #10 (Marvel): I guess I’m all-in through the Battle of the Atom.  If the Bendis side of the X-Verse doesn’t explode its way through at that point, then I’m out of this one and All-New.  That’s right, Derek: O.U.T.
  • Archer & Armstrong #12 (Valiant): Maybe I don’t really hate dinosaurs as much as I thought I did.
Archer & Armstrong #12

Archer & Armstrong #12

  • Deathmatch #8 (BOOM!): Things are heating up!  No one is safe–and that includes us!
  • Harbinger #15 (Valiant): Out from under the Harbinger Wars only to be shackled by the underwhelming Barry Kitson, who didn’t do Bloodshot any favors.
  • Red Sonja #2 (Dynamite): Why not?
  • Six-Gun Gorilla #3 (BOOM!): Mega!  Monkey!  Wednesday!  A surprise no longer: Spurrier and Stokely are putting together something special here.  Check out our takes on bullets #1 and #2.  Heck, I’m already writing up my Book of the Month entry for #3–and I haven’t even read it yet!
Six-Gun Gorilla #3

Six-Gun Gorilla #3

Sure, Midtown Comics is as good as it gets; but there’s something charming about the haphazardly plunked down piles of new books at my local comic shop.  Hope they didn’t miss me–and my money–too much.

What books are you looking forward to tomorrow?
