Looks like a lovely lot.

  • The Massive #14 (Dark Horse): Easily one of my favorite monthly titles.  Brian Wood navigates through contested waters with a style that’s unflinchingly understated and extremely addictive.
  • Mind MGMT #13 (Dark Horse): Taking a page of of Brubaker’s Fatale: Kindt’s serving up a series of one-shots–starting here.

  • Batman/Superman #2 (DC): I enjoyed the first one–until it got all Morrison-y at the end.  We’ll see.
  • Thumbprint #2 (IDW): #1 was one of our Top 5 Books of June.  If you read it, you know why.  If you didn’t, you don’t know what you’re missing.

  • Wild Blue Yonder#2 (IDW): A summer blockbuster! I wrote about #1 here.
  • Clone #9 (Image): Wearing out its welcome?
  • Lazarus #2 (Image): Another one of our Top 5 Books of June.  Greg Rucka is ridiculously good.

  • Hawkeye Annual #1 (Marvel): Sounds fun enough.
  • Red Team #4 (Dynamite): Ennis really ramped things up with a Mametian #3.  I hope this issue follows the same script.

  • Harbinger #14 (Valiant): Dysart’s got a pretty solid run goin’ for him.
  • The Sixth Gun: Sons of the Gun #5 (Oni Press): I think it’s fair to say that, with the final issue of the mini, we’re getting a Bunn wrap.
  • Uncanny #2 (Dynamite): I dug Diggle’s opening salvo.  I’m down with this one.

What are you looking forward to tomorrow?

The evidence is overwhelming.  The Bloated Two are losing my interest–and, as result, my business.  But, as you can see by my list, I’m going to end up with a bloated bag anyway.

  • Batwoman #19 (DC): Pretty much ready to ditch it.  The selling point–Mr. Williams III’s images–has become a period, ending my run, too.

  • Wonder Woman #19 (DC): #18 was pretty terrible on the art front and on the writing front.  Not a good sign; but could be a hiccup.  We’ll see.
  • Five Ghosts #2 (Image): The first one wasn’t as engaging as I had hoped it’d be.  Willing to give it another shot, however.
  • Mara #4 (Image): I’ve made it this far.
  • Revival #9 (Image): #8 was a return to form.  Plenty of plot threads to tug at.

  • Todd, the Ugliest Kid on Earth #4 (Image): Thank goodness!
  • Daredevil #25 (Marvel): Still Marvel’s best

  • Bloodshot #10 (Valiant): Has been pretty darned good of late.  Now: Harbinger Wars.
  • X-O Manowar #12 (Valiant): Has come back to life with Planet Death!
  • The Shadow: Year One #2 (Dynamite): Wasn’t bad.  Liked #1 more than I liked Ennis’s turn with the same character.  Also liked it more than Waid’s Green Hornet. Wonder if I’m the only one.
  • The Sixth Gun #30 (Oni): I’ve read Vols. 1-4.  Waiting for Vol. 5, sure; but I’m going to start my monthly obsession now.  Odds are good, however, I’ll let it sit around until I’m caught up.

  • The Sixth Gun: Sons of the Gun #3 (Oni): A must for any serious fan of The Sixth Gun.  I may be late to the party, but Bunn and Hurtt have hooked me hard!

That oughta keep me from my responsibilities for a while.

Another sizable stack–with one remarkable difference.  Let’s see if you can pick up on it.

To All the Books I’ve Bought Before

  • The Answer #3 (Dark Horse): Unquestionably a good time.
  • Clone #5 (Image): The end of the first arc may be the perfect time to bid this underperformer adieu.
  • Fatale #13 (Image): Consistently terrific.  Impossibly defies expectations with each new offering.

  • FF# 5 (Marvel): Fraction and Allred are paired so well on this otherwise inconsequential title.  Off beat?  Right on!
  • Fury: My War Gone By #10 (Marvel): “The final arc begins.”  Don’t think I can express to you how those words make me feel.  OK, I’ll give it a shot: Ain’t good.  How’s that?
Fury: My War Gone By #10

  • Deathmatch #4 (BOOM!): Frivolous?  Sure.  Worth reading?  You bet!
  • Battlefields #5: The Fall and Rise of Anna Kharkova Part 2 (Dynamite): Ennis at his very best.
  • Red Team #2 (Dynamite): Wow!  Three Ennis books in one week?  Happy Easter, indeed!
Red Team #2

Red Team #2

  • Rachel Rising #15 (Abstract Studio): I’m all caught up and wanting Moore!  No self-respecting comic nerd should be without this title on his or her list.
  • The Sixth Gun: Sons of the Gun #2 (Oni): I’m through the first two trades of The Sixth Gun, waiting on the next two.  (Go Amazon!)

You Always Remember Your First

  • East of West #1 (Image): Miss an Image #1?  Not a chance!  Seriously, though, while I missed out on Hickman’s The Manhattan Projects (I did order Volume 1 recently and am awaiting its arrival, however), I’ll not make the same mistake here.  Definitely worth a shot.

  • Green Hornet #1 (Dynamite): Mark Waid.  ‘Nuff said.

Did you pick up on it?  Of course you did.  It’s yet another first: no DC books this week.  That’s kinda huge.  A little light on the ol’ Marvel, too, now that I think of it.

Something’s afoot, friends.

What are you looking forward to tomorrow?

Looks like a solid week: a bunch of stack stalwarts and four fingers worth of freshness.

  • Mind MGMT #8 (Dark Horse): #7 put Henry and Meru on the road: an excellent transition–but to what?  Can’t wait to find out.

  • Action Comics #17 (DC): Here we go again: Morrison’s making his way out–with a bang, I hope.  Expectations, however, have been comic-creator kryptonite of late.  So, who knows, you know?
  • Batwoman #17 (DC): Stunning cover.  The promise of a “[m]assive conclusion.”  J.H. Williams III.  That’s pretty must “all ye need to know.”  Ye also might like to know that Williams III will be handing over the art duties to Trevor McCarthy starting with the next issue.  Might fall from the pull-list as a result.

  • Wonder Woman #17 (DC): Has been consistently good.  In that, it’s been consistently shy of great.  Therein lies the true wonder.
  • Harbinger #9 (Valiant): Dysart’s been building his corner of the Valiant Universe with a rare verve.  A wonderful place to get lost in for twenty-two pages.
  • X-O Manowar #10 (Valiant): Marching toward Planet Death with renewed energy.
  • Daredevil #23 (Marvel): What will Waid and Samnee do–what can they do?–to follow up the Coyote storyline?  We’ll see.

  • Indestructible Hulk #4 (Marvel): Have it on good authority that my House connection–see #3–wasn’t too far off.  Looking forward to seeing how it plays out.
  • G.I. Joe #1 (IDW): Banking on Fred Van Lente for this reach buy.  His Archer & Armstrong has been remarkably balanced.  May play well here, too.
  • Justice League of America #1 (DC): For no good reason.  I mean, let’s be honest: Geoff Johns hasn’t had much to offer the New 52–other than reasons not to buy core titles.
  • Kill Shakespeare: Tide of Blood #1 (IDW): I didn’t buy the first Kill Shakespeare series.  Sounds fun, though.  If I find it, I’ll flip through it and go from there.
  • Revival #7 (Image): Losing interest as quickly as it was won.  Not a good sign.  Seems like Seeley has lost focus: the storytelling hasn’t been very good over the last couple of issues.
  • The Sixth Gun: Sons of the Gun #1 (Oni): Just getting into the The Sixth Gun.  Don’t want to let this slip by, especially if it answers some questions–questions I haven’t even asked yet!

Not too bad, right?
