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…)

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

What’s Up?

Avengers, Avengers Arena, Batwoman, Captain America, Comeback, Daredevil, DC Comics, FF, Harbinger, Image, Indestructible Hulk, Marvel, Nowehere Men, Thunderbolts, Ultimate Spider-Man, Valiant, Wonder Woman, X-O Manowar

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.

  • 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?

Turning pages,

Scott

In Scott’s Bag (12/5)

Tags

Action Comics, Adventure Time, Amazing Spider-Man, Animal Man, Bill Sienkiewicz, Brian Azzarello, Brian Michael Bendis, China Mieville, Colder, Comedian, Dan Slott, Daniel Way, Daredevil: End of Days, David Lapham, David Mack, Dial H, Elektra, Frank Castle, Fury Max, Garth Ennis, Goran Parlov, Grant Morrison, Humberto Ramos, Jeff Lemire, Juan Ferreyra, Klaus Janson, Marco Rudy, Paul Tobin, Rags Morales, Scott Snyder, Steve Dillon, Steve Pugh, Swamp Thing, Thunderbolts

I’m proud of myself.  So very, very proud of myself–mainly for what I didn’t leave with.  That, of course, doesn’t mean I got all of the books I wanted.  Here’s the super skinny:

The Gift of Bag

  • Action Comics #15
  • Animal Man #15
  • Dial H #7 (Looks like Lapham’s still on art duties.  Nothing wrong with that–especially after last month’s home run.  I thumbed through it and found some serious smile material.  Oh, Mr. Mieville, what pray-tell are you on?)
  • Swamp Thing #15 (Marco Rudy’s layouts look crazy!  I wonder how well they carry the story.)
  • Comedian #4 (Ugh.  Looks like it survived the pull list purge.  There’s a $4 oops.)
  • Fury Max #7 (Ennis shows ’em–including Azzarello on Comedian–how it’s done.)

Counterpicking

  • Daredevil: End of Days #3 (Worth the purch–if only for the spread across pages 2-3.  I’m such a slut for Elektra.)
  • Thunderbolts #1 (See previous comment.  Plus, I told Derek I’d probably buy it if, while thumbing through, I came to find Elektra stabbing someone in the face with her sai.  How about in the back of the head and out the forehead?  How about–on the same page as the aforementioned skewering–through one temple and out the other?  Close enough!)

Shelf Love

  • Adventure Time #10 (Derek really liked it, and, fortunately, my guy still had a copy sittin’ on the shelf.  Looks like a lot of fun.)

I missed Amazing Spider-Man #699 (sold out–already!), Colder #2 (none ordered for the shelf), and Secret Service #6 (possible non-ship?).  You know what that means: Fourth World here I come!  (It’s becoming a weekly thing.  Yikes!)

Oh, yeah: I passed on Avengers #1 and All-New X-Men #3.  Go me!

What did you get in your bag?

Scott
