Williams III, Mara, Mark Waid, Matt Wagner, Mike Norton, Ming Doyle, Oni Press, Revival, Robert Venditti, The Shadow: Year One, The Sixth Gun, The Sixth Gun: Sons of the Gun, Tim Seeley, Todd the Ugliest Kid on Earth, Tony Akins, Trevor McCarthy, Valiant, Wilfredo Torres, Wonder Woman, X-O Manowar

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.

Batwoman #19

  • 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

Daredevil #25

  • 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.

Turning pages,

Scott

No time to dilly-dally.  Well, maybe just some dilly.

Bag in the Saddle Again

  • Uncanny X-Men #3: This isn’t Bachalo’s best.  Ugh, indeed.
  • Emily and the Strangers #2: Cute.
  • Nowhere Men #4: Layers a la Mind MGMT.  Nice.
  • Sledgehammer #1: Mike Mignola’s latest, recommended by the shop guy.
Sledgehammer 44 #1

Sledgehammer 44 #1

  • Buddy Cops #1: Another rec from the shop guy.  Worth the one-shot.
Buddy Cops #1

Buddy Cops #1

  • Todd, the Ugliest Kid on Earth #3: Still strikes me as trying too hard to be clever.
  • Change #4: I’m not ready to say goodbye.  Flip tells me there’s gonna be plenty of sweet sorrow.
  • The Rocketeer: Hollywood Horror #2: May actually like this more than the Waid/Samnee collab.
  • Secret Avengers #2: This may run the same track as Thunderbolts and Avengers Arena: no more than four.
  • Bloodshot #9: Been crushin’ on Gamma.  Looks like she’s doin’ some crushin’, too–just not on me.  So jealous!
Bloodshot #9

Bloodshot #9

  • Archer & Armstrong #8: A whole lotta nothing!  No, that’s a good thing.
  • Batman #18: I still can’t get over it: “Fan favorite.”  Someone please tell me why.

And lucky me: I got my copy of The Sixth Gun Vol. 1 in the mail today!

It’s a good day.

What did you get in your bag today?

In Scott’s Bag (2/13)

Ales Kot, Archer & Armstrong, Batman, Battlefields, Bedlam, Bloodshot, Brian Michael Bendis, Change, Chris Bachalo, Clone, David Schulner, DC Comics, Duane Swierczynski, Ed Brubaker, Emanuela Lupacchino, Fatale, Fred Van Lente, Fury Max, Fury: My War Gone By, Garth Ennis, Goran Parlov, Greg Capullo, Image, Juan Jose Ryp, Ken Kristensen, M.K. Perker, Manuel Garcia, Marvel, Morgan Jeske, Nick Spencer, Riley Rossmo, Russ Braun, Scott Snyder, Sean Phillips, Secret Avengers, Sloane Leong, Todd the Ugliest Kid on Earth, Uncanny X-Men, Valiant

Big stack, little time.  Here’s the rushed rundown as drawn from the sacred sack:

  • Fury: My War Gone By #9 (Read half of it at the gas station while filling up.  Full service with a smile–on my face, anyway!  Headbutts and boots to the throat’ll do that.)
  • Archer & Armstrong #7 (My sherbet!  My lychee nut!  Bring on Batman!)
  • Bloodshot #8 (Looks like it’s loaded!  And, umm, it is weird that I seem to, umm, like Gamma, umm, well, as more than just a friend?  Sigh.  I wonder if she’ll be my Valentine.)
Bloodshot #8

Bloodshot #8

  • Battlefields: The Fall and Rise of Anna Kharkova #4 (Yes, please!)
  • Fatale #12 (Don’t think it’s a stretch to say that it’s gonna be tough to knock it off its perch.)
  • Uncanny X-Men #1 (How can one go wrong with Bendis and Bachalo?  Yeah, I’m gonna keep telling myself that until I actually crack it open.)
  • Secret Avengers #1 (It’s no secret: my expectations are pretty darned low.  It’s just that I can’t imagine a world–or a non-reboot-reboot–without a monthly Avengers book.  But then there’s reality.  Sad, sad reality.)
Secret Avengers #1

Secret Avengers #1

  • Todd, the Ugliest Kid on Earth #2 (Yeah, I get the irony.  I hope that’s not all I get.  If it is, I probably won‘t get #3.)
  • Change #3 (A quick flip: an acid trip, a peyote paid vacation.  Glorious.  Can’t wait to marry words to the psychedelic imagery.)
  • Batman #17 (Don’t want to open it until I’m good and ready.  I’ve got Archer and Armstrong, just in case.)
  • Bedlam #4 (Last issue pissed me off.  This could be my jumping off point.)
  • Comedian #5 (Nothing to say.  I feel like I should apologize for buying it.)

So, that’s what was in my bag.  What was in yours?
