Alberto Ponticelli, All-New X-Men, Archer & Armstrong, Astro City, Avatar, Bedlam, BOOM!, Brian Michael Bendis, China Mieville, comics, Craig Cermak, Daredevil: Dark Nights, Daredevil: End of Days, Dark Horse, David Mack, DC Comics, Dean Motter, Dial H, Dynamite, East of West, Elena Casagrande, Fred Van Lente, Garth Ennis, J. Michael Straczynski, Jason Latour, Jonathan Hickman, Justin Jordan, Kieron Gillen, Klaus Janson, Kurt Busiek, Lee Weeks, Marvel, Mike Carey, Mister X: Eviction, Nick Spencer, Patrick Zircher, Pere Perez, Rachel Rising, Red Team, Ryan Browne, Shadowman, Stuart Immonen, Suicide Risk, Ten Grand, Terry Moore, Uber, Valiant, Wednesday, Winter Soldier

I’ll take one of everything, please.

  • Mister X: Eviction #2 (Dark Horse): #1 was one of my favorite books of May.  Looking forward to this–and not just because of its gorgeous cover:
Mister X: Eviction #2

Mister X: Eviction #2

  • Astro City #1 (DC): I don’t have any history with this title, but I’m willing to give it–and Kurt Busiek–a shot.
  • Dial H #13 (DC): The funeral march has begun–for, arguably, DC’s best, certainly most consistently creative, monthly title.
Dial H #13

Dial H #13

  • Bedlam #7 (Image): With it comes a new artist: Ryan Browne.  And just like that, I may become a former reader of Bedlam.  Or I may love it more.  That’s why we read ’em, folks.
  • East of West #3 (Image): I’d really like this to knock my socks off the way Hickman’s own The Manhattan Projects does.  Chances are it won’t, but I’d still like to like it.  #2 was a decent step in that direction.
  • Ten Grand #2 (Image): Sure, JMS is a name, but this story seems like it could be just more of the same.  If #2 breaks away from the pack, even just a bit, I’ll stick with it.  If not, I’m off.
  • All-New X-Men #12 (Marvel): It is what it is–or even slightly less than that now that Brian Wood’s in X-Town.
  • Daredevil: Dark Nights #1 (Marvel): Just what I need: another DD mini by a DD legend–in this case, Lee Weeks.  Oy.
Daredevil: Dark Nights #1

Daredevil: Dark Nights #1

  • Daredevil: End of Days #8 (Marvel): A real surprise.  With the names on it, shouldn’t’ve been; but I don’t think anyone expected it to be this good.
  • Winter Soldier #19 (Marvel): Last issue whispered, “Don’t leave yet.”
  • Archer & Armstrong #10 (Valiant): Consistently solid.
  • Red Team #3 (Dynamite): Damn thing’s gonna take off.  I can feel it.  Check out the cover, for God’s sake.  I have a joke about it that doesn’t really work, but I’m gonna throw it out there anyway: Jesus Christ!  Talk about having someone in your cross hairs!
Red Team #3

Red Team #3

  • Rachel Rising #17 (Abstract Studio): Terry Moore’s rising, too.  No one does panel-to-panel suspense better than this guy.
  • Shadowman #7 (Valiant): No longer in the shadow of the other Valiant books.  In fact, it’s starting to cast its own, thanks to Justin Jordan and Patrick Zircher.
  • Suicide Risk #2 (BOOM!): #1 wasn’t remarkable–or if it was, it wasn’t for the right reasons.  To be fair, I’ll give it one more try.
  • Uber #2 (Avatar): Same here.

What are you looking forward to this week?

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?

In Scott’s Bag (1/2)

Bill Sienkiewicz, Brian Michael Bendis, Bullseye, Colder, comics, Daredevil: End of Days, Dark Horse, Dave Stewart, David Mack, DC, Ed Brubaker, Fatale, Fury: My War Gone By, Garth Ennis, Goran Parlov, Image, Jeff Lemire, Juan Ferreyra, Justice League Dark, Klaus Janson, Marvel, Mikel Janin, Miles Morales, Paul Tobin, Ray Fawkes, Sara Pichelli, Sean Phillips, Ultimate Spider-Man, Venom, Wednesday, Zatanna

It’s a classic story: Boy gets bag.  Boy looks into bag.  Boy finds all the books he was hoping to find.  Boy closes bag.  Boy opens wallet.

B to the A to the G

  • Colder #3 (Another gorgeous cover from Juan Ferreyra.  And just underneath, a little hide and seek with Nimble Jack.  I’ve been starving for this one, so it’ll be my primo for the evening.  I mean, why wait?)
  • Fatale #11 (Gosh, I don’t think I’ve given enough credit to the colorist, Dave Stewart.  Friggin’ brilliant.  He’s just as much a part of setting the tone for this Top Ten book as the superstars whose names adorn the cover.)
  • Fury: My War Gone By #8 (Kicks off with a killer splash and a deadly hook: “You should have killed the little boy.”  Best first page of the year–so far, anyway.)
  • Justice League Dark #15 (Janin’s back and, thoughtful as always, brought a lot of Zatanna with him.   And, umm, Lemire’s got a co-writer: one Ray Fawkes.  I hope that doesn’t Fawke up the flow.)
  • Ultimate Spider-Man #19 (I just don’t care about Venom.  Thumbed through.  Still don’t care about Venom.  Potential saving grace: more Miles than Spidey-Miles.)
  • Daredevil: End of Days #4 (The promise of Bullseye is enough for me.)
Daredevil: End of Days #4 Cover

Daredevil: End of Days #4 Cover

Not a bad batch.  Might as well get to it.

What did you get in your bag today?

Art Baltazar, bag, Batman Incorporated, Butch Guice, Chris Samnee, comics, Ed Brubaker, Franco, Fury Max, Garth Ennis, Grant Morrison, Jason Aaron, Jeff Lemire, Justice League Dark, Lee Garbett, Mark Waid, Mike Allred, Superman Family Adventures, The Rocketeer, The Ultimates, Wednesday, Winter Soldier, Wolverine and the X-Men

Seems like a fun bunch.  Impatient, too.  They’re desperate–just dying!–to be read.  And I’m desperate–still denying!—because I have dictatorial duties demanding my time.

Baggy Pants

  • Winter Soldier #11 (We’re in the winter of Brubaker’s run, apparently.  That makes me terribly sad; but I’ll have to buck up and soldier on.)
  • Wolverine and the X-Men #17 (Hmm.  A fill-in book, sure; but it’s Allred doin’ Doop.  I’m down.)
  • Fury Max #6 (Thumbed through.  Saw a guy with his head in a vise.  Max, indeed.)
  • Justice League Dark #0 (Constantine’s such a smug bastard.  Love it.)
  • The Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom #2 (I missed it when it came out.  Thanks to my guy, I didn’t have to miss it very long.  Plus: I get an unexpected Chris Samnee fix!)

Skinny Jeans

  • Batman Incorporated #0 (Why haven’t I put this on my pull list?)
  • The Ultimates #16 (I’m such a chump.  I didn’t have to pick it up.  But I saw it there; and the little demon said, “Well, you got the last one, so you might as well.”  I was like, “Angel?  Little angel?”  Ended up finding the little angel when I got back to the car: it was bound and gagged behind the driver’s seat; and it looked at me with eyes filled with sorry tears as I placed my bag–with this book in it–on the backseat.)

The Ultimates #16 Cover

Baby Girl’s Pick of the Week

  • Superman Family Adventures #5 (She’s got good taste.)

Can’t wait to get busy with these.

What did you get in your bag today?

bag, Batwoman, Brian Michael Bendis, Charles M. Schulz, Chris Samnee, Cliff Chiang, comics, Dare, J.H. Williams III, Mark Waid, Peanuts, Spider-Men, The Ultimates, Ultimate Spider-Man, Wednesday, Wonder Woman

A rare week: I picked more books off the shelf than I had in my bag.

100% Pulled

  • Wonder Woman #0 (Love the retro look from Cliff Chiang!)
  • Ultimate Spider-Man #15 (Quick flip: mostly Miles out of uniform.  Probably means it’s going to be Bendis at his best.)
  • Daredevil #18 (Owoooooooooooooooooooo!  Chris Samnee’s back!)

100% Picked

  • Batwoman #0 (Mr. Williams III promised us that “[i]t’ll read unlike any previous chapter of Batwoman so far.”  Gave it a little look-see.  I was not expecting a shift in style like that!  Can’t wait to read it.)
  • Spider-Men #5
  • The Ultimates #15 (You heard about it in the news, too, right?  Ugh.  I’m a sucker.  There’s no way around it.  Question is: will I read it or will I just bag it?)

Baby Girl’s Pick of the Week

Peanuts Vol. 2 #1 Cover

  • Peanuts #1 (Last month’s, but we couldn’t pass it up–especially after watching the surfers out at Montauk on Sunday afternoon.)

Looks like a solid week.  Just wish I had some time in my bag, too.

What did you get in your bag today?

bag, Batman, Comedian, comics, Frankenstein, Harbinger, Suicide Squad, The Rocketeer, The Shade, Wednesday, Winter Soldier, Wolverine and the X-Men, X-O Manowar

Another big week.  Can’t wait to crack ’em open.

Yes, Know:

  • X-O Manowar #5
  • Harbinger #4
  • Winter Soldier #10
  • Wolverine and the X-Men #16
  • Batman #0
  • Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #0
  • Suicide Squad #0
  • The Shade #12
  • Comedian #3

Self vs. Shelf

  • AvX #11 (The collector in me won this out-of-the-blue battle.  Bastard.)

AvX #11 Cover

Oh, and umm, some sad news: I missed The Rocketeer; and from what I hear, I really missed it.  Oh, me!  I need my fix of Samnee!  Here’s hoping my guy’s distributor has one sitting around somewhere.

And no Fatale either.  I’m dying over here!

I may need some help carrying my bag out of the shop this week.

More Than Zero

  • Batman #0
  • Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #0
  • Suicide Squad #0: Not too sure how much longer I’m sticking with this.

Coo coo ca-choo, Mr. Robinson

  • The Shade #12: You will be missed.  A lot.

The Shade #12 Cover

Funny Business

  • Comedian #3: Dipped a bit after a stellar #1.  Hope it bounces back with a killer punchline.

Marvel Shrinky-Dinks

  • Winter Soldier #10: I’m still all twisted up after the last one.  Unwind me, dammit!  No!  What am I talking about?  Twist me some more!
  • Wolverine and the X-Men #16: Last one was a decent comeback after some terrible AvX tie-ins.

Fat Chance

  • Fatale #8: Brubaker’s baby, baby!  This cradle is most assuredly rockin’.

Soaring with Samnee

  • The Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom #2: The art was the highlight here–a very highlight.  In the stratosphere, even!

X-Oh Yeah!

  • X-O Manowar #5: Suits me just fine.
  • Harbinger #4: Quality, quality, quality.  Valiant’s got it in pspades.

Gee.  Is that it?  I’m gonna need a friggin’ hand truck.

How about you?  What’s gonna be in your bag tomorrow?

Action Comics, Animal Man, Archer & Armstrong, bag, Ben Oliver, Bloodshot, comics, DC Comics, Dial H, Marvel, Millar, Super Crooks, Swamp Thing, Ultimate Spider-Man, Valiant, Wednesday, Yu, zero

Who knew?  After thumbing through the lot of ’em, I’m actually looking forward to this bunch o’ books, even–no, especially the zeroes.  Just when I thought this week would be nothing more than another Valiant effort…

The Princely Pair:

  • Archer & Armstrong #2
  • Bloodshot #3

The Null Set:

  • Action Comics #0 (Looks gorgeous.)

Action Comics #0 Cover

  • Animal Man #0
  • Dial H #0
  • Swamp Thing #0

On the Web:

  • Ultimate Spider-Man #14

Finally:

  • Super Crooks #4 (Not Millar’s fault–this time.  And it looks like Yu really did it this time!  Yummy!)

What did you get in your bag?

bag, comics, Justice League, The Flash, Wednesday, Winter Soldier, Wolverine and the X-Men, X-O Manowar

Nothing more, nothing less than what I expected:

Pull-List Pretties:

  • X-O Manowar #4

    X-O Manowar #4 Cover

  • Winter Soldier #9 (Better Ed than dead.)
  • Wolverine and the X-Men #15

Shelfugees:

  • The Flash Annual #1 (Yikes!  Five bucks.)
  • Justice League #12 (Yup, I’m a sucker.)

LittleNerd’s Pick of the Week:

  • Superman Family Adventures #4 (What happened to #3?  Something tells me that baby won’t notice.)

That pretty much looks like the order I’ll be hitting the stack, too.
