Comic Book Pregame: week of 03/03/2010



Join me won't you, as I peruse this week's shipping list and comment on things of interest.

Bo Obama White House Tails (One Shot), $6.99
Female Force Sarah Palin (Going Rogue Edition), $3.99


Stop it Bluewater or I will find you.

Buck Rogers 1930s Collection Frame, $31.99
Buck Rogers 25th Century Frame, $31.99
Buck Rogers Collage Frame, $31.99
Buck Rogers Logo Belt Buckle, $21.99
Buck Rogers Ray Gun Belt Buckle, $21.99
Buck Rogers Ray Gun Cigarette Case, $29.99
Buck Rogers Rocket Man Belt Buckle, $21.99
Buck Rogers Rocket Man Cigarette Case, $29.99
Buck Rogers Small Card ID Case, $22.99
Buck Rogers Space Girls Unite Belt Buckle, $21.99
Buck Rogers Spaceship Small Card ID Case, $22.99
Buck Rogers Vintage Cigarette Case, $29.99
Buck Rogers Vintage Keychain, $12.00
Buck Rogers Wilma Cigarette Case, $29.99


Is it really a good idea to have all of these come out on the same day? Can even the most hardcore Buck Rodgers collector afford so much all at once?

Conan The Cimmerian #19, $2.99

Conan! Tomás Giorello returns on pencils to one of my favorite ongoings.

Detective Comics #862, $3.99

As much as I love Jock, and I fucking love Jock, it is a bit of a come down after the first 7 J.H. Williams' issues. This is still a very enjoyable book but the magic might be gone.

First Wave #1 (of 6), $3.99

Azzarello and Morales do pulp comics with Doc Savage, The Spirit, Batman, and more. Honestly I wasn't too impressed with that one-shot that came out a while back but the premise is intriguing and the art looks really good.

Great Ten #5 (of 10), $2.99

This series has been surprisingly enjoyable and this issue has a cool propaganda style cover, a technique that I never tire of. (Now that I've said that Marvel will publish a thousand variants using this technique and I will hate it.)

Planetary Volume 4 HC, $24.99

Your trade collection is complete Planetary fans. At least until they release an all in one omnibus.

Sweet Tooth #7, $2.99

First trade goes on sale May 12, 2010 according to Veritgo's website, can't wait to read it.

Warlord #12, $2.99

As a guy that loves Conan stories should I be reading this?

Sword #22, $2.99

The end approaches. Will Dara survive?

Amazing Spider-Man #623, $2.99

Another week another issue of ASM. Despite my frequent joking about One More Day, condensing the Spider-Man comics into one thrice monthly book like this is one of Marvel's best ideas in years.

Black Widow Deadly Origin HC (Premiere Edition), $19.99

They are getting ridiculously fucking fast on trade releases. Good job Marvel.

Girl Comics #1 (Of 3), $4.99

Still a terrible title but that's a shit load of talent on one book. I imagine this will be well worth picking up even at $5.

Invincible Iron Man #24, $2.99

I've really enjoyed the Iron Man relaunch but I hope that post Siege they pick up the pace a bit. I don't mind decompression but this seems a bit too slow. Still a definite buy, especially since this issue is the end of the arc.

Punisher MAX Butterfly #1, $3.99

These Punisher one-shot are usually enjoyable and this one looks particularly good.

Realm Of Kings Son Of Hulk #2 (Of 4), $3.99

As one of the like 50 people who actually read Son of Hulk to the end I'm really interested in what they'll do with Hiro-Kala.

Strange Tales HC, $29.99

I want to buy this since I missed the single issues but that's crazy expensive. Wasn't this series three, $5 issues? Even with "material from ALL SELECT COMICS 70TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL" that is entirely too much money. Guess I'll keep waiting until the library gets it or something.

Ultimate Comics Avengers #5, $3.99

Only what, two months behind schedule? That can't be right, Marvel better delay it some more or it won't feel like a Mark Miller book.

Ultimate Comics New Ultimates #1, $3.99

Is that the worst title in comics history. It might be especially when you add 'by Jeph Loeb'. At the very least the worst comic title of the last 10 years that I can think of. I really dig Frank Cho's art but I would rather be punched in the face then buy this book.

Wolverine Weapon X #11, $3.99

Have I mentioned how much i love Jason Aaron's work? I'm think I have but I'm not sure praising him every week is enough for you to truly understand how good this guy is. Just read this excerpt from the solicitations:

Killer cyborgs have come from the future to kill the heroes of today, while Wolverine embarks on an international pub crawl with a certain recently reborn Sentinel of Liberty. Beer and bullets galore!


This issue also sees the return of Ron Garney on art so you're going to want to buy this.

Girls And Corpses Magazine Spring 2010, $8.95

What. The. Fuck. You know what, I don't even want to know.

One Piece Volume 34 TP, $9.99
One Piece Volume 35 TP, $9.99
One Piece Volume 36 TP, $9.99
One Piece Volume 37 TP, $9.99
One Piece Volume 38 TP, $9.99


Again, unless these are all reprints it seems ill advised from a business sense to release them all on the same day.

Thems the books I done got my eye caught. Hows you thinking? Ain't nothin' wrong 'bout commenting below.
