Join me once again, as I peruse this week's shipping list and comment on things of interest.
Okko Cycle Of Air #1 (of 4), $3.95
I bought the first mini in a collected hardcover. Story was fairly average but hot damn was it beautiful. Well worth owning.
Joe The Barbarian #4 (of 8), $2.99
Morrison, Murphay, you know the drill. (the drill being that it is good)
Power Girl #11, $2.99
Another great book that you will totally, love...unless your a Nazi. Are you saying you're a Nazi?
Spirit #1, $3.99
Again DC? What happened to the last Spirit series?
Genshiken Return Of The Otaku Novel TP, $9.99
I really enjoyed both the Manga and Anime, they're nerdcentric but then, I'm a nerd. Actually even putting aside all the otaku stuff, Kio Shimoku did a great job of making the characters 'real'. A bit suspicious of a novel by a new writer but I'm genuinely interested in spending more time with these people.
SheBucaneer Origins #1 (of 3), $3.99
First off, that is a terrible name. I love how the solicit mentions Ann Bonney and Mary Read thinking, well there you have it, woman pirates. Never mind that they were famous precisely because the were the only ones people had ever seen or heard of.
Image Firsts Girls #1, $1.00
Image Firsts Witchblade #1, $1.00
New Avengers #1 (Marvels Greatest Comics), $1.00
I will always list dollar comics in the pregame because, fuck yes, dollar comics.
Magdalena #1, $3.99
Ryan Sook, there you are. Are you drawing a Top Cow book now? Oh, only the covers, ok then. Phew, for a minute there I thought I'd have to buy a Top Cow book.
Amazing Spider-Man #628, $3.99
See the words for Power Girl, duplicate them here.
Captain America Who Won't Wield The Shield #1 (One Shot), $3.99
I always get the impression that Marvel doesn't take its self quite as seriously as DC. Could be part of the reason for their success.
Firestar #1, $3.99
You know at least one person will be buying this.
Hercules Fall Of An Avenger #2, $3.99
We should start a betting pool on how many terrible photoshoped background Olivette uses in this issue. My money's on 11.
Marvel Her-Oes #1, $2.99
The idea of Marvel heroes re-imagined as high school kids has a lot of potential but that title is so bad it makes SheBucaneer sound good...actually SheBucaneer still sounds like crap none-the-less, bad title.
Sif #1, $3.99
Travel Foreman has some experience drawing kick-ass Marvel mythology. This is also written by Matt Fraction's wife, so that's cool.
Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #9, $3.99
This issue sees the return of David Lafuente and Spider-Woman who, according to the solicits is totally going to make out with one of the main characters. Seeing as she's a clone of Peter that's going to be awkward no matter who it is.
What If Secret Invasion TP, $19.99
...had been good? Had to do it Marvel, you set yourself up.
X-Factor #204 (X-Men Second Coming Tie-In), $2.99
X-Men Legacy #235 (X-Men Second Coming Tie-In), $2.99
Two issues of Second Coming which sound increasingly more sexual every time I say it.
WWE Heroes #2, $3.99
Ha ha, wrestling comics. When will people learn?
and on that note, comment below with your thoughts on this weeks releases.
-egs
despite the fact I said releases, try and keep it clean, or not, I don't really care, it's not like kids read comics.
