Comicbook Pregame: week of 4/14/10



Join me once again, as I peruse this week's shipping list and comment on things of interest.

Mercury HC (by Hope Larson), $19.99
Mercury GN (by Hope Larson), $9.99


Pretty looking indie cartoons from Eisner Award-winner Hope Larson, check it out.

Wolfskin Hundredth Dream #1 (of 6), $3.99

Brutal barbarian brutality from Warren Ellis, it's brutal.

Hellcyon #1 (of 4), $3.50

Sci-fi civil war. Art looks pretty and it's only 4 issues, seems like a good risk to take.

Brightest Day #0, $3.99

3.99 for a biweekly book. You really think that's a good idea DC?

Daytripper #5 (of 10), $2.99

This has been fantastic. Each issue is stand alone so if you missed the first four you should still pick this up.

Ex Machina #1 (New Printing), $1.00
Image Firsts Age Of Bronze #1, $1.00
Image Firsts Savage Dragon #1, $1.00
Hulk #1 (Marvels Greatest Comics), $1.00


More dollar issues, yay.

Flash #1, $3.99

Manapul's art is excellent but Rebirth sucked so much that I have no interest in this.

Unwritten #12, $2.99

The thrice Eisner nominated comic you should be reading.

Women Of The DC Universe Series 3 Batgirl Bust, $60.00

These Amanda Conner designed busts are adorable. If I collected such things these would be at the top of my list.


Art Of Tony Harris Art & Skullduggery HC, $49.99
Art Of Tony Harris Art & Skullduggery HC (Signed & Numbered Edition)(per IDW), $79.99


Too rich for my wallet but it should be very pretty.

Kill Shakespeare #1, $3.99
Pantheon #1 (of 5), $3.99
Pilgrim #1, $3.99
Wire Hangers #1, $3.99


A bunch of #1s from IDW none of which sound any good. Pantheon is a movie pitch for Michael Chiklis and Pilgrim is written by the dude who did the Transformers movies. The others might be readable....maybe.

Black Widow #1, $3.99

3.99 for an ongoing Black Widow comic. You really think that's a good idea Marvel? Still, that is a great cover:



Iron Man Legacy #1, $3.99

3.99 is a bit much but Van Lente writing and Kurth drawing makes this hard to resist.

New Mutants #12, $2.99

The next chapter in the Second Coming, dig it.

PunisherMAX #6, $3.99

Jason Aaron, Steve Dillon. The first story arc was phenomenal, I expect nothing less from this issue.

Savage Axe Of Ares #1, $3.99

I've been loving this old school black and white anthologies that Marvel's been doing. This one features Ares, a character I've enjoyed immensely since the dynamite Oeming/Foreman mini.

Siege Captain America #1, $2.99
Siege Loki #1, $2.99


Siege tie ins. Most likely they'll be completely skip-able but solid.

Spider-Man Died In Your Arms Tonight TP, $19.99
Spider-Man The Gauntlet Volume 2 Rhino & Mysterio HC (Premiere Edition), $19.99


One of the best superhero comics on the stands, if you haven't been reading Spider-Man here's your chance to catch up.

Teen Aged Dope Slaves And Reform School Girls TP, $20.00


Best title of the week.

Inu Yasha Volume 47 TP, $9.99

47 volumes?!? Maybe you should drag it out some more, I'm sure it hasn't gotten old at all.

Yotsuba & ! Volume 8 GN, $10.99

This is an extremely lovable comic. Really great stuff, highly recommended.

There is also a whole horde of books coming out from IndyPlanet. Don't know if they're any good but it's worth browsing the website. Always on the lookout for cool new creators.

That's all for this week, join us next time when I totally talk shit about something you love.
