Comicbook Pregame: week of 4/7/10

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

Star Wars Purge Hidden Blade (One Shot), $3.50

Per the solicitation this seems like the Darth Vader vs Jedi showdown I've been waiting 15 issues of Dark Times for.

Batman And Robin #1, $1.00
Batman And Robin #11, $2.99
Batman And Robin Deluxe Edition Volume 1 Batman Reborn HC, $24.99

It's nice of DC to re-offer issue one for only a buck, the first three issues remain the best of the run. The 1st trade also hits stores Wednesday and despite some pretty bad art on a few issues is good stuff. Also, new Batman and Robin so yes to that.

Losers #1, $1.00

In time for the movie DC, well Vertigo, is also offering this up for a mere one dollar. I read this in trade and it's a lot of fun complete with big action and fantastic art.

Red Robin #11, $2.99

Part 3 of a so far solid crossover with Batgirl.

Image Firsts Chew #1, $1.00
Image Firsts Spawn #1, $1.00

More dollar issues, I love this trend.If you have any interest at all in a comic how can you not drop one unit of cash money.

King City #7, $2.99

NEW! Sweet.

Turf #1, $2.99

A new crime/noir story this time with art by Tommy Lee Edwards. That sounds pretty appealing but I've never heard of the writer. Will probably still check this out...actually looking again at the cover, is that a spaceship?!? Okay I will be buying this then.

Viking Volume 1 Long Cold Fire HC, $29.99

I would probably recommend this...at about half the price.

Avengers The Origin #1 (of 5), $3.99

Doing a little calculations Marvels asking you to spend 20 bucks for a decompressed version of a single issue of Kirby/Lee Avengers. Pass.

Daredevil Noir TP, $14.99

Putting aside all the jokes of this being redundant I never actually heard if it was any good.

New Avengers Luke Cage #1 (of 3), $3.99

For a few years I've heard people asking for a Luke Cage series, well this one has art by Eric Canete so double win for Cage fans.

S.H.I.E.L.D. #1, $3.99

Though I've yet to be blown away by Hickman's Marvel work this one looks awesome.

Thor And The Warriors Four #1 (of 4), $2.99

This ones written by Alex Zalben of Comic Book Club fame (well fame in a reviews comics sort of way). He's always seemed like a pretty cool dude so hey why not read this comic.

Uncanny X-Men #523, $2.99

The great thing about these big X-Events is you get a chapter every week. That's how all big events should be, it keeps the audience excited and prevents that burn out that happens when a story stretches past 6 months.

Vengeance Of The Moon Knight #7, $2.99

So... this is still happening.

Wolverine #66 (Marvel's Greatest Comics), $1.00

More comics for a buck, this ones worth it if only for the jaw dropping art.

Wolverine Weapon X #12, $3.99

Had to survive last week without a Jason Aaron comic, luckily, this week, we have this.

Dr Who Magazine #419, $8.40

I feel like I should probably know more about Dr. Who. All I know is that there's been a bunch of actors play him and he has like a magic phone booth, or powers, or super science or something. I think he can travel through time?

One Piece Volume 39 TP, $9.99
One Piece Volume 40 TP, $9.99
One Piece Volume 41 TP, $9.99
One Piece Volume 42 TP, $9.99
One Piece Volume 43 TP, $9.99

Holy crap, again with the five volumes at once.

That's all folks. Anything you're looking forward to? Comments.

What else you going to do with a dollar, go to McDonald's? McDonald's is fucking terrible. These comics have more nutritional value.
