Comic Book Pregame: week of 03/10/10



Join me won't you, as I peruse this week's shipping list and comment on things of interest. Only one day late, I'm catching up.

Cat Named Haiku, $5.95

Children's stories in haiku, cute and educational.

Solomon Kane Deaths Black Riders #3 (of 4), $3.50

More Robert E. Howard goodness from Dark Horse. Sword-wielding puritan badass surrounded by demons in need of killing. I trust Solomon Kane will fulfill that need.

Batgirl #8, $2.99

Be aware this is part 1 of a crossover with Red Robin. Former lovers reunite to fight evil, drama will, I'm sure, ensue.

Batman And Robin #10, $2.99

This is shipping biweekly now isn't it. That is awesome!

Ex Machina #48, $2.99

It's a pity that so close to the end this book is shipping too infrequently to really garner much buzz or excitement. It's been a great run and it will surely live on in trades but my personal excitement for it has really waned of late. I do look forward to setting down with all 50 issues and reading them all again without the delays.

Red Robin #10, $2.99


Part 2 of the crossover, see above.

Unwritten #11, $2.99

Nazis, ghosts, and resolution to last issue's cliffhanger (someone was shot in the chest), sign me up.

A-Team Shotgun Wedding #1, $3.99

WARNING, does not feature Mr. T and the T Force.

Image United #1 (Of 6)(Signed & Numbered Collectors Edition), $25.00

WARNING, this will never be worth $25 and is not a collectors item.

Amazing Spider-Man #624, $2.99

More new Vulture action, WARNING no John Malkovich.

Cable #24, $3.99

2 years latter real time, 17(?) years latter in book time will they finally finish this fight?

Criminal The Sinners #5, $3.50

I think this is all we're going to get out of Criminal for a while as Phillips is working on other things so savor the shit out this one folks. I will impatiently wait for it's return.

Mystic Hands Of Dr Strange #1 (Black & White), $3.99

Dr. Strange one-shot by these people:

Kieron Gillen, Peter Milligan, Ted Mckeever, Mike Carey, Frazier Irving, Frank Brunner, Lucio Parrillo

You're going to want this one.

PunisherMAX #5, $3.99

Another week, another Jason Aaron comic. Who says there's no God? ...Too much?

Runaways Parental Guidance HC (Premiere Edition), $19.99

How many times have they repackaged Runaways? Surely everyone who wants to read it has plenty of purchasing options by this point, is one more really necessary?

S.W.O.R.D. #5, $2.99


Last issue. The blogasphere weeps, only a few thousand readers notice.

Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #8, $3.99

More with Bendis's young Peter Parker, arts is still by Takeshi Miyazawa, I assume this is the issue where we find out what's going on with Rick Jones (Cocaine is a hell of a drug.).

Vengeance Of The Moon Knight Must Have (issues 1-3), $4.99

Labeling a Moon Knight book 'must have' - a bit of a stretch Marvel.

X-Men Forever #19, $3.99

I think I'm done with this.

X-Men Pixie Strikes Back #2 (of 4), $3.99

I know this will probably get me some heat from other bloggers, but i didn't really like the first issue all that much. Also, while at times funny, and always very pretty, wasn't huge on Hellcat.

Tick Color Series Complete Works Volume 2 TP, $34.95

SPOON!

Serenity Atlas Of The Verse Volume 1 TP, $39.95

The Browncoats strike again! ....I still miss Firefly, it was beyond great.

FF XIII Play Arts Kai Lightning Action Figure, $39.99
FF XIII Play Arts Kai Snow Action Figure, $39.99
FF XIII Play Arts Kai Vanille Action Figure, $39.99


Expensive action figures from a game I may never play (it's getting terrible reviews and I don't own a PS3). Still, it's Final Fantasy.

That's it for this week. Anything you're looking forward to?

Now I will anger the Whedonites that suddenly have a higher opinion of me knowing my undying love for Firefly (and Dr.Horrible and his X-Men) by admitting that I don't like Buffy. Bring it Buffy fans.
