Comicbook Pregame: week of 03/31/10



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

Governator #1, $3.99

This is a great idea for a few strips in a webcomic, not sure it can fill a whole issue.

Littlest Zombie #1, $3.50

This sounds pretty good but seriously enough Zombie stuff for a while.

Sonic The Hedgehog #211, $2.50

211 issues?!? Really? Wow.

Rasl #7, $3.50

Love Jeff Smith's Bone but I still haven't checked this out. From what I hear it's great.

Blackest Night #8 (of 8), $3.99

In this issue Sinestro saves the day and Hal Jordan is revealed to be impotent. SPOILER.

Detective Comics #863, $3.99

MMmmmm...J.H. Williams cover.

Gotham City Sirens #10, $2.99

I like Guillem March's art, I don't care if it is cheesecakey.

Dragon Age #1, $3.99


Based on the hit video game is usually code for stay the fuck away but the Penny Arcade guys have been doing comics for Dragon Age and this issue features Orson Scott Card who, despite political views, is a hell of a writer.

Transformers #5, $3.99

For a Transformers series this has been a bit of all right.

Image Firsts: Walking Dead #1, $1.00

Cool, I've been meaning to read this. This 'Image Firsts' program is a good idea for a promotion, way to go Image.

Image Firsts: Youngblood #1, $1.00

This 'Image Firsts' program is a terrible idea for a promotion, way to go Image.

Amazing Spider-Man #627, $2.99

Roger Stern's first issue as a regular part of the writing team, fingers crossed.

Fantastic Four #577, $2.99

Still waiting for this to start being a story and not just an idea. Lets hope it starts here.

Iron Man Extremis HC, $24.99

Now that Tony no longer has the Extremis armor buy the book where he gets it. A bit slow but Warren Ellis and Adi Granov tell a solid Iron Man story.

New Mutants #11, $2.99

Eleven issues in and this has already tied into two big events, that's usually not a good sign. This issue is written by Kieron Gillen and drawn by Niko Henrichon so I have high hopes.

Punisher #15, $2.99
Punisher MAX #1 (Marvel's Greatest Comics), $1.00


Two Punisher books that are worlds apart but both are awesome. Well at least MAX is and Frankencastle has been so I expect this issue to be rad, that's right, rad.

Women Of Marvel Poster, $8.99

Alan Davis, 'nuff said.

X-Force #25, $2.99

The X-Necrosha finale ships on the same day as the Blackest Night finale...awkward.

X-Men Second Coming #1, $3.99

Not sure what to expect out of this event but the last massive X-Men crossover (Messiah Complex) was the best big crossover Marvel had done in years so let's hope this one can be its equal. Also let's hope Greg Land's not drawing any of it.

Johnny The Homicidal Maniac HC (New Printing), $44.95

I'm pretty sure this is one of the books that I'm suppose to read but 45 bucks.

Pluto Urasawa X Tezuka Volume 8 GN (of 8), $12.99

I've only read the first three volumes but damn were they good. Really looking forward to finishing the series.

Wizard Magazine #224, $5.99

Wizard is still being published, good for them.

Zombie Ninja Pirates Card Game, $17.95

It had to happen.

Tokidoki X Marvel T-shirt Line

Cute.

That's all that caught my eye this week. Anything I missed comment below.

-egs

Not even going to mention the ridiculous Bluewater books anymore...except for right now when I did, but that was just to say that I'm not mentioning them...err, anymore...starting now.
