All Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder #6Frank Miller & Jim Lee The preview is up at Newsarama, and apparently Frank Miller has gotten DC to allow him to say “shit” in this book. This is a trainwreck, but it’s a trainwreck perpetrated by a charismatic and hilarious but very drunk train. I eagerly [...]
All-Flash #1Mark Waid & Various Mark Waid comes back to the character that launched his writing career to save him from the depths of drudgery and bad planning. The mechanism that got us to this point – the combination of Full Throttle and Lightning Saga – was pretty heinous, but this issue will give us [...]
Green Arrow: Year One #1 (of 6)Andy Diggle & Jock The team of sleeper Vertigo hit The Losers returns to provide the new definitive origin of Oliver Queen and the first of Didio’s new planned “Year One” sub-line, complete with nifty (read: dumb) logo in his proud tradition of repeating the titles of old DC [...]
Action Comics #851 Here it is, finally, the return of Geoff Johns & Richard Donner — with a $2.99 standard edition and a $3.99 *3D* edition. Between this and buying a double-gatefold anniversary issue of X-Men last week that set up a crossover, I’m getting severe ’90s flashback and I don’t think I’m the only [...]
Yo, David Uzumeri here to comment on new funnybooks again! Blue Beetle #16John Rogers & Rafael Albuquerque Rogers comes back to Blue Beetle just in time to tie into everyone’s favorite weekly series, COUNTDOWN! This issue is set to feature the return of Eclipso to Earth, presumably so she can make Mary Marvel’s skirt EVEN [...]
Flash: The Fastest Man Alive #13Marc Guggenheim & Tony Daniel Well, now we know why DC was promoting this book with retailer incentives so strongly: it’s OVER. The solicited Flash #14-15 will actually be All-Flash #1 and Flash #231, the first two issues of Mark Waid’s return to the book. This is pretty damned big [...]
New Avengers #31 According to Marvel’s marketing department, this issue will spontaneously cause all comic stores to combust on Wednesday morning, forming a flaming pentagram pattern across North America used to bring Mephisto into our world, who will then hold a parade down Fifth Avenue where Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Millar will stand on [...]
All-New Atom #12, Birds of Prey #107 & Welcome To Tranquility #7 $2.99 – Look out, chickensluts! A triple-dose of Gail Simone this week is liable to render you completely unable to process other human beings as anything other than walking quip factories! I’m not really sure what the “BOPPERS” and “Tranquers” or whatever Ms. [...]
DC Action Comics #850 $3.99 All of the regular Superman writers (Kurt Busiek, Geoff Johns, and on-hand fill-in expert Fabian Nicieza) get together for a vaguely defined anniversary issue that involves going to the future, and also maybe looking at Superman’s past, and Kara Zor-El, and the Legion, and Chris Kent, and I guess everything [...]
Small offering this week. List is after the jump, as always. DC Countdown #49 $2.99 Dan DiDio and editorialThe Monitors are here to clean up the Crisis’s cosmic mistakes! Mary Marvel acts like a completely unsympathetic nutjob! Mike Marts swears everything we think was a mistake was planned from the beginning and misuses the word [...]
