Comic Book Run
Friday, September 22
Did my comic book run again last Wednesday. Got myself a lot of comics, including a few that are scheduled to come out next week! WooHoo! So I don't think I'll be going next week. Also ran into Greg there too, which was a surpirse.
You know the drill, here's the list:
Superman #656: Still reading this arc by Kurt Busiek. This issue was mostly Superman Vs. some alien. Funny how Superman always seems to be going up against some new random creature that's almost as strong as he is. Kinda makes him seem less "super". Also in this issue, a flashback arc of a young Clark out of High School doing his traveling of the world... as he did before becoming Superman. This issue... eh.
Ion #6: The Guardians revieal just how important Kyle Rayner is to them: Very Important. Turns out he's their "reset button". Also he's one powerful mo-fo. The reveal of the Monitors in Brave New World seem to be making a play here soon.
Catwoman #59: It's the story arc that wouldn't die. It's like one giant OYL arc, revealing hardly anything of interest... dragging out the fact that Selina had a frickin' kid... so just tell us who the father is already!
The Flash #4: Really didn't read it yet, just flipped through it. I was wanting to finish up this first story arc, but it's not keeping my interest. I'll probably drop this.
Robin #154: More of the old school Robin tales I remember reading during the earlier issues of this run. But is that a good thing? A re-occuring theme in both Robin and Nightwing... there's always some new wanna be hero trying to get trained by one of these two, and this issue sports a new one of these in the form of a teleporting kid named Dodge.
X-Men: Civil War #3: This fizzled out. Is it over? Hell, I don't know. I should stop reading it.
Astonishing X-Men #17: Yeah! I like this book! Just what an X-book should read like. We finally find out what was inside the mysterious box, and how they used Kitty to get into it.
Civil War #4: So check it, I managed to get the Michael Turner varient cover for this bad boy. I really like this series so far... so far. They did one thing that was a little of a bump in the road, but then they got back on track.... here's a spoiler warning for ya... they made a Thor clone. Yeah. Feels like a cop out. But then they split up the Fantastic Four, and made up their own version of DC's Suicide Squad.
Birds of Prey #98: Haven't read it. Looks like some new Batgirl wanna be makes an appearance. Don't look for her to stick around though.
52 #20: More of the space adventure. Just not digging Lobo.
Advanced copies of....
Trials of Shazam! #2: We see the new costume for Billy Baston.. a.k.a. Captain Marvel... or Marvel, as I think he's going by. Or was it Shazam!? Anyway, the shake ups continue for all things Marvel, in the DCU.
X-Men #191: I started reading this title when the new creative team jumped on, and until now it's just been mild. This issue, I enjoyed.
JSA: Classified #17: Haven't been too much into the Classified issues of either JLA or JSA. But I couldn't pass up this gem featuring a team-up... yeah... team-up, of Hourman and Bane.... drawn by Scott McDaniel.
