Comic Book Wednesday
Saturday, September 2
Hello comic fans. This looks to be one of my last true Comic Book Wednesday spots, as my regular comic book store is no more. Therefore I might not always be getting my weekly stash every... well... week. So for those who remember it will now revert back to Comic Book Run.
The Comics:
Teen Titans #38: A nice little story taking the Titans to Russia, trying to hunt down fellow Titan Raven. Here we get a glimpse as to who has been a Titan during the one year later arc. A lot of new faces. Interesting.
52 #17: A space issue featuring Lobo. I for one am not much of a Lobo fan, although I was a big fan of Slo-bo (or Lil' Lobo) in Young Justice.... but that's a different character altogether. We did get a topless Starfire though! Didn't really show anything... d'oh. Kind of another slow week.
The Boys #2: This issue picked up from the first one I must say. I was all but ready to quit this, but now it's getting a bit more interesting. A lot more violent too.
Superman/Batman #29: For such an important title, the stories in this book seem so much like gimicks than anything of importance. At least they're letting other characters join in. Existing characters I mean, not the handful of throwaways like Loeb used to make up.
The Trials of Shazam!: I never seriously collected anything featuring Captain Marvel. Truthfully I really think it was because of the silly title with Shazam! in it. But legal matters aside, I've always did like to at least see the Captain appear elsewhere. And when his character mattered in JSA, I started to get hooked. Then Day of Vengence hit, and it was all about the magic, and I just don't care about magic in the DCU. Unless Zatanna is in it (kinda just like the costume). So, with this being a 12 issue mini, I figured I'd give it a shot, and I like it.
X-Men #190: Eh.
