ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #639
Publisher: DC Comics
Writer: Judd Winick
Art: Ian Churchill and Norm Rapmund
Part 2 of a 3 part ho hum story. At least
there is only one part to go.
|
BATGIRL #63
Publisher: DC Comics
Writer: Andersen Gabrych
Art: Alé Garza, Jesse Delperdang and Dustin Nguyen (cover)
I like that Batgirl has somewhat come out from
under the shadow of the bat. Her tenure in Bludhaven should prove
interesting.

BATMAN #639
Publisher: DC Comics
Writer: Judd Winick
Art: Doug Mahnke, Tom Nguyen and Matt Wagner (cover)
Still a solid story even though I'm not overly
fond of the latest revival.
|
CAPTAIN AMERICA #5
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Writer: Ed Brubaker
Art: Steve Epting and Michael Lark
Still going strong with the promise of a big
reveal next issue. I wonder who really shot the Red Skull.

CITY OF TOMORROW #1 (Of 6)
Publisher: Wildstorm
Writer: Howard Chaykin
Art: Howard Chaykin
Off to an interesting start- Chaykin generally
makes for an interesting read.
|
DAREDEVIL #72
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Art: Alex Maleev
I think I am beginning to suffer from too much
Bendis each month, what's he writing 30 or so titles a month now?

|
INVINCIBLE #0
Publisher: Image Comics
Writer: Robert Kirkman
Art: Ryan Ottley & Bill Crabtree
50 Cents people- and it catches you up to the
current story, how can you go wrong?
|
KARNEY #1 (Of 4)
Publisher: IDW
Writer: Bryan Johnson
Art: Walter Flannigan
I really don't know what to make of this book.
It's a solid effort on a story involving regular folk and those
cute little "Karneys", perhaps as the story moves along it will
come together.
|
LEGEND #3 (Of 4)
Publisher: Wildstorm
Writer: Howard Chaykin
Art: Russ Heath
2nd Chaykin book this week, great story based
on the novel Gladiator by Philip Wylie. It is the story of an average
guy with powers beyond normal people growing up and having to deal
with the reactions of those around him and him own. Great art by Russ
Heath of Sgt. Rock fame.

LEGION OF SUPER HEROES #5
Publisher: DC Comics Writer: Mark Waid
Art: Barry Kitson and Art Thibert
|
LOST AT SEA GN
Publisher: ONI Press
Writer: Bryan Lee O'Malley
Art: Bryan Lee O'Malley
The story of an 18 year old girl who has lost her own identity. A random ride home with class mates helps her rediscover who she is and realize that we are all messed up in one way or another. Recommended!
|
NEW AVENGERS #5
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Writer: Briuan Michael Bendis
Art: David Finch and Danny Miki
Does the Savage Land have quicksand? That's
what this story feels like it's trying to run through.
|
RED SONJA #0
Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment
Writers: Michael Avon Oeming and Mike Carey
Art: Mel Rubi
25 cent introduction to a title that seems to
have a lot of promise.
|
SLEEPER SEASON TWO #11 (Of 12)
Publisher: DC Comics
Writer: Ed Brubaker
Art: Sean Phillips
Just when I thought I had lost my enthusiasm
for this title, a nice twist and promise for a strong finish.
|
SOLO #4
Publisher: DC Comics
Writer: Howard Chaykin
Art: Howard Chaykin
I swear this is the last Chaykin title this
week. I really enjoy the SOLO series, while some of the creators stories
may fall flat, it's nice to let them stretch their legs- Next issue
Darwyn Cooke.
|
SUPERMAN BATMAN #19
Publisher: DC Comics
Writer: Jeph Loeb
Art: Ian Churchill and Norm Rapmund
Setting up Supergirl for her own series in the
coming months, I'm not sure if I like the idea of springboarding from
this title, not that its a bad idea, but why not give the boost with
big guest stars in her first issue?
|
SUPREME POWER #16 (MR)
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Writer: J. Michael Stracznski
Art: Gary Frank and Jonathan Sibal
Always a strong title, the stories take a long
time to unfold, but the payback is some of the richest characterization
in a book today. This will switch to the Marvel Knights impring after
issue 18, it will be interesting to see what changes, if any take
place.
|
ULTIMATE SECRET #2 (Of 4)
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Writer: Warren Ellis
Art: Ateve McNiven and Mark Morales
I suppose I should like this book more but
for some reason it leaves me flat, it could be the decade or so
between issues or something.
|
UNLIKELY GN
Publisher: Top Shelf
Writer: Jeffrey Brown
Art: Jeffrey Brown
This book just draws you in, I'm not sure if
it's the personal nature combined with the rough illistration style,
but you can't help be drawn into this story of the author's first
real girlfriend. This book deals with mature subject matter so I would
not recommend it to kids, but I would to everyone else.
|
WONDER WOMAN #215
Publisher: DC Comics
Writer: Greg Rucka
Art: Rags Morales, Michael Bair and J.G. Jones (cover)
Gearing up for a big battle in Hades. A blind
Wonder Woman is tougher than when she could see.
|
X-MEN PHOENIX ENDSONG #5 (Of 5)
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Writer: Greg Pak
Art: Greg Land
The title says "EndSong", but the ending was
kind of open...
