Alright so I know I slipped up and didn't post last week. I couldn't because of many a things going done such as intergalactic wars, movies coming out, and fathers day. So please to be angry I will post now this weeks as well as last weeks pick ups.
So I shall get straight to the point and list this page up!!!!!! As well as add some thoughts on the issues and series that I love!!!
- Invincible #80*
This series is by far one of the best out, especially along the line of superhero comic books. Robert Kirkman has got to be one of the best writers out today with series such as The Walking Dead, Haunt, and many more titles with Image and Marvel. This story is so strong and shows real struggle from very creative characters. If you are not into conventional superhero comic books you need to give this one a chance. I highly suggest going and picking up this series. You can get issue one for a dollar and you will want to keep getting them. This is a must read!
- Star Wars Jedi: The Dark Side #2
I don't know much about this but I love Star Wars and I love Jedi's so I can't go that wrong with it but I'll let you know how I fell about as more issues come out.
- DMZ:Citizen Zee #66
This is another one of those series that has just been amazing from issue one. Brian Wood knows how to write strong compelling characters that do not have easy lives. I am very upset to of found out that DMZ will end at issue 72 but it will be ending strong and fulfilling. This is an amazing story of a photo journalist who is put in and unbelievable and given an even more unbelievable task. This story is full of twists and turns you could never see coming, like I said this has always been a strong story through and through I will be sad when it is over. This is a must read!
- NorthLanders:Thor's Daughter #41
Brian Wood is amazing simple as that. If you compare DMZ to NorthLanders there is only one thing that is similar and that would be amazing characters that are so deep and have so many layers they could be real people. I picked the first volume of NorthLanders only because I saw Brian Woods name on it and for good reason I got it. If you see something with his name on it pick it up. One of the coolest things about this series is that it isn't about one main character for the whole run of the series it follows The land and the people who have live there. Main characters switch with each story arch. This series could and should last forever but wont because it is being cancelled it will end at issue 50 which killed me when I found out. This is a must read!
- Fables #106
I hate to sound repetitive but this is another one of those series that has never been hit or miss it has always been a home run. I picked up the first volume and had to get the second volume and then had to get the third, long story short I had to keep getting the volumes all the way up to 14 and then add the issues to my pull box. Bill Willingham is a very cool man who understands how stories work and what will keep his audience hooked and picking up issue after issue. If you like an sort of fairy tale you'll love this story where you never know what can happen and who will pull through strong in the end. This is a must read!
- Cinderella: Fables are Forever #5
This follows Cinderella from Bill's Fables on her adventures. So after you have read Fables or some of it I think you will really enjoy this branch off series. There is one other 6 issue before this one and picking that up would be awesome because I know you would enjoy it.
- Avengers Academy: Fear Itself #15
- Avengers: Fear Itself #14
- Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt #2
- Invincible Iron Man: Fear Itself #505
- Thunder Bolts: Fear Itself #159
The Fear Itself story arch has been interesting the concept is cool the only thing I have against it is that there is so much repetitive dialogue and information. The plot and whats is going on is recapped in every issue and is unnecessary. If I'm already this deep into a story I know what is going on and don't need to be reminded this much, the good thing is that is really my only problem with it. It is big and effecting everyone good and bad with some unimaginable stuff going on. Oh the other problem that I have with it is that every main comic books series is doing Fear Itself so there are so many branch offs that it is hard to keep up with everything going on. I suggest picking up the main Fear Itself Book one, book two, and so on.
- Captain America: CORPS #1
- Captain America: The First Avenger #3
- Wolverine #11
The Wolverine series has been pretty cool and intense as hell... literally. It's a good series to pick up if you like the good old badA$$ vengeful Wolverine then pick this up I think it's worth a read and is pretty entertaining.
- Green Lantern Movie Prequel: Abin Sur one shot
- Static Shock Special one shot
Static Shock is definitely a guilty pleasure but it still held up to be a good one shot. Static Shock is also one of the titles that will get a reboot come fall this year. I am excited being a huge fan of the cartoon show and how awesome it was. I can not wait to pick up issue one in the fall.
- Legion of Doom: FlashPoint #1
- Grodd of War: FlashPoint #1
- DeadMan and the Flying Graysons: FlashPoint #1
- Wonder Woman and the Furies: FlashPoint #1
- Lois Lane and the Resistance: FlashPoint #1
- The Outsider: FlashPoint #1
- Kid Flash Lost: FalshPoint #1
- Reverse Flash: FlashPoint #1
All I can say about these and the FlashPoint series is if you are not reading it you need to. It is so crazy creative and everything you thought you knew is no more. I can't really say much else without ruining what is going on. But if you wanna chat about it I am more then happy to cause things is crazy. Plus the writing and art work are amazing.
- Action Comics: Reign of the DOOMSDAYS #902
- Green Arrow #13
Hands down one of my favorite comic book superheroes and this series has been doing him justice. Im excited to keep reading simple as that.
Alright well that concludes this weeks and last weeks comic book pick ups. Any questions or comments feel free to post and strike up conversation.
