New Comics Backlog
So I had a tough couple of weeks recently here at Superheroics where I couldn't post. It looks like everything is back to normal so I figured I would post the last two weeks of purchases.
10/12/05
100 BULLETS #65 (MR)
ACTION COMICS #832 - Since Byrne and SSimone are leaving I will be dropping this until after
Infinite Crisis is over.
GREEN LANTERN REBIRTH HC - I loved the mini-series.
INFINITE CRISIS #1 (OF 7) - I thought this was an ok first isssue. The ending was a welcome
surprise which helped bridge the original Crisis mini to this one.
JLA #120 - Not bad. I always liked Bob Harras' scripts for the most part.
VILLAINS UNITED #6 (OF 6)
EXILES #71 - Being bi-weekly I felt that the art on this issue was a little rushed.
FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN #1 - Peter David back on Spider-Man. I didn't really like the
new villain Tracer.
HOUSE OF M #7 (OF 8) - "No more mutants."
ULTIMATE X-MEN #64
WOLVERINE #34
10/19/05
CAPTAIN ATOM ARMAGEDDON #1 (OF 9)
GREEN LANTERN CORPS RECHARGE #2 (OF 6)
JUSTICE #2 (OF 12) - I'm liking this so far. Too bad it bi-monthly. I'm tempted to drop the
title and just wait for the trade.
SUPERMAN #222 - I like Ed Benes art but the Mark Verhieden scripts do no translate well. This,
and all the other Superman titles are being dropped until after Infinite Crisis.
MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #19 - Ugh. How is Pat Lee getting art assignments. He's awful.
SHE-HULK 2 #1 - I had bought all the Paul Pelletier drawn issues of the last series and I like Dan Slott's scripts so I picked this up.
SUPREME POWER HYPERION #2 (OF 5) (MR)
ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR #24
ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #84 - Peter Milligan is just a bad fit for X-Men. They need to replace him as writer ASAFP.
X-MEN #176

New Comics for 10/05/2005
New week! New books!
BLOOD OF THE DEMON #8 - May skip this one. I thought it had potential but I find myself losing interest in it. Mostly it's the writing by Will Pfeifer. It's not clicking with me.
DC SPECIAL THE RETURN OF DONNA TROY #4 (OF 4) - Finally! Good Garcia-Lopez/Perez art found here!
JSA #78
OUTSIDERS #29
RANN THANAGAR WAR #6 (OF 6) - This has turned into a little disappointment. Hoping to get a nice ending though.
SUPERMAN SHAZAM FIRST THUNDER #2 (OF 4)
WATCHMEN THE ABSOLUTE EDITION HC - This is one of those I really want to buy. But at $75 I may have to skip. But it's an oversized, recolored edition of one of the best comics ever produced. I do have a $50 gift certificate to Fourth World Comics so I may just have to pick it up.
WONDER WOMAN #221 - I must confess I only buy this for Michelle. I read it though. Meh. Greg Rucka just doesn't do it for me.
INCREDIBLE HULK #87 - Final Peter David issue with Adam Kubert on pencils.
POWERS #13 (MR)
SUPREME POWER NIGHTHAWK #2 (OF 6) (MR) - Steve Dillon superheroy goodness.

Guest Webcomic
I've been known to write Webcomics on occasion. Well, last week Greg Dean of Real Life Comics was soliciting for guest strips and Keith wanted to do something.
Here is our contribution.
You really need to watch the trailer for Serenity to catch the full effect.

New Comics 09/08/2005
New comics are a day late this week due to the Memorial Day Holiday. Here's my list.
SERENITY #3 (OF 3) - This series bridges the gap between the ending of the Firefly series and Serenity (opening 9/30!)
BLOOD OF THE DEMON #7
OUTSIDERS #28
SHAZAM SUPERMAN FIRST THUNDER #1 (OF 4)
SUPERMAN #221
VILLAINS UNITED #5 (OF 6)
PVP #18
EXILES #69 - YAY! Paul Pelletier takes over art duties! Pick of the Week!
FANTASTIC FOUR HOUSE OF M #3
GHOST RIDER #1 (OF 6) - Ghost Rider was one of my favorite characters when I first started collecting comics 25 years ago. This series apparently doesn't have much in common with that one but it's got Garth Ennis writing it and I'm always open to read what he writes.
HOUSE OF M #6 (OF 8)
INCREDIBLE HULK #86
SUPREME POWER NIGHTHAWK #1 (OF 5) (MR) - Steve Dillon drawing Superhero-y stuff. I'm so there.
UNCANNY X-MEN #464
X-MEN COLOSSUS BLOODLINE #1 (OF 5) - I always liked the character Colossus. I'll probably pick this one up but if it doesn't grab me with this issue I won't be picking the others up.

New Comics 08/31/2005
Here's a look at the books I'll be getting this week! Full list of available titles are here.
CATWOMAN #46 - I may not get this. I enjoy the book but I'm really looking to cut down on some titles.
FLASH #225 - This is the last Geoff Johns issue. Sad to see him go as I'm not crazy about the new writer.
GREEN LANTERN #4 - Just found out both Ethan Van Sciver and Carlos Pachecho are leaving the book. They better get someone really good to replace them or this title will be hurt tremendously. One of the Kubert brothers would be good.
JLA CLASSIFIED #11
WONDER WOMAN #220 - Another book on the cusp, but Michelle likes it so I'll probably still get it.
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #523 - This one has been really weak lately. I better see a turnaround soon or I could drop this one too.
ASTONISHING X-MEN #12 - Last Joss Whedon issue for a bit and my Pick of the Week!
CAPTAIN AMERICA #9
NEW AVENGERS #9 - Yay. Always a good read.

Jim Aparo R.I.P.
I've collected comic books for over 20 years now. I guess that's long enough to see some of my favorite comic artists I grew up with begin to pass away.
First Jack Kirby, John Buscema, Gil Kane. There are others I'm sure. Today Jim Aparo who drew most of the Batman comics I grew I reading in the late 80's and 90's. You'll be missed. Condolences to the Aparo family.

JLA CLASSIFIED #8
PRELUDE TO INFINITE CRISIS - I'm not sure what this is. I think it is a reprint of recent comics that have something to do with the upcoming Ininite Crisis books. If it is a reprint I most likely won't be buying. Plus I think its $5.99.
SEVEN SOLDIERS KLARION THE WITCH BOY #2 - I wasn't crazy about #1 so I may skip this one.
WILDSIDERZ #0 - From the creator of Danger Girl: J. Scott Campbell.
GIANT SIZE X-MEN #3 - This book is mostly reprints but it does include an original story by Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon and Legendary comic artist Neal Adams. Worth the price of admission all by itself.

EXILES #65
HOUSE OF M #1 (OF 8) - Pick of the week!
INCREDIBLE HULK #82

Wizard World Philadelphia
I will be attending Wizard World Philadelphia on Friday June 3rd.
I don't attend Comic Conventions often, I usually only hit the occasional local area (New York) shows. But we wanted to do something with Norah this week since we are on vacation so we will be bringing her to Sesame Place on Thursday so I figured I'd hit the convention one day.
I'm looking forward to maybe getting some artwork because other than that there aren't many comics I need anymore.

BIRDS OF PREY #82
GREEN LANTERN SECRET FILES 2005 - This leads into the new series, Cameron Stewart on art (which Keith should love).

New Comics 05/04/2005
So I meant to post about the new comics coming out both on Tuesday and then on Wednesday but somehow I flaked out both days and didn't do it. Good thing is I managed to read what I'd bought yesterday so here are my reviews.
BLOOD OF THE DEMON #3 - Batman vs. The Demon is a knock down drag out fight. I like this title so far. It's not great but readable for now. The art in this issue is not as strong as the first two though.
SEVEN SOLDIERS SHINING KNIGHT #2 (OF 4)
SUPERMAN #216 - I have a real problem with this whole 3 issue cross-over arc. First, it could have been told in one issue, two tops. Second, we have a deus ex machina, where not one, but two beings intervene on behalf of the heroes to defeat the villain. I'm sorry, but I like my heroes to save the day.
VILLAINS UNITED #1 (OF 6) - If villain titles are your thing then this is a book for you. Good book, nice art, nice writing.
DAY OF VENGEANCE #1 (OF 6)
GLA #2 (OF 4) - I mostly buy this because I love Paul Pelletier's art, and it's top notch. The book initially appears to be played for laughs but there is a definite dark under current to the book and I'm wondering how it will end. Plus I loved the look of the new character Grasshopper.
ROGUE #10 - Cancelled with issue 12. Too bad.
SHANNA THE SHE DEVIL #4 (OF 7) - Frank Cho draws beautifully and that by itself is worth the price of admission. Good thing because this story is going nowhere fast. If I have to read the line, "Holy Buckets!" one more time...
ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR #18

New Comics 04/20/2005
Another week and more new comics. As usual, I'll only list the books I'm most likely to pick up. Take a gander at the full shipping list here: Diamond Comics.
100 BULLETS #60 (MR) - Great book but I think it reads better in the trades. Fantastic art by Eduardo Risso.
BIRDS OF PREY #81
JLA #113 - Ugh. I thought the Kurt Busiek arc would be good.
JLA CLASSIFIED #6
OMAC PROJECT #1 (OF 6) - Don't miss this one. The build-up to Infinite Crisis continues here.
ROBIN #137 - This I may be dropping. Started picking this up after Robin's father was killed in Identity Crisis. The artwork is so bad though. Damion Scott used to a fun cartoony style. Now it looks like all his art is drawn with a Bic pen then dragged through the mud.
SUPERMAN #215 - The final Jim Lee pencilled issue.
TEEN TITANS #23 - Another Geoff Johns book. Can't wait until Ivan Reis takes over the art chores!
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #519
FANTASTIC FOUR #525 - I may skip this and the next issue. They are fill-ins until J. Michael Straczynski (Creator of Babylon 5) and Mike McKone take over.
SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN #27 - The final issue. I may pick this up only because artist Mark Buckinham has done several Calvin & Hobbes homages throughout the story. We'll see.
SPIDER-MAN BREAKOUT #1 (OF 5) - Another Tony Bedard book. Gotta buy!
ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #76
UNCANNY X-MEN #458 - Alan Davis artwork. 'Nuff said.
WOLVERINE #27 - Good stuff from writer Mark Millar. This is part of the second arc in a 12 issue run. In the first arc, Wolverine is brainwashed and takes on practically the whole Marvel Universe.
X-MEN #169 - Peter Milligan is a poor choice of a writer for this book. I'd much prefer Tony Bedard wrting with Paul Pelletier pencils!
YOUNG AVENGERS #3 - This is a good new title. Writer Allan Heinberg has a good comic "voice" and there are fun twists and plot turns already. Art by jim Cheung is great too.

New Comics 04/13/2005
Here's a look at what comics I'll be buying on Wednesday. For the full shipping list of comics go to Diamond Comics.
Wow. An even smaller week this time out.
ACTION COMICS #826 - The first of a three part crossover with Superman and The Adventures of Superman.
ADAM STRANGE #7 (OF 8) - Fun series. Reintroduces a bunch of DC's Sci-Fi based characters.
JSA #72 - Solid title. Geoff Johns writes great comics. I wish they'd get a better artist though. Don Kramer is hit or miss for me, mostly miss.
MAJESTIC #4 (MR) - Hmm. Not as enjoyable as the recent mini-series. This may be the last one I'm picking up.
NIGHTWING #107 - Picking this up because of the new art team. Gets maybe one shot to see if I pick up the next one.
EXILES #62 - Writer Tony Bedard is terrific. I try and buy everything he does.
IRON MAN #3 - Warren Ellis writes and I'm a big fan. Huge delays between issues though. I may drop it.
MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #13 - On the fence for this one. Not sure of the new creative team, Reggie Hudlin writer, Billy Tan artist. I'll probably skip it now that I think about it.
POWERS #10 (MR) - Good gritty title set in a universe where superpowers are outlawed and the main characters are Homicide detectives investigating crimes that deal with beings using those superpowers.
ULTIMATE X-MEN #58 - Writer Brain Vaughn is losing me. I hate to say it but I may be dropping this title.
ULTIMATES 2 #5 - The Avengers of the Ultimate universe. Great art and writing from Bryan Hitch and Mark Millar. Pick of the week!
