UPDATE 2: Crap, here's another one I missed:
SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #1 3.99
I wouldn't normall care about random Spider-Man books, but this one is written by Matt Fraction, with art by Salvador Larroca. I'll probably end up getting it, just to see Fraction write Spidey.

UPDATE: Shit, how did I miss this one?
SHAZAM THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL #3 (OF 4) 5.99
I loved the first two issues of this, and I really, really doubt it will go downhill at all. Jeff Smith rules!

Back to the regular post:
Hmmm, another possibly light week. Which is nice in the money-saving department.
New comics this week (Wednesday, 5/2/07):
ASHLEY WOODS D AIRAIN AVENTURE #2 4.99
I dug the first issue of this, even though it's expensive. Ashley Wood is really cool, and there were some good stories and art. I hope he keeps up the quality.
ASTONISHING X-MEN #21 2.99
Joss Whedon book #1. It seems like a long time since the last issue. The last several issues have been good, so I hope Whedon and Cassaday keep up the streak.
BLINDSPOT GN 13.95
This looks interesting. I doubt my shop will get it, but it will be one to keep an eye out for.
DARK TOWER GUNSLINGER BORN #4 (OF 7) 3.99
Same as I say every time this comes out, I'm enjoying the series, etc., etc.
HELLBOY DARKNESS CALLS #1 (OF 6) 2.99
I'll have to decide at the rack whether I want to get this. I'm way behind on Hellboy (I need to pick up the trades sometime), but I did read The Island. It's a maybe.
KORGI VOL 1 TP 10.00
This sounds cute, but I doubt it's for me. Maybe I'll get it for my wife; she loves Owly, and this seems to be quite similar.
MARVEL ILLUSTRATED LAST OF THE MOHICANS #1 (OF 6) 2.99
I'm curious about Marvel's "Classics Illustrated"-style line, but the preview of this series in the recent Jungle Book reprint didn't really grab me. I'll give this a look though.
MIDNIGHTER #7 2.99
This is the issue by Brian K. Vaughan and Darick Robertson, and it'll probably be the last one I get. Unless Ennis (or another writer I like) comes back eventually.
RUNAWAYS #26 2.99
Joss Whedon book #2. Last issue was pretty good, and I hope Whedon's run gets even better (of course).
SPIDER-MAN LOVES MARY JANE #18 2.99
More Felicia Hardy? More Firestar? More of Mary Jane being torn between two guys? More of me feeling like a teenage girl? Whatever the case, I love this book.
WARD O/T STATE #1 (OF 3) 3.50
I've been interested in the concept of this book since I saw the first solicitation. For those who don't know, it's about an orphanage in which the children are trained to be assassins. Could be crazy fun, could suck. We'll see.
-----
I think that's pretty much everything of interest. Maybe not as light a week as I thought. By the way, the third Whedon book is Buffy #3, but I don't read that one. I hope to get another review or two up tonight, so stay tuned.
Mr. Brady,
ReplyDeleteI am asking you this question because I can't find the answer anywhere and you know everything:
The Agents of Atlas hardcover. I know what it is and I know what material it contains. What I don't know is: When is it coming out??? I went to the store this weekend hoping to buy the heck out of it, and they told me it wasn't out yet! Help me, Warren Peace -- you're my only hope.
Well, it was on Diamond's shipping list last week, so supposedly that means comic stores should have it. But Amazon shows a release date of May 9, so it might not be out in bookstores until then. I have seen some mentions of it on comics blogs, so I think at least some people have managed to purchase it already, but if your shop says it's not out yet, you could always get it from Amazon or order it from a bookstore.
ReplyDeleteOh, and thanks for your confidence in me. Hope I can live up to it! ;-)
You are the man. Thanks for the info! I gotta find this book!
