I just finished placing my comic book order for the past three weeks, which means by sometime early next week I'll be a little bit more up to date on what's happening in the comic book universe. What did I pick up? I'm glad you asked! Here's a rundown of the books I should be reading soon.
Siege #1- I'm cautiously optimistic that BENDIS will be able to pull a good story out of this x-over. Is that asking for a bit much? Maybe, but as they say, hope springs eternal.
Siege Embedded #1- This is some kind of Siege tie-in, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Why not?
Nation X: X-Factor #1- The only reason I even bothered to pick this up is because it's written by Peter David. If it was any other writer, I'd have skipped it. I HATE the Nation X idea.
Blackest Night Wonder Woman #2- I collect every single Blackest Night x-over, it's what I do, so that should explain this comic.
JSA All-Stars #2- I still haven't read JSA All-Stars #1 yet, but I'm willing to buy this issue with the hope that it's nearly as good as the current JSA series.
Suicide Squad #67- This is another Blackest Night x-over issue.
Superman: World of New Krypton #11- With the Man of Steel no longer appearing in Action Comics and Superman, this is the only book I can read about the new adventures of Supes.
Weird Western Tales #71- Like BN WW and Suicide Squad, this is another Blackest Night x-over issue.
Well, there you have it, that's my pull list for the week of January 6. Am I missing anything I should be picking up? If you think so, drop me a comment. If not, then Long Live The Legion!
Hm...did you already order Blackest Night issue 6? and BN WW 2 drops tomorrow as well.
ReplyDeleteYep, Blackest Night #6 is in this order, but since it came out last week, I didn't bother to include it in this post. Oh, and I actually meant to put BN WW #2, not #1! Whoops! Anyway, that's actually what I meant, BN WW #2... I'm going to have to give that a quick edit!
ReplyDeleteAhh awesome, I can;t wait to see your thoughts on BN 6. I also grabbed BN WW 2 today but I haven't given it a read yet. I'll probably check it out tomorrow, I was too busy playing Modern Warfare today. X_X
ReplyDeleteMy CB shop shipped out my order today(Thursday), so there's an outside chance I'll have my books by Saturday. If not Sat, then def by Monday, and BN #6 WILL be the first thing I read hands down!
ReplyDeleteSweetness, I don't think you'll be disappointed. I can't say that about WW BN 2 though.....lol.
ReplyDeleteHa, I just finished BN WW #1, and I wasn't all that impressed, so I kind of doubt #2 will change my mind much!
ReplyDeleteOh man..if thats the case I'm sure you are gonna HATE BN WW 2...whoo that was a stinker.
ReplyDeleteUgh, I can see BN WW #2 will be near the bottom of the pile!
ReplyDeleteYeah...I don't blame you. From the lack of review I see you haven't gotten to BN 6 yet :P
ReplyDeleteNah, not yet... Hopefully(fingers crossed)tomorrow will be the day.
ReplyDelete*Crosses Fingers* Wooo Tomorrow is only a day away. But nah seriously I hope you enjoy it. I may re-read it actually.
ReplyDeleteARGH!!! My CB package didn't arrive today... >:-(
ReplyDeleteThat should mean that it will definitely arrive tomorrow, but who knows! Blasted post office!!!
argh!!! I know we better not get a repeat of the missing comic book package!!
ReplyDeleteThankfully, as I'm sure you can see by what I've posted tonight, that wasn't the case!
ReplyDeleteI see...a 7.5 eh...Well if that got a 7.5 I'm looking forward to the negative rating you give BN WW 2...lol
ReplyDeleteHa, you might be surprised at my score for BN WW #2! Out of curiousity, what would you score both issues?
ReplyDeleteHm...I'd probably give BN 6 an 8 because of the ring swerve, Ganthet becoming a Green Lantern...but thats only a .5 more than you. BN WW 2 would get a 0 from me I hated everything about it.
ReplyDeleteReally? It was a dream?! Dashed my hopes when Cassie got killed but I KNEW that was fake then the thing with Donna then Bruce showed up? Wonder Woman hardly shows any interest in Bruce now she just loves him? Really? She can control her black lantern-ness but Supes cant with all that will power and stuff we've seen in him during BN Superman?
You should devote a post on your blog to just BASHING BN WW #2! That would be fun to read! Yeah, the thing with Bruce def boggled my mind... I always saw WW more with Supes then with Bruce. *shrugs* Maybe that was just me though.
ReplyDeleteI was actually really relieved when Cassie wasn't actually killed. See, If Cassie would have died THAT easily, THEN I'd have been really pissed! As it was, I didn't care for this comic one way or another. Once we're done talking about it, I'll prob forget I ever read it.
Lol, I may make that post just we can can never forget that travesty. That's the second Greg Rucka thing that I just completely hated...
ReplyDeleteWell, you can't just leave me hanging! What was the first?
ReplyDeleteWonder Woman The Hiketeia. Dear God I hated that SO much...Man I swear it's one of if not the most hated comic I;ve ever read. Matter of fact here's my old review from it.
