New Comic Day! March 16th Edition.

Hello X-Maniacs!!! It's time for my one and only weekly feature, New Comic Day! I have been absolutely buried under a veritable mountain of schoolwork, so it's nice to emerge out from under that mountain for some good old comic related fun. I am counting the days, hours, minutes and seconds until I go on spring break, because I plan on doing NOTHING but reading comic books and playing video games, while forgetting ALL about school! Irresponsible? Yeah, I guess so... Fun? Hell yeah! But I'm sure you're not here to read about my sadist professors and their evil mind games. No, you're here to find out what I picked up at Ye Olde Comic Shop earlier today! Before I get to the books I picked up this week, I first have to go over last week's books. Last week's Pick of the Litter was Hawkeye: Blindspot #2, which was AWESOME! However, I haven't been able to find the time to review it yet... But trust me, it was great! Last week's runt was Outsiders #37, which wasn't that bad, although once again, I wasn't able to type a review for it up yet... But I will... Someday...

So that takes care of last week, let us now shift our attention to this week. First things first, these are the subscription comics I'll be getting through the mail: Batman #708(UGH!!), REBELS #26, Red Robin #21, Superman #709 and X-Factor #217. Any week both Red Robin and the soon to be canceled REBELS(I hate you, Dan Didio!!!) are both released HAS to be considered a good week! But I've yet to get those books in my hands. Here are the comics I actually DO have in my hands: Brightest Day #22, Amazing Spider-Man #656, Avengers Academy #11, Generation Hope #5, Iron Man #502, Iron Man 2.0 #2, Thunderbolts #155, X-Force #5.1, Avengers: Children's Crusade: Young Avengers #1(!!!!!!), Captain America and Crossbones #1, Fear Itself Prologue #1(!!!!!!), and Uncanny X-Men Annual #3... Good GOD are there some AWESOME comic books sitting in front of me right now! I am literally 3 seconds away from a full-fledged geekgasm! I honestly don't know what comic deserves to be this week's Pick of the Litter... I mean, Children's Crusade has been INCREDIBLE, while I'm dying to read the Fear Itself Prologue... Hmm, how to solve this dilemma... Ah, I know! For the first time EVER, I have two Pick of the Litter books, because there's NO way I can possibly choose between Avengers: The Children's Crusade: Young Avengers #1 and the Fear Itself Prologue #1. They should both be amazing. On the other hand, this week's Runt is a no-brainer! That honor goes to the ONLY DC comic book I bothered to pick up today, Brightest Day #22. I know it's going to be horrible, it's just a matter of how horrible. Wow, so I picked up 11 Marvel books and just ONE DC book, and I already know I'm going to hate the DC comic... Good going, DC. You are rapidly losing a fan. But hey, as I always say, DC's loss is Marvel's gain, as I continue to gladly hand my money over to the House of Ideas. That should just about wrap things up for me, I have a TON of reviewing I have to get to from last week before I can start reading this week's books. Hopefully I'll have a couple of reviews up tomorrow, but no promises. Here's the Random Scan of the Week, and until next time, X out.
