The Deep Dish...
- SEP080134 ACTION COMICS #871 NEW KRYPTON $2.99
The nature versus nurture debate explodes as Geoff Johns' New Krypton unleashes a population of Kryptonians into human society. Apparently the trusting populous of Metropolis thinks they've won themselves an army of super-protectors, but can the unbreakable morals of Superman really be expected to apply to an entire people? The secret history of Superman's Kansas upbringing plays a vital role while the legacy of a previous storyarc sees a secret sect developing an army of soldiers from a defeated Brainiac!

- SEP082315 AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #577 $3.99
Dripping with nostalgia; the Punisher hits the pages of Amazing Spider-man as Brand New Day continues to unravel! Admittedly, vaguely reminiscent of the late eighties and early nineties, this team-up brings back fond memories of Erik Larsen's time on the title, and actually arouses my interests! Hammerhead might've been an obvious target for the one-man war on crime, but what's Moses Magnum got cooked up for skull-shirt and Spidey? Amazing couldn't have picked a better time to get interesting! With the New Year approaching, it might be time to make ammends and put an official end to the 2008 Spider-Boycott, even if we still have no money. Let the cheap War Zone movie tie-ins begin!

- SEP080121 BATMAN CACOPHONY #1 (OF 3) $3.99
Super-fanboy and cinematic writer/director, Kevin Smith, returns to the print medium for a brand new story! This three issue mini-series, which we'd like to think is already written and drawn, brings back Smith's Green Arrow creation, Onomatopoeia. The villain who imitates sound will take his penchant for hunting non-powered heroes to Gotham where he'll clash with the grandaddy of them all -- the Dark Knight! Nothing is that clear cut in Gotham, however, as the Joker emerges in yet another post-movie series!

- SEP080126 DETECTIVE COMICS #850 RIP (NOTE PRICE) $3.99
Paul Dini's self-imposed master class concludes as Heart of Hush promises a final instalment that will reveal a crucial secret about Thomas Elliot. I'm not really one to jump onto the Loeb bagging bandwagon, but Dini really does seem to be doing the writers job in a modern medium that demands certain development in it's creations. Dini tacks on new context to the character while also picking up lingering threads of the relationship between Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle. Oh, if only we could believe it would last!

- SEP080162 JSA KINGDOM COME SPECIAL SUPERMAN #1 $3.99
Alex Ross returns to the Kingdom Come universe for the first time as both writer and artist, picking up interdimensional threads initiated by Geoff Johns in Justice Society America. Superman of Earth-22 comes face-to-face with his Earth-1 counterpart and grapples with the meaning of his existence and the curse that seems to have followed him from his doomed home. How many planetary tragedies can one man suffer, even a Superman?

- SEP080186 LEGION OF SUPER HEROES IN THE 31ST CENTURY #20 $2.25
Apparently it's the series end, which is a shame, because for the first time it actually has my attention! Metallo has travelled to the future to seek out a deposit of Kryptonite that can power his robotic cells! In doing so he threatens to destroy the Man of Steel and in doing so completely change the future-history of the Legion of Superheroes! Always a series compacted firmly into a niche, it's nice to see familiar names, like Metallo and Supes, offering a friendly and welcoming face in the crowd of the thirty-first century!

- SEP080127 NIGHTWING #150 RIP (NOTE PRICE) $3.99
Believing Nightwing responsible for the death of a former love; Harvey Dent has hatched a vengeful scheme to scar the faces of New York City's population in reataliation! With the Batman nowhere to be found in this RIP tie-in, Nightwing is forced to clash with the Dark Knight's most personal foe in solo combat. Nightwing will be cancelled in a few issues, so it will be very interesting to see how these final chapters develop the future for the character. Batman's post-RIP status remains unknown, but it's not just the caped crusader's fate that seems uncertain!

- JUL082209 SAVAGE DRAGON #140 $3.50
Fans keen to investigate the founding Image heroes, but intimidated by a world alien and foreign should jump in here. Generally I don't like to pander to this kind of backwards thinking, but with a collective that includes Savage Dragon, Spawn, Witchblade, Invincible and Shadowhawk, now is the time to acknowledge it! Superhero superfun!
