The Deep Dish...
- NOV070194 ACTION COMICS #861 $2.99I think when it comes to the Legion of Superheroes you either love them, or absolutely hate them. Of the two, I've always erred on the latter, so it's taken a while for me to really decide how I feel about this arc. The ever-competent Geoff Johns says he wants to do for Superman what he did for the Green Lantern. I'm still not entirely convinced, but after the crawl of his Donner collaboration, it's no mean feat to garner any interest by the fourth part of a Legion story!
- NOV072136 AVENGERS INITIATIVE #9 $2.99
From start to finish I have not been able to decide whether I care, or not.
Sounds like some great concepts, but the question of whether the glue is there to hold it together has kept it off my list purely by priority. Despite being utterly obnoxious during a recent Fanboy Radio interview, Dan Slott's probably brought me back around to wanting to have a taste.
[That interview will come up again in the Feb Punch-Up, so give it a listen!]
- NOV070187 BATMAN #673 $2.99
Grant Morrison does the unthinkable, and brings the Batman back from a painful crossover that effectively put the nail in the coffin of a character I couldn't get enough of three or four years ago. The Scot's run continues to be a subject of contention, but this issue, which explores early themes in Batman's career (while the Dark Knight lies in a near-death coma) looks interesting!
- NOV070180 BLACK ADAM THE DARK AGE #6 (OF 6) $2.99
Haven't yet read it, but want to very much!
He was our 2007 sponsored MVP, and I really hope the conclusion of this series can mark some sort of return to the DCU for Black Adam. Sure, there were glimpses in Countdown, but I really want something substantial now that the internal journey is supposedly over.
- NOV072137 CAPTAIN AMERICA #34 $2.99
Even if you buy into our 'Lazy Brubaker Syndrome' theory, you have to agree that that comes with high points. If ever there was a time to buy Captain America, it was probably number twenty-five, but if you don't have a time machine, now is the time! Bucky steps up to the Cap mantle, and presumably we get to see some [attention retaining] stuff happen!
- NOV070206 GREEN LANTERN #27 $2.99
It's nice not to have a meaningless lull post-Sinestro Corps War, but one can't help but wonder if some recovery time might've been nice. We've already talked about the potential to overdo it with the Corps concept [hah!], but I at least applaud the fact that Johns isn't wasting any time or space with GL! Apparently this ties in to the lead up to
Final Crisis. Let's hope that prophecy/end of the current universe leaves us with prophetic egg on our infinite face.- NOV072154 MARVEL ADVENTURES FANTASTIC FOUR #32 $2.99
I'm no Western fan, but... Wild West Ben Grimm?
The kid-friendly Adventures line continues to demand attention!
- NOV072166 NEW AVENGERS ANNUAL #2 $3.99
Poor Tigra. Poor, poor Tigra.
- NOV072178 WHAT IF SPIDER-MAN VS WOLVERINE $2.99
An alternate universe tale where the late eighties clash between Wolverine and Spider-man ends with Peter Parker's death? Friend, to me, he's already dead. Spider-Boycott: 2008!
