- DEC070197 BOOSTER GOLD #0 $2.99Booster Gold is doing his darndest to ensure the safety of his best pal, Blue Beetle. We talked a bit about Geoff Johns and his rules of time travel as they were established in JSA [JSA #65]! If you're lucky, you might find some insights into one of the zaniest series on shelves today!
- DEC072181 FANTASTIC FOUR #554 $2.99
Despite the absolutely hideous Bryan Hitch artwork on the cover, I'm still looking forward to this. Perhaps naively, I'm not quite sure what to expect from Mark Millar. We've seen the Scot tackle Marvel's first family in UFF, Wolverine, and Civil War, but I would expect something a little more traditional from his work on the core title. Should be very interesting to see how things unfold for Millar in 2008, with a lot of things on the way!
- DEC072093 JACK STAFF #14 $3.50
Turn this into one big fat checklist for reviews done earlier in the month? Hey! Why not? Jack Staff now promises to be a consistently monthly release from Image Comics, helping elevate the character up the totem pole of iconic heroes coming from the industrious print.Still not sure about easing into the Staff fold? If you rummage through our review [Jack Staff #1], you might just find a perfectly legal way to read a couple of issues for free!
- DEC072194 MARVEL ADVENTURES HULK #8 $2.99
Someone needs to tell me what the hell is going on here! We've been following the Adventures book in the shipping lists for the past couple of months, and the Hulk certainly promises more than most Marvel books. Of course, being on the arse end of poor, I haven't actually had a chance to read it, but you can be sure it'll be on my catch-up list with promise of Dr. Strange, Silver Surfer, and Namor -- aka; Defenders classic!
- DEC072212 PUNISHER WAR JOURNAL #16 $2.99
An Alex Maleev cover is a dirty tease for a book with less than thrilling interiors by Howard Chaykin. The gritty urban stylings of Alex Maleev, which have been all too scarce since he wrapped up his tenure on Daredevil, are exactly the kind of style we'd love to see on Punisher! Well, I guess it doesn't hurt that this issue follows up the now classic bar wake, where Frank Castle blew up a good many villains, including - dramatic pause - The Gibbon!
- DEC072169 SPIDER-MAN FAMILY #7 $4.99
If you somehow missed the banner, the Spider-Boycott is still in full swing.
Even so, we have to at least point to this, the best Spider-title being printed the past few years, because it's everything a fan needs. For all intents it sounds like BND is suitably bland, but Spider-Man Family delivers everything the reboot hasn't, without any of the baggage!
At $4.99 and over 100 pages, this is still perhaps the best value book on the shelves, even if it's attached to the stigma of the worst mainstream story in decades!
