DC COMICS

1. BIRDS OF PREY BLOOD AND CIRCUITS TP $17.99
2. BLACK CANARY #3 (OF 4) $2.99 - a fun miniseries that more people should be buying.

MARVEL COMICS

3. MS MARVEL #18 $2.99 - see above.
4. NEW AVENGERS ILLUMINATI #4 (OF 5) $2.99 - another fun miniseries, but with Jim Cheung's usual timeliness issues. All the same, I can't wait for the "brides of the Illuminati" to show up.
5. THOR #2 $2.99 - the first issue was solid, and I'll be interested to see what happens next.
6. UNCANNY X-MEN #489 $2.99 - the arc has been chugging along fine so far, but hopefully there'll be a bit of real advancement here.
7. WISDOM RUDIMENTS OF WISDOM TP $21.99
8. WORLD WAR HULK #3 (OF 5) WWH $3.99 - Hulk vs. Strange is going to be a tough victory for the writers to give to the Hulk.

Holy crap, what a week. Of course, all the comics are sure to be good, but expensive. This all seemed so innocuous when I picked up that first issue of Astonishing X-Men three years ago.

Decent.

 

[Dread]

DETECTIVE COMICS #835 (If it is an issue written by Dini)
FANTASTIC FOUR #548
IRREDEEMABLE ANT-MAN #11 (a dead book walking, and damn, I will miss it!)
NEW AVENGERS: ILLUMINATI #4
NEW WARRIORS #3
SPIDER-MAN & THE FANTASTIC FOUR #4
WORLD WAR HULK #3 (HOW!? The 2nd issue would have just come out 2 weeks prior, right?)

CONSIDERING:
THOR #2

Looks like a decent week. If WWH #3 is indeed coming out under 4 weeks since the last issue, Romita Jr. can continue his reign as not only carving out of his father's shadow, but taking the role as a modern day Jack Kirby. Unless, of course, this merely means future issues may be late. Yeah, I am cynical. More ANT-MAN and NEW WARRIORS is solid, ILLUMINATI is among the best things Bendis writes (helped that Reed co-writes it). Plus, the week isn't a wallet buster by any means, even with a $4 WWH issue.

DETECTIVE COMICS #835 $2.99
SCALPED #8 (MR) $2.99-More of you should be reading this book.Seriously buy the trade then catch up on current issues.

UNCANNY X-MEN #489 $2.99

My understanding is that Romita is by now pretty far ahead, and the scheduling of the titles is determined by managing the tie-ins (especially the miniseries).

JSA #8
WWH #3 (A summer event book being released just 2 weeks after the previous issue?)

One of the best parts of WWH thus far is how they've been handling the tie-ins. A significant improvement over Civil War.

From the few tie-ins that I actually have been reading, I agree.

I'm not the only one picking up Battlin' Jack Murdock? Nice.

No, I've been enjoying it quite muchly.

"Quite muchly"?

Sometimes I feel like making adverbs out of words that have no business being adverbial.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Stop trying to hide your poor grammar.
