Yesterday’s review of Black Dynamite: Slave Island turned into our biggest day ever. Thank you and welcome to all the Black Dynamite Facebook page and StumbleUpon users. Some other pages you may enjoy while you’re here:
- My look at Black Dynamite, the film
- Matt explores what happened to Golden Age Aquaman
- I pontificate on cover prices and how much is too much
- As a public service, we list Jewish superheroes before they changed their names
But now’s the time in our show when I take a look at this week’s releases and narrow them down to the books I think are noteworthy. It’s a very Marvel-centric week this time around.
- ADV OF DR MCNINJA TP VOL 01 NIGHT POWERS - Chris Sims has been talking up this book for quite a while, and Christopher Hasting’s War Rocket Ajax appearance has convinced me to pick this one up.
- AVENGERS #13
- BATMAN #710
- HERC #3 - Wasn’t Herc #2 released just two weeks ago? Curious…
- HEROES FOR HIRE #7 - Ditto for the last issue of H4H. If Marvel’s new publishing strategy is putting out their best books more frequently, I’m on board with it.
- HULK #33 - I’ve never been a huge Hulk fan, but I AM a big Jeff Parker and Gabriel Hardman fan, so I’m trying to get caught up here. Just trying to pick up a few more issues so I can get completely up to speed.
- ROCKETEER #1 100 PENNY PRESS - I’ve never read Dave Stevens’ most famous work, though I’ve heard great things about it, especially this new collection, so I’m excited to get a taste before plunking down the $20.
- THUNDERBOLTS #157
- UNCANNY X-FORCE #10
Speaking of up to speed, I caught a huge sale and am now current (or, mostly current) with Chris Roberson’s Superman, Thunderbolts, and Jason Aaron’s Wolverine. Expect reviews of three month-old comics later in the week.
Because of said sale, my 2011 running pull list is looking a lot more complete. Check it out, and expect a rundown soon.
That’s it for me. What are YOU looking at?
