Yay! I get to do a shopping list that has a healthy dose of “please buy this book because if you don’t they’ll cancel it and I’ll cry” thrown in the mix:
Fallen Angel #14 starts a new story arc after two stand-alone issues. This would be a good time to jump on, I’m guessing. From everything I’ve heard, DC has no idea how to market this interesting title (or much desire). That’s too bad, as it’s got a lot going for it. My favorite aspect, I think, is the sense of place that Peter David gives his fictional setting.
She-Hulk #6 arrives with a prison full of deadly, shrunken super-villains! (I think.) Deadly, shrunken super-villains, people! Buy it! It’s fun! Can’t you tell from all the exclamation points?! (Or do they just look desperate?)
Those are the on-the-cusp books I pick up, but I also note that there are some other “praised to the skies/selling in the dumps” titles on deck that you might take a look at: Fraction #5, Plastic Man #9, and Touch #5.
Other things I’m eagerly anticipating:
Astro City Special
Birds of Prey #72
Ex Machina #3
Hm… guess that’s it. It’s not everything I’ll be buying, but it’s everything I’m excited about. I’m on the fence about DC’s new Manhunter title. I can’t get worked up over Supreme Power #12 after the glacially paced tit-fest that was #11 (a feeling that’s spilled over into the Doctor Spectrum spin-off).
Maybe there’ll be some fun manga out. I could use something mindless and gleeful.
