Let’s see what’s showing up at the comic shop today… hmmm… (click for previews via Mile High Comics)
Losers #15, Mystique #18, Noble Causes #1, Sleeper Season Two #3, We 3 #1 (Of 3), Wonder Woman #207, X-Statix #26… not bad, all in all. Oh, and Love Fights #12, which neither of the shops in town carries.
This would be the point where I’d try and satirize script samples sure to be included in Avengers #500 Directors Cut, but I’m a very lazy person when you get right down to it.
In the land of Crossoveria, Catwoman #34 wades into War Games, and Flash #213 experiences an Identity Crisis.
I don’t usually get too deep into the business end of comics, but I always enjoy reading the sales analysis at the Pulse. July figures are up for DC (by Marc-Oliver Frisch) and Marvel (by Paul O’Brien). On Frisch’s blog, he’s posted his Selector for the week. On the X-Axis, O’Brien has survived the experience of reviewing eight X-books in a single week.
Tom the Dog likes the new N cartoon, O’Grady. I do, too. And he’s saved me the trouble of saying why I like it by summarizing it so nicely.
Mike Sterling has stripped away the cheerful, all-ages facade of Harvey Comics at Progressive Ruin. As if Baby Huey wasn’t disturbing enough.
And, look, they’re collecting American Flagg! (story at Newsarama). This was the first comic I ever picked up that wasn’t published by Marvel or DC (or Archie or Harvey), and I really liked it. Social satire, science fiction, and the most impractical lingerie I’d ever seen. (Does it count as lingerie if it’s commonly worn to work?)
