I know these weekly lists can get a little tedious, so to spice things up, I’ve decided to give it a perky 80s-pop soundtrack, fold together some footage of me picking up comics with exaggerated expressions of delight, confusion, and disgust, building to a quick-cuts segment of various critical shopping moments, and ending with me collapsing on a sofa, exhausted but exhilarated, ready to partake of a product-placed beverage and go through my purchases.
Okay, maybe not. But I thought about it. Here’s what I’ll be buying…
- Birds of Prey 82
- Ex Machina 11
- JLA Classified 7
- Livewires 4
- Manhunter 10
- Spider-Man/Human Torch 4
- Young Avengers 4
And I’ll give Hero Camp 1 a look, just because the premise sounds kind of fun and the shop is likely to have pre-ordered extra copies of something from Image.
Morbid curiosity will probably demand that I flip through the second volume of Tenjho Tenge. But I’m guessing that virtually every panel will probably hit the web soon, adjacent to the untranslated original. Why shell out the cash?
Oh, and for those of you who were wondering what was next for dead, gay Northstar, here’s a preview of Wolverine 28. Insert “better off dead” joke here.
