New Comics

Okay.

This is something that I am going to to try to do from now on.

These are the books that I plan to buy. My comics shop is a little on the crappy side, so I may not not be able to get everything.

And I do have a pull list, but a senior citizen is doing the pull lists. And she doesn't know anything about comics. She's kind of like Dominic.

Not much from DC this week. (Yes, I buy DC comics. I do not sit in an ivory tower and judge things like some people.)

SUPERMAN #221 (I recently started reading the Superman books. I plan to drop them at a moment's notice)
SUPERMAN/SHAZAM: FIRST THUNDER #1 (OF 4) (Shazam! is one of my favorite characters. Blow me)
VILLAINS UNITED #5 (OF 6) (Much more than it should have been. Who knew Catman wasn't such a tool?)

Now, the Marvel books. Not much from them either.

Fantastic Four: House Of M #3 (This has been a lot better than expected from past crossovers)
Ghost Rider 1 (ribic #1 (It's written by Garth Ennis. I have to give it a look at least. Yes, I know. It's Ghost Rider. I have no idea what ribic means)
Iron Man: House Of M #3 (Another crossover book well writen. Artwork is crap though.)
Supreme Power: Nighthawk #1 (I like Squadron Supreme. Sue me)
Ultimate Fantastic Four Annual # (I prefer Mark Millar to Warren Ellis. And even though Greg Land swipes from magazines, his art is still nice to look at)
Ultimate Spider-man #82 (The best Spider-book. Period.)
X-men: Colossus Bloodline #1 (My nephew likes Colossus. Sue him.)

It's my intention to post some reviews eventually. I read alot of comics and there is no way that I can review them all. But I will try to mention some that you should check out or avoid like the plague.

"Shazam! is one of my favorite characters. Blow me."

Why so defensive? He's a gret character. That old wizard who sits in the Rock of Eternity, that nice old wizard sitting in the rock of eternity, granting power to Billy Batson, Mary Batson, Freddy Freeman and Teth/Theo Adam.
It's Captain Marvel, Dude! one geek bitchslap for you! *smek*

I plan to check out Ghost Rider as well - I loved his run on Hellblazer, althogh I felt Preacher got a bit over the top.

I'll probably pick up the Ultimate FF annual just on the strength of the Ultimate Spiderman annual - Peter and Kitty dating is the coolest idea I've seen in a while, and it BETTER carry over to the monthly!
Curious to see your reviews.

stay groovy.

It was a joke.

I'm supposed to be the Marvel guy in this theatre of the ridiculous.

Oh yeah.

We really shouldn't call him Captain Marvel.

After all, that name is trademarked by your pals at Marvel.

Fuck you.

"Not much from DC this week. (Yes, I buy DC comics. I do not sit in an ivory tower and judge things like some people.)"

Double fuck you!

And using the name Shazam wasn't a joke, you fucked up. So fuck you thrice.

Wow...

The trifecta...

But I never said saying Shazam was a joke. The 'blow me' part was the joke.

So I am afraid you'll have to take one of those back.

Tell you what... you can go ahead and keep the extra FU. I'm sure you'll need it later.

Regarding Ghost Rider #1 - SPOLERS

Well written, looks like it might be a good story, but...

Was Garth Ennis raped by a priest or something?

ANOTHER story with morally corrupt angels?

geeze!

Bill, dude,

where are these reviews? I know reading comics makes you blind but if you're so close to the page it's taking you this long to read them, well heck - get outside, dude.

I didn't say when I was going to post them. I left that part out.

I'm working two jobs, dude.

I need a little more time.

That's all I'm asking.

alright - the 2 jobs thing buys you time.

2 jobs? geeze. You should pay your Colossus-loving nephew to read 'em TO you!

stay groovy.
