Comics I've Read From July 11, 2007

This week I enjoyed a couple of my old favorites. Fables continues to entertain me. The development of the Fly's character Ambrose is a great twist. Bill Willingham always entertains me. I'm planning on diving into Shadowpact thanks to customer recommendations. BPRD Garden of Souls ended this week also, nice and creepy. Not what I expected for Abe's background, how about you? World War Hulk Gamma Corps confused me somewhat. Has Ryker developed a Hulk serum? Who's the other Hulk-like dude? I finished The Walking Dead V. 3. The people are dropping like flies! Where will they go now?

Comics I've Read From July 5, 2007

There are so many great books to read again this week! This is so unusual for me. In the past, I usually have only one week a month where I'm reading multiple issues. Summertime and the comics are stupendous. World War Hulk is still entertaining me immensely with the Irredeemable Ant-Man tie-in. Now, we know that Hulk really needs to eat a more balanced diet! Runaways #27 continues the great early 1900's thread. It seemed very realistic (i.e. Typhoid Mary headline). Joss Whedon has seamlessly taken over where Brian Vaughan left off. Speaking of Brian K. Vaughan, how is he going to wrap up Y The Last Man in just three issues? I've promised myself that I will read to the end even though I'm distressed to see it end. When Starman was going to end, I had a tantrum and didn't read the last issues. Big mistake! Dark Tower #6 continues to be true to Stephen King's series with its stark grisliness. Now on to Robert Kirkman, I enjoyed The Astounding Wolf-Man #2 (#1 came out on Free Comic Book Day-we still have copies if you need one). It's a fun and imaginative read; although, what a change in voice from The Walking Dead. Yes, I've soaked in 2 volumes and can't wait to read the next. No character is safe, and the matter-of-fact harshness is appealing.

Comics I've Read From June 27, 2007

What a great summer so far for comics! World War Hulk is so much fun! With Civil War, I grew terribly tired of Iron Man. Now, Hulk has had enough of him, and he has help. I love how Amadeus Cho and She Hulk are siding with Hulk. World War Hulk Frontline was even more enjoyable than Civil War Frontline. The civilians were mingling with the aliens and having a good time. Last week, I also read Hellboy Darkness Calls #2 (yeah, Mike Mignola!), Jack of Fables (you bad boy!), and Spider-Man Fairy Tales (gorgeous art by Pride of Baghdad artist-Niko Henrichon). Following the recommendation of several customers, I have started to read Walking Dead V. 1. Wow!
