New Comics Day 8/24/11
Grabbed on of DC's "Retroactive" books. In this case a 90s Justice League of America. 'Cause Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatties and Kevin Maguire. Though reading it again reminds me how much I fucking ended up hating both Identity Crisis and then Max's heel turn in the prequel to "Infinite Crisis". Plus I can look at both the retro story and the reprint of JLA #^ and wonder, who here is still alive. Or still alive pre-reboot. Oh well, still get some Giffen and Maguire Justice League here...
Next up is the finale for this second volume of Xombi. Nice ending, especially with how things play out for the main bad guy. I'm not sure if this is the last issue or if it will be back several months down the road. I've heard conflicting stories, but man do I hope its the later. If for no other reason then because Frazier Irving draws the hell out of the supernatural weirdness...
Third issue of the new volume of Dark Horse Presents. And some decent stories, like the Chaykin crime-noir one or the new "Concrete" shorts. But mostly I'm paying 8 bucks for these for the eight pages of color Finder from Carla Speed McNeil...
And thanks to Samurai adding Atomic's Diamond shipment to their own this week, didn't have any problems getting an issue of Dungeons & Dragons. With the book's band of adventurer's pulling a great bluff to get close to the magic McGuffin. Not to surprising for the writer of Leverage of course...
And finally more Knights of the Dinner Table. The UT +2 travel along in Bagworld, trapped in a slave cart. With a reveal of surprising call-back NPC foe. Plus Nitro's plans for running the PeeWee Hackmaster kids. And a brief look at one of the game sessions for Patty's group. Oh and the usual assortment of one-off strips, game supplements and other articles...
