New Comics Day 12/21/11
A fairly hefty pull this week, despite a few missing items thanks to Diamond. Starting with the latest Dark Horse Presents. Which includes a new Mike Mignola "Hellboy", a Stan Sakai "Usagi Yojimbo", a bit of wonderful strangeness from Brandon Graham and more from Andi Watson, Howard Chaykin and Carla Speed McNeil. Even at eight bucks an issue, this is one of the best values in Quality Pages of Story & Art for Your Dollar...
Invincible has OmniMan and Kid OmniMan and Allan the Alien throwing down over the fate of the surviving Viltrumites and Earth. Also Cory Walker still can draw some big ol' buckets of blood can't he...
Savage Dragon has an attack on New York City by the resurrected, irradiated, green, giant-size Osama Bin Laden. No seriously...
Over with Wonder Woman, Diana goes to a club to recover from the revelation about her new origin from last issue. And Hera pays a visit to Paradise Island. Plus creepy Apollo has a very Azzarello-ish conversation with his bro Ares...
I'm still not sure how I feel about Silverback, the robo-gorilla revamp of Monsier Mallah. I do kind of dig that the Scarab is a lot less under Jaime's control and more dangerous in Blue Beetle. Though that is subject to change based on how permanent the final page stabbing turns out to be...
Thunderbolts wraps up its Jack the Ripper story after mixing in some vengeful ancient Celtic witch spirits. Also I kind of want a book where Mr. Hyde and Satanna are a couple that have adopted Gunna the Troll-Girl. Say in some small midwestern suburb community...
One, the snow angel cover to the newest Daredevil is just super-sweet. And two, the story with ol' Hornhead trapped in a blizzard with a stranded school bus' worth of blind kids is crazy good...
