For two weeks worth of books, not a very big pile. Starting with the new Astro City about an old lady who runs a roadside attraction/museum of damaged robots.  Of the super-villainous lackey variety...

Then another Princess Ugg, where-in our titular character explains why she's attempting to get thru a "civilized" finishing school.  And then tries ( Read more... )

The cover to the latest Knights of the Dinner Table does look a bit like the rush job it was, but its very much an excellent tribute to the late Dave Trampier.  Trampier was one of the old school 1st Edition artists for the D&D rule books, as well as the creator of the D&D-ish comic strip Wormy...

Lobster Johnson faces both a cyborg mobster AND a ( Read more... )

Been really slacking on these again.  Which does highlight how little DC/Marvel I'm buying as singles right now.  If I don't count Vertigo imprint books, its a single title from each right now.  Mainline DC just isn't putting out much I want to follow and Marvel's $4 per issue thing is becoming more and more of deal breaker.  Including on the title ( Read more... )

Astro City finishes up its Winged Victory arc with both a super-villain beat down and WV confronting her backers with their views on how to empower women.  I also like how she tells Karnazon he should stop trying to arch her, because he used to be a Big Thing kind of super-villain before he got obsessed with beating her...

Invincible has to team ( Read more... )

And then Pete is with his ( Read more... )

Two weeks and three Adventure Time related books.  Adventure Time with Fionna & Cake has Fionna teaming with Flame Prince to rescue the stolen Fire Elementals from Ice Queen.  Then regular ol' Adventure Time has Finn & Jake teaming with Ice King on a dungeon crawl.  Where at one point they fight Ice Queen.  And finally the Adventure Time 2013 ( Read more... )

Not so shockingly, using the crazy third rate Dark Avengers to steal alien technology looks like it will break the world. Marvel shadow cabinets are always so dumb...

So besides someone trying to make Matt all crazy, Daredevil and Foggy are trying to clear a nurse from a locked room murder mystery. One where the victim was drained of blood. And ( Read more... )

Ok lets get past the procrastination to look at this week's haul. Starting up with Marvel. First its Daredevil vs. the Banking Bureaucracy of Latveria! Then Dark Avengers goes back to the missing Thunderbolts who are going back, WAY BACK, in time to make a delivery and rescue a time traveler. Which totally won't bite them on the ass. And ( Read more... )

Oh right, bought comics this week didn't I?

Starting with the finale to the current Lobster Johnson mini, Lobster Johnson: the Burning Hand which has a trap involving cannibal sewer zombies...

And a new Dark Horse Presents. Some Finder and Cal McDonald as well as a new Nexus and Aliens story ( Read more... )
