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... )

This issue of Knights of the Dinner Table has lots of Weird Pete. First he finishes up his gig as a temp player to run Dave's character as the UT+1 narrowly avoid total disaster while scouting the region where uber-sword Carvin' Marvin is at rest (though Brian still thinks he has a way to game things to his advantage). And then Pete is with his ( Read more... )

Lots and lots of comics for the last three weeks.  With almost half just from this week.  Starting with the latest Dark Horse Presents, with a brand new Hellboy short story set during his Mexican wrestler years.  And a related comic with the final issue of itty bitty Hellboy and a pool party for Abe's sister Eve...

I wonder if what makes me really like this two-issue arc of Astro City is that the lead is a heroic call center employee...

So the big thing for this week is the return of Astro City, this time around being put out by Vertigo.  In addition to some old faces (including a somewhat surprising call back) we get new characters like American Chibi, the Broken Man and Telseth of the Kvurri.  Also Busiek is still working with Brent Eric Anderson as his artist and Alex Ross on ( Read more... )

Last week's Dark Horse Presents didn't have any of my favorites.  No "Finder" or that pseudo-Pokemons one or "Resident Alien".  Does have some new "Nexus" which is nice.  And a couple supers variants that I like...

Though a Bunny doth reign in the Hell of the Unwritten still a quest shall be completed.  Er..lo or something...

So it seems that ( Read more... )
