A solid, solid, solid week and it gets three “solid’s” because while there wasn’t a lot of amazing stuff, each issue is setting up their arcs for a spectacular finish.  A month or two from now all of these issues are going to pay off big.

Booster Gold #8 - It’s amazing how good this series is.  Booster Gold, as a character, is a fucking joke.  He’s

Dude I can't fucking say enough about Nova. Brubaker and Fraction leaving Iron Fist is going to kill me but Nova, motherfucking Nova is going to keep me going. The thing that I liked the most about this issue is that nobody died. In comics these days it seems like they're just constantly killing people off. This book opens with Drax and Gammora transformed into a Babel Spire, fucking Warlock, who is a character so goddamn obscure he might as well be wearing a red shirt, and Warlock's loose-cannon protege. They set this whole issue up as if to kill every last one of these assholes off and in the end we have them all back and ready for killing time

Nova and Drax and Kosmo the space dog will all appear in the new Guardians of the Galaxy by the Nova writers. It should appear sometime after Annihilation finishes.

The underground in Booster Gold had no chance. Red Staters and Blue Staters will never live in harmony. FACT.

I dug Busiek and Nord on Conan, but not enough that it doesn't constantly get bumped in my trade-buying queue. Them's the breaks, huh?

You won't be disappointed by Hellboy. In terms of trades, I'm going back through 100 Bullets since the series is going to wrap up in the next year.

I gotta go fondle my sweaters.
