SHE-HULK 2 #11

Another big week for me.

― c('°c) (Leee), Monday, 28 August 2006 20:14 (nineteen years ago)

She-Hulk and Solo (which is coming out pretty regularly for a cancelled title!)

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 28 August 2006 20:22 (nineteen years ago)

All Star Superman, She-Hulk, Ultimate X-Men Annual and X-Factor. Slim week, but a good one.

― Oblivious Lad. (Oblivious Lad), Monday, 28 August 2006 20:23 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yeah, ASS as well.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 28 August 2006 20:28 (nineteen years ago)

Ooooh, nice showing: Carey X-Men (YES!), Ultimate Carey FF, X-Factor, Ultimate X-Men annual, All Star Superman, and 52.

Carey/Bachalo X-Men is probably the book that I enjoy the most right now aside from Brubaker's Daredevil.

― Matthew Perpetua! (Matthew Perpetua!), Monday, 28 August 2006 20:33 (nineteen years ago)

Little Lulu Color special! All Star Supes! Batman Showcase! Finally!
Is there any reason I shouldn't be getting Usagi Yojimbo on a regular basis?
And the Snakes on a Plane adaptation. Yay? Who's drawring that?

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 28 August 2006 20:45 (nineteen years ago)

who is solo #12?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 28 August 2006 21:04 (nineteen years ago)

READ FIRST POST (Reverso McCarthy)

― kit brash (kit brash), Monday, 28 August 2006 21:33 (nineteen years ago)

action
all star stupidman
JLA class (potentially, if it looks good; who's writing this arc?)
skulk
x-mang (i'm into this more than brubaker's right now; last brubaker issue sucked balls. [though it was good i guess to have the backstory, since i haven't been a regular x-reader in QUITE SOME TIME. it still should have moved the action forward a little bit, i would have hoped.]
x-factor as long as it's not too civil war-y.)
maybe ultimate FF.

I'd be more excited about Ultimate FF if the lead character wasn't LIL' REED RICHARDS.

oh, Grant Morrison's ASS? that and McCarthy SOLO get me into the shop where I'll finally get around to picking up the last Shaolin Cowboy too.

― kit brash (kit brash), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 02:48 (nineteen years ago)

muppet babies was pretty fucking awesome, it's true.

also, jessie, while as a whole i agree with your anti-land stance, i think those zombies looked pretty cool. xpost

JLA class (potentially, if it looks good; who's writing this arc?)

I believe it's the Chaykin arc that replaced Milligan's Kid Amazo. if the Detroit story is over, that is.

Carey's X-Men is very good, and as it's not on my pull list I'll be picking up the recent issues at my local shop's 1/2 price Labour Day sale. It, and a sickening number of other things.

― Oblivious Lad. (Oblivious Lad), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 04:03 (nineteen years ago)

when is stupid richard donner run start? why come no one buy merican virgin? wheres the cloonan love?

― chaki (chaki), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 04:18 (nineteen years ago)

Cloonan is a good artist, but it'd be great if she worked on just one project that interested me. I read the first three issues of American Virgin and it was like "yeah, okay, nice try but this isn't working for me." I'm just not that into Seagle, you see...

― Matthew Perpetua! (Matthew Perpetua!), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 11:25 (nineteen years ago)

52, Action ASS, Rocketo, She-Hulk, X-Factor, X-Men. And a trade or two, most likely.

― barefoot manthing (Garrett Martin), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 11:39 (nineteen years ago)

Yay, a new Brendan McCarthy comic, first floppy I'll have bought since...the Darwyn Cooke Solo!

Yeah the zombie FF were the best thing about that run by FAR in both art and general awesomeness (except for the whole getting out to build a transporter to bring all the other zombies to be trapped on the top half of Baxter building, honestly wtf). I don't want to say it because for some reason I feel bad for saying it, but Millar's writing on that whole run was very meeeeh. And the annual was SO AWESOME I am totally excited for Carey and art that doesn't make me want to die.

MAY060019 GREMLINS HC $12.95

d00dz! It's by Roald Dahl! I'm no expert on the guy, but I didn't even know he did Gremlins stories! Every Gremlin I've met so far (the ones in the Joe Dante movies and the one that fought Bugs Bunny) have been unequivocally awesome, surely this will be as well! Exclamation mark!

omg turns out he INVENTED them:

Published in 1943 and long unavailable, Dark Horse Books is proud to present this landmark book from the author of such beloved tales as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, and Matilda. Digitally restored, this remarkable presentation of Dahl's classic story, lavishly illustrated by the artists of the Walt Disney Studios, will delight readers of all ages!

The Gremlins is the story of Gus, a British World War II fighter pilot, who during the Battle of Britain turned to look out on the wing of his plane only to see an amazing sight: a little man, no more than six inches tall with horns growing from his head, drilling a hole in the plane's wing. Gus was the first man to ever see a Gremlin, and what happened after that would change the war, and the world, forever.

Bought by Walt Disney to be produced as an animated motion picture (and considered to be the first story featuring the mythical airplane-sabotaging creatures known as Gremlins), the project was ultimately shelved and is reprinted here for the first time in over sixty years.

Or not not!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 16:01 (nineteen years ago)

Hmmm, mixed feelings about Ultimate X-Men annual. Not a bad issue and I don't totally think it's a bad idea, but it's a bit much to make Nightcrawler a totally creepy weirdo, right?

At least they fixed what Vaughan did to Rogue.

― Matthew Perpetua! (Matthew Perpetua!), Sunday, 3 September 2006 00:38 (nineteen years ago)

Oh man that Brendan SOLO bk is soooo gd, pure psych invention and colour gorgeous WEIRD, comic of the year

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Sunday, 3 September 2006 10:05 (nineteen years ago)

i love solo!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 3 September 2006 12:16 (nineteen years ago)

YAH THAT SOLO WAS AWESOME!!

― chaki (chaki), Monday, 4 September 2006 03:39 (nineteen years ago)

yes. damn McCarthy for his underambition fr Swimini Purpose.

― kit brash (kit brash), Monday, 4 September 2006 11:16 (nineteen years ago)

I'm fairly certain Mr. Nobody can be seen in one of those little prison cell things on the Auctioneer's ship. Has he ever appeared outside Doom Patrol before?

― barefoot manthing (Garrett Martin), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:18 (nineteen years ago)

I noticed that too. He must have been punched back into existence.

― Chuck_Tatum (Chuck_Tatum), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:20 (nineteen years ago)

That Auctioneer bit occurs in Action Comics #842, of course, which I somehow completely forgot to mention above. I think I'm still too astounded by SUPERMAN'S AMAZING NEW POWER* to think clearly and rationally right now.

*: read this at lunch. it is amazing, yes.

― barefoot manthing (Garrett Martin), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:42 (nineteen years ago)

Why can't KB co-write AC w/ someone for the next 5893 years? Why you gotta Johns shit up, DC?

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:46 (nineteen years ago)

SUPERMAN'S AMAZING NEW POWER

do you mean the one in Showcase Presents or the one in Action?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 7 September 2006 21:17 (nineteen years ago)

the Showcase one. finally trying to finish that book off.

― barefoot manthing (Garrett Martin), Friday, 8 September 2006 00:25 (nineteen years ago)

I fucking LOVED Detective. Haven't read anything else yet, though. I'm not sure I can keep on the Atom bandwagon much longer, guys.

Also, my shop got restocked on those R. Crumb blues cards, so I got those. Both the blues set and the country set are HIGHLY rec'd. I love that kinda music though, so I'm probably a bit biased.

― disappointing goth fest line-up (orion), Friday, 8 September 2006 01:01 (nineteen years ago)

Huh...I have two copies of the blues set -- I guess I should have tried to make a pile off of one before it went back into print...

― Danny Aioli (Rock Hardy), Friday, 8 September 2006 02:24 (nineteen years ago)

oh and i just realized i posted that last post in the WRONG shipping thread!

― disappointing goth fest line-up (orion), Friday, 8 September 2006 02:49 (nineteen years ago)

Atom was cool until those amish chthulhu worshippers showed up ("sanity roll" ha ha) - i was a bit "hmmm..." but will wait to see how it all pans out.

Also Atom being irresistable to the ladeez will get old v quickly

― Mark Co (Markco), Friday, 8 September 2006 07:36 (nineteen years ago)

NOT FOR THE ATOM IT WON'T.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 8 September 2006 11:41 (nineteen years ago)

I got the Brendan McCarthy Solo a week late, but oh man I am soooooooooo glad that I bought it. Absolutely loved it. It's too bad pretty much everything he's ever done in comics is currently out of print.

― Matthew Perpetua! (Matthew Perpetua!), Friday, 8 September 2006 11:50 (nineteen years ago)

"pretty much"?

― kit brash (kit brash), Friday, 8 September 2006 12:48 (nineteen years ago)

I had a Shade cover of his printed on a t-shirt when I was 15. Is that (a) accidentally, retroactively cool or (b) still incredibly dorky? I'm opting for (b).

― Chuck_Tatum (Chuck_Tatum), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:16 (nineteen years ago)

na thats awesome. but im a dork.

― chaki (chaki), Friday, 8 September 2006 15:43 (nineteen years ago)

Kit, Solo #12 isn't out of print yet!

― Matthew Perpetua! (Matthew Perpetua!), Friday, 8 September 2006 18:05 (nineteen years ago)

Though I guess almost all issues of comics are technically out of print as soon as they are released...

― Matthew Perpetua! (Matthew Perpetua!), Friday, 8 September 2006 18:06 (nineteen years ago)

I thought She-Hulk and ASS were customarily great. Y was customarily readable. I still have Detective, Solo, and a Love & Rockets back issue sitting at home.
