Weekly Comic Shopping List 1-4-2012


Here’s what looks good or interesting this week at your local comic shop or online digital retailer.  
  • BPRD Hell On Earth Vol 2 Gods And Monsters TP
  • Witchfinder Vol 2 Lost And Gone Forever TP

Two Mignola-verse book.  Tyler Cook’s artwork on BPRD is quite impressive but I’m really looking forward to seeing all of John Severin’s work on Witchfinder.  I read the first issue and his artwork was as impressive as ever.  

  • Action Comics Vol 2 #5 Regular Andy Kubert Cover
  • Animal Man Vol 2 #5
  • OMAC Vol 3 #5
  • Swamp Thing Vol 5 #5 Regular Yanick Paquette Cover

I think the first week of the month is my biggest week for the new DC but that may change.  I’m so on the fence with Action Comics.  I don’t think it works that well from issue to issue but after reading all 4 issues a couple of weeks ago, I think this will be fine in the collected form.  And if you had asked me in August what one of my favorite books right now would be, I don’t think I would have ever said OMAC.  

  • Fatale #1 Cvr B

I’ve read this one already.  It’s good.  Really good.  Look for a review to pop up somewhere tomorrow.

  • Shaky Kanes Monster Truck GN

I thought this one came out last week.  

  • Uncanny X-Force #19.1

Not really interested in the Age of Apocalypse stuff so I may end up sitting this one out.

  • Betrayal Of The Planet Of The Apes #3 Cvr A
  • Flash Gordon Zeitgeist #2 Regular Francesco Francavilla Cover

Two fun series about old science fiction concepts.  Both are also good looking books.


While it came out last week, the book I’m most looking forward to this week is DC’s long awaited reprinting of Chase.  Somehow I missed out on this book when it was coming out in the 90s.  I read the DC Comics Presents that came out last year but I want to read the whole thing now.
