Weekly Comic Shopping List 10/14/09
Adventure Comics Vol 2 #3-- I've liked this book a bit more than I've wanted to but I credit that more to Francis Manupul than to Geoff Johns. The last issue was just a nice story about two young lovers trying to figure out where they go from here. We'll see if the magic continues this issue. If nothing else, I think I'm tapped into anything Legion.
Green Lantern Corps Vol 2 #41-- Zombies Green Lanterns. If Blackest Night truly resurrects anyone, it better by C'hip.
JSA vs Kobra #5-- I've been enjoying this series but I hope something happens soon. It's more of a Mister Terrific book guest-starring the rest of the JSA which isn't bad but I'd like to see the action spread around a bit more. Johns' best JSA stories were where he was able to give everyone their moment in the spotlight.
Act-I-Vate Primer HC-- More webcomics on dead trees which is actually my favorite way of reading these comics.
Hammer Of The Gods Vol 1 Mortal Enemy TP-- I've got some of Oeming's original Hammer of the Gods stuff but I can't figure out if this is a reprint of that stuff or something else. I really liked Oeming's take on Norse mythology and his artwork is always really great. He's got such a versatile style that he can go from a gritty book like Powers to a cosmic book liked Hammer of the Gods.
Liberty Comics A CBLDF Benefit Book #2-- If nothing else, pick this up just to support a good cause.
Daredevil Return Of King TP-- I need to sit down one of these weekends and dig out all of Brubaker and Lark's run on Daredevil. There were plenty of highs and lows about their run and, if there's one knock I need to make against it, I'm not too sure yet what their stamp on the character was. They picked up from the Bendis/Maleev run and continued the story but how did the character or his situations grow at all? Brubaker was recently on a Word Balloonpodcast and said how he wanted to try to do some more swashbuckling Daredevil but the fans didn't like that. Well, that was actually my favorite part of his run and everything after felt like an odd step backwards to me.
You Are There HC-- More Jacques Tardi. I still have to read West Coast Blues, which is sitting on a pile of books on my desk.
Green Lantern Corps Vol 2 #41-- Zombies Green Lanterns. If Blackest Night truly resurrects anyone, it better by C'hip.
