Weekly Comic Shopping List 1/11/10

- Daytripper #2-- The first issue was good in a lowered expectations kind of way. Now that the set up is kind of out of the way, I want to see if there will be any energy or liveliness in this life-flashing-before-your-eyes kind of story.
- Complete Torpedo Vol 1 HC-- It's got Alex Toth and Jordi Bernet artwork. That's enough for me.
- Grimjack Manx Cat #6-- John Ostrander and Tim Truman's latest Grimjack story is over and it's probably a good thing. This series (originally done as a webcomic on Comix Mix hasn't been nearly as focused as their original return to the character in Killer Instinct was. But still, I hope there's more Grimjack from the both of them in the future.
- Ed Hannigan Covered HERO Initiative Benefit Book-- It's for the Hero Initiative which is always a good thing but hopefully this will make a lot of people interested in Ed Hannigan's artwork.
- Agents Of Atlas Turf Wars HC-- The last half of Jeff Parker and a host of artists Agents of Atlas series. I loved the mini and enjoyed the first part of their series which was a bit too tied into Dark Reign for me but I've been anxious to read these stories featuring the Agents and Namor, the Hulk and Suwan, Jimmy Woo's old love.
- No Hero TP-- Ah, more Warren Ellis Avatar stuff. I haven't read really any of this series so I've got no idea what it is but I've liked Juan Jose Ryp's artwork elsewhere, most notably Black Summer.
And coming from DCBS:
- The Avenging Mind
- The Avenging World-- Two Steve Ditko books, that feature more illustrated essays about... something other than comics. I've heard so much of the myth of Ditko in the last 10-15 years that I'm interested to see his work again.
- Alec: The Years Have Pants Life Size Omnibus-- Eddie Campbell's big book of collections, bringing all of his Alec and semi-autobiographical work together under one cover. No one does autobiography like Campbell and I can't wait to dive into this book this weekend and immerse myself in it.
