Weekly Comic Shopping List 12/23/09

What a week for great artwork? 


  • Detective Comics #860-- The final part of Rucka and Williams III's Batwoman: Year One.  For my money, this has probably been the best superhero comic of the year under Rucka and Williams.  

  • Original Johnson Vol 1 GN-- It's been a long time since I've really looked at Trevor Von Eeden's artwork.  As a kid, I remember his stuff being not necessarily to my liking but I think that if I revisited his stuff now, I'd really enjoy it.

  • Winterworld HC--  Here's another series I haven't thought about in years.  This originally came out from Eclipse back in the last 80s I think.  

  • Captain America Reborn Who Will Wield The Shield--  From what I've seen of the preview art in this book by Butch Guice, I'll pick this up just for the art, even though it'll still be a few months until I get to read CA: Reborn.  

  • Criminal The Sinners #3-- I don't know many more ways to say that Criminal may be one of my favorite ongoing (for as much as it is) comics right now.  

  • Footnotes In Gaza GN-- I've been looking forward to new Joe Sacco for a while now.  Waiting for this book has made me wait on putting out any "best of 2009" list because I want to read this before I make a final judgment on this year's comics.
