Weekly Comic Shopping List 2/17/10

  • Star Wars Legacy Vol 8 Tatooine TP--  I think I've come to love the characters in SW Legacy more than any character in the prequel movies and possibly even more than the characters in the original movies.  Ostrander and Duursema have created a whole social and political world that builds on Lucas' foundation but add color and depth that rarely exists on the screen.  For my money, this series is probably better than any sequel trilogy that Lucas could put together.

  • Kobra Resurrection TP-- Finally, the end of Checkmate gets collected, as well as some other Kobra stuff.  The Ivan Brandon Kobra story included is also supposed to be pretty good.

  • Starman Omnibus Vol 4 HC-- The first three volumes of this series have been soooooo nice and I can't wait to have the entire series collected some day-- emphasis on "entire." 

  • Joe The Barbarian #2-- After reading The Filth and Flex Mentallo over the past couple of weeks, I want to see if this is going to go where I think it could and if this turns out to be part of an unofficial Morrison trilogy.  Ever since Animal Man's "I can see you" moment, fiction and reality have collided in Morrison's story and fiction always wins out one way or another as it seeps into Morrison's idea of reality. 

  • Ignition City Vol 1 TP-- No Hero kind of soured me on Warren Ellis, at least for the moment but I want to check this one out and see if it's as wonderful and original as his Freak Angels is.

  • Almost Silent--  Ah, more from Norwegian cartoonist Jason. It'll surely feature crow-like people doing absurd things, all in the name of fortune and art.  And it'll probably be good too.
