Flash Rebirth #6 -- Two awaited Geoff Johns books this week. It's been so long, I don't know if I really care to wait to see the end of Flash Rebirth but I've got the first 5 so what's one more? This relaunch has had some cool moments but feels like it's been a narrative black hole, treading ground until we could get to an actual series, which looks to finally be starting in a month or two. Blackest Night continues to chug along with this penultimate issue. Both of these series illustrates the strengths and weaknesses of Johns as a writer-- he comes up with some cool ideas but they often come across as he's playing with his favorite toys.
Mighty Avengers Vol 6 Unspoken HC
New Avengers Vol 12 Power Loss HC-- After last week's Dark Avengers V2, we're getting three Avengers collections in 2 weeks, which I think pretty much catch us up on the Civil War/Secret Invasion/Seige era Avengers. I'm working on a Dark Avengers review that begins to draw together some of my thoughts and theories on the last 5 years of Avengers' stories. That review should be up in the next day or two. If all goes to plan, I should be reviewing both of these trades next week.
Naoki Urasawas 20th Century Boys Vol 7 TP-- Pretty soon, this will be the only Urasawa book we see unless someone has already snapped up the rights to Billy Bat that we don't know about. I've still got to finish V8, so I think both of them will be next week's "Weekend Reading."
