Weekly Comic Shopping List 9/16/09

Oh boy.  I watched X-Men Origins: Wolverine last night.  I honestly think that buried somewhere underneath that mess of a movie were one or two good stories that deserved to be expanded on.  Of course, the whole thing ended up just being a set up for the eventual Deadpool movie. 

It's only a couple of days until the Windy City Comicon.  I'll be there for part of the day this year, with my son in tow.  We're both looking forward to a day to just hang out together.  I think today is the last day to pre-order tickets at the website.  It should be a really good time this year.

Onto the comics...

  • 3 Story: Secret History of the Giant Man-- I haven't read any of Matt Kindt's stuff but plan on picking up Secret Spy this weekend at the show and want to get this one as well. 
  • Blackest Night #3-- I just read a large chunk of this over the weekend and I'm still enjoying it.  The main series is a nice Justice League story, something that hasn't really happened in a long time. Sure it's pure spectacle but it's been pretty decent spectacle so far. 
  • JSA vs Kobra Engines Of Fate #4-- Don Kramer's artwork colored by Art Lyons has just been knocking me out on this series.  I really wish Kramer had been able to draw Johns' JSA relaunch instead of Dale Eaglesham, who I just can't get into.
  • Wednesday Comics #11-- Almost done.  I must be one of the few comic readers who just can't get into this series for the life of me. 
  • Dominic Fortune #2-- The first issue was pure Chaykin pulp and so enjoyable.  Can't wait to see what Chaykin can do with this series.
  • Oishinbo A La Carte Vol 5 Vegetables TP-- I've got to catch up on this series.  All I know is that whenever I read this book, I get really hungry for good Japanese food.
  • Pluto Urasawa x Tezuka Vol 5 TP-- Almost hard to believe that this series is half over.
