Weekly Comic Shopping List 7/10/08

July 10th, 2008 -- by Scott Cederlund --> · No Comments

I’ve gotten a couple of reviews out last week but it’s amazing how my mind hasn’t been able to really think about comics since the overload that was Wizard World Chicago.  I hope my mind gets back to normal next week. 

  • Final Crisis Requiem #1 — I wasn’t going to get this but I think I’ve become a sucker for anything Final Crisis and I’ve really gotten to enjoy Doug Mahnke’s artwork lately. 
  • Justice Society Of America Vol 3 #17– It’s been fun lately.  Let’s hope that Johns can continue but I’m really waiting for the Ordway-drawn annual at this point.
  • New York Four GN– Brian Wood and Ryan Kelly together again.  Why, it almost feels like it’s only been a month since we last saw this pairing?  What do you mean that it has only been a month since Local #12?  Honestly, the Minx line has left me kind of cold so far.  The few books I’ve read have ranged from over-hyped to o.k. but Wood is one of my favorite
  • Captain Britain And MI 13 #3 (Secret Invasion Tie-In)– I wonder if the title character will show up this issue?
  • Invincible Iron Man #3 Salvador Larroca Cover– I don’t know if I have an issue with Matt Fraction or with the character of Pepper Potts for throwing what appears to be an alcoholic beverage in a known alcoholics face last issue.  I have a feeling that I should be blaming the character but it’s such an odd moment that I wonder what the heck Fraction was thinking or trying to do there.
  • Secret Invasion #4 Regular Gabriele Dell Otto Cover– I wonder if the Avengers will get out of the Savage Land this issue and find out how Jarvis #$%^! them over.
  • Annihilation Conquest Book 2 HC– I love cosmic Marvel and the strange twist they’ve taken to turn cosmic Marvel into Marvel’s current war books. 
  • Criminal Vol 3 Dead And Dying TP– Great stuff though the last chapter of this book gets rather heavy. 
  • Berlin #16– This is another one of those issues that I’m not getting but this means that the second collection should be out in a month or two.  It’s been so long since I’ve read Berlin that I need to find my copy of the first collection and reread it. 
  • Kyle Baker Nat Turner SC– I read the original first issue of this and have been waiting for this collection to finally come out.
  • Comic Foundry Magazine Vol 1 #3 Summer 2008– I’ve liked this magazine so far.  It’s like an Entertainment Weekly but for comic geeks.  Not a lot of in-depth content but last issue’s Fraction interview was good.  This issue focuses on Blair Butler and I’m kind of curious to see what she has to say.
