I'm sorry

I pretty sure no one really reads my blog but I decided to do it to get better at writing and be creative. So as cliche as it is, as of new years I'll try to keep up on a weekly blog. This is my promise to you, my singular reader..... who is most likely me.....

See here's what you should get 9/28/09

Let's get the ball rolling alphabetically.......


Batman #692
Writer: Tony Daniel
Artist: Tony Daniel

The sky's the limit when "Battle for the Cowl" writer/artist Tony Daniel takes over for Judd Winick for the next 6 months. We loved Winick's arc and now we're really looking forward to seeing Dick Grayson take on a increasingly powerful Black Mask. but what we're really looking forward to, is seeing if Catwoman tries to get busy with our new Batman again.


Blackest Night #4
Writer: Geoff Johns
Artist: Ivan Reis and Oclair Albert

It's Blackest Night 4, I'm not going to try to sell you on this.



Blackest Night: Titans #3
Writer: JT Krul
Artist: Ed Benes

If you're a die hard Titans fan like I am you've been loving every heart stabbing minute of this. But more than that DC is making sure every tie in counts if you'll remember this mini series is the first clues we got at the white part of the color spectrum. If that's not enough..... Ed Benes draw pretty girls



Green Lantern #47
Writer: Geoff Johns
Artist: Doug Mahnke

This issue finally gets us back to the war raging between Larfleeze and the Blue Lanterns, come on this book has Saint Walker in it we both know you're going to buy it.



Secret Origin: Superman #2
Writer: Geoff Johns
Artist: Gary Frank

I know what you're saying "why do we need another Superman origin story? everyone knows Superman's origin" well, Ricky I'll tell you why. Yes, most of us do know Superman's origin but like almost everything else we've ever read Geoff Johns knows how to make it better. plain and simple and if that's not enough Gary Frank was born to draw Superman.


World's Finest #1
Writer: Sterling Gates
Artist: Julian Lopez

Superman characters that are in the Superman titles that aren't Superman meet the Batman characters that are in the Batman titles that aren't Batman. I wonder if Dick Grayson is getting sick of people taking his old alter egos?

A few notes, if you're wondering why Gotham City Sirens isn't on the list is although it says its Paul Dini its actually part two of the Chris Yost arc so you if you want that have at it. My deal is a 3.99 hush related book I'm down, a 3.99 huntress related book no dice. We are a little marvel light this week but if you're looking for something good marvel related check out Spider-man the second anti-venom arc could be what you're looking for!

See here is what you should get. 10/7/09

Superman: World of New Krypton #8

Writer: James Robinson and Greg Rucka
Artist: Pete Woods and Ron Randall

New Krypton is an exciting place to be everybody loves to party. even the Thanigarians whooo hawk girls gone wild!!



R.E.B.L.E.S. Annual #1

Writer: Tony Bebard
Artist: Kalman Andrasofszky, Derec Donovan, Karl Moline, Joe Prado

I don't Know where to start with why you should buy this, ok well lets start with its about Starro one of my personal favorite villains. Other than that we have the stellar under appreciated writing of Tony Bedard who has been turning out a spell binding book monthly with a bunch of awesome legion in jokes. Last but not least the art is stacked with Karl Moline (Fray) jumping on for this annual.



DareDevil #501

Writer: Andy Diggle
Artist: Roberto De La Torre

It is one of the few marvel books I buy, coming off the heels of Brubaker's incredible run we find Daredevil the leader of the hand (whaaaa?) if thats not enough Andy Diggle (Green Arrow year one) is going to be the writer for the foreseeable future. I'll leave you with a Brubaker quote on why you should read this book " I really just hope that when Diggle leaves the the book the last page is Foggy shooting matt in the face and Diggle saying here you go to the next guy"

see here is what you should get. 9/9/09

Adventure Comics #2
Writer: Geoff johns
Artist: Francis Manapul

Other than the fact it’s written by Geoff Johns and the art Francis Manapul is putting out is amazing this book is making us remember why we love Superboy. This issue teases a meeting with Wondergirl, we hope he doesn’t ask how she and Tim Drake dealt with losing him...

Blackest Night: Batman #2

Writer: Peter Tomasi

Artist: Adrian Syaf

Three men, three costumed heroes, three orphans, ONE DADDY ISSUE. Seriously though this book is getting the bat family together for however short a time. It feels good to see Tim Drake interact with Dick Grayson as Batman.

Green Lantern Corps #40

Writer: Peter Tomasi

Artist: Patrick Gleason

Big ole fight on Oa, I don’t know how to sell this to you more.

Red Robin #4

Writer: Christopher Yost

Artist: Ramon Bachs

The conclusion of “The Grail” Tim Drake just keeps on doing whatever it takes to get what he wants. Maybe Dick Grayson will beat some sense in to him.

Secret Six #13

Writer: Gail Simone

Artist: Nicola Scott

The six is Split and fighting, Wonder Woman is in the mix too. This book is a perfect mix of action, humor, and amazing art. One of the best books coming out monthly, indisputable.

Titans #17

Writer: Pat McCallu

Artist: Angel Unzueta

Lately it’s been a monthly spot light but I have no complaints about it. Personally I love the original Titans. Sure it hasn’t moved forward much but if that’s not enough the art has been absolutely amazing.

Superman: World of New Krypton #7 (of 12)

Writer: James Robinson and Greg Rucka

Artist: Pete Woods

All you need to know is the Superman book with Superman in it. You absolutely have to read it.
