DC Comics
OCT060288 DOOM PATROL VOL 5 MAGIC BUS TP (MR) $19.99>Any week with two Morrison trade paperbacks is a good week for me! I understand why the Seven Soldiers trade is late, but the delay on th Doom Patrol volume has me curious. I wonder if it had anything to do with the Charles Atlas suit.
NOV060237 SEVEN SOLDIERS OF VICTORY VOL 4 TP (RES) $14.99
(Seriously, at this point, can't they give the Charles Atlas people like $9 for the rights to use his likeness? Throw in a snack pack of Doritos if they get tough.)
OCT060173 SUPERMAN BACK IN ACTION TP $14.99Hey, I liked Up, Up, And Away an awful lot - is this material fun? It looks fun. There's a big bad Alien in it and stuff. Somebody tell me.
Marvel Comics
NOV062369 DEFENDERS INDEFENSIBLE TP $13.99A fine, fine little series that even if it's played for comedy, manages to keep all the characters involved more "in character" than they've appeared during the latest major crossover. Yes, it's Dormammu and his sister freaking out again, but there's a real epic feel to this that a regular Marvel title has not had before.
NOV062366 IRON MAN EXTREMIS TP $14.99Remember how I made the blah blah blah about Iron Man a while back? This is how I'd like the character to be done. Yes, it's Ellis.
Yes, I think he's better than most, most of the time.
Other Companies And Junk
JUN063099 BEASTS HC $28.95Fantagraphics' Jacob Covey works with dozens of creators to compile "a classic mythological menagerie, comprised only of creatures that were thought at one time to actually exist" and it looks fantastic from what I've seen. I'll have a review up for it in the very near future, I'm pretty sure.
NOV064130 GARFIELD BLOTS OUT THE SUN $10.95BECAUSE HE IS FAT.
DO YOU GET IT???
Jesus, Jim Davis. Just off yourself or let the strip die already.
OCT063032 VAULT OF MICHAEL ALLRED #4 (OF 4) $6.99You know, I've bought and enjoyed all of these (egocentric, to be sure) scrapbook-type things for Madman and I really hope they're not included in the forthcoming Gargantua collection.
NOV064014 DOC SAVAGE DOUBLE NOVEL VOL 3 $12.95You should read these. Yes, you should.
