Pre-Reviews for December 27, 2006.

There’s some comic
books coming out
on December 27th.

Here are some pithy
soundbites concerning
some of them.

Dark Horse Comics

SEP060024 BPRD UNIVERSAL MACHINE TP $17.95

I’d always liked BPRD enough to get it and enjoy it, but this arc really let me feel like I cared about what happened in the book. I’m hating the wait between series, though.

DC Comics

OCT060181 BLUE BEETLE #10 $2.99
SEP060220 BLUE BEETLE SHELLSHOCKED TP $12.99

Buy this or Rogers and Giffen swear they’ll murder the cat. Cully Hammer has nothing to do with this threat and I’m sure he’d want to assure you that he loves cats, really.

OCT060267 BOYS #6 (MR) $2.99

In this one: the beatings.

SEP060200 HUNTRESS DARK KNIGHT DAUGHTER TP $19.99

I may have ordered this out of some hazy sentimentality for comics I never read in my youth. Or maybe it’s the awesome Bolland cover.

Marvel Comics

OCT062226 CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE FALCON NOMAD TP $24.99

$25?!? I mean, yes, still cheaper than buying singles, but between this and the last volume of Kirby Captain America stories costing $30, I suspect Marvel is doing something of a mark-up for the “nostalgia” market.

OCT062167 NEXTWAVE AGENTS OF HATE #11 $2.99

Soon I will have to say goodbye. Tears will streak down my face when I hold #12 in my hand and I will probably dive into a 64-gallon drum of fine Kentucky bourbon to erase my sorrows.

OCT062218 SPIDER-MAN LOVES MARY JANE VOL 2 NEW GIRL DIGEST TP $7.99

I adore this comic. I want to kiss it every time I see one of its digests on my bookcase. It’s just so darned pure.

Comics

OCT063640 3 GEEKS JIMS JERKY PI

Sterling reviews it here.

NOV063210 CROMARTIE HIGH SCHOOL MANGA VOL 9 TP $10.95

And I just finished the last volume while I was on Cape Cod! Timing like this surely is not coincidence, but proof of a higher power. A higher power that wants me to be a total badass.

OCT063984 MY FIRST MARVEL SUPER HEROES FACTBOOK $9.95

Here’s an exclusive excerpt:

Wolverine kills people and is still tolerated by the hypocritical X-Nen because many Marvel comics fans look at him as a surrogate father, one who would shred those who mocked them for wearing a Guardians of the Galaxy t-shirt to class!

He is Marvel’s meal ticket, and no force is going to stop him from making sure that the publisher’s offices in Manhattan are lined in gold.

Yes, you can leave the usual hate mail in my comments section.

MAR062997 WOLFSKIN #2 (OF 3) (MR) $3.99
MAR063000 WOLFSKIN PAINTED CVR #2 (OF 3) (MR) $3.99
MAR063001 WOLFSKIN PLATINUM FOIL CVR #2 (OF 3) (MR) PI
MAR062999 WOLFSKIN VICIOUS CVR #2 (OF 3) (MR) $3.99
MAR062998 WOLFSKIN WRAPAROUND CVR #2 (OF 3) (MR) $3.99

Wow, March solicitation, December delivery. I completely forgot about this Ellis series, which is not the norm. Avatar, please, get people to finish series before you solicit them.
