November 1, 2006.
Holy shit, this year
is just flying past!
DC Comics
AUG060178 GOTHAM CENTRAL VOL 4 THE QUICK AND THE DEAD TP $14.99
The series that got cancelled so a lead character could become the Spectre gets another trade. Personally, I think they should have kept Crispus Allen, as the Spectre, on the police force. I guarantee the close rate in the GCPD homicide division would have lept upward quickly. Plus: he could swing double and triple shifts, no problem.
SEP060279 MIDNIGHTER #1 $2.99
Garth Ennis writes, Chris Sprouse draws, Kevin leans back and cackles loudly at his luck at having two of his favorite.
SEP060206 SUPERMAN CONFIDENTIAL #1 $2.99
This looks quite engaging, but after Cooke and Sale leave, DC better have a heck of a followup ready to keep me around. Part of me is also wondering how much I’ll enjoy a Cooke written-but-not-drawn comic, as his art is such a huge draw for me.
Marvel Comics
SEP062092 AGENTS OF ATLAS #4 (OF 6) $2.99
Marvel, please make this an ongoing, or at least a series of miniseries. I would very much appreciate that and would probably apologize for accusing Joe Quesada of huffing drugs off a dead hooker’s ass at SDCC . Thank you very much.
SEP062178 FANTASTIC FOUR FIRST FAMILY TP $15.99
Enjoyed it as a mini, buying it as a trade because I likes my Joe Casey in doses like that. Also: lovely artwork by the never-properly-appreciated Chris Weston. I’d pay good money to read a Silver Age Superman story after seeing this piece on his blog. (Also, does this indicate what I think it indicates? If yes, prepare my wallet, Jeeves.)
Other Companies (May not be complete, as it’s always the last part to get filled in.)
SEP063017 EMO BOY VOL 1 NOBODY CARES TP (JUN068284) $13.95
Find out why I think Emo Boy is one of the funniest, sweetest, most agonizingly emo comics of all time. I seriously love this comic and if it weren’t for Rex Libris, I’d say it’s the single best regularly-published book that SLG is putting out. As it is, I’ll have to say it’s one of the two best regularly-published books that SLG is putting out.
