1.
Lockjaw And The Pet Avengers #1 – Should have been a $10 digest off the bat.
2.
Castle Waiting #15 – I love that Linda Medley is completely ignoring what makes her setting so interesting for the D&D set and focusing on the characters.
3.
Sgt. Fury & His Howling Commandos – Not read it yet, but you’d have to work hard to fuck up a story featuring World War II, Nick Fury, dead Nazis, art by John Paul Leon, and lettering by John Workman.
4.
Jack Staff #20 – Honestly, I still don’t believe I read an issue of Jack Staff a couple days ago. It was like a dream. A beautiful, wonderful dream.
5.
Young Liars #15 – I think I missed an issue, but how do you tell with this thing? A comic I enjoy despite its efforts to make me frustrated.
6.
Spider-Man J: Japanese Daze – They need to number these volumes, which I may stop reading if I don’t get a Japanese J Jonah Jameson soon, dammit.
7.
I’ve not gotten my hands on the new League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen yet. Yes, I know. Diamond is to blame this time around.
So what did you think of Sgt. Fury after reading it?
I enjoyed it, mostly because it had bravado and fantastic art more than anything like “depth.” The proiblem with all of those specials is that you pretty much know how things are going to end up, so they have to sort of play within a pretty tight framework.
