Comments Off | Posted: May 15th, 2006 | Filed under: Uncategorized

This is what’s coming out this week.
Below is what I will purchase, with commentary.
Any questions?

I didn’t think so.

DC Comics

MAR060381 100 BULLETS #72 (MR) $2.99

Crime comic, reason Brian Azzarrello is on this planet, etc, etc, yawn.

MAR060310 52 WEEK #2 $2.50

I’m giving this one month to start to bore me so I can drop it. After that, I’ll probably hit Completist Mentality Mode.

NOV050225 ALL STAR BATMAN AND ROBIN THE BOY WONDER #4 (RES) $2.99

Shut up. I love it.

MAR060287 BATMAN YEAR ONE HUNDRED #4 (OF 4) $5.99

How brilliant was the thing with the teeth? Fucking brilliant.

MAR060380 BITE CLUB VAMPIRE CRIME UNIT #2 (OF 5) (MR) $2.99

I liked this, many other people weren’t crazy about it. Many other people are unworthy of their status as bipedal, evolved mammals and need to get the hell off my planet.

MAR060382 DMZ #7 (MR) $2.99

I gotta say that last issue grabbed me by the untouchables and I’m eager to see what happens to everyone’s favorite reporter-on-the-scene who is not Kevin Sites.

MAR060337 SGT ROCK THE PROPHECY #5 (OF 6) $2.99

True Fact: this will not be cheery or uplifting, except for the bits when they shoot Nazis.

NOV051740 FELL #5 $1.99

I read the shop’s preview copy and it’s another well done-in-one.

Ha. I like what I did there.

Marvel

MAR062150 BLACK PANTHER BAD MUTHA TP $10.99

I love that Marvel takes their one successful solo black hero that’s achieved some level of respect and decides to use the phrase “Bad Mutha” to describe him. I think that’s swell, in fact.

MAR062101 MARVEL LEGACY 1970S HANDBOOK $4.99

Oh, yes, I’ll be getting this. The 1960s volume had me cackling in a few places.

MAR062144 X-MEN FIRESTAR DIGEST TP $7.99

I support this format because I love freedom and America.

Other Publishers

MAR063205 CASTLE WAITING HC $29.95

$30 for the complete Castle Waiting saga? Sold!

FEB062921 JEREMIAH HARM #3 $3.99
JAN068080 JEREMIAH HARM 2ND PRTG #1 (PP #706) $3.99
FEB062920 TALENT #1 (OF 4) $3.99

Boom! Studios offers only the highest-quality in comics entertainment for you, the discerning consumer. It’s hard to imagine anyone achieving a parallel level of unbridled perfection without consorting with dark forces.

Ross, please let the puppy go.

Seriously, let the puppy go.

NOV053236 RIVAL SCHOOLS #1 REY COVER A $4.95

I am buying a goddamn video game comic because Corey Lewis makes with the fun art that I love.

Damn you, Corey Lewis.
