What's New? Week of 31st of August



Put your shoes on and check your hair because you're going to want to run to your local comic shop! Here's where I look at the Diamond shipping list and see what's coming out this week.





PREVIEWS #276 SEPTEMBER 2011


DARK HORSE COMICS
ANGEL & FAITH #1 STEVE MORRIS CVR
BPRD TP VOL 11 BLACK GODDESS
CHIMICHANGA HC
CREEPY PRESENTS BERNIE WRIGHTSON HC


But that is the most un-creepy Wrightson art I have seen.


DRIFTERS VOL 01 (MR)
EDEN TP VOL 13 ITS AN ENDLESS WORLD (MR)
EERIE ARCHIVES HC VOL 08
GOON #35
GOON TP VOL 03 HEAPS OF RUINATION 2ND ED

STAR WARS ADV TP CHEWBACCA & SLAVERS O/T SHADOWLAND


DC COMICS
BATMAN BLACK AND WHITE STATUE DAVID FINCH
BATMAN MAD LOVE AND OTHER STORIES TP
FLASHPOINT #5 (OF 5)


This started as my guilty pleasure but the pleasure part left the equation long ago. So the whole deal with this miniseries has been that The Flash is stuck in an alternate world after The Reverse Flash meddled with the past and if you don't know, this issue sets up the new post DC reboot/relaunch continuity. So, I guess that means The Flash loses this one? I'm sure he'll stop the baddies and all but whoops! Everybody now has terrible costumes.


JUSTICE LEAGUE #1
JUSTICE LEAGUE #1 COMBO PACK



And here it is in the same week. Everything has already been said about this but I can't make myself excited about it. It's good to see the big heroes on the team again and I'm interested in seeing how long that lasts this time. My big issue is with the creative team. To me Jim Lee's art always looked like he got paid by the pencil stroke ("The car needs repairing? I'll just add more bullshit lines to Batman's cowl") and he's not great with costume designs. And Geoff Johns writing? I hope it's the Geoff Johns that was on Superman and not the Geoff Johns that wrote Flashpoint.

X-MEN SCHISM #2 (OF 5) 2ND PTG CHO VAR (PP #983)
ZOMBIES CHRISTMAS CAROL #5 (OF 5)



It's the 1960's and The Ghost of Christmas Future shows Stan Lee his future home and they have a Marvel movie marathon. But then that ghost shows him the terrible fate of the artists he worked with but Stan Lee isn't listening because he has too strong of a money boner.

C'mon, comics. What are you doing?


SUBCULTURE WEBSTRIPS VOL 01 WRATH OF GEEK (MR)

Again, Gestalt Publishing and I heard a lot of praise for this and would love to check it out. It's about underwater explorers which means the chance of an octopus is pretty high.

This is the point where I regret looking at these lists. I didn't want to know this is a thing. Bay Rots? David Hasselcorpse? So I guess it is like when they turn a thing into a porno but instead of sexy names they make them about death? And it has reached Volume 5? I am so sad right now, you guys.

Next time you see someone talking into a bluetooth headset don't instinctively think he's a douche. Take a second look because they may be using a Darth Vader Earloomz and you'll regret ever thinking they weren't 100% a winner.

Is she dressed as the Robin that got beaten then blown up? Or the Robin that is the ten year old son of Batman? At least it's not a costume of The Spoiler.

What I'm learning is that there's actually quite a lot of precedent for the gross sleazy fanboy stereotype. I'm probably not helping with the costume images though.


WAR MACHINE MODERN STATUE

I like the look of these. Here's more info.
