DETECTIVE COMICS #848 - I'm greatly enjoying the heart of Hush. Dini has a good handle on the character and it bothers me how much people hate Hush. He's not that bad of a villain. TRINITY #14 - This series is kicking ass. I like the new characters they've added and I like the way they give the Multiverse more depth.  HOUSE OF MYSTERY #5 - I was going to drop it but I think a series like this needs twelve issues to figure out what it will be in the future.   EL DIABLO #1 (OF 6) - This looks promising.  FRINGE #1 (OF 6) - This is based on the tv show let's see if it's worth a crap. JONAH HEX #35 - Pick it up.  GREEN LANTERN #34 - This is the book I'm most excited to read this week.  VENOM DARK ORIGIN #2 (OF 5) - First issue was good, don;t know if I like the characterization of Brock as a liar, but let's see how they elaborate on this theme. TWELVE 1/2 - Ooh the Fiery Mask.  SECRET SIX #1 - I've ...

I'm trying to save money on comics so I'm trying to stick to ten books a week. Let's see how that works out.  FINAL CRISIS LEGION OF THREE WORLDS #1(OF 5) - Johns is the best. I'm really excited for this. I wonder how this really plays into Final Crisis.  JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #24 - I like the cover and hopefully after this arch the JLA can stretch it's wings and move on from Meltzer's plots. DC WILDSTORM DREAM WAR #5(OF 6) - This isn't working for me it feels weird and it doesn't feel like anything of importance has happened. In fact there isn't even any cool crossover moments since the first issue.  TRINITY #12 - I love this cover. Makes me wanna say Fuck Yeah! IRON FIST ORIGIN OF DANNY RAND - Iron Fist is the best book marvel has as far as I;m concerned. Anyone disagree? TANGENT SUPERMAN'S REIGN #6(OF 6) - I like this comic, I don't love it. Read it if you gto money to blow but by no means a must read.  MARVEL 1985 #4(OF 6) - I wish th...

BOOSTER GOLD #11 - This cover is beautiful. I'd hang this up on my wall like a piece of fine art.  ACTION COMICS #868 - Geoff Johns owns this. I'd love to see his take on Metallo my favorite supes villain.  LONE RANGER #12 - Great book. Read it.  BATMAN #679 RIP - Still confused but I'm interested.  FINAL CRISIS REVELATIONS #1(OF 5) - I might drop this if its not revealing enough.  SECRET INVASION #5(OF 7) - This book sucks.  GREEN ARROW BLACK CANARY #11 - The art by Cliff is a joy. I wish we could see more of Ollie at home with his wife being more husbandly and dealing with husbandly responsibilities. HELL BOY THE CROOKED MAN #2(OF 3) - This is a pretty cool Hellboy story, it seems like he's going to meet the devil.  GREEN LANTERN CORPS #27 - Love this cover and not for the Green Lantern bulges. .  TINY TITANS #7 - I wish this book was just like a weekly back up in the regular Teen Titans book.  LAST DEFENDERS #6 (OF 6) - I already bought the first 5 last one ain't...

I'm not going to rate them on how much I anticipate them for a while. Also I'm going to throw the moment of weekness up from now on as it's own thing.   FINAL CRISIS #3(OF 7) - I love this cover. I wish I loved this comic. HOUSE OF MYSTERY #4 - This book is interesting and subversive check it out. IRON MAN VIVA LAS VEGAS #2(OF 4) - It's been way too long since issue one. TWELVE #7 (OF 12) - This is my favorite of the ww2 heroes in present day maxi-series that are out. ULTIMATE ORIGINS #3(OF 5) - I don't really get it but i'm still buying it.  VENOM DARK ORIGIN #1(OF 5) -  With a possible Venom movie on the horizon this book may very well serve as the basis. JONAH HEX #34 - Meh. TRINITY #10 - This series is really very good.  WAR THAT TIME FORGOT #4(OF 12) - I like this series a lot. Every issue has people fighting a different dinosaur which is kind of genius.  This cover is the weakest out of all the ones they've done so far but I still like it.  DETECTIVE C...

#1 GREEN LANTERN #33 - This story is perfect. I love the way that Johns writes Sinestro. He's so pompous.  #2 JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA ANNUAL #1 - This looks awesome. Doc Retro must be hyped. #3 WOLVERINE #67 - Old Man Logan is awesome. The Marvel version of wanted with a little bit of Escape from New York thrown in.  #4 STAR TREK YEAR FOUR ENTERPRISE EXPERIMENT #4 - This book is solid and I love the art is has a very nostalgic felling which i dig. Keep it up IDW. #5 TEEN TITANS #61 - Kind of pissed my favorite Titan Ravager is off the squad hope she returns soon. Until then Blue Beetle and Kid Devil will have to do. #6 BLUE BEETLE #29 - I like this cover. Is that supposed to be the Texas Mexico border? #7 BATMAN DEATH MASK #4(OF 4)  -More Batmanga. I love it. I'd love to see the Manga take on Scarecrow or Joker or Killer Croc. #8 JOKER'S ASYLUM TWO FACE #1 - meh. #9 SECRET INVASION FANTASTIC FOUR #3(OF 3) - I like this book i thought I would've dropped it but it'...

#1 IMMORTAL IRON FIST #17 - I like the direction Marvel is taking Iron Fist he's really growing as a character.  #2 TRINITY #8 - Trinity is working for me the story feels like it's building to something real and the characters seem to be moving toward the same place.  #3 BRAVE AND THE BOLD #15 - Nightwing and Hawkman not the most excited team up but let's see what type of chemistry they produce. #4 GREEN LANTERN CORPS #26 - This book wraps up the Mongul arch which is pretty good.  #5  JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #23 - JLA needs to step it up. Cool cover though. #6 TWO FACE: YEAR ONE #1(OF 2) - With all the Batman energy in the air how could I not pick up a book about my favorite bat-foe. #7 JOKER'S ASYLUM: SCARECROW #1 - These Joker Asylum's have been hit or miss, hopefully this one will hit.  #8 NEW AVENGERS #43 - Secret Invasion sucks and takes forever and has the worst flow of any story ever.  #9 SUPERMAN #678 - First issue was good so I'm still on board. #10 W...

I need to spend less money on comics. For real. #1 BOOSTER GOLD #1,000,000 - I gave my brother Sam the issues up to this one and he has no knowledge of DC history and he loved it. Thats how good this series is.  #2 GREEN ARROW BLACK CANARY #10 - I like the book but I want this story line to wrap up. So we can see some Deathstorke or some of Green Arrow's new married status quo. #3 JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #17 - Wow It's been 17 issues. Alot has happened yet nothing has happened. Wierd.  #4 FINAL CRISIS REQUIEM #1 - Morrison is sucking hard. The Martian still hasn't gotten his due and this cover is crap.  #5 SECRET INVASION #4 - This series is sucking.  #6 TRINITY #6 - I'm really negative. I stille haven't read issue 4 or 5 but I still like this book. I had no clue it would be better than Final Crisis.  # 7 ACTION COMICS #867 -Johns is the best. Last issue was fantastic jump on this book.  #8 CAPTAIN AMERICA WHITE #0 - Heard good things about this.  #9 HUNTRESS YEA...

Huge week my wallet  mourns. #1 ALL NEW ATOM #25 - This book is ending and it's a shame because this character is great. I hope he gets a JLA roster spot. #2 BLUE BEETLE #28 - I hope this book does not go the way the Atom does this character is gold if someone who reads this blog isn't reading this comic you should be a shamed and you're really missing out. #3 DYNAMO 5 #14 - I love this book. It's original and fun. I highly recommend it for all readers. #4 AVENGERS INVADERS #3(OF 12) - I like the premise of this issue and can't wait to see which Namor wins my money os on the young one.  #5 WAR THAT TIME FORGOT #3(OF 12) - I like this book it has me a little confused but it feels like lost but more sci-fi. #6 TRINITY #5 - They're not disappointing. #7 BATMAN #678 RIP - I don't understand what's happening.  #8 STAR TREK YEAR FOUR ENTERPRISE EXPERIMENT #3 - I like this comic the art is great and the story is sol...

This series is starting off  strong.  BOOSTER GOLD #10  Go! IRON MAN LEGACY OF DOOM #3 (OF 4) No! The totally out of character writing of Doom is frustrating. Writers nowadays right Do...
