Here's what awaits me once I make my way to the LCS:

The WHAT IF intrigues me.

CATWOMAN #4

PLASTIC MAN #5

Wildstorm: Michael Cray #12 - Last issue. Fun series but suffered from bad art.

My Heroes Have Always Been Junkies - Always glad to see new work from the Brubaker/Phillips team. An original hardcover graphic novel at that, albeit a shorter one. 

Outside the big guns, Hawkman and Aquaman were my favourites as a kid. And I suppose some might debate whether they were and are big guns.

DC: Superman #4.

IMAGE: Oblivion Song #8.

MARVEL: Captain America #4; Ms. Marvel #35.

Star Wars Adventures: Tales from Vader's Castle #2 - The first issue was fun, I'll finish out the 5 issues.

Superman #4 - I really am surprised I'm liking this book...

On the Back Issue Front:

Dracula Lives #3 - October 1973 Issue, the Neal Adams cover pulled me in...

I haven't gotten to the new issue, Robbie but I have to admit that its a book I enjoy every month. And I'm not even a Bryan Hitch fan! I feel that Carter Hall's job as an archaeologist comes across as very Indiana Jones-ish. 

And after reading the Avengers, I'm done.

I'm catching up on IMMORTAL HULK. That book must be fortnightly. Unless the months are going by really quickly. It feels like it's coming out every 2 week.

*****

I thought the story was great but I had major problems with the coloring. After years of seeing Bettie Breitweiser doing wonderful colors for Sean Phillips art, his son's colors just seemed sort of bad and wrong to me. Makes me wonder if her not being on the colors is a political decision since she's been closely associated with Comicsgate, with her husband being one of the group's most well known members. I certainly hope not, because even though I don't agree with a conservative viewpoint, I don't think people should be hired and fired based on their political viewpoint. That is unAmerican. 

This week: OBLIVION SONG #8

Dont get to pick up every week so also picked up:
MAGIC ORDER #4
WALK THROUGH HELL #5
Also picked up Doomsday Clock 1 - not as bad as I thought!

Edited due to spelling

Coates has, for my money, proven to be a very boring writer on Black Panther. While his Cap run has been good, it's four issues in and is starting to feel a little drawn out with this story arc. I think Aaron and Bendis are the same type of writer where they fall in love with their own dialogue that they don't write the characters as they have been traditionally written. Captain America and Superman are my two favorite characters so Coates and Bendis have my eternal optimism that they'll keep me interested (plus they have great artists on board). I may wind up dropping Captain America and Superman/Action Comics in the next few months but for right now, I'm satisfied. My problem with Aaron is the same that I had with Bendis on the Avengers: they have to make sure they get all their bits in and the characters often don't "sound" like themselves while they exchange clever conversation. There's a scene with Thor and Iron Man involving sushi while they're fighting Atlanteans that completely took me out of the scene but you just know that Aaron probably thought "This is hilarious!". I had the same issue with his Thor. I think team books are especially bad with Bendis and Aaron. I will buy his Conan with the hopes that he doesn't fall in love with his dialogue and will treat the Cimmerian properly.
