Here are three comics I can’t wait to get my hands on tomorrow:
Bravest Warriors #1
Part of Boom!’s growing Adventure Time line of books, mostly I just want to pick this up because it’s always nice to hear a comic is severely underordered and a publisher is rushing desperately to meet demand. That’s a problem I wish more publishers had.
National Comics: Madame X
The National Comics reboot, kind of a DC Presents but with one-shots, has been a bit spotty. The Kid Eternity book hinted that somebody in DC editorial really missed Pushing Daisies, but Looker was a lot better than the concept of “bitchy supermodel vampire detective” had any right to be. So I’ll be curious to see what they do with Madame Xanadu, especially since she’s also in Demon Knights and Justice League Dark.
Let’s Play God… #1
Granted that the “punky female protagonist” is an annoying cliche in comic books, if for no other reason than half of them obviously exist because the writer really wants to sleep with a Suicide Girl, but I do like the concept of a murder mystery set in the punk rock scene, and the title hints heavily that there’s way more to this than just a serial killer. That the title is actually written by a woman, Brea Grant, also gives the “punky female protagonist” thing a bit more legitimacy.
What comic are you most looking forward to next week? Let us know, and let’s talk some comics.




maybe Talon #1
Dancer TP
maybe AvX Consequences #3 (I picked up the first 2, not terrible)
Crossed #16
Extermination #5
Walking Dead Magazine #1
I was promised Cyclops getting stabbed. AvXC had better deliver.
Dan, I was wondering if you have covered Brian K Vaughn’s “Saga” here? Just had a friend put volume one in front of me and got hooked with a quickness.
I’ve read a couple of issues. I liked it, but it wasn’t really my thing.
Fair enough, but did you at least enjoy “Y The Last Man”? Because judging from the first volume, I think this is going to be every bit as epic. Especially if Fiona Staples stays on for the entire run. Fantastic illustrator that girl.

Oh, I love “Y”, and Fiona Staples is great. It’s a good book, it just didn’t hit the sweet spot for me. I may pick it up in trades.
Saga’s been excellent so far. amazing sci-fi/fantasy stuff that not too many people are doing nowadays.
A babies VS X babies (promises to be infinitely better than the proper crossover)
Multiple Warheads
Bravest Warriors (Read a preview and it looks pretty good)
I’m currently working my way through Adventure Time, and I’ve got to say… the comics are way more appropriate for kids than the actual show. HOLY CRAP.
