Seeing lots of online comic strips posted here, not a lot of discussion about actual comic BOOKS.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
I put up a link to the comics list for last Wednesday, 6/28. If there’s interest I can do it again for next Wednesday, 7/3…
Picked up:
Action #1056 - Never thought I’d bee buying Superman stuff again, but everything since the “Dawn of DC” launch has been really good.
Batman: Brave and the Bold #2 - Oversized anthology book, Joker story from Tom King and Mitch Gerads has been really good.
Cerebus In Hell 6/2023 - Really just a pity buy at this point. It’s not particularly good, but Sim has some major health challenges and if buying it helps him keep the lights on, fine.
Cityboy #2 - Really liking the “We Are Legends” books. This, Spirit World, and The Vigil. Maybe more this and Spirit World than the Vigil.
Green Arrow #3 - See “Dawn of DC” message for Action. All of it has been solid so far.
The Oddly Pedestrial Life of Christopher Chaos #1 - Written and illustrated by people I’ve never heard of, it’s a solid read. Not sure I fully understand it yet. I guess the best way to describe it is Christopher is a Mathemagician. He does stuff with formulas you shouldn’t be able to do. Like a cross between Jenny Quick saying a super speed formula out loud crossed with Doctor Strange.
I can’t say Iiked it enough to put it on my pull list, but I’ll give it a few issues.
Black Bolt by Saladin Ahmed and Christian Ward - Story is nothing special but the art is amazing. Haven’t been reading superhero-style comics for a long while, just getting back into it. Recently discovered Christian Ward and would love recommendations of similar comic artists.
All I want is more Lockjaw in my life. :)
Back in the 70s, Lockjaw and Ben Grimm teamed up all the time! Can we go back to that?
Yes please. I’ve always felt that the Inhuman royal family and Black Bolt in particular were underappreciated and underutilized by Marvel. I guess after that horrible TV series there’s little hope for them in the near future though.
