I had to get my new comics a day late this week. I haven’t gotten a chance to read them yet, but this is what I got.
New comics Wednesday! Here are my additions this week, with 2 that I missed last Wednesday. I’ve read all of them except the Orchid issue, which I only grabbed because 1. It was only $1.00, and 2. It’s written by Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine. However, everything else has been top-notch. The #2 issues of DC’s New 52 books have all been fantastic, building upon what was established in the #1’s. I hope this trend continues!
New comics from Wednesday that I forgot to post about last week. All of them are very solid, with Justice League stepping up its game from last issue. Wonder Woman is also very, very awesome. Brian Azzarello has yet to write something I didn’t like. Scott Snyder is probably the best Batman writer in the past 10 years. Seriously. That guy is going to be heralded as one of the greats someday.
Last week’s comics discussion/podcast was taken from Coffee Cartel in the Central West End with Patches joining to discuss his take on the New 52. Amy helped us understand a bit more about LOCKE & KEY, Joel B. showed us all Darwyn Cooke’s PARKER series, and Joel C. and I talked about the recurring themes in Geoff Johns’ ongoing GREEN LANTERN run. We also talked about BEFORE WATCHMEN: THE MINUTEMEN #3! Download above and listen! Then sound off with any feedback.
This week’s NerdNight discussion is available for download. This time around, we all talked about the best and worst of the first year of DC Comics NEW 52, then transition into a long talk about the importance of GREEN LANTERN #0. I give my take on DETECTIVE COMICS #0, and Amy welcomes us into the world of FAIREST. Then, the Joels (Joel Castleberry and Joel Samson Berntsen) do a little one-on-one review of HAWKEYE #2. We round out the night with our usual discussion of BEFORE WATCHMEN, this time focusing on SILK SPECTRE #3. Enjoy!
John Deer as fuck.
