Top five comics shipping this week.

Generation Hope #10 - Phonogram's Kieron Gillen and Hack/Slash's Tim Seeley tell a tale of an innocent becoming a murderer. Probably what this Schism thing is all about.

Wonder Woman And The Furies #3 - seriously see England and Scotland separated by some kind of xenophobic super power.

Butcher Baker Candlestick Maker #2 - Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson on this Lock Stock And Two Smoking Superheroes origin story

Darkwing Duck #15 - essential for cleaning your brain out after reading The Boys.

WE3 Deluxe. Will you pay $25 for those extra ten pages? Course you will. Also a great book to share with your kids. Honest, I just did.

So what are yours?]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10157&Focus=306520#Comment_306520 2011-08-17T09:34:39-07:00 2013-05-23T14:10:17-07:00 Horrible Warning Si http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1223

I had a little thing typed out then realized that this thread isn't quite what I thought it was... This is talking about what came out last Wednesday, not what's coming out next Wednesday. I should ...

Si -- Should I stop putting up the list of comics coming out the following Wednesday? I had always put up the list a few days before they hit the shelves that way if something was coming out that people on here felt others would like they can build a little bit of hype and try to get people to flip through it when they went to the shop and it was still on the "New this Week" shelf instead of talking about it after the Wednesday warriors have already paid out their money. (It's a lot harder to get someone to pick something up after it's already been out for a week.)


For people that have always participated in the "Comics on Sale this Week" threads: (First off, thank you. The last two years has been a lot of fun.)
Click Here to go to the site that I would get the initial list from. (Alphabetically lists everything they're getting that week, including statues, re-orders, stock, etc. and is in capitals.) Usually updated Wednesday or Thursday evening for the upcoming week.
Over Here is where I preferred to get the list from. It separates singles, magazines and trades, as well as it's not all in caps. (Lists only new things they have coming in and they tend to order at least one copy of everything.) Usually updated Saturday or Sunday night.
For the record: You can always check the Diamond list as well, but I found too often they'd list things that weren't coming out for over a week so I'd go in expecting something only to find out I had to wait another week. (Usually it was Avatar comics that they'd list a week early.)]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10157&Focus=306732#Comment_306732 2011-08-19T00:56:00-07:00 2013-05-23T14:10:17-07:00 Horrible Warning Si http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1223

Yep, two threads needed. I never look at what's coming because I love to walk into a comic store and be surprised, but it's nice to have a checklist afterwards to verify I didn't miss anything. ...

Meta4 #5- How'd I miss this? It came out back in May, for god's sake! I'll be gathering up and re-reading 1-4 before cracking the cover, though, because otherwise I'll be badly lost instead of intentionally so by the story.

Fables #whatever- Still not happy with 20 pages, still buying out of habit. It's always a fun read, but I can feel there's something missing without the extra space.

Sergio Aragones' Funnies #2- Sergio! Therefore it gets bought and is also entertaining as hell.

Gladstone's School for World Conquerors #4- A bit of a quieter issue, with more focus on the kids hanging out and less on the larger plots. I'll recommend this series to anyone, easily.

Also, DMZ v.5, which I haven't had time to read yet. I've been combing the corpse of Borders for stuff, and I think that's the final thing I want from what remains of the graphic novel section. The Portland store is picked over pretty clean, and the nearest one beyond it is a 2 hour drive north, so despite getting there while visiting family the other week, its shelves packed with wonderful goodies will remain mostly unmolested by me.

Infinite Kung Fu was sold out what the heeehll

Got some other Top Shelf stuff (ahem, they have a really convincing email service) -

-Homeland Directive: this is really good! It's very into weaving the drama out of mundane details as well as high stakes. Like, I love how the ultimate tool of secret governmental conspiracy is the fictional "Bureau of Consumer Advocacy"

-Any Empire: Really infuses the boy character's experience with a hallucinogenic surreality that is a little scary. Suburban scenes are rendered in the duality of a child's point of view: every corner is teaming with secret pathways and tingling meanings, and at the same time the blandness and flatness hedges in at all corners, claustrophobic and broadly oppressive. Also, an emotional drain to read, even as it is really dazzling. So I haven't gotten too far in it yet.

-Newish Blankets HC reissue: I didn't own this before. Ok, I admit I haven't read it yet either! So, presumably it's good and stuff? Coo.

I looked around all the Super things I haven't been following. This Hickman FF deal was interesting but looked sparse...

Secret Avengers #16 -- I felt like I was missing something not having read the previous 15 issues but afterwards I don't think I did. Ellis dropped me right into the middle of the story. I like it when that happens but I've only really seen it done with a new series as opposed to one that's already established. Great art, good dialogue between the characters, brilliant ideas.
I like the idea of a group of one-shots. I miss when comics use to be like that.

Secret Avengers 16
Ultimate Comics Ultimates #1
Ultimate Hawkeye #1
JL 1
Iron Man 2.0 #8

All were good comics. JL was the most childish of the bunch, but thought it totally did its job of getting readers interested in the JL and being accessible.

The ultimate stuff was great, smart and cerebral reads.

Secret Avengers took two reads to win me over, but was a VERY well constructed comic. The pacing, art , and storytelling is all top notch.

Haven't read it yet, but have been told by many people for much too long that I need to buy it.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10157&Focus=309474#Comment_309474 2011-09-15T22:08:42-07:00 2013-05-23T14:10:17-07:00 James Cunningham http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=2925

I listened to people and picked up Animal Man #1 this week. Definitely worth the recommendation, so thanks. Also, it increases the amount of New DC books I was buying by 100%, to a total of ...

Gladstone's School for World Conquerors #5 hit this week, and I still recommend it to anyone at all. It's such a fun read, and it looks like there's going to be more to it than just the initial story arc.

Ultimate Spider Man #1- ripped off the silly bag and threw it away first thing. Why do they do that? Anyway, I never bought the other Ultimate Spider-Man series in anything but the giant-sized yearly collections, which was a lot of fun. Comparing this to that, there's just a huge amount of ground that's going to need to be re-covered to build up a world as rich as had been created. I'm sure Bendis can do this, I'm just not sure why it's necessary. Oh well, I enjoyed it anyway, plus it'll be nice to have a favorite Bendis book hold to a monthly schedule. I miss Powers, and Scarlett's schedule is a little worrying as well.

I was actually surprised that Criminal: Last of the Innocent #4 was the last issue. For some reason I thought it would be 5 issues. Still, it was a great read as usual and an excellent twist on the usual style.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10157&Focus=309550#Comment_309550 2011-09-16T17:32:22-07:00 2013-05-23T14:10:17-07:00 scs http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=7988

I hadn't intended to pick up Batwoman, but the thing was too goddamned beautiful to resist. Unfortunately I haven't a clue about the backstory, and the forestory is only so-so. We'll see what next ...

Damn, I miss Powers. Can't argue with Bendis doing what he feels like doing, and Marvel is undoubtedly bringing him daily wheelbarrows of cash. With the TV show coming on-line, maybe that'll pull his attention back to it. On the other hand, New Avengers is a guilty pleasure, and I'd hate to see that one go away too.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10157&Focus=309558#Comment_309558 2011-09-16T19:29:33-07:00 2013-05-23T14:10:17-07:00 Beamish http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=8236

Read part of Mr. Terrific, couldn't bring myself to read the rest, pretty terrible. Kinda enjoyed Batwoman, I'll need a little more to render a verdict. I was confused how Green Lantern made it ...

So I liked the character design and general attitude of the new Supergirl, and bought the first issue. I've made better decisions. Supergirl shows up and punches guys in powered armor. Um... ok? ...

Witch Doctor, as I mentioned elsewhere, was awesome.

I'm probably going to enjoy Red Wing more when I gather the four issues together and read them as a single story. I'm not regretting the series at all, but there's a lot of ideas in here and they probably fit together better without the gap between issues.

And a new Fables. I hope the series isn't running out of steam, but I just haven't felt the interest I used to. Almost 10 years is a long time, though.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10157&Focus=310780#Comment_310780 2011-09-29T19:58:45-07:00 2013-05-23T14:10:17-07:00 Beamish http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=8236

Hey folks, I am pretty sure you'd all like Justice League Dark by Peter Milligan and Mikel Janin. So far it is right up there with Animal Man for being the best of the New 52 that I've read. ...

gets torn up pretty bad by flying finger nails and teeth, so that alone is worth the price of admission.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10157&Focus=310791#Comment_310791 2011-09-29T22:56:06-07:00 2013-05-23T14:10:17-07:00 Fishelle http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=8854

Bought the new Kick-Ass issue today. Sometimes I love that comic. Other days, it's just a bit too brutal for me. Today was one of the latter days. I'll probably like it better when reading it again ...

Still, good art, well put together, exactly as expected. A very good comic indeed.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10157&Focus=310795#Comment_310795 2011-09-30T01:08:40-07:00 2013-05-23T14:10:17-07:00 James Cunningham http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=2925

Yeah, this issue of Kick-Ass was way too brutal. I'll finish off the series to give it a chance, because it's been good before, but this issue isn't a story I wanted to read. It's almost like I was ...

Brilliant #1 is interesting, but it didn't really hook me in as much as I'd have liked. I do see the spark of something really good in there, though, so I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes. Plus with art by Mark Bagley, it doesn't seem likely to fall into the Powers/Scarlet trap of two issues per year.

I think I'm the only person on this entire board reading Shanower's Wizard of Oz adaptations. I've no idea why, they're just ridiculously fun.

Secret Avengers was awesome. Obviously. :)]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10157&Focus=310809#Comment_310809 2011-09-30T07:31:03-07:00 2013-05-23T14:10:17-07:00 Warped Savant http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=2376

Secret Avengers #17 -- Great fun, awesome lines, some panels I liked the art, some I didn't. I miss the days of stand-alone issues. Rachel Rising #2 -- Really piquing my interest. A good mystery ...

Rachel Rising #2 -- Really piquing my interest. A good mystery starting up, awesome art because it's Terry Moore. So far I'd suggest this to anyone.

Weren't these threads supposed to be weekly? Not that I mind, I'm just curious...]]>
