Every Tuesday Pete and Dave sift through the Diamond Comics shipping list and pick out our favourites. It’s always a good time. Check back often as they update pretty sporadically as stuff pops into their heads.
BPRD 1947 #4 (OF 5) GANTZ TP VOL 07 (MR) HELLBOY WILD HUNT #7 (OF 8) KULL TP VOL 01 SHADOW KINGDOM MISTER X CONDEMNED TP STAR WARS INVASION #0 ONE SHOT (OSW) ABSOLUTE DEATH HC (MR) ACTION COMICS #882 ADVENTURE COMICS #3
David: I’ve been really digging Adventure Comics, especially the great artwork by Manapul even though the story doesn’t feel like it has hit its stride yet.
AIR TP VOL 02 FLYING MACHINE (MR) BATGIRL #3 BATMAN #691 BATMAN CHRONICLES TP VOL 08 BATMAN FAMILY MULTI PART STATUE PART 1 BLACKEST NIGHT #1 (OF 8) 3RD PTG BLACKEST NIGHT BATMAN #1 (OF 3) 3RD PTG BLACKEST NIGHT BATMAN #2 (OF 3) 2ND PTG BLACKEST NIGHT BATMAN #3 (OF 3) BLOOD AND WATER TP (MR)BOOSTER GOLD #25 DETECTIVE COMICS ANNUAL #11 DMZ #46 (MR) $2.99 FABLES #89 (MR) FINAL CRISIS AFTERMATH ESCAPE #6 (OF 6) GREEN ARROW BLACK CANARY #25 GREEN LANTERN CORPS #41 (BLACKEST NIGHT) HEAVY LIQUID TP NEW PTG (MR)
Pete: One of my favourite graphic novels of all time, Paul Pope blends in a typical detective plot with drug use, art as a drug and thugs wearing halloween masks. It’s all pretty much just an awesome story and Pope’s art is really a big draw here, as he goes buckwild doing some fantastic backgrounds.
HOUSE OF MYSTERY HALLOWEEN ANNUAL #1 (MR) JLA IC CLASSICS BATMAN ACTION FIGURE JLA IC CLASSICS FLASH ACTION FIGURE PI JLA IC CLASSICS GREEN ARROW ACTION FIGURE JLA IC CLASSICS SUPERMAN ACTION FIGURE JSA VS KOBRA #5 (OF 6) JUSTICE LEAGUE CRY FOR JUSTICE #3 (OF 7) 2ND PTG JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE HC REBELS #9 RED HERRING #3 (OF 6)
Pete: I don’t know if I’m the only person out there who’s enjoying this series so far, but I am. It doesn’t hurt that the art’s by the always amazing Phillip Bond. The plot is kind of out there.. but it’s pretty.
RED ROBIN #5 SCALPED #32 (MR)
David: I really wish more people were reading this series. It’s got a great original twist on the undercover agent idea and every issue is just gold. SECRET SIX #14
David: Another one of DC’s series that remains truly under read. Gail Simone does a great job with these characters from the Villains United story in that she makes us care about these guys even though they’re villains.
SHIELD #2 STORMWATCH PHD WORLDS END TP SUPER FRIENDS #20 TITANS #18 TRINITY TP VOL 03 UNWRITTEN #6 (MR) WONDER WOMAN 1/6 SCALE FIGURE ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN #19 G-MAN CAPE CRISIS #3 (OF 5) GODLAND #29 HECTOR PLASM TOTENTATZ (ONE SHOT) (RES) PERHAPANAUTS HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR (ONE SHOT) WALKING DEAD #66 (MR) WITCHBLADE ANGELUS DARKNESS BLOOD ON SANDS SGN EDITION WITCHBLADE ANNUAL 2009 SGN ED ANITA BLAKE VH GUILTY PLEASURES COMPLETE ED HC DAREDEVIL RETURN OF KING TP
Pete: For trade waiters such as myself this is pretty much the greatest thing in the world. DD is my favourite title and while it’s sort of sad to see Brubaker leave, I’m very much looking forward to what Diggle has up his sleeve. (especially when he twitters about writing scenes where 100 ninjas are up against 100 members of the NYPD.)
David: Every comic reader should have every Daredevil trade from the Bendis run and on in their collection!
DEADPOOL #15 2ND PTG MEDINA VAR DEADPOOL #900 DEADPOOL #900 JOHNSON VAR (PP #884) ENDERS GAME COMMAND SCHOOL #2 (OF 5) GENEXT UNITED #5 (OF 5) INCREDIBLE HERCULES #136
David This is possibly the funniest Marvel book being put out alongside Deadpool. Hercules never fails to amaze, though I find the Amadeus Cho issues to be a little lacking.
