Whole lotta stuff coming out this week but it seems that most of it is not for me. I hope all of you Bat-fans out there have some extra money lying around because you are going to need it. Nice of DC to drop all of those books in one week. Kind of a dick move if you ask me. Here will be the few things I will be picking up this Wednesday:
Gantz Vol 13
Hack Slash Annual 2010
Hellblazer: City of Demons #1
MGS Peace Walker Snake Play Arts Kai Action Figure
The Unwritten #18
3 indie comics, a manga trade and an action figure. Maybe Marvel and DC proper should start putting out some decent comics. It would be a plus if they didn’t cost $3.99 too.
What are you getting this week?
J.
The CCW*TV Companion Blog 
Damn way more comics than from last week. BTW that is a kick ass looking Solid Snake figure, how much is it.
Adventure Comics #519
Amazing Spider-Man #645
Green Lantern #58
Jonah Hex #60
Superman #703
Superior #1
Retail is like $40.
J.
I would read SUPERIOR for Leinil Yu’s art but I might not. The preview seemed decent actually… still… Millar… always… eh
40 bucks? Despite that price I still really want to get it. When you get the figure could you tell me how good it is Jose?
It’s $40 because it’s an import figure. It’s made by Square Enix and I can tell you it will be of the best quality if it is anything like their Final Fantasy and Bayonetta figures.
J.
IDK about me, I wanna check out Return of Bruce Wayne 5 but I didn’t read the previous ones, So I feel like why bother…
I wanna go for GANTZ 13 since 10-12 were FUCKING EPIC! Good too because I was beginning to question if GANTZ was gonna change or anything and it did and it got SO EPIC!
Sadly NYCC got me kinda broke, so I might need to wait a bit…
I agree with you about Gantz. I really like the spin Oku has put into the game with these “Blue” chapters.
J.
Yeah, after 5, and 6 it felt like it was gonna drag but man 10 hit so hard. Without a doubt, the best work coming out from Dark Horse.
Congratulations on your new avatar Mike. 🙂
J.
haha, did it work? Dear God, I must of spent at least an hour trying to figure this all out >< haha
Now that you got one I think Kuru’s one of the last to convert.

DAMN! That’s a lot of comics. 🙂
J.
Holy shit. Is that you Insideman? 🙂
no, Bboyce.
and I thought my week was big.
I know, but damn you and Insideman must have some pretty deep pockets of cash. 🙂
except all this added together sometimes equals the price of ONE of insideman’s hardcovers.
true, you got a good point there.
thats why i said i spend $100 a month in the last podcast, plus im deep in the whole return of bruce wayne series.
I haven’t listened to the podcast and from what I have heard from numerous people, I don’t know if I want to.
J.
i really can’t tell if it was the real morgan freeman at first it sounded like him but later on was failure. Deemar came on as morgan freeman #2, my microphone worked finally but still had probelms and i joined in at the last 5 mins. trust jose it wasn’t the same without you.
Two problems with the podcast.. Audio is still a problem at times and it needed about 50% more Jose =)
IM
Only 50%? 🙂
J.
Show of hands, how many people have actually SEEN an Electric Company episode? NOT a picture of Morgan Freeman on an Electric Company episode– but an actual full episode.
And You Tube doesn’t count either. 🙂
i watched it all the time my dad loved rita moreno and that director skit and hey you guysssssssssss
and what about naomi?
I think you’ll enjoy it!
* E pissed off Morgan Freeman.
* I save the show from boredom
* Jerwa stopped by
* I was hilarious
You forgot humble too. 😛
lol
point Insideman
🙂
That is a lot of comics =)
So many funny books :O
Oh I’m gonna be outta town for a few days, hopefully I’ll have time to post, but if not fuck it.
🙂
Love it Musky!
I wish I was going to Jamaica.
Just Florida which ain’t so bad
Outta town as in….?
Ah, I see the Florida comment, Nice man! Enjoy the time there! Its perfect time to be there too since its not way fucking hot like summer but still not cold-ish
Unwritten! Love that book. I guess I gotta wait for Vol. 3… 🙂
Superior looks gorgeous, but I can’t stomach Millar anymore. The only books I really enjoyed by him were Ult. 1&2 and American Jesus. In hindsight and after a second read through, American Jesus wasn’t all that good.
Ultimates still holds up, but my gods, Millar hates the Wasp.
Heck, buy Superman: Red Son– You’ll love it… It says Millar wrote it but everybody (including Mark) knows Grant Morrison basically did.
I still believe Mark had a good say in that book. He was a different man in the 90’s. There’s no reason to believe he was a different writer then as well…
I’ve been meaning to check that one out. It’s odd that I haven’t read it, being a big Superman fan. It’s worth the purchase?
Red Son? Sure, if you only ever get one trade from Millar, this is the one to get. It really is a great book, even if your not a big fan of Superman.
IM
i gave red son to a friend of mine who isn’t a comic reader in the slightest and he couldn’t believe how political and good red son was and if you want to get someone a good comic to show comics aren’t for kids definately red son and a superb story
Was this the reason Morrison and Millar stopped collaborating?
I read Red Son and thought it was fucking terrible, personally. I still don’t get why everyone says it’s Millar’s best work. I’ll admit it’s probably his least offensive work, and the premise was interesting.
Anarchist Batman in a Russian winter hat. That’s why.
This is another huge week in Hardcovers and Graphic Novels. 2 weeks ago it was the end of the month DUMP, last week the first of the month dump and now this. Thank goodness were only having a recession comic book companies!

I have some cool links to the a lot of the lesser known GNs and HCs… Plus a couple of beautiful pics of this weeks Christopher Reeve/Superman Bust and the Sinestro Bust: http://wp.me/pZr1Y-1oe
I’m probably going to pick up Sickness in the Family. The Vertigo Crime imprint is one of the better things coming out of DC these days. Plus Denise Mina is a pretty solid writer (anyone remember her short run on Hellblazer?).
Yes, I do. I was tying to remember where I read her name. Thank you. Sounds even better now. 🙂
My backlist is something like this too.
Batman Return of Bruce Wayne #5 (I call bullshit on this one)
Amazing Spider-Man #645 (And Here we go again)

Invincible Iron Man #31 (Issue 500 here I come I say with mild enthousiasm)
New Avengers #5 (Sadly..Just for the art)
Strange Tales II #1 (Funny stuff)
Superior #1 (Just too curious to pass on this one)
Thanos Imperative #5 (Overall the Marvel space saga is pretty decent)

Batman Return of Bruce Wayne #5
Bruce Wayne the Road Home Batgirl #1
Bruce Wayne the Road Home Batman & Robin #1
Bruce Wayne the Road Home Red Robin #1
Knight & Squire #1
Unwritten #18
Invincible Iron Man #31
But you gotta catch ’em all, Stamps! 🙂
J.
I know, what was I thinking! 😛
im just happy she gave a shout out to my favorite batbook batgirl last thread
Hey what’s up guys? This week I’ll be getting:
Knight and Squire 1
Thor 616
Small week but I have high hopes for both these books. Last month’s Thor was fantastic I hope it continues this month. Also Paul Cornell’s writing Knight and Squire could this book have a small taste of Captain Britain and MI:13? Let’s hope so or at least it’s on par with his run on Action Comics. I’m willing to check out issue 1 since it is only $2.99
It’s captain britain in the DC universe
yeah that’s I’m pretty excited about I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
small week for me
asm 645
return of bruce wayne 5
shadowland 4
might pick up a trade, up for suggestions if anyone has one
Even though I stop buying marvel comics years ago, The only thing I want from marvel Is the the Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe one-shot. Maybe some dark horse or image trades.
I’ll bite the bullet and pick up Superior #1.
Invaders Now #2 for Cage.
Maybe Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne #5
DC Comics Presents Batman/Catwoman
Green Lantern #58
Superman #703
Am I the only one here who likes the Grounded storyline in Supes? It seem like I am.
I like it as well.
I don’t hate it, but its boring overall. Not worth a trade for sure.
ive liked it too.
bprd hell on earth 3
amazing spiderman
GLC emerald knights 3
superman 703(fuck you jms. this is your last chance )
return of bruce wayne.5
roadhome batman and robin
tiny titans(this comic is so good)
Amazing Spider-Man #645
Batman: Return of Bruce Wayne #5
Invincible Iron Man #31
Shadowland #4
Thor #616
maybe: Strange Tales 2 #1 (isn’t this comic like $4.99?? ouch, might wait for it to hit the dollar bin)
Wow, So Bruce Wayne is still not back but were getting the aftermath of the miniseries already. Way to drop the ball DC. After all the delays I can;t say that I even care anymore about the Return of Bruce Wayne, and I definitely dont care about these lousy one shots.
anyway, heres what I’ll be getting:
Return of Bruce Wayne #5
Knight & Squire #1
Justice League: Generation Lost #11
Thor #616
Strange Tales #1
and I may try to catch up on Irredeemable, I read the first trade awhile back and really enjoyed it but have never gotten around to checking out more of the series.
IDK what’s wrong with me. I really wanna check out SUPERIOR… IDK it just seems like it might be decent. I LOVE Leinil Yu and the plot isn’t the worst to come from Mark. He was once a decent writer but IDK… after the wave of seeing BENDIS get good, is it possible?
*_*
For anyone who may still not know– I saw Didio and Lee on vid from NYCC confirming what we discuseed all along:
All the DC BACK UP features would be finished as mini-series, one-shots… Whatever. And the most popular ones will get their own series.
cool, I hope they make The Atom co-feature in Adventure Comics into an ongoing.
I’ve got 11 BRAND NEW Hardcover and Graphic Novels reviews up on the Blog… Plus I call out the WORST Graphic Novel I have read in 50 to 10 YEARS!

Good post dude!
The best thing about Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne #5 is that Ryan Sook could only be bothered to draw half of the book. No wonder it’s late. Fucking hell…
J.
Is it me or does this sort of thing seem to be happening more and more. Artist not being able or not willing to put forth the effort to complete the artwork on a book is just not something I remember happen back in the day. or am I just looking at the past with rose colored glasses?
IM
The funny thing is when DC announced that Sook was drawing issue 5 I KNEW there was no way in hell he would do the whole thing. And I’ll bet you dollars to donuts that DC sure as hell knew that as well.
J.
Wow really?…..The book is what two months late and the artist still can’t finish one book.
That is ridiculous
Agreed.
J.
If you guys like Sean Murphy’s art on Joe the Barbarian you may want to pick up his new book Hellblazer: City of Demons #1 tomorrow.
J.
Damn, maybe I should drop ROBW tomorrow and get that instead… I feel like Grant’s fading with me. Mainly an industry thing. He’s a creator-owned kind of guy really…
Considering what is coming out tomorrow, it will definitively be worth a look see..
Thanks for the heads up Jose!
IM
You are welcome IM. 🙂
J.
Shameless self promotion time, here’s me bitching about so many titles for some of my favorite characters: http://themspot1313.wordpress.com/2010/10/10/random-comic-book-thought-37/
Here’s what I’ll be buying:
-Knight & Squire#1 (Paul Cornell mini can’t go wrong)
-Invincible Iron Man#31
-Superior#1 (I must admit I’m curious about this the preview was decent and the art is GORGEOUS)
I KNOW RIGHT??? I’m so curious about SUPERIOR too, but his previous work proved he has no brain. So I can’t buy it. But I am definitely gonna flip thru it at the store.
Anyone know if Green Lantern has picked up? I stopped after BN so I’m curious, Johns was definitely a decent writer in the past…
I like the current story arc involving Larfleeze and Hammond, it’s actually pretty funny, yet also kind of creepy.
