Comic Reviews for 7/25/12

Since I put out two weeks of comic reviews last time, and won’t be getting any this week because of my own personal circumstances, I decided not to rush getting the last week of July’s thoughts online. As for the end of the month, I still argue with myself on staying on a title or not, some titles take an odd turn, and Deadpool continues to be one of the best.

I’m a little late at getting this up, but circumstances kept me busy with other things. The final week of the month had some promising starts to upcoming storylines. Last week we saw what the Van Helsings are, what Tony Stark’s plan was, and the return of Gregg Hurwitz to Batman.

I’m finally caught up on the issues I missed last week, and I included those reviews below; that’s why this week’s list is so big. As for the new books, I checked out a few more independent #1s from Valiant, Image, and Boom!, DC’s Earth 2 books continue to impress me, and three of my favorite comics came out as well. Overall, a really good week.

Comic Reviews for 5/23/12

Another week with a new writer on one of my favorite books that delivers a great first issue, we see Deadpool with his new look and powers, and I check out the first issue of a new monster book from IDW. In general, lots of good stuff from last week!

Comic Reviews for 5/16/12

Aside from Avengers Academy, I read all my independent titles first this week, finding them much more enjoyable lately, although the “Big 2” still have some good stories coming out. I also decided this week that I’m done with Blue Beetle since I find the story and changes to that character disappointing. That said, this week continued Night of the Owls, which I have nothing to say about this week, Marvel’s Exiled crossover continues to be lots of fun, and Avengers vs X-men heats up.

Listed below are brief reviews of last week’s comics where I discuss elements of the stories I like. It was a busy week, but since it was my birthday, I’ll take it as a present from the comic book industry. Two DC crossover/tie-in events are in full swing, Captain America and the Punisher are kicking ass, and I’m glad I decided to check out one more issue of Supreme.

Comic Reviews for 05/02/12

Another week of comics looked at here, and since all of them were exciting, it didn’t take me long to get them all read. This week’s worth of comics started exciting things like Earth 2 in DC Comics, more of Night of the Owls, and the next wave of Valiant comics. I also checked out Daredevil outside of its crossover with other Marvel books, I began another Marvel crossover, and Avengers vs X-men heats up.

Comic Reviews for 04/25/12

I’m a bit late in getting this up, but I’ve been busy procrastinating lately   This Saturday is also Free Comic Book Day at comic stores all over the country, so I’ll include what I pick up and check out the week after.  As for the end of April comics, I picked up a few disappointments that I wish to share my thoughts on briefly, a couple crossovers had their final issues come out, and one of those crossovers had every issue be my favorite for the last three weeks!

Comic Reviews for 04/18/12

Unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it, I’m beginning to drop more titles from DC Comics. Last week, I decided to drop Action Comics, Stormwatch, and Deathstroke, even though I said this past month I’d be staying on them all for at least another issue. However, circumstances have made it easier to drop them now instead of waiting. For last week’s comics, Night of the Owls began in two of the Batman books, I checked out The Shadow, and I decided to drop another DC Comics title.

Comic Reviews for 04/04/12

Last week was a good week, and I wrote a brief review looking at each issue’s story for every issue I picked up but three. This week, we had Avengers vs X-men kick off with its first issue, I picked up a fair amount of Image comics, and I include two digital-first comics I purchased last Wednesday.
