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.

It’s been a few weeks since I did this, but now I’ve got some reviews written, and instead of doing the two late weeks separately, I’ve done them together. After all, lots of good stuff came out, and I read through the two weeks very quickly once they arrived. During that time, my two favorite series had new issues, many stories concluded, and Tribbles arrived on the scene in the new Star Trek universe!

I’ve ended up dropping well-over half of my pull list to make ends meet. This may be a blessing since it has caused me to drop a lot of titles I continued to purchase out of loyalty instead of enjoyment, so I’ll likely be entering a new state of fandom. However, I don’t foresee this problem lasting too long, and it’s possible I’ll be picking up a handful of more titles as soon as a month. In the digital age, it will be easy for me to get caught up with the stories online, but as a collector, I’ll be disappointed to see holes in my collection. But it can’t be helped. As for this week’s comics Deadpool continues to struggle with his new powers, Ultimate X-men’s new writer outlines his plan, and one title I planned to drop got itself back on the list with its latest issue.

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.

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.

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 04/11/12

Over the weekend, as I read comics and began to formulate what I’d say about each, I came across a quote that mentioned promoting what you love instead of talking about what you hate. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I hate any story, just dislike directions of them, but I’ve decided to embrace this idea. Nevertheless, there are still issues I don’t have anything really to say but still enjoyed the story, so don’t write off the comics listed at the end as me not liking it. With that said, last week was the conclusion of a couple story arcs, Image continues to entertain me with their new series, and my faith in one title was restored in 20 pages.

Comic Reviews for 03/28/12

It’s Wednesday, which means more new comics are out and that I better get last week’s finished and reviewed by giving my brief thoughts on their stories. I had planned to have this done yesterday, but I felt terrible and didn’t get much of anything done but nap. This week saw the final or penultimate issues of a miniseries or regular series, a crossover that had both the first and second parts come out in the same week, and I consider some editor choics when presenting crossovers.
