One of these books will be the Pick of the Week!

BATMAN #665
CHECKMATE #14
COUNTDOWN 50
EX MACHINA #28
FLASH THE FASTEST MAN ALIVE #12
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #9
FALLEN SON DEATH OF CAPTAIN AMERICA CAPTAIN AMERICA
MIGHTY AVENGERS #3
ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #109
ULTIMATE X-MEN #82

On the fence about: ULTIMATES 2 #13 (It’s been like two years and I don’t remember the story at all, but it is the last issue…)

Dropped: ALL STAR BATMAN AND ROBIN THE BOY WONDER #5 (I want to read this but I cannot in good conscience support a book this late – and yes, I see the disconnect between what I wrote about this and what I wrote about ULTIMATES 2 #13… That being said, I’ll probably get the trade when it is released in 2018)

Bonus Question: Right now the sound I hear is Regina Spektor singing to me.

    I can’t believe Ultimates 2 #13 is finally being released! I’m going to have to reread that whole series in preparation!

    BONUS: the constant, annoying click of a pen. I should probably stop clicking this pen.

    I might get The Ultimates. I’m pretty on the fence about it. I mean the TPB will be out in a bit. I’ve waited this long.

    All I hear is Barton Fink. “Just tell us one thing Fink. Where’d ya put the heads?”

    Between LOCAL, FABLES, EX MACHINA, X-FACTOR, and WASTELAND that’s pretty much the best week of floppies I’ve ever seen. In fact, I’m kind of pissed at how good it is because I like to have my upper-tier books spread out better. I coulda used one or two last week. Fourteen books and none I really got much out of except for Y: TLM and DMZ.

    Oh well, can’t win them all.

    Well it seems to be the week of books that have taken more than a year or two to come out. With: ALL STAR BATMAN AND ROBIN THE BOY WONDER #5 and ULTIMATES 2 #13

    I know some people aren’t buying these on principal but I really don’t get that? If you enjoy the book that’s all that matters. I have so many other books that I enjoy monthly it?s kind of fun to have these books like a yearly special, I know the argument for this is most people don’t remember the story up to this point and I understand that. I have quite a good memory when it comes to remembering comic book stories from years back so it doesn’t matter much for myself I could see the difficulty for other people.
    Either way I’m really looking forward to these books 🙂

    As for the bonus question I’m listening to the latest Kaiser Chiefs album that I downloaded off itunes, it’s pretty good!

    Conor I hear you on ASBAR. I hung in there for 4 issues but I’ve had it with this title. To me, this book represents everything wrong with comics when it comes to books being delayed.

    Right now I hear the sound of cars going by outside my office window.

    I think there was an issue of Ultimates last fall. The team had just finished with the invaders and Loki had opened up Hell or Hades or whatever. I’m excited. Dare I ask? How long before Volume three starts?

    I am hearing air conditioning.

  20. ALL STAR BATMAN AND ROBIN THE BOY WONDER #5
    COUNTDOWN 50
    ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #109
    ULTIMATES 2 #13

    I’m still on the fence about following Countdown, but I’ll probably give it a few weeks. I have no idea what’s happening in the Ultimates 2 story, but I remember enjoying the book. Ditto ASB&R.

    I’m a little surprised the next installment of Ultimate Hulk vs. Wolverine didn’t join this ultra-delayed group.

    Bonus: my daughter making noises as she feeds. What a lovely sound.

  21. Ah…a nice light week for me this week. Can’t wait to read some of these…

    I might (and it’s a big MIGHT) buy the Mouse Guard Hardcover, but there’s vacations to plan this summer and only so much money to go around.

    I’m intereseted to see where Grant Morrison’s going to take Batman, but this series is on the fence for me because the last issue didn’t make any sense. My fingers are crossed…

    Bonus: Right now, I hear the sound of two of my teaching colleagues talking shop. Then, it’s off to my first hour.

    X-FACTOR #19

    This might well be the last week for Moon Knight. I want to like it, but I just don’t. I was surprised to see ASBAR shipping. I stopped reading it after #2. It was laughably bad. I thought someone at DC had come to their senses and cancelled it. The horse is dead and it seems DC has stopped beating it only to try lighting it on fire.

    Bonus question: Sounds of me typing and a co-workers phone conversation.

    ULTIMATE X-MEN VOL 16 CABLE (Just got turned onto the UXM trades; that’s some pretty good stuff)

    ASB&R hasn’t been out in so long, never mind forgetting the story; I literally don’t remember if I was reading it. I’m not saying I actively wish nobody would buy the Ultimates… but if that happened, it sure would be interesting.

    Bonus Question: as is usually the case during the day, I’m hearing one of the podcasts in my massive backlog.

    Right now, I hear ESPN radio, which is not something I’ve chosen, rather my office mate decided he would listen to it all day every day. My ear buds and I have become fast friends.

    In my head, I hear “Can’t Buy Me Love” as I’ve had Beatles songs in my head non-stop since I started reading the giant Bob Spitz Beatles biography a couple weeks back. I would like that to stop as well.

    Looks to be a pretty good week. Really I’m going to have to read 12 comics on top of this so I can remember what the hell is going on in the final issue of Ultimates 2.

    I’m listening to my computer’s fan desperately trying to keep working. Thanks for nothing, IT guys who “fixed” it last week.

  35. also, the Mouse Guard hardcover… missed that in the shipping list

  36. Have the 300 soundtrack playing on my ipod in the office.

    X-FACTOR #19

    A light week. I may pick up the second X-Factor trade so I can actually start reading the single issues I’ve bought…

    And all I can hear is the hum of my desktop.

  39. Action Comics 849 (if this is Donner/Johns, my God how long is this arc going to take?)

    It’s not Donner/Johns. It was announced a while back that that storyline is being moved over to Annuals.

  40. MOON KNIGHT #10 (I don’t care what anyone says, I think Moon Knight is fucking awesome!)

    I’m right there with you I really liked the first arc and now the Civil War stuff is gone it’s really starting to pick up.

    I’ve heard people say they don’t like it but I haven’t heard any reasons why they don’t like it. It’s been pretty decent other than the Civil War stuff what exactly is wrong with it?

  41. It’s not Donner/Johns. It was announced a while back that that storyline is being moved over to Annuals.

    It’s really a crime that only one of DC’s big properties is being handled ewll (Action Comics- crappy one-shots and b-stories, Superman- crazy Busiek, Wonder Woman- very mixed feelings, JLA- doesn’t make any sense.) Batman and Detective are amazing (when their regular teams are on, and now that 52 is done, Morrison is back on schedule while Dini shouldn’t have too much of a problem since he’s basicaly a story editor for Countdown)

    DC puts out great comics (Manhunter, Checkmate, Teen Titans, Robin, Green Lantern, JSA, Countdown and The Spirit) , but just not under the banner of the JLA, Superman or Wonder Woman,

  42. Glad to know I’m not alone with the Moon Knight love. Hell, I didn’t even mind the CW stuff (though it was a little annoying that it couldn’t be out at the same time as CW).

    I recall people saying “nothing’s happening!” with regards to the first arc, but that’s it. Personally, I just think folks missed the point.

    I suppose I shouldn’t be too rabid, though. I do seem to be one of the few people out there that doesn’t think Checkmate is particularly interesting or good. (Which is sad, ’cause I really liked the old Checkmate…)
