Really glad you guys touched on, and really enjoyed, Miles Morales and Cyclops. Both of those books were great and it’s really nice to see these books focusing on teen characters.
As for the game –
Daredevil, Saga, Batman, Mind MGMT, The Bunker and an easy pass to everything else (though I’m sure Little Nemo will be added once it comes out).
I really loved the cyclops book. My book of the month would have been Andre the Giant Life and Legend by Box Brown. He did a real good job of depicting his life through the ups and downs of his career even his film career.
I dropped off of The Wake. It really didn’t grab me to begin with. My pick of the Week was Green Arrow #31. Lemire has been been killing it since he took over. Can’t believe you guys didn’t mention it this week. ALso no talk about the awesome debut issue of Nailbiter? Sad.
I’ve loved Lemire’s GREEN ARROW… until this arc. It has me contemplating dropping the book.
Nailbiter didn’t really work for me, but I’ve also reached saturation point with serial killers of late. Not to say I can’t get invested in those stories, but it’s becoming more of an uphill battle.
I dropped Green Arrow. And horror ain’t my bag. Josh Williamson is good though, and if you like that, get it.
Batman, All New Xmen, Chew, The Bunker, Mind Mgmt. Agree that both Image and Marvel are rough.
Glad you guys talked about Swamp Thing, great book since Soule took over. I think it takes pick of the week for me, as I’m still trade waiting the wake.
My game picks
Marvel: Ms. Marvel
DC: Batman
Image: Rat Queens
Dark Horse: Empowered
IDW: Little Nemo
Boom: Lumberjanes
Valient: Quantum and Woody
Dynamite: Red Sonja
Oni Press: The Bunker
Archie: Afterlife with Archie
Do you like Rat Queens? I read issue #1, and was intrigued but not blown away. Worth getting the first trade?
My Game picks:
DC: Green Arrow
MARVEL: Daredevil
Image: Difficult one but I vote Deadly CLASS.
Valiant: Quantum & Woody easily.
IDW: TMNT
VERTIGO:
ONI Press: Bunker
Archie: After Life With Archie
Dark Horse: X
Monkey Brain: D4VE
Actually Mind MGMT for Dark Horse. I forgot that comic is from DH, since I am not caught up yet.
Does Maximum Minimum Wage also contain the 10 issues from volume 2? The Amazon description doesn’t mention it. It’s sort of ridiculous, but the fact that you said it has a bookmark ribbon makes me really want it.
My answers are exactly the same as Conor’s, passes and all, except I’d go with Daredevil.
I’m not sure. I don’t have the book with me, but I think it’s the complete story, given where it leaves off, and the new issues begin.
I love Minimum Wage. The Maximum collection has been sitting in my Amazon basket since I read the first issue of the new series.
Marvel: Captain America
DC: Superman Wonder Woman
Image: Minimum Wage
Dark Horse: Star Wars Legacy
IDW: G.I. Joe (The regular one Van Lente was writing)
Boom: NA
Valiant: XO Manowar
Dynamite: Red Team
Oni Press: NA
Archie: Afterlife
