Weekly Comics Discussion – October 26, 2011

The complete list of titles is available here.

Dark Horse Comics

  • ABE SAPIEN DEVIL DOES NOT JEST #2
  • ANGEL & FAITH #3
  • STAR WARS CRIMSON EMPIRE III EMPIRE LOST #1 (OF 6)

DC Comics

  • ALL STAR WESTERN #2 – This highly enjoyable series is not actually a western. Instead, it’s a mystery very much in the line of “Sherlock Holmes hunts Jack the Ripper” that just happens to be set in western era Gotham. I highly recommend it. Definitely one of the most pleasant surprises of the New 52.
  • AQUAMAN #2 – Another pleasant surprise.
  • BATMAN THE DARK KNIGHT #2
  • BLACKHAWKS #2
  • FLASH #2
  • FURY OF FIRESTORM THE NUCLEAR MEN #2
  • GREEN LANTERN NEW GUARDIANS #2
  • I VAMPIRE #2
  • JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK #2
  • LEGION SECRET ORIGIN #1 (OF 6) – In the new continuity, it doesn’t appear Clark Kent was ever Superboy. Thus, the Legion needs a new origin, according to many.
  • SAVAGE HAWKMAN #2
  • SUPERGIRL #2 – This is, officially, the first late title of the New 52.
  • SUPERMAN #2
  • TEEN TITANS #2
  • VOODOO #2 – Another surprisingly strong title.

  • COBRA ONGOING
  • GI JOE OMNIBUS TP VOL 01

  • 2000 AD #1754 – Britain’s sci-fi anthology has been on a weekly schedule for years. And people griped about Action going back to #1? Yes, Action was North America’s longest running comic, but that’s like comparing North America’s longest running sci-fi (Stargate SG1, ten seasons) to Doctor Who…
  • CHARMED #15
  • GAME OF THRONES #2
  • INCORRUPTIBLE #23
  • PLANET OF THE APES #7
