The full list of shipping comics is, as always,
available here.
Noteworthy items this week include Exiles
#42, Supreme Power #7, and Ultimate
Spider-Man #53, all of which I’ll be picking up.
Other interesting items include Birds of Prey: Of
Like Minds, the trade collecting Gail Simone’s
first arc on the title, the first issues of
Sleeper, Hard Time,
Monolith, and Sandman Presents: Thesaly,
Witch For Hire over at DC, as well as
Born (the collected hardcover) and
Truth: Red White and Black (the trade
paperback) from Marvel. Marvel is also launching the
X-Men Unlimited anthology series and the
Wolverine / Captain America weekly
miniseries.
Supreme Power
Holy cow. I don’t want to have to wait four more weeks
for the next issue in this series. Straczynski and Frank
are still doing great stuff.
Re: Supreme Power
Oo! My comics shop had some of their stuff shipped to Kansas City instead of here (apparently they were surprised, too), so I don’t think they had that in today. I didn’t see it. I was going to go back tomorrow for Monolith, so I guess that’s something else to not forget to pick up.
I’m rather more looking forward to the next issue of Exiles. The Wolverine and Captain America thing is probably a skip for me on future issues — the story makes no sense. None. I’ll give the X-Men anthology another couple of issues, but wasn’t real impressed. I don’t even think it’s the first book by that title, but I could be wrong on that count.
As far as titles you didn’t mention, I grabbed issues of Fused this week and, I think, last (mid to late January, anyway). I’m quite pleased so far, but it’s only on the second issue. I might have to see if I can’t start keeping an eye on Dark Horse’s anthology book.
