Weekly Comics Discussion – May 23, 2007

The complete list is available here.

Dark Horse Comics

  • STAR WARS LEGACY #12

DC Comics

  • BIRDS OF PREY #106 – Gail Simone is wrapping up her run before moving on to Wonder Woman.
  • COUNTDOWN 49
  • ENCYCLOPEDIA OF COMICBOOK HEROES VOL 1 BATMAN
  • MEGATOKYO VOL 5 – The reviews of this series are a couple of volumes behind. If you’re a gamer, you’ll probably really enjoy the humour in these.
  • ROBIN #162
  • SUPERGIRL AND THE LEGION OF SUPER HEROES #30
  • SUPERMAN BATMAN #35
  • SUPERMAN BATMAN VS ALIENS PREDATORS TP
  • WONDER WOMAN #9

Marvel Comics

  • BLACK PANTHER CIVIL WAR TP – Includes issues 19-25, the last four of which were reviewed here. As soon as Black Panther is out of the Fantastic Four, I’ll be dropping the title.
  • CAPTAIN AMERICA #26 – They killed the title character in issue 25. As the denizens of the Buffyverse once sang, where do we go from here?
  • CRIMINAL – This is a great crime series from Ed Brubaker. This starts a new story arc; jump on now if you haven’t already.
  • FANTASTIC FOUR #546 – Still with Storm and T’Challa, though the issue of Previews due to be published next week implies the end of that is in sight.
  • FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #1
  • HEROES FOR HIRE #10 – I jumped on for Civil War, stayed on for the new Tarantula, and will ride it at least through World War Hulk. After that, no promises; the new Tarantula just isn’t getting the attention that I’d hoped for, and the rest of the team just isn’t very interesting.
  • IRREDEEMABLE ANT-MAN #8 – I’ve heard this is funny. The World War Hulk issue (#10) is the only one I currently plan to get, as the samples I’ve read aren’t nearly as funny as Cable and Deadpool usually is.
  • SHE-HULK 2 #18 – Now we get to read the story that was continued two weeks ago.
  • X-MEN #199 – This fall’s big X-event starts here next issue. I’ll be jumping on to the title with this issue, as I suspect it’ll impact Cable and Deadpool and vice versa.
  • X-Babies

  1. "The starship captain was pompous, reckless,and overconfident."

    Star Trek fans will want to buy IDW’s Klingons #2: Blood Will Tell, a fairly amusing retelling of "The Trouble With Tribbles" from the Klingon perspective. It does a decent job of reconciling aspects of TOS and NextGen depictions of Klingons, and also features a cameo by the timewarped Sisko from "Trials and Tribble-ations."
