Weekly Comics Discussion – July 15, 2009

As usual, the complete list is available here.

Dark Horse Comics

  • STAR WARS CLONE WARS #7
  • STAR WARS KNIGHTS OLD REPUBLIC #43 REAPING PT 1 (OF 2)

DC Comics

  • ACTION COMICS #879
  • BATMAN #608 SPECIAL EDITION
  • BLACKEST NIGHT #1 OF 8 – This is, bar none, the #1 reading and reviewing priority this week.
  • BLACKEST NIGHT TALES OF THE CORPS #1 OF 3 – A weekly series giving background on various characters. It’ll be reviewed when all three issues are out later this month.
  • BRAVE AND THE BOLD #25
  • FINAL CRISIS AFTERMATH ESCAPE #3 (OF 6)
  • SUPERMAN BATMAN #62
  • TITANS #15 – Blackest Night
  • WEDNESDAY COMICS #2 (OF 12) – I like the idea of having top name creators on a series of comics designed to hearken back to the Sunday funnies in local newspapers, all created by top name artists. I’m less thrilled with pay $3.99US for a few sheets of newsprint, but that’s likely the only way to pay those creators for this work these days.

Marvel Comics

  • AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #599 – Dark Reign, and ending a pretty enjoyable story.
  • BETA RAY BILL GODHUNTER #2 OF 3

  • DARK REIGN MISTER NEGATIVE #2 OF 3

  • ESSENTIAL MARVEL TWO IN ONE TP VOL 03
  • INCOGNITO #5 – This is the #2 reading priority this week.
  • LOCKJAW AND THE PET AVENGERS #3 (OF 4) – I don’t know who’s reading it, but they keep going back to press for multiple printings, so somebody must be.
  • MIGHTY AVENGERS #27
