Wednesday Comics 11.19.09-12.09.09
Wow! Â Lot’s of stuff going on the last few weeks for me personally but I’ve just gotten a chance to dig into my stack. Â Here we go…
King City #3 by Brandon Graham – $2.99
I have been interested to check out more from Mr.Graham based on this book. Â King City’s got lots of word play and imagination.
Empowered: The Wench With A Million Sighs by Adam Warren – $3.99
I pretty much like everything Adam Warren has ever done so when he does his own book based on a character he created after doing a ton of cheesecake sketches at cons I had to pick it up. Â (There are actually 5 volumes of this that exist besides this single issue 1-shot.)
Spider-Man & The Secret Wars #1 (of 4) by Tobin, Scherberger, Pallot and Anderson – $2.99
The first of a mini-series of deleted scenes/retellings from the original Secret Wars story from the 80′s. Though it is part 1 of 4 this is a pretty self contained story about Spider-Man learning to trust The Hulk who now has Bruce Banner’s mind. Â Captain America is also prominently featured. Â I know there is a lot of back story with the secret war and all but they explain it pretty quickly and move on to a more character driven plot. Â I will likely pick up the rest of the series.
Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #5 by Bendis, Lafuente and Ponsor – $3.99
Peter is rescued from Mysterio by the mysterious “girl pretending to do a boy’s voice in a red hood thingy”. Â Meanwhile someone has been secretly squatting at Kitty Pryde’s house and it looks like there is going to be some modern “amazing friends” style action coming soon.
The Muppet Show #0 by Robert Langrioge and Sherri Paroline – $2.99
The Muppet Comics have been perhaps the best Muppet thing in the last decade.
Ghostbusters: Past, Present and Future by Rob WIlliams and DIego Jourdan – $3.99
If Scrooge had a proton pack A Christmas Carol would probably have a very different ending…
