Finally got around to reading the first 10 issues of the Daken series. He's such a little turd. I kinda enjoy it though.

Guys, Unknown Soldier is incredible. How is there no damn omnibus for this series?
Reading that and Planetary is making this an incredible comics week.

Not the best review for Wolverine #1. Feel like Stegman is not being used the best at Marvel.

I know! I was trying to talk about Planetary yesterday but it got buried. Great stuff so far.
I feel like my brain is being overwhelmed by Unknown Soldier, though. Issue one is one of the hardest hitting introductory issues I've read in a long time.
He should redo all of Ramo's Superior.

Oh shit, are you only on issue 1 man? Haha! You have so much to come! Unknown Soldier literally is incredible. It's one of the few comics I've read that I really feel transcends the medium and should be given to kids at school to teach them things about the world. It is a truly great story that is extremely illuminating.

No healing factor Wolverine is the stupidest shit. Am I in for that once I start pulling Wolverine and the X-men at the relaunch?
I thought WATXM was ending?

It's relaunching in March, isn't it? I've added Amazing X-Men and was going to add WATXM based on recommendations but wanted to wait for the relaunch.
My one exception would be for a gun that shoots claws.
That's next in my pile.
If you can believe it, Unknown Soldier only gets better.
Where are you at in Planetary?

New volume in a few months with Jason Latour on words and Mahmud Asrar on art.

Sir, I am on issue 3! You guys weren't kidding when you said it holds up with every other Vertigo classic. I love the
dual personality angle, especially since the Unknown Solider is an adept fighter so far. The dueling dialogue boxes and representations on panel are done so damn well, and really utilizes the medium perfectly.

If you've seen the covers past the first, you know the answer to that, but I'm not spoiling it here.

Oh shit that's right. Mahmud Asrar is another artist whose style I've fallen absolutely in love with. I'm still pretty salty that he left Supergirl. He did an amazing Kara. Sweet bonus.
I haven't. Simply added it (the relaunch version) to my pull list and forgot about it until recently.

So ever since I've started paying attention to the Comic of the Month voting I felt the need to make the job easier on myself by cataloguing all my lists, so: list.
Man all I can wish for is for some of these books to turn into things I'm totally not into so I can remove some books from this list.

Kubert should be ashamed for that unholy turd. I wonder how many Damian/Batman fans bought that and how they feel about supporting that piece of horseshit.
KoruptData
Member
Yeah, it was a waste of everybody's time and money.
GrandHarrier

I avoided it initially, before reviews, simply on the feeling that I don't want anything else Damian (outside of flashbacks) until his real return. I want to enjoy the quiet melancholy of missing him.
Well guys. I think we all know it's safe to write off this site. Clearly they can't identify good comics.

Ant Colony HC by Michael DeForge and published by Drawn and Quarterly is out this week! OMFG been waiting ages for this. Have a seat, floppies. This will be queued up first. 'Course one could just read the thing for free online if they fancy. But I have to have it. I have to own it. I have to touch it.
If my LCS gets Red Light Properties GN, I might have to snap it up. I'm a sucker for ghost stories and, judging by the previews, it looks rad.
On to the rest of the list:
Shame that y'all are sleeping on Dark Horse
Bloodhound Crowbar Medicine #4 of 5 ('bout to pop off!)
Grindhouse Doors Open at Midnight #5 of 8
Juice Squeezers #2 of 4

Lazarus #6
Drumheller #4
Detective Comics
Green Lantern/Red Lanterns #28
Trillium #6 of 8
DC Comics Presents Harley Quinn #1
Prestigious Others:
Archie #652
Ms Marvel #1
Nice well balanced list.

Is there an overarching story, or is it all one-off strips?

What's a good Absolute edition from DC that you guys recommend? I've never got an oversized book, so I don't know what's series to try it out. I read so many discussions on binding and paper quality that it's a bit overwhelming.

All Star Superman and/or Watchmen are the crown jewels of the initiative.

All Star Superman.
Watch out with some of the Absolutes, dude. Nice packaging (Long Halloween aside) but many of the earlier ones used glue binding, which is absolute bullshit. All Star is perfect, though.

I can't honestly say. I've been reading as little about it as possible to avoid spoiling myself. With DeForge, it could go either way. At this point, I will just read everything he does regardless of the structure.
From the Drawn and Quarterly description:
From its opening pages, Ant Colony immerses the reader in a world that is darkly existential, with false prophets, unjust wars, and corrupt police officers, as it follows the denizens of a black ant colony under attack from the nearby red ants. On the surface, its the story of this war, the destruction of a civilization, and the ants all too familiar desire to rebuild. Underneath, though, Ant Colony plumbs the deepest human concernsloneliness, faith, love, apathy, and more. All of this is done with humor and sensitivity, exposing a world where spiders can wreak unimaginable amounts of havoc with a single gnash of their jaws.

There appears to be some continuity to it from what I have read so far.

Yeah, they're ending it and then relaunching it right away. Good old Marvel. But the new book is being written by Jason Latour. I expect it to be 100% less good than Aaron's series, though I've heard this guy has a similar sense of humor to Aaron, so who knows? I'll give it a shot before I drop the fuck out of it.

The Punisher #1 review here makes me so hyped for Frank's return.
I like how they say it's like an amazing Marvel TV show that just hasn't been made. Hawkeye has the same vibe, but it's on a different channel. You know, disconnected from the majority of the MU, allowed to do different bents to the characters, be a bit freer.
OMFG

Maaaaaan. I'm gonna hold out for that June Omnibus.
I have to.

My man. Dark Horse hardcovers are the fucking best.

A mixture. But most of it is the overarching story. I read it all sometime last year and it's pretty insane. I'm going to have to pick up the trade.
I simply can't believe that those Mind MGMT hardcovers are only just over 150 pages. That paper must be so incredibly thick.
