Happy anniversary, Heidi and Jim! Hope your day is a special one!
Speaking of "special days" (as in "comic book day"), here's what I've got on the list:
Action Comics: Just loving Geoff Johns' run, and can't wait to learn more about the reimagined Brainiac. Johns has a real flair for fixing up badly handled characters, and Brainiac has been badly handled since his return to the re-booted Superman mythos way back in the 1980's.
Final Crisis Requiem: Not sure about this one. I never had much use for J'onn J'onzz, especially his mopey modern incarnation....so I don't know how much I care about his last adventure or whatever this thing is supposed to be. The guy was offed in such a spectacularly pathetic way, I seem to have lost some respect for the one-time powerhouse.
Justice Society of America: Yeah! My favorite title of the month! Can't wait.
Invincible Iron-Man #3: I seem to like alot of what Matt Fraction writes, and I've definitely a fan of his take on a (refreshingly non-dickweed) Iron-Man. Good stuff.
Secret Invasion #4: An interesting (if slow-moving) storyline. I think we need to start moving into Act 2 at this point. We get that Skrulls have infiltrated Earth and are beginning their invasion.
Question: Whatever happened to Dynamite's "The Lone Ranger"? That thing gets later and later ever issue, as Dynamite keeps adding more and more titles. Not a smart business model (adding more titles than you have a capacity to produce) and definitely dissipating Dynamite's "new car smell".
In an attempt not to get bogged down in loads of comic titles I hsve only been buying Superman, not Action Comics. Is this a mistake? Should I swap what I get? Although I'm ejoying the Supemran arcs at the mo, I'm not blown away by it.
Thank you for the kind words, Mark!
I agree with you about Action Comics. IT is so good right now! I loved seeing Cat and Steve- it added a special flair.
Final Crisis Requiem is a shot in the dark for me too. I am praying that it is good.
JSA is also very good. I love the fact that I can read about the characters I care so much about.. with a twist.
Invincible Iron Man has been a pleasent surprise for me as well. I didn't order it from DCBS so I have been picking it up on the fly.
Despite myself, I am very fascinated with Secret Invasion. Hopefully it goes full throttle now.
Good question about Lone Ranger! I have been missing it too! I wonder if it got lost in the shuffle as The Boys and Red Sonja have been out like clockwork?
Thank you so much for sharing your list! I always love to hear what you are picking up!
Saranga, so far for me, Action Comics is outstanding. I started picking it up when Gary Frank took up the art chores. He and Geoff Johns mesh well, and the book has been wonderful.
The biggest problem I see with switching books is that James Robinson just started on Superman, and he is amazing.
At this point in time I am getting both books. I am a bad girl, but it is soooo hard to decide.
What have you thought about Superman?
Hi Heidi,
I've only been getting the book for about 6 months but I'm liking it. How much that is due to the afct that it's Superman, I'm not sure. Renato Guedues art is really really good, but Superman's characterisation seems a little off to me. Having said that, it really is the writers and not me, who gets to decide what the character is like, so I should quit complaining.
I am liking the litle details -like the new flat Clark built for Lois and Chris and him, and also Krypto's appearence int he last issue. That was very enjoyable!
The last Action comics I picked up had Bizzaro in, who I loathe, and that was enough for me to not continue with that arc.
