Jimmy's Pull List for 10/28/09

Once again, Wednesday approaches and I'm gearing up for my trip to the comic store.  I'm very much looking forward a new writer for Batman, Geoff Johns continuing his great writing in Super Secret Origin, and seeing further development in Blackest Night.  Anyways, here it is....

Wednesday, 10/28/09
Batman #692
Blackest Night #4 (of 8)
Justice Society of America #32
Superman: Secret Origin #2 (of 6)

Coming By Mail In Two Weeks
Green Lantern #47
Superman #693
Wonder Woman #37

Most Excited For....
Wonder Woman #47
Well of course I'm most excited for this title.  Gail Simone is my favorite comic book writer right now, and Wonder Woman is my dream girl!  This is a no brainer.  but with a lot of pregnancies going on on Paradise Island and Diana stuck in the middle of a war, it's getting pretty intense right now.  Maybe she will get back together with Tom?  I hope so!

Jimmy's Pull List for 10/14/2009

So this week is a heavy week for me seeing as how everything book i'll be getting for this week WONT be ariving by mail two weeks later. So I have plenty of reading material coming up for the next few days! Here is my pull list for this week...

Action Comics #882
Batman #691
Blackest Night: Batman #3 (of 3)

Green Lantern Corps #41

Secret Six #14

Title I'm Most excited for: Secret Six #14

I started reading this title last month and I couldn't wait for the next. I actually decided to get all the back issues for this title starting with #1. Gail Simone, you are my hero!

Stuff I'm Pondering
* Action Comics is pretty good right now, but I'm hoping something new starts to happen, to help make the connection with New Krypton.  I know everything happening in the world of the Superman family right now is all connected, I'm just not sure how.  Some realizations need to be madereal soon!

Jimmy's Pull List For 10/7/09

I only have two books coming out for me this week. I’ve decided to lay off “A Cry for Justice” and possibly get it when it comes out in the trade paperback. It’s been an alright run, but I don’t think it’s worth getting month by month. But the two I have coming out this week are...

Superman: World of New Krypton #8 (of 12)
Batman and Robin #5

 

Most anticipated title: Superman World of New Krypton #8
This mini has been outstanding. I know some are apprehensive about it, but I honestly have been loving it since issue #1. My only worry is that the ending could be a huge disappointment. I certainly hope that by issue #12, we have a genuine twist, where Superman saves the day as always, but he also looses at the same time. This series has got to be a tragic one, or else it could fail miserably. I don’t think it will touch being a better miniseries than Blackest Night, but it has the potential of being 2nd best.

Jimmy's Pull List For 9/30/09

Much to my dismay, I am sadly going to have to wait for two whole weeks to receive any of the titles coming out this week. This makes me sad, but yet, I am very happy I'm saving money on the comics I get. woo hoo!

Green Lantern #46
Justice League of America 80 paged giant
Justice Society #31
Superman #692
Wonder Woman #36

I'm Most Excited For: Wonder Woman #36
Like I've been saying for a while, Gail Simone is comics best writer.  She invests herself in the stories she writes and makes them emotional and thoughtful.  Plus, when she writes, she fills up the comics with so much dialog.  Now a days, your lucky if you don't have 10 pages of nothing but picture frame after picture frame.  Simone delivers Wonder Woman stories like no one else.  It tops Geoff Johns, Brad Meltzer and Brian Azzarello.

I'm not sure what I'll do if and when Simone decides to leave this book.  Please Simone, never leave!  and keep Lopresti with you as well!  Please oh please oh please oh please!!!!

Jimmy's Pull List for 9/23/1009

Blackest Night: Superman #2 (of 3)
Superman: Secret origin #1 (of 6)

And coming to me by mail in two weeks....

Justice League #37
Power Girl #5
Supergirl #45

I'm most excited for:
Superman: Secret Origin #1.
Geoff Johns is probably one of the more creative writers in comics right now.  His secret origin story with Hal Jordan was very good, so I'm excited to see how Geoff Johns decides to put a twist on the Superman origin Story.

I like how Johns has been given the opportunity to re-map the DC Universe.  Johns has the ability to boost the mature tone and quality of DC and I think it will be a successful run with this new Superman mini series.

Plus, Gary Frank is such an amazing artist how could I not be excited for this series.  The only way I could be more excited was is Gail Simone and Aaron Lopresti were working together on this mini.

Now, the only question, why now?  Why do this Superman mini series now when the focus is Blackest Night?  The DC universe always seems to tie all their titles into the big event in some shape or form.  Will this mini have some connection with Blackest Night or is there some other reason for making sure this series is going on right now?  Could there be a connection with the dilemma on New Krypton, something that will help solve part of a mystery?  who knows? 

Jimmy's Pull List For 9/16/09

Action Comics #881 - Flamebird and Nightwing might very well be the most interesting and moving super hero team to ever cross into the comics realm.

Blackest Night #3 (of 8) - Whew, I'm getting all jumpy just thinking about it!


Coming In The Mail In 2 Weeks....

Batman & Robin #4 - Same writer, new artist.  Lets see if Morrison can keep up his good work!

Most Excited for Blackest Night #3

This mini series could very well be the greatest mini series of all time. It’s giving comic book fans some intelligent horror that doesn’t resemble the “mindless zombie” storylines that Marvel decided to give us. Geoff Johns if a genious!

Jimmy's Pull List for 9/9/09

Green Lantern Corps #40 - GL Corps keeps bouncing around at being very good and very bad.  I'm hoping Blackest Night gets a move on in the plot.  Sadly though, I have to wait for this issue to come to me in the mail before I can review it, which will be about two weeks.

Secret Six #13 - I've heard enough good thing about this title that I decided to start picking this one up.  It has Gail Simone as the writer so it has to be good right?

Superman: World of New Krypton # 7 (of 12) - I'm absolutly loving this title.  I just wish they would have made this apart of the regular Superman title and not separate.

Title I'm most excited about

Secret Six.  It's a new title for me so I'm in that "really excited" phase about reading it.  I'm really not worried about it either, Gail Simone is such a good writer and knows how to hold herself.  Simone is arguable one of the best writers for comics right now.
