New Comics Day

Well, well.

• S.H.I.E.L.D. #5
• Nightmaster : Monsters of Rock #1
• Gotham City Sirens #18
• Batman : The Dark Knight #1
• Detective Comics #872
• Justice Society of America #46
• Teen Titans #90
• Flash #8
• Green Lantern #61
• Action Comics #896

The Nightmaster One-Shot completely slipped past my radar until today, and when I saw the umlaut, I had to buy it. It's fluff, but fun. JSA finally addresses the glaring problems with the storyline so far and explains why the current situation works, so now I'm ready to cut it some slack. It's nice to see Ravager and Robin bond in Teen Titans. My pick of the week, though, is the Jimmy Olsen back-up in Action - which honors and simultaneously one-ups all previous "Jimmy's life is weird" stories.

New Comics Day

New comics day is here, and it brought DC Classics, Wave 15! Huzzah. Regrettably, my OMAC figure had a fused wrist that snapped when I attempted to correct it, so I may have to hunt down a spare - but it IS just OMAC, so I can glue it into place and not worry too much about it if I can't find one.

The books :

• Angel #40 - Art quality nosedive.
  
• Darkwing Duck #7 - Still rockin'.
  
• Chaos War #4
• The Mighty Crusaders #6 - Feels rushed.
  
• Green Lantern / Plastic Man : Weapons of Mass Deception #1
• Time Masters : Vanishing Point #5
• Superman #706 - Not bad, for filler.
  
• Supergirl #59
• Green Lantern : Emerald Warriors #5
• Batman #705 - Mmm.. no. Why can't people leave the man alone?
  
• Batman and Robin #18 - A-ha! That medical condition that I heard of that time..
  
• Green Lantern #60 - Oh, HIM. I think we last saw him lay and egg in JLA.
  
• Birds of Prey #7
• Brightest Day #16 - Well, hell. They're about to make Black Manta make sense.
  

That's all!

Week in Geek

Well, I'm feeling better, so I might as well!

Friend Eric ran a session of his 1974 Superhero game on Saturday, and it went well. Our super-team slash Mystery, Inc fellows came up against the Cropsey, New Jersey's prototype for Jason, of Friday the 13th fame. He's a lot less threatening if your Superman-type yoinks his axe out of his hand, though.

My game from the weekend before was also a hoot, as I got to debut my favorite villain creation of the game thus far - Pratfall, the Vaudevillian Villain. He's a dash of the Prankster and a pinch of the Creeper, with just a smidge of the Joker thrown in for good measure. Chloroform cream pies!

As far as other hobbies, I've still been working on the Pokemon stuff, and I still haven't gotten out to see Tangled, Megamind, or Harry Potter 7. I did, however, watch the entire first season of True Blood. Not bad, except for the fact I hate the South.

New Comics Day

I was too under the weather to bother with a Week in Geek post this week, despite a good gaming session last Saturday, but the comics pull list thingie must go on!

• Fables #100
• First Wave #5
• R.E.B.E.L.S. #23
• Knight and Squire #3
• Batgirl #16
• Superboy #2
• Red Robin #18
• Detective Comics Annual #12
• DC Universe Holiday Special 2010 #1
• Booster Gold #39
• The Flash #7
• Justice League : Generation Lost #15

Batgirl is unfailingly entertaining. Judd Winick is doing a bang-up job on JL:GL, and I laughed out loud at the title's incorporation of Wonder Woman's current situation. (See : Screwed the hell up by J. Michael Schwarzkopf.) I like the French Bat-candidate we meet in Detective Annual #12.
