New Comics Day

And another light week. Wow.

• Danger Girl : Revolver #1
• Fables #113
• Legion of Super-Heroes #5
• Green Lantern Corps #5
• Wonder Woman #5
• Batman #5

That's it.

New 52 - the First Casualties

So, I was going to write a post about the announcement of 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons today, but I think I'll hold off on that, to talk about comics.

Blackhawks, Hawk and Dove, Men of War, Mister Terrific, OMAC, and Static Shock are dead, after issue #8. Five of them, I'd never picked up - OMAC was fun, but not really generating long-term interest.

Replacing them will be Batman Incorporated, Earth 2, World's Finest, Dial H, G.I. Combat, and The Ravagers. Some thoughts :

• Batman, Inc - I was reading this before, and I will pick it up when it resumes.
• Earth 2 - This is our James Robinson / Nicola Scott JSA title, so I will buy this.
• World's Finest - I love that they're finally resurrecting the name. But it's the Huntress and Power Girl of Earth 2, stranded in 'our world' - meaning New Earth or Earth Prime? I'll probably give it a look at least.
• Dial H - An update of Dial H for Hero, this one gets a few issues of try-out from me.
• G.I. Combat - 'War That Time Forgot' as a lead feature, with backups of the Unknown Soldier and the Haunted Tank? This might be interesting enough to pick up a few issues, unlike Blackhawks or Men of War.
• The Ravagers - Not even going to bother.

All in all, I think this is a change for the better.

Hawkman is on my pull-list, but I'm cancelling this month, so I may end up with two more issues. I, Vampire is going on my 'bubble' list, and Justice League Dark will join it real damn soon if things don't pick up.

New Comics Day

I braved the elements today for new comics!

• Warlord of Mars : Dejah Thoris #8
• Mega Man #8
• Irredeemable #32
• Green Arrow #4 - It's not bad, but I don't think I'm interested enough to keep reading.
• Red Lanterns #4 - This, I can give a few more issues.
• Animal Man #4 - I'm on the fence with this one. I was ready to drop, but the family's new cat may keep me in.
• OMAC #4 - This on the other hand, is another not-bad title I think I'm done with.
• Stormwatch #4
• Justice League International #4
• Action Comics #4

and Rascal Raccoon's Raging Revenge. An original graphic novel from Oni Press that I quite enjoyed.
