Archie Comics released two titles today - Archie Double Digest 245 and Betty & Veronica Double Digest 217 –
which are both already Christmas Issues.
Dark Horse is still publishing the travesty that is Catalyst
Comix (issue 5 hit stands today). Also
from DH is Grindhouse: Doors Open at Midnight 2 – normally I wouldn’t praise
this poor quality of art, but it definitely adds a raw Grindhouse feel to the title
so it’s working for me. Finally from DH,
we have The Star Wars 3 continuing the adaptation of George Lucas’s original
rough-draft screenplay.
At DC, Batman Year
Zero month is in full swing with Batman
25, Detective Comics 25, Batwing 25, Green Arrow 25, and Action
Comics 25 all crossing into the storyline which as a whole is putting me
off – though some of the art is top notch.
Also at DC, the ongoing mini-series Forever
Evil has its third issue today – but I have given up on that story
myself.
Dynamite graces us with the third issue of its six issue
mini-series Army of Darkness Vs
Hack/Slash – presenting me with an excuse to mention that
#AllisonScags4Cassie Your Argument is
Invalid! Also on shelves we have Lords
of Mars 4 (of 6) – a stunning Alex Ross cover that makes me question the
need for the variant covers also released – Vampirella
36, and Gail Simone’s Legends of Red
Sonja 1 (of 5) – featuring both a beautiful regular cover and a classic
Marvel throwback variant.
The Starbase 21 Pick
of the Week is Marvel’s Cataclysm The
Ultimates’ Last Stand 1 part of the November Ultimate Universe crossover
featuring Galactus. Also gracing shelves
from The House of Ideas this month are Fantomex
MAX 2 (of 4) – which I almost picked up but was able to resist – Painkiller Jane: The Price of Freedom 1
(of 4)
Finally, Zenescope – which is always at least good for a
cover if not always the stories inside gives us Grimm Fairy Tales Presents Wonderland Through the Looking Glass 2
(of 5) – I recommend Cover B by Ivan Nunes featuring the Queen of Spades – and Tyler Kirkham’s Screwed 6 (of 6).
I’m changing up the way I do New Comic Day from now on.
As you see I’ve given a very brief highlight of some of the top comics and
a few underdogs that are our this week, but no Feature Issue review like I’ve
done in the past. But come back tomorrow
for our indepth review of Painkiller Jane:
The Price of Freedom 1.
Until then, let me know what you’re picking up this week in the
