Pull List for 30 Apr 2010

C. Hagen Radick — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 23:13:14 +0000

Got a Wednesday night class again, so New Comics day is going to be Thursday or Friday for the next two months.

Captain America #605
Conan the Cimmerian #20
Deadpool #22
Detective Comics #864
Hack/Slash #32
Northlanders #27
Thor #609
Ultimate Avengers #7
Wonder Woman #43

Okay, the cover says Ultimate Avengers 2 #1, but the incindia says #7, so that’s what I’m sticking with.

Detective changes creative teams and directions. We’ll see how that goes.

Pull List for 21 Apr 2010

C. Hagen Radick — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 01:46:26 +0000

American Vampire #2
Captain America: Who Won’t Wield the Shield? #1 (one-shot)
Fearless Dawn #3 (of 4)
Hercules: Fall of an Avenger #2 (of 2)
Queen Sonja #6
Sif #1 (one-shot)
The Spirit #1 (FirstWave)
Ultimate Avengers #6
X-Factor #204

Except for today’s purchases, I’m caught up through “D” on my backlog. We’ll see how this weekend goes.

The Cap special looked funny. Deadpool vs. Forbush Man? Sold! UPDATE 29 Apr 2010: It sucked.

I’m not sure how much of the “FirstWave” stuff I’ll get, but Spirit has a back-up feature with some sweet black and white Bill Sienkiewicz art, so that was a no-brainer.

Pull List for 14 Apr 2010

C. Hagen Radick — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 00:15:48 +0000

Batman #698
Brightest Day #0
Domino Lady #5
Hack/Slash #31
The Savage Axe of Ares #1 (one-shot?)
Secret Six #20
The Unwritten #12

Since I like the idea of DC not being such a downer world, I decided to give Brightest Day a chance. I guess we’ll see if the miniseries is any good and whether or not DC actually follows through with a lighter tone across its line.

Update 21 Apr 2010: Okay, I had my companies mixed up. Turns out it’s Marvel’s “Heroic Age” that’s supposed to lighten up the universe. Brightest Day was pretty annoying for folks like me who didn’t read Blackest Night. That’s my last issue of that miniseries.

Pull List for 7 Apr 2010

C. Hagen Radick — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:44:31 +0000

The Astounding Wolf-Man #22
Batman and Robin #11
Black Panther/Captain America: Flags of Our Fathers #1 (of 4)
Red Sonja: Wrath of the Gods #3 (of 5)
S.H.I.E.L.D. #1
Warlord #13
Wolverine: Weapon X #12

Pretty standard week. I was going to leave SHIELD on the shelves, but it got a pretty good review over at Comic Book Resources, so I’ll give the first issue a shot.

Pull List for 31 Mar 2010

C. Hagen Radick — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 23:56:07 +0000

Cowboy Viking Ninja #5
Detective Comics #863
Eternal Descent #1 (of 12)
Hack/Slash #30
The Marvels Project #7 (of 8)
Wonder Woman #42

Not sure if I’ll get all of the Eternal Descent issues or not. The art looks entirely too “early Top Cow” for my tastes, but I do own one of their CDs, so I thought I’d support the band. At $4 a pop for 12 issues, it’s going to have to be a damn good story, though.

Actually started digging into my comic pile last night. Got American Vampire–Batman & Robin knocked out.

Pull List for 3 Mar 2010

C. Hagen Radick — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 02:55:41 +0000

Whoo-hoo! Wednesday night class is over, so I no longer have to wait until Thursday to get my books. Maybe next I’ll do something crazy like actually get caught up in my reading.

Conan the Cimmerian #19
Detective Comics #862
Ultimate Avengers #5
Wolverine: Weapon X #11

Yup, short week. Nothing else to add at this time.

Pull List for 25 Feb 2010

C. Hagen Radick — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:39:14 +0000

Batman and Robin #9
Cowboy Ninja Viking #4
Deadpool #20
The Flash: Rebirth #6 (of 6)
The Marvels Project #6 (of 8)
Northlanders #25
Thor #607
Viking #5 (of 5?)
Wonder Woman #41
X-Factor #202

Hey, Flash: Rebirth #6 finally showed up. I wonder if I can remember what happened up until now, or even if I care any more. Seriously, disgustingly late books like this is part of the reason comic books are treated like the red-headed stepchildren of the entertainment industry.

Otherwise, still behind on reading, so dunno when I’ll have any review-oriented commentary up.
