LOBO! LOBO! LOBO! LOBO! (Can you tell I get a tad excited when any new Lobo book comes out?)

I’ve been avoiding any of the Deadpool spin-off books, but this one guest-stars Hercules and is written by Fred Van Lente, who is doing great work on that book, so at least worth the look-see.  No promises on any future issues, though, unless Van Lente is going to be writing them. If that’s the case, I may drop the main series and start picking this one up.

Apparently, Grell’s story was only a two-parter, so we’ll see if he’s back for Warlord next month or if whoever wrote the first unimpressive arc is.  If it ain’t Grell, I’m not interested.

Vampi’s still only $2. I’m worried the story ends stupidly, and they didn’t think they could sell the next series if this one cost too much.

  1. Conan the Cimmerian #14
  2. The Incredible Hercules #135
  3. Vengeance of the Moon Knight #1 *
  4. Wolverine: Old Man Logan Giant-Size #1 (one-shot)

Because it was an otherwise short week, I picked up Moon Knight, which has gotten mixed reviews, but at least looks pretty, plus the Madame Xanadu: Disenchanted TPB.

Nothing else really to add.

Pull List for 19 Feb 2009

  1. Batman: Streets of Gotham #3 *
  2. Conan the Cimmerian #13
  3. Dominic Fortune #1 (of 4)
  4. Viking #3
  5. Wolverine: Weapon X #4
  6. X-Factor #47

* — Denotes those wavering at the edge of the Culling List.
§ — Denotes my last issue of this misbegotten series.

Pretty standard week.  Decided to give Dominic Fortune a try since I like that old-school spy/pulp stuff, and Howard Chaykin usually does at least a competent job.

I’m not enjoying Batman: SOG as much as others, so I don’t know how much longer I’ll be getting this.  I think I’m just sick of Hush.  I didn’t mind the “R.I.P. — Heart of Hush” story, but Dini seems to be hell-bent on using him.  I’ve already decided to drop Gotham City Sirens, so he better show me something amazing in this issue, especially at $4 a pop.

Pull List for 22 Jul 2009

  1. Conan the Cimmerian #12
  2. Dethklok Versus The Goon (one-shot)
  3. Domino Lady #1
  4. Gotham City Sirens #2 *
  5. The Incredible Hercules #131
  6. Red Sonja #46
  7. The Spirit #31
  8. X-Force #17 *

Surprisingly, the new Paul Dini Batman series aren’t doing much for me. I think after last week’s Streets of Gotham, I’m done with it. Sirens was so-so last month, but had an interesting cliffhanger, so I’m giving it a second issue.

Hopefully, it was just the pointlessness that was “Messiah War”, but those were a few long months dealing with that ultimately frustrating crossover.  If X-Force looks to be getting back on track, I’ll keep getting it, but if I’m ho-hum after this issue, I’m done with it, too.

Domino Lady hasn’t been getting good reviews, but I’m a sucker for pulp stuff, so I’m giving it a chance to see if it’s something I enjoy.

DETHKLOK!!! ‘Nuff said.

Pull List for 3 Jun 2009

3 Jun 2009 · Leave a Comment

  1. Batman and Robin #1
  2. Conan the Cimmerian #11
  3. Hack/Slash #22
  4. New Mutants #2
  5. Secret Six #10
  6. Solomon Grundy #4 (of 7)
  7. The Warlord #3
  8. Werewolves on the Moon: Versus Vampires #1 (of 3)

Okay, that last one was picked up on a lark.  No surprises with most everything else.

Warlord and New Mutants are going to have to show me something awesome, however, in the next month or two, because I’ve got to be a little more budget-conscious in the coming months.
