Well, I guess I didn’t miss the last issue of Ambush Bug after all.  Turns out it was just disgustingly late.  I hope it was worth the wait.

Well, I’d been enjoying Batman up until now, but Tony Daniel is taking over, and if Battle for the Cowl was any indication of the quality we can expect, I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be getting this.

Red Sonja becomes Queen Sonja.  Last time they changed directions, I wasn’t that pleased, so I guess we’ll see how this goes.

Nothing really of note this week.  Not sure if the entire Vampirella series is going to be $1.99 or not, but it’s a nice break from the $3–5 price tags on everything else.

Vampi was $1.99, so I bought it on a lark.  Her comics can be rather hit-or-miss in terms of quality.  Still, a nice Joe Jusko cover, though.

Still not sure about Marvels Project.  While it’s certainly not bad, I’m not sure it’s worth $4/issue.

Ditto for Domino Lady. Now, I love me some pulps, but in this day and age, it’d be nice if they pushed the formula just a little bit instead of simply rehashing everything.

Oof… These huge weeks are killing me.  Fortunately, there are a lot of miniseries and one-shots in that mix.

Okay, the starred items…

Deadpool was much better last month. Then again, I was only buying this half of the Thunderbolts crossover, so maybe that’s why it wasn’t really working for me.

New Mutants has been okay, but not great.

I really want to like Wonder Woman, but Simone’s run really hasn’t been doing much for me.  I’ll give this one a few more, but no promises.

I haven’t gotten around to reading the previous issue of X-Force, so this may be premature, but like its sister title, New Mutants, it’s been satisfactory, but I’m not sure it’s worth the cover price every month.

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.
