Pull List for 11 Nov 2009

11 Nov 2009 · Leave a Comment

  1. Batman #693 *
  2. Batman and Robin #6
  3. Deadpool #17
  4. Frank Frazetta’s Dark Kingom #2 (of ?)
  5. Hellboy: The Wild Hunt #8 (of 8)
  6. Vengeance of the Moon Knight #3 *
  7. The Unwritten #7

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

I’m giving Tony Daniel one arc to sell me or not.  The first part was okay, but the first issue of Cowl wasn’t terrible, either, and we know how that turned out.

I’m still undecided on Moon Knight.  It does some things rather well, but I’m not sure they’re doing enough to make me care about Spector and his new motivation.

Part of me wants to move Deadpool to the Culling List, too, and if it turns out Van Lente is writing Deadpool Team-Up permanently, that may just happen.

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

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.

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 2 Sep 2009

2 Sep 2009 · Leave a Comment

  1. Batman #690
  2. Bonds #3 (of 3)
  3. Deadpool #15
  4. GrimJack: The Manx Cat #2 (of 6)
  5. Incognito #6
  6. Northlanders #20
  7. Sir Edward Grey, Witchfinder: In the Service of Angels #3 (of 5)
  8. Solomon Grundy #7 (of 7)
  9. Starr the Slayer #1 (of 4)

Nothing really surprising here, except maybe for Bonds #3.  Bonds #2 came out well over a year ago, and I thought I just missed the last issue, so I’d more or less forgotten about it.  I wonder if I can remember the plotline enough to pick up where it left off or if I’m going to have to dig out the previous two issues.

WTF is up with Deadpool?  Is this a weekly book now?  Between it and all of the upcoming spin-off series, I think he’s going to go the way of Wolverine and people are going to get tired of him.

Not sure about Starr, but I do like me some Corben art, so one issue is at least worth a try.

GRIMJACK!!!

Incognito wraps up its first story arc, and Northlanders starts a new one.  Likewise, the Solomon Grundy miniseries comes to an end.  It was fairly mediocre, and part of me wishes I would’ve just waited for the TPB.
