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.

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 24 Jun 2009

1. Atomika #8
2. Detective Comics #854
3. Empowered #5
4. Gotham City Sirens #1
5. The Incredible Hercules #130
6. The Last Days of Animal Man #2 (of 6)
7. Northlanders #18
8. Red Sonja #45
9. The Spirit #30
10. Thor #602
11. Viking #2
12. Wolverine: Weapon X #3
13. X-Factor #45
14. X-Force #16

Yeah, this post is way late, but I grabbed my comics on my way out of town for a week, and didn’t have time to post this.

No real surprises here, but I’ll be glad when “Messiah War” is over, since I don’t buy Cable, and X-Force has been really disjointed as a result.

Hopefully, Mercury Comics’s money issues are straightened out, because I really hate the long delay between issues of Atomika.

I don’t know how much longer I’m going to be getting X-Force.  Granted, they’re in the middle of a crossover right now, and I’m not buying the Cable issues, so that’s probably hurting it.  However, it’s never been “great”, so in this economy, I’ll be sorely tempted to trim some of the unnecessary titles off my list.

Dellec was $1.99, so I thought I’d try it.  If it’s as good as Executive Assistant Iris #0 was, it’ll be my last issue of that, too.

I’m definitely nervous about a non-Grant Morrison-penned Animal Man.  However, I’ll give it an honest shot.

I thought I probably wouldn’t live to see the day where Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk was actually completed.  I guess I was wrong there.
