A New Post of Sorts and Variety

I recently finished some comics, namely: DMZ Volume 1 (very good by the way) Dynamo 5 Volume 1 (I don't know if I'm gonna start buying this monthly, but if your looking for a good super hero comic pick this up) and lastly Buddha Volume 1 (This is a Manga (don't know to much about anime, manga) It was a very fast read for it's 400 pages, but still short good, not great)

I'm gonna throw up a couple pictures and talk, about why I haven't read these particular comics when I've had some of them for more then a month.


I actually read Suburban Glamour #2 yesterday and oh how I love the art. I am really looking forward to reading Phonogram sometime drawn by the Writer/Artist of SG. I'm sure Northlanders Brian Wood's new series is good. I just loved Demo and what I've read of DMZ so I hope this doesn't disappoint.


I actually don't read Buffy, still watching Season 3. I'm gonna and watch all the subsequent seasons by this summer. And Black Summer, I liked the early issues a whole lot, but this this series has lost it's steam. Warren Ellis could really have one of the best mini-series's of the year if he can pull the finale together.


Umbrella Academy is a fun comic with great art, I'm sure It will be good. I really liked maybe the first 8 issues of the Spirit, the last couple not so much. I heard this issue was particularly good, and It better be considering it's Darwyn Cooke's second to last issue on the title.


Crossing Midnight had a great debut issue. One of the best I've read in a long time. The series wasn't really going anywhere and I was about to drop it. Then the last story arc was near flawless and the best in the series so far. This is issue 1 of new arc which I how is just as good as the previous one. Madman is great and I hope to get this so I can immense myself further into this great series.


All-Star Superman, perfection month in and month out. This would be near the top if not at the top of comics I have to read. The only reason I haven't read this is because I was in the mood for other titles. World War Hulk is pretty awesome, I like it some, but I guess not that much when I could have read the final issue a long, long time ago.


Not expecting much from this except maybe one or two ridiculously funny lines. I guess my excuse for reading is that maybe I'll see Frank Miller somewhere (He's Directing the Spirit Movie in Albuquerque where I live) and I'll have to have read his latest comic. Daredevil is a pretty great comic, but it's really just holding me off till the next Criminal issue hits in February.


Avengers Illumanti leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The last two issues did nothing for me and I wish I would have never have bought this in the first place. Well this is the last issue and I think I decided to keep buying this after obtaining issue 3 out the 5. I would never touch this kind of comic now. My taste in comics has changed and it would be rare for me to buy anything but the exceptional super hero comic. I just like comics such as DMZ and Criminal so much better. After the Cape 2 and the three issues of the first After the Cape the mini-series. The mini-series was obtained at a lower then cover price value so why not. The first was issue was pretty good too.


This is just a graphic novel that I'm reading, by Paul Pope. The only Pope I've read is Batman Year 100, Great art slightly above average story. This is going in the same direction, but I still have a long ways to go.

This post seemed pretty long to me, so hit me up with any suggestions in the comments have a good week.
