Well, well, well ... let's see,
I am most excited about
Flash # 231-Wally is back. Waid is back. YES!!
Aquaman # 55-Tad Williams is writing a great series here (even if the replacement Aquaman is incredibly lame. I know what you are thinking, the original Aquaman is lame also. I can't help it, I like the character. Let this be a warning to you parents out there, the pajamas you buy your kids can influence their likes later in life). Too bad it is going to be canceled with issue # 57.
Action Comics # 854
JLA # 12- I am canceling this series after this issue.
Captain America # 29- I am very close to canceling this. I love Brubaker's writing but with no Steve Rogers they are close to losing my interest. _________________ "One must think like a hero to merely behave like a decent human being." |

But McDuffie!!! I'm sticking around for at least a couple issues to check out this guy's comic writing because his cartoon work is amazing!

I'm with you but with slightly different reasons. I love Brubaker's writing immensely and I tried a few issues of post-Steve Cap. However, I just don't have the heart for it. Don't get me wrong, I've been reading Ed's Cap since #1 but he made me love the character so much in those 25 issues that I just can't stomach Steve's absence in the book. (I read #26 and #27.) I suppose that is a testament to Brubaker's writing.
In any case, I plan on waiting until Cap comes back and then picking up all these post-#25 issues. Right now, it's just too depressing... unless Bucky kills Tony Stark.  _________________ "Flash is back. Worlds will die again!" |

The only Mcduffie comic I have knowingly read is the current run if FF. It isn't really impressing me. I loved the JLU cartoon but I am not very familiar with his comics. I collected this series up to this point just for what was rumored as maybe the return of Wally West. I am just rounding out the series with the last issue of Metzler's (sp?) run.
Forrest, I might have not represented my point of view well. I am losing interest in the Captain America comic is the same reason you have, no Captain America. I have a friend who collects writers and artists, I collect characters. A comic of a character I collect would have to be pretty darn bad for me not to collect it, that or not have the character in it. _________________ "One must think like a hero to merely behave like a decent human being." |

Yeah, yeah, Speedsters! I just saved my fellas the trouble of pulling Flash #231 for me by swinging by to pull it out of the box myself! Looks good. Haven't read it yet, but my tiny fears about Acuna are quelled.
Also got the 'Return of Barry Allen.' It's happening! Maybe I'll start jogging, too.
And then vibrating my molecules.
Got to go work on my Cosmic Treadmill . . . |
