WLG #190: Zip Pop Done!

By Michael A. Diaz

Short and sweet is the name of the game this week; get in and get out quickly is my motto.

One QUICK thing though: I saw the HBO First Look: 300 the other day and I could not be MORE excited about any other film this year.

Joy!

Now this:

Standard Disclaimer: For those of you new to the WLG experience, here's how it works: Every week I check out the release schedule from the Diamond Comics Shipping List and decide which comics that I am going to spend my hard-earned money on. Yep, my money. That's good, because it helps to maintain my objectivity. If I spend money on a comic book and it turns out to be crap I'm going to be upset.Seriously, I have hyped myself up SO much for this movie that there's NO WAY it can live up to my expectations.

Now let's check out comics and see What Looks Good...

BOOM! STUDIOS

PLANETARY BRIGADE ORIGINS #2 (OF 3) $3.99 (Keith Giffen & J.M. DeMatteis / Julia Bax)

This book doesn't come out nearly enough for my tastes. For the uninitiated this is the team book that Giffen and DeMatteis have created in order to fill the void that their humorous take on the Justice League used to fill. Sure, it's not a direct extension of that series I so loved, but how could it be?

Still, this is always a much-enjoyed stroll through insanity.

Sweet.

DYNAMO 5 #1 $3.50 (Jay Faerber / Mahmud Asrar)

I really like Faerber's Noble Causes so when I heard he was launching another title I figured I had to check it out. Add in a premise about a beloved superhero who has father five illegitimate children that all carry on his name and you've got me more than interested.

Looks good!

MARVEL

MARVEL ZOMBIES/ ARMY OF DARKNESS #1 $2.99 (John Layman / Fabiano Silva Neves)

I really enjoyed the last appearances of these Marvel Zombies, both within the pages of Ultimate Fantastic Four and their own mini-series so I'm pretty geeked about this one as well. Add in Ash from Army of Darkness and we're talking geek heaven.

NEWUNIVERSAL #4 $2.99 (Warren Ellis / Salvador Larocca)

Excellent.

'Nuff said.

Was there something that did it for you this week? If so, stop by the What Looks Good message boards (see link below) and spread the love, my friend.
Until then,

Peace!
