It is an extremely short week for me this week, which is good, because then I can justify spending my money on some things that I've had my eye on seeing as it is my birthday tomorrow and all.   BLACKEST NIGHT: BATMAN #3 (OF 3) $2.99 (Peter J. Tomasi / Adrian Syaf)GREEN LANTERN CORPS #41 $2.99 (Peter J. Tomasi / Patrick Gleason) Once again let's just recognize the fact that I am loving the "Blackest Night" event and leave it at that. As I have said before, by now either you're digging them as well, or you're sick of hearing me go on about them, so let's just look at these pretty covers and know that I am salivating wildly. Gross mental image? So be it. Geek-gasm!  UNCANNY X-MEN #516 $2.99 (Matt Fraction / Greg Land)I've caught up on my X-Men reading as of late and I have to say that I am liking the direction that the writers have taken the team, in particular Matt Fraction's work. If you're late to the party I don't want to ruin things for you as to what has happened already, but just know that there is a new place that the X-Men call home. Also, as you can see from this cover someone quite nefarious seems to be back. Again. Yeah, we've seen it all before. I think it was singer Chris Robinson who said something along the lines of that everything was now derivative and that about the only original thing now would be some guy smacking two beaver carcasses together. That may well be; sure, we've seen Magneto come back before, but Fraction has done a good job so far, so I am going to give him the benefit of doubt. Good stuff! What comics did you get geeked out about this week? Just stop by the WLG message boards (see link below) and share! See you next week! Peace! -Diaz |
