IMAGE

Standard Kirkmaniac response - Yippee!

BPRD: THE BLACK FLAME

[VisionNick]

Revelations #2 (Dark Horse) - I havent read #1 yet, but I have a good feeling about this. Supposed to be a cool murder mystery set in the Vatican. Jenkins is great, and I've warmed to Ramos in the past few years. His art is soo odd that it crosses over and becomes interesting.

Batman #645 - Is this a Winick & Mahnke issue? If so, then I'll pick it up. I loved the Red Hood storyline, and I'm looking forward to it continuing.

Catwoman #47 - How impressive is Pete Woods? Great pencils. And I'm loving the covers by Adam Hughes.

JLA Classified #12 - Excellent so far, except for the awful covers.

Jack Cross #2

Silent Dragon #3 - Love the Lenil Yu art, but the story is starting to lose me a little bit.

Vigilante #1 - I'm gonna flip through this. Maybe.

The Sentry #1 - I'm very curious about this. I like the whole "mentally disturbed" superhero angle, its different. With that said, for some reason I dont think that JR JR is the right fit for this, but maybe I'm nuts.

New Avengers #11 - New story arc? I'll check this out.

Cable & Deadpool #20 - Always lots of fun, a criminally underrated humor book.

Daredevil #77 - Its certainly no leap to say that this run by Bendis and Maleev will go down as one of the great runs on DD, probably second only to Miller's.

FLASH #226 $2.50
Looking forward to reading this! It's a stand-alone issue written by Stuart Immonen and Kathryn Kuder with art by Steve Lightle... who I LOVE and who has done some really wonderful Flash stuff in the past, and I NEVER see enough work from him! I'm very excited. BEAUTIFUL cover by Ladronn.

PENG ONE SHOT (MR) $5.95

WHERE DID ALL THESE COMICS COME FROM?!!!!

The Comic Stork.

REVELATIONS #2 (OF 6) $2.99
Thought the first issue was SO GOOD!!! GREAT murder-mystery set-up! And of course, Ramos' work is gorgeous!

FLASH #226 $2.50
Looking forward to reading this! It's a stand-alone issue written by Stuart Immonen and Kathryn Kuder with art by Steve Lightle... who I LOVE and who has done some really wonderful Flash stuff in the past, and I NEVER see enough work from him! I'm very excited. BEAUTIFUL cover by Ladronn.

Wow. I don't read FLASH anymore, but I'll definitely give this issue a shot just to see Lightle's art again. What's the last interior he drew?

The SHARKNIFE spin-off by Rey, featuring Sharknife's little brother, in what has to be the first American/Canadian kickball comic I can think of. (I know in Japan they have manga for every sport/activity imaginable)

WIZARD COMICS MAGAZINE INFINITE CRISIS CVR #169 $5.99
I got mine today! Yes, stare all you want... It's hardly pullitzer material, but it's something I look forward to getting in the mail every month.

WOW, that's fast! I've got a subscription (and really, if I wasn't able to talk some family member into renewing it each year I probably wouldn't bother picking it up off the shelves each month!) but the magazine has been arriving later and later each month over the past year. I just got last month's issue on Friday or Saturday of last week!

[pmpknface]

My list is updated with comments.

It seems that the 2 "buzzbooks" are SHARKNIFE and ROCKETO. I haven't gotten to the Shark yet, but Rocketo is really good.

In other news, I just got hooked up with a free pass to this weekend's WW Boston con! WOOHOO!!! Can't wait!
