A week of #1's

[Kyuubi]

Gen13
Worldstorm
Ultimate Power


Worldstorm is really just an introduction to the revamped Wildstorm Universe, but still worth checking out. Gen13 and Ultimate Power both have promising starts. I also got 52 and Ultimate X-Men.


What did everyone else get?

Gen13
Worldstorm
Civil War #3 (was missing that)
52

Oh and got a bunch of Cable & Deadpool trades. Love Deadpool, he's so funny.

Is Gen 13 a reboot or a continuation of the old series? Last I checked the "kids" were in their mid to late twenties, after being thought dead no less, and a new bunch of teenagers had taken their place and book.

Is Gen 13 a reboot or a continuation of the old series?

Yes.


.

[Lester C.]

Yes.

It's my fault for phrasing the question the way I did, but I don't know if you mean that yes the book has been rebooted or yes the book is a continuation of the second series which ended a few years ago.

I had a load of catching up to do and I ended up with fourteen comics this week, the two new ones from this week being Gen13 and Worldstorm.

[David Bedlam]

I won't be gatting my comics until Saturday. :(

[amboy00]

Gen13 was really hard. Good, but hard.

I can tell its going to be a really great book.

[TCJohnson]

How do you mean hard? Hard as in cold and heartless, or hard as in hard to follow or understand?

[stealthwise]

I haven't been to the shop yet, but I'm intrigued by Gen13, providing they have any copies left.

[The Xenos]

I couldn't stand to pick up Ultimate Power. I've sworn off Greg Land books. Now I understand inkers being tracers, but when a penciler does it...

Well, just take a look at where the cover came from.


That Spider-man is from art by Travis Charest. Not sure where that image of Cap is from, from Land himself or Hitch.

[stealthwise]

I would have thought that entire concept of Ultimate Power, combined with who was WRITING it, would be enough to turn you off, but oh well, as long as people are avoiding it. :)

[Budgie Inspector]

What did everyone else get?

52
Green Arrow
Tales of the Unexpected #1
Fables
Martian Manhunter
Civil War: Frontline
Ultimate Power
Ultimate X-Men
World Storm
Gen 13

...So, Gail, when will you be killing off Grunge? Please, please, please say it'll be soon?

[Kevinroc]

This was the week of tpbs for me. I only picked up three individual issues. Three tpbs as well. Since those are more expensive, I tend to think those dominated my comic shop needs this week.

I didn't pick up Gen 13 (sorry, Gail. I really don't like the art).

Uncanny X-Men
Civil War: Frontline
Thunderbolts

But the week was dominated by tpbs.

Ares
The Pulse
Invincible

I also saw the first volume of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories but somebody grabbed the store's only copy before I could. Sigh...

I like Oeming's depiction of Marvel's Ares. He's fun, in a rather rugged way. He was trying not to be a bastard. He was raising his son without the boy's mother around (because he doesn't want any "girly feelings" confusing his son).

I imagine this is the version of the character we will see in Mighty Avengers.

It's my fault for phrasing the question the way I did, but I don't know if you mean that yes the book has been rebooted or yes the book is a continuation of the second series which ended a few years ago.

It's a reboot, but it really feels a lot like the first series. That's why my answer was ambiguous.
