New Comics Day 6/8/11

Shorted at my shop again. This time on the new Empowered one-shot. Now I have to wait a week, maybe two for them to get me a copy. This is growing..annoying. I really don't want to have to scan the upcoming month or two's releases just to make sure I can remain loyal to my chosen store and still get the book I want...

I'm also a bit disappointed by Knights of the Dinner Table again. Other than a nice bit involving Nitro trying to get his daughter into gaming the various strips mostly feel like they're meandering and not advancing the major plot lines...

And a final bit of disappointment in that Annihilators turns out to be a 4-issue mini, meaning only one story arc for both half-books. Though I have to say the Skottie Young cover with Groot and Rocket Raccoon is just crazy sweet...

( No seriously, look at that )

I'd have more to say about the events in Scalped and the Unwritten but I'm too distracted by those stupid mini-comic ads for the "Super 8" movie. I actually have some interest in the movie, but those damn things are such a giant story break to all the books they've been shoved into...

Savage Dragon continues to follow Malcolm Dragon, with this issue also featuring new villain Thunderhead, son of Skullface...
