New comics Day 12/14/11
Dec. 14th, 2011 09:25 pmStarting with a new Knights of the Dinner Table. Only the Knights themselves being featured this time around. With a continuation on the not-Call of Chtulu one-shot. With Bob, Dave, Sara, Johnny and Brian playing themselves faced with a zombie rising in Muncie. One of their best short story arcs in a while really...
Over at Marvel, we've got X-23 (the teen girl clone of Wolverine) joining Avengers Academy just in time for the group to be infiltrated by multiple potential traitors...
I also grabbed the 1st "real" issue of Villains for Hire that I missed last week. For dealing with the whole how to make readers root for the bad guys, Abnett and Lanning basically have two competing groups of super-baddies. One being employed by the Purple Man and the other by a not too surprising mystery person...
Ok, so it looks like Unwritten is going to be alternating regular story issues with .5 back history issues. Last issue was 31.5, this one is 32 and next will be 32.5. If they are coming out with two issues a month that should be fine. But I'll fail to see any point to it otherwise...
The Shade travels to Australia and has to confront a local god. Plus we meet a couple Ozzie heroes in passing. I liked Diablo Blacksmith, who is another of DCU's Real Magician Who Works As a Stage Magician types...
And lastly Resurection Man continues the throw down between the Body Doubles and the Transhuman. And a return of the Angelic being Suriel, still looking to claim Mitch for a afterlife...
