New Comics Day 3/14/12
Mar. 14th, 2012 11:02 pmLot of comics this week, even with my shop missing the new issues of Mouse Guard: the Black Axe and Adventure Time. Well, they had some AT, but only with the collectible covers. And while they were indeed sweet, I don't pay no 30 bucks for a single comic...
I did get the finale for Villains for Hire that I missed from last week. With a last act reveal of the plans of Misty and Puppet Master...
Picked up a couple new books. Brian K. Vaughn's scifi/fantasy mash-up Saga is definitely interesting enough to see where it will be going. And his artist, Fiona Staples, has some serious chops. Paul Cornell's Saucer Country on the other hand has a good high concept in its mix of politics and alien abduction. But it was more than a little difficult to follow...
The Joe Keatinge/Ross Campbell Glory relaunch is still crazy sweet. Very much looking to be shaping into something big and epic and awesome...
Lobster Johnson: the Burning Hand has the newly arrived spooky black fire/skull head bad guy running amok in the tenements to draw out Lobster Johnson...
Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan's adaptation of "Queen of the Black Coast" in Conan the Barbarian is still pretty damn perfect. This issue has a ship to ship archery fight. And then Conan lets loose on some pirates...
The Shade's current arc is still Spain and heroic vampires. Plus another local hero, Montpellier. Also a one panel bit of a fight between Sangre and the Inquisitor, bull-back during the running festival which is just a perfect piece of world-building...
Resurrection Man moves from Gotham to Metropolis, with Mitch pretty much stumbling into a police raid on one of his neighbors. Who is using some kind of hi-tech energy shield with possible links to Shelley's past...
Then the Unwritten finishes up the "War of Words" and the current big story. With secrets revealed and lives lost and plenty of questions and puzzles still remaining...
And finally a new Knights of the Dinner Table. The major focus here is on the PeeWee gaming group and Pete's plans to bring more people into the gaming fold. Though there is still more story movement with the UT+2 in Bag World and a brief look at Bob and Sheila at home...
