New Comics Day 8/6 & 8/13
Aug. 15th, 2014 07:02 pmFor two weeks worth of books, not a very big pile. Starting with the new Astro City about an old lady who runs a roadside attraction/museum of damaged robots. Of the super-villainous lackey variety...
Then another Princess Ugg, where-in our titular character explains why she's attempting to get thru a "civilized" finishing school. And then tries to engage in diplomacy with her roommate/archenemy...
The latest Lobster Johnson, mini "Get the Lobster" finishes up with a blimp-board fight to the death...
Another print issue of the Legend of Bold Riley. Where Riley meets an old lady who invites her to take shelter from a coming storm. And then goes on a vision quest while looking at some hand-woven rugs. Also why smoking something...
The second issue of Rocket Raccoon is mostly Rocket jail breaking with the aid of a smuggled in twig-Groot. Still think the vengeful exes plot-line is dumb...
The New Warriors continue their rescue mission for Haechi and Sun Girl from the new Inhumans. Except I guess their were two groups of renegade Inhumans? And one was attempting to use the "recruiting" of Haechi to impress the other? I think?
Invincible sees the birth of Mark & Eve's daughter as Robot continues his bid for world conquest. And as part of that he makes the Viltrumites an offer...
And finally Shutter with Kate sitting down with her newly revealed little brother. And having his age make her realize something new and upsetting about her father...

New Comics Day 2/5 & 2/12/14
Feb. 13th, 2014 06:29 pmThis issue of Knights of the Dinner Table has lots of Weird Pete. First he finishes up his gig as a temp player to run Dave's character as the UT+1 narrowly avoid total disaster while scouting the region where uber-sword Carvin' Marvin is at rest (though Brian still thinks he has a way to game things to his advantage). And then Pete is with his regular Black Hand group as they spend some time gaming at Newt's swanked out game room...
Astro City continues with the character assassination of Winged Victory, although she gets ongoing assistance from Samaratin and the Confessor (and the Confessor's army of Altar Boy agents)...
The 2nd issue of Dead Boy Detectives is actually from January, but I managed to miss it then. Child of celebrity Crystal struggles to fit in at her new boarding school. Or the place that the titular leads were murdered. Which is part of what she is there to investigate...
In order to force Monkey Wizard to kidnap Princess Painting, Finn and Jake team with expert Princess kidnapper the Ice King in Adventure Time: the Flip Side. Which then involves a jewel heist. For reasons...
And a new Lobster Johnson mini, Lobster Johson: Get the Lobster. With the first issue having some berserk pro-wrestlers...
Invincible Universe has the wedding of Kid Thor and Knockout. And like nearly all super-human weddings it goes...less..than perfectly...
And a new arc of Fatale with Jo taking a more aggresive role and seeming to have a long-term plan that involves former writer Nicolas...

New Comics Day 11/13/13
Nov. 14th, 2013 05:37 pmOnly three books for this week, not counting finding the issue I missed for itty bitty Hellboy. And also from Dark Horse, the finale for the current Resident Alien mini. And although the murder is solved, it looks like Doc might be having future problems thanks to his illusionary disguise not working on film...
Adventure Time: Candy Capers has the ever more frustrated Peppermint Butler continuing to search for the missing Finn & Jake. Ian McGinty draws some crazy good Sad/Anger Face Peppermint Bulter. Oh man, the in house ads have 2014 book being written by Paul Tobin & Collen Coover. Though drawn by Wook Jin Clark rather than Ms. Coover...
And Astro City takes a look at the interaction of a crooked union boss and the cosmic ambassador from the first issue...
