You'd think with tomorrow being Valentine's Day that there'd be some love-themed comics to look forward to (!) but you'd be wrong... Which is not to say it's a weak week, cuz it ain't! Just check out this stellar line-up...
Batman # 663 - Grant Morrison returns after a 4-issue hiatus, and hopefully regains the amazing momentum he built up in his first storyline, "Batman and Son"! I really love his take on the Dark Knight here and clearly I'm not alone, as the book saw a huge jump in sales for his previous story.
Justice Society of America # 3 - Possibly my favourite regular title right now, this gem just keeps getting better. This is the book I'd send back in time twenty-five years to convince myself that comics will still be great in the 21st century, if I thought I needed to... and had a time machine... and wasn't worried about cracking the whole space/time continuum wide open......
Manhunter # 28 - Though slated for cancellation soon, I still enjoy the unpredictable antics of Kate Spencer, lawyer by day and superheroine by night! And this issue guest-stars Batman (always a clear sign of impending doom for third-tier titles like this one).
Superman and Batman Vs Aliens and Predator # 2 - The first issue wasn't great, but it was definitely interesting, with the twist that the Predators came to regard Batman as some sort of tribal god because of his array of weapons and fighting prowess. I definitely didn't see that coming, and somehow it still worked.
Astonishing X-Men # 20 - More Joss Whedon and John Cassaday magic, now in Outer Space! And with only four more issues after this one, we'd best enjoy it while we can.
Thunderbolts # 111 - The previous issue kicked off the new Warren Ellis/Mike Deodato run with a bang, as I jumped on board with little background and still was able to enjoy where it went. This is proving to be a good place to explore the ramifications of Civil War without having to cover the same old ground.. after all, this is the villains' book!
