Exciting Comics Coming Out Tomorrow (Mar 27th Edition)

A little light on excitement this week, but we do what we can with what we have.

52 # 47 - Black Adam followed up his genocide of the previous issue by going after the mad scientists on Oolong Island who were responsible for creating the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse who killed his wife and brother-in-law... OK, so it's complicated but it's leading up to World War III, DC Universe-style. And that's pretty exciting.

Batman # 664 - Grant Morrison's last issue was a little too out there for me - and it sounds like I was far from alone - but I remain ever hopeful that he'll return to the form he showed in his "Batman and Son" storyline that kicked off this run.

Wonder Woman # 6 - The most exciting thing is that Allan Heinberg and his perennial lateness are gone from this relaunched-in-the-worst-possible-way title. Fiction writer Jodi Picoult is an unknown quantity to me, but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt since Brad Meltzer, Ed Brubaker and Greg Rucka have all worked out pretty well.

Daredevil # 95 - And speaking of Mr Brubaker, here he is writing one of the best DD run's since Frank Miller left in the 80s. His Matt Murdock, while still the driven and living on the edge character he inherited from the previous writer, feels more real to me than any version published in a long time.

What's with renumbering Daredevil? Shouldn't it be at issue 456 by now?

# 1's sell more than # 422's do.

I blogged about this awhile ago, but can't bothered finding the link right now.
