If it's Tuesday, there must be comics coming out tomorrow! Here're the ones that most quicken my pulse in anticipation.
Amazons Attack! # 3 (of 6): This wacky mini-series keeps rolling along, both here and in Wonder Woman (also out this week). The last issue had at least one glaring continuity error between a scene it showed and what was featured in Diana's regular title (in terms of her arrival onto the battlefront) which you'd really think a good editor could ensure wouldn't happen. Otherwise, though, it was a good read. They do really need to start dealing, head-on, with how weird a set-up the whole thing is (Amazons with swords and spears threatening a 21st century US military not to mention hundreds of superheroes). Maybe this week?
Countdown # 44: Ties into Amazons Attack!
Wonder Woman # 10: Ditto!
Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps Special # 1: As if Amazons attacking wasn't enough, we've also got Green Lantern nemesis Sinestro starting up his very own collection of fear-inducing villains. This reverse image of the Green Lantern Corps has been building slowly in the background, but with this Special it looks like it's going to burst onto the DC Universe and start wreaking havok. Maybe Countdown will be tying into this storyline soon?
Criminal # 7: I'm actually really starting to get into this Ed Brubaker-helmed, non-superhero title that I only initially picked up because Ed was the writer and I wanted to send the message, "Publish more books by guys like this!" Since I don't normally frequent too many comics outside the favoured genre, I didn't expect to stick with it very long. But it's really well-written, well-drawn, and doesn't glamourize the criminals who take up the lead role each month. I'm solidly behind this title for the foreseeable future now.
Daredevil # 98: More Ed Brubaker, and some of the best DD stuff I've ever read! The last couple issues, featuring the Gladiator's bizarre and uncharacteristic rampage (which I can't help but suspect is being masterminded by Killgrave, the Purple Man, whose power is that people do whatever he tells them to!) have been almost painful to read, they're so full of excrutiating moments for Matt Murdock, his wife and the rest of the supporting cast. And last issue ended with DD handcuffed in the back of a cop car, just as his blind wife wandered into a room occupied by the crazed Gladiator, himself! How'd I ever wait the whole month for this issue?! (Trivia fact: Killgrave's first appearance? Daredevil (1st Marvel series) # 4!)
Immortal Iron Fist # 6: And still more Ed Brubaker (co-writing with Matt Fraction)! Three Bru titles in one week! Wowza! I'm in Brubaker Heaven!
Silver Surfer: Requiem # 2 (of 4): JMS' first issue was one of the best reads I had last month, so I've got sky-high hopes for this mini-series now. The artwork was also gorgeous, leaving me breathless for more. Hopefully I won't be disappointed.
