Well on this side of the coast, sun is minimal and ice is all around. Still, it didn’t prevent me from making my regularly scheduled Wednesday stop. Light load this week:

  • Detective #791 - Still hanging on to see where the whole series might go. Slowly making its way to my short “To Drop” list.
  • Coup D’etat: Sleeper - Haven’t read this series yet but it’s Ed Brubaker and Jim Freakin’ Lee so it’s a lock. Plus, I’ll probably get around to reading the first trade soon. TiVo, be damned.
  • Plastic Man #3 - Really into Kyle Baker right now and this book hits the spot. Plot seems somewhat slow but the art totally makes up for it. Great funny book.
  • JSA #58 - What Steve said and more. This book is a manual on how to write an awesome team book
  • Love Fights #7 - Andi Watson knows romance & super heroes (all snickers from Namor aside). This book is just a great read with fully developed characters and animals.
  • Buzzboy: Monsters, Dreams & Milkshakes - Local guy John Gallagher finally comes out with this self-published trade. And it looks like it was worth the wait. Tons of creators (Neil Vokes, Gene Ha, Eduardo Barreto) mix well with this collection of light-hearted, pulp-flavored adventures. All I have to say is “Thank you, sir, may I have another?”

    • With such a small list, it can only mean one thing - Less comics = more TiVo watching for me. Time to rewatch the Pats win another SB and maybe this time, I eat while the game is on.
