Comics For 11/16

[Gray Lensman]

Another shipment has come and gone. So what did everyone get?

My haul for today...

Captain Universe: X-23 #1 (Which should have been called Scorpion: Guest Starring X-23. Scorp overshadows X-23 badly from what I've read, but since Scorp is a vastly better character, this is a good thing. )

Supergirl #3

Books Of Doom #1: Doom's my favorite villain, and Brubaker can write dark stuff, so we'll see...

All-Star Superman #1

Runaways #10

Birds of Prey #88

Green Lantern #5

I also picked up The Book Of Lost Souls #1-2, just to see if JMS can deliver the goods this time...

*

Not a bad week, all in all.

[Elliot Kane]

I'd better brace myself to be shouted at if you hate Book Of Lost Souls... ;D

[Gray Lensman]

Well, I won't hate the art, if that helps any. ;D

[Elliot Kane]

With Colleen Doran on art, I'd be worried if you did... ;D

[The Spider]

Just All-Star Superman #1 so far, and I picked up a copy of Corporate Ninja #1 because the creator was doing a signing at the comic shop I went to.

[Gay Titan]

Birds of Prey #88...great characterization.

Were the Captain Universe titles worth reading?

[Gray Lensman]

The X-23 issue was decent, but not great. Jay Faerber is a solid writer from what I've seen, and the art's pretty good. That said, I only picked it up because I'm interested in the new Scorpion. She came across well here. If you're interested in X-23, though, you may be disappointed.

I can't speak for the other one-shots, because I haven't read them. On the plus side, you don't need to buy all the one-shots to figure out what's going on, which is nice. I may possibly get the Invisible Woman issue, but I haven't decided yet.
