A day late, but I finally got my comics. So, what did everyone get this time around? Rather an anemic week, but a decent stack... Book Of Lost Souls #4 Cable/Deadpool #24 Thunderbolts #17 (Zemo's back.  ) A little surprising to see nothing from DC, but I guess that's the way it goes. |

Marvel-heavy for me too:
I popped for -
Desolation Jones #5; teasing plotwise, but absolootely beautiful. God called, JH, and he says you can take over.
The Essential Official History of the Marvel Universe; it's not as good as I remember - I thought there was a bit more biography, but I always loved these kinda things, from the original trade I had of vol.2 or 3 of the (ominously entitled) Book of the Dead to the binder cards. No Crossbones, either; presumably he came along post-'86 or whenever this was published, but otherwise, a valuable treasury.
and
Fantastic Four/Iron Man: Big In Japan #1-3: I cannot buh-leeve I slept on this until now. It is a thing to behold, from Fisher's wonderfully comical, crammed cartooning to an uberplot that'd put Grant M to bed with a smile on his face, it basically rocked my azz. FUN-tastic. After loving (the aforementioned JHW's, D. Curtis Johnson and) Fisher's LOTDK, I think it's past time that I ever deny myself any've his books again.

So you'd recommend getting them both Duncan?
I've only got one comic in this week, Star Wars: Republic, and that's it. I'd been thinking of getting that LOTDK arc but didn't in the end (splurged on all the post-Moore Tom Stong instead. Bru, unsurprisingly, was best). Hadn't heard much on FF/IM, besides it seeling really crappy, but have been sort-of impressed with what I've read of Wells (it's him right?) in the past.

Yeah, it's him; didn't he win some Wizard prize or something to become a Marvel writer? I've not read anything by him before, but this is suh-weet. Yeah, get FF/IM and get 'Snow'; no need to miss out.
(I like Steve Aylett's Jenny Panic story best, I think. But the Fegredo art is winning.)
