Comics I Bought This Week
Just back from the shop and this week I got: Strangers in Paradise #80, Local #4, Red Sonja #7, Jonah Hex #5, Ex Machina #18, and XIII #2. That last one is based on some old video game and looks like it was published in a different format originally. The first issue stared a guy who was modeled after Lee Marvin (I just checked the Lee Marvin comic was a different one not XIII but I can't remember its name).
The disappointments from last weeks books were the two first issues I picked up. Warlord was typical of modern origin issues because nothing happened. And The Portent was pretty but nothing happened and it was not well written.

It's about time Rob chimed in! Here's mine, better late than never:
Green Lantern Corps #5
Good conclusion to a good miniseries. If they do a regular series, I hope they don't screw it up. Alas, they probably will.
Jonah Hex #5
Tony Dezuniga returns to his roots. The guy can still draw. Cool. Great book.
Fear Agent #3
It's a shame this book is so irregular, because it's excellent. My current favorite. What's with comics today? Get your damn books out on time!!
Marvel Zombies #4
The stupid just gets stupiderer. Entertaining as hell. Just check your brain at the door as this book is dumber than the Cap-Wolf saga. Hey Jared, didn't you ask the late, great Mark Gruenwald what was up with that before he died? What was his explanation?
War Of The Worlds: Second Wave #1
This book spends the whole first ish recounting what happened in the original story. Hello!?! We know what happened. Get to the new story, muthafuckas! Either way, I won't bother with issue 2 as neither the art or story is worth coming back for.
Batman: Secrets #1
Sam Keith gets all wacky with the Joker, a character just happens to lend himself to wackiness. Whatever. The art's nice. The story is just OK. I'll pick up issue 2 if I remember and nothing else is on the stands. If not, oh well...
Hellboy: Makoma #2
Super duper art from Richard Corben and Mignola. The story did nothing for me, though. I'll still continue getting any new Hellboy books, as everyone's allowed an off-day. Even Mignola.
Fallen Angel #3
This is a fun book. There's sex and violence and it's well written and beautifully drawn. Pick it up, kids!

I forgot Corben was doing some Hellboy stuff. I'll have to look for it. His Bigfot series was really good.
