Re: So, What comics did you buy this week?

Here was 4/8s books from three(!) weeks ago. Yikes. Falling behind on my reading.
Absolute Green Lantern 13. We diverge from main story again to travel to the planet Rann where an Overseer(the Adam Strange of this universe) has been tasked with tracking the rogue GL elements leaving Earth. Allana is a Darkstar in this world and she killed her own father, who was branded a radical for designing his Zeta Beam. Dark stuff. This series is getting more interesting with each issue.
Amazing Spidey 26. Death Spiral continues. Torment has bonded with Carnage. Spidey and MJ take Eddie to the hospital. Then Spidey has to go rescue a cousin he didn’t know he had from Torment.
Dark Knight Triumphant. Facsimile reprint of the 2nd DKR issue. Batman defeats the mutant leader. Jim Gordon is replaced as Commissioner.
Black Cat 9. Felicia and MJ spend several years in an alt dimension the Seige Perilous sent them to. MJ is a famous actress, and Felicia is a frumpy housewife and mother to Peter’s kids. Then the sometime hero Singularity finds them and pulls them back into their own dimension.
Fury of Firestorm 1. A new ongoing from Jeff Lemire. Firestorm lands in a small Colorado town and proceeds to turn everyone into salt. The govt calls in Firehawk to figure out what happened to Firestorm, and she realizes the Firestorm matrix is acting independently, without the control of either Ronnie or the Professor. Scary stuff.
GIJoe:ARAH 327. An all girls team of CoverGirl, Jinx, Dawn, Sherlock, and Long Range on a mission in Sierra Gordo where Revanche has built another TerrorDrome.
GIJoeARAH Silent Missions:Crimson Guardsman oneshot. Gabriel Hardman draws an excellent issue where a recently promoted CG has to help Cobra Commander escape a full on Joe assault on Cobra Island.
Sirens:Love Hurts 3. Black Canary and the Sirens continue to track down a serial killer while Dinah is preparing for her upcoming wedding. Lots of ‘f’ words, but the story is pretty blah. I’m sorry I wasted the money on this series.
Iron Man 4. Trapped on AIMs helicarrier, Tony makes contact with the surviving kidnapped geniuses and helps them escape. But before he can go with them, he’s confronted by the Fixer in his Advanced Iron Man armor.(A.I.M. Get it?)
Knull 4. Knull confronts that alt-universe Eddie Brock who’s made of light. After a bunch of monologuing, Knull kills him and absorbs his power then returns to the main universe just in time for round two with Thanos.
Moonstar 2. Dani Moonstar is tracking down the evil
guy with the mystic sword. Eh.
Psylocke:Ninja 4. To help rescue Jubilee from Aardwolf and the SnakeRoot ninjas, Psylocke has to track down Elektra for a team up.
Star Wars:Shadow of Maul 2. Maul is hardly in this. Mostly it’s the vice cop trying to outsmart two rival crime lords by pitting them against each other. Which is fine, but just don’t throw Maul’s name on the cover to sell books.
Action Comics 1097. J’onn J’onnz, Booster Gold, and Mary Marvel have traveled into the past to get Superboy’s help in defeating a time traveler. Without spilling too much info on Clark’s destiny in the future.
Mortal Thor. Sigurd has to fight the Radioactive Man with nothing but a hammer.
Transformers 31. We flashback to the 10,000 trials the Quintessons put Megatron thru before he broke and pledged himself to Megatronus.
The End 2099 5. Mephisto’s heroes retrieve the Ultimate Nullifier and convince Galactus to reject Knull’s bond with him and destroy them both. Mephisto gives Dracula Galactus’ heart and the rest of the heroes return to Earth to continue to fight evil. So it wasn’t The End after all. Maybe it was just Steve Orlando wrapping up his story arc over the last several 2099 minis.
Web of Venom oneshot. Fred Myers aka Boomerang, gets his own symbiote and tries being a hero with it.
Wolverine 18. Wolverine finds Romulus’ dead body in the forest, and then gets into a huge fight with Hercules, who has been possessed by the Adamantine spirit. Ugh.
Uncanny X-Men 26. The Outliers are all having bad dreams and wake up in the past as an alt version of the New Mutants when they first got recruited as the next mutant team.
Uncanny X-Men Annual 1. Because all annuals are numbered ‘1’. Recounts the first team up of the 19th century mutant team, the Regulators, as they protect Haven House from racist rednecks. And look, the ubiquitous Logan is there, because apparently his super power is to cross paths and be present for any culturally significant moment in the last 150 years. Ugh. Just go away Logan.
Next up, 3/15s books.
