not a draught just a SHIP: Apr. 25, 2007

It's up here.

For me:

52 WEEK #51: back to the plot!
WILL EISNER'S SPIRIT ARCHIVES VOL. 21 HC: although I think this might be where Eisner drifted away from it
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN VOL. 1 HC: hyper-deluxe reprint of all the Ditko material, supposedly with the best reproduction yet; I think it goes without saying that I'm going the Amazon route for this
DAREDEVIL #96: la la la back to the status quo la la

So not a big week in some sense; in another sense, the biggest week of the year for me...

52 WEEK #51
AMAZONS ATTACK #1 Maybe
BATMAN CONFIDENTIAL #5 Definitely not as good as the Superman book
CATWOMAN #66 Expecting another solid issue with not much to say about it
JSA CLASSIFIED #25
JUSTICE #11
SUPERGIRL AND THE LEGION OF SUPER HEROES #29
WETWORKS #8
WONDER WOMAN #8
DAREDEVIL #96
FANTASTIC FOUR #545
POWERS #24
PUNISHER PRESENTS BARRACUDA MAX #3

52.51 (please don't suck as bad as last week)
Daredevil

Maybe one or two other things, since I was counting on spending the dough anyway on Monster Society of Evil, which is apparently pushed back.

52, Supergirl & Legion, Wonder Woman, Daredevil. Maybe JSA. Also, the final BKV Runaways digest for my bookshelf.

RIP Wetworks - my Mike Carey love can only take so much idiotic Underworld-esque vamp / werefolk shenanigans.

Dudes, DID YOU KNOW that there's a TPB collecting all of Alan Moore's Future Shocks? I totally bought it (for shipping this week)! And I am PSYCHED!

― David R., Monday, 23 April 2007 17:05 (nineteen years ago)

Yikes, after 75$ (at US cover prices) last week, this barely seems worth the 2.25$ bus fare.

52 WEEK #51
BLUE BEETLE #14

PLEASE TO RECOMMEND MORE NON-FICTION/NON-FICTION-Y CARTOONIST STUFF LIKE HOUDINI AND THE SALON (AND LOUIS RIEL)

― Dr. Superman, Monday, 23 April 2007 17:09 (nineteen years ago)

Did you read Jessica Abel's La Perdida?

― Mr. Perpetua, Monday, 23 April 2007 18:37 (nineteen years ago)

I mean, it's not non-fiction, but close...

― Mr. Perpetua, Monday, 23 April 2007 18:37 (nineteen years ago)

Nothing for me, awesome

― Jordan, Monday, 23 April 2007 18:41 (nineteen years ago)

Just Daredevil, which may very well be good!

― R Baez, Monday, 23 April 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

Daredevil and fiffftteeedduuu

― Chuck_Tatum, Monday, 23 April 2007 20:07 (nineteen years ago)

Do you know if it's just his Future Shocks or all his 2000AD shorts? I'd guess the latter, there's some very good stuff there either way. I do wish they wouldn't only ever reprint the Moore ones though - there's Morrison, Milligan, Gaiman (well, once), and no doubt many others waiting in the archives. Best Of Future Shocks!

― Groke, Monday, 23 April 2007 20:31 (nineteen years ago)

52 (will they ever resolve anything?)
Blue Beetle
Supergirl And The LOSH
Fantastic Four
Wisdom, which is actually pretty good!

― Amadeo, Monday, 23 April 2007 23:20 (nineteen years ago)

Nothing for me until the Comics Journal turns up in bookshop. I'm in Brisbane this week and was hoping to find Peepshow #14, since my shop didn't order it and refuse to reorder it, while lying, but everyone I've spoken to says they haven't seen it either.

I mean, it's not non-fiction, but close...

It's fucking over-the-top cliched melodrama! DUMB GRINGO CHICK BONES LOCAL ROUGH TRADE, GETS CAUGHT UP IN KIDNAPPING AND DRUG-RUNNING OH NOES WILL HER ALABASTER SKIN BE SULLIED* is not a sober piece of reportage.

Does the latest Moore Tooth-shorts (yeah, I think it does include Time Twisters as well) book even include the ones he insisted on being left out of the old FS book cos he'd plagiarised them?

*I still haven't read #5

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=57&threadid=1487 = La Perdida thread (not risking hyperlinks in the current coding situation)

― Daniel_Rf, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 10:45 (nineteen years ago)

Just saw "Hot Fuzz", incidentally -- the first Garth Ennis movie?

Heh.

Worst Week Ever. But I've gotta recommend God Save the Queen. Otherwise - this week drought = next week bounty?

The Bucky O'Hare thing seems to be calling me by name....

― Stone Monkey, Friday, 27 April 2007 11:51 (nineteen years ago)

Did anyone read Amazons Attack? ANYONE?

― Dr. Superman, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:38 (nineteen years ago)

I DID AND IT SUCKED. Well, it was just drab & obnoxious & blah. Tho Pete Woods art is always fun to look @, I just didn't give a shit about a resurrected Hippolyta (rezzed in the pages of WONDER WOMAN of course) going buckwild on the US. Also obnoxious: the semi-crossovers w/ WW proper. I shall buy NO MORE.

― David R., Monday, 30 April 2007 18:41 (nineteen years ago)

hahahahaha, it's REALLY awful yes. has WW had any adventures in the last 20 years that didn't boil down to Circe shenanigans?

― Dr. Superman, Monday, 30 April 2007 20:39 (nineteen years ago)

Oh! And regarding ALAN MOORE FUTURE SHOCKS - it seems to be an odds-n-ends collection, w/ FUTURE SHOCKS & other stuff he's worked on that's not-so-easily collected. So far, I'm enjoying Humorous / Puerile Alan Moore much more than Pithy / Witty Alan Moore, & there seems to be a 1:5 ratio in that regard in this book.

― David R., Monday, 30 April 2007 20:42 (nineteen years ago)

As for Circe Chick: um, no, I don't think so (tho I believe the first 2 years of George Perez's run were relatively Circe-free) (check 'em out, if you have the technology, especially the 4-part FIGHT WITH THE GODS thing that might've gently xed-over w/ MILLENIUM) (issues 10-13).

RIP Rucka's WW ;_;
