New comics

Always catching up w/ new comics.

Black Canary: Best of the Best 2

Black Canary continues to get her ass kicked by Lady Shiva as we flash back to her training regimen for the bout, mentored by her hard-as-nails mother.  Solid, straightforward storytelling from Tom King.

Question: All Along the Watchtower 2

This is comfort food comics.  Nothing I’ll remember after it’s over, but something I’ll enjoy coming back to years from now.

Absolute Wonder Woman 3

Holy crap is this good.  The thing with the arm!  This feels so new and special, I love it.

Wonder Woman 16

Tom King is having so much fun w/ Detective Chimp here, and I’m right there with him.  Detective Chimp.  Someone I did not expect to see in this comic.

Absolute Batman 3

Almost up there with Absolute Wonder Woman.  This feels old and new at the same time, some magical alchemy of Dark Knight Returns drawn by Batman: Year One’s David Mazzucchelli with another topping of Elseworlds.  Can’t wait to read more.

Plastic Man No More! 4

I so regret getting this.  Will keep it around, but full expect to cut this next time around.

Birds of Prey 16

Cassandra Cain die-harding it up is a fun read.  I think I’ll keep getting this w/out a sub, flip through it first in the store.  

Ultimate Spider-Man 12

An old-school “the good guys get a month off to celebrate a holiday with their loved ones” issue.  WIth a final twist that completely worked on me.  Jonathan Hickman continues to outkick his coverage.

Battle Action vol 1, 2

War story anthology collections, led by Garth Ennis.  I got these mostly for his Johnny Red stories.  They’re fine.
