Fables #81 - Pick of the week, hands-down. When recording my show yesterday, I almost, almost shed some tears. Finally a meaningful death in comics. No explosions, nothing shocking, just something plain and simple. It's those kind of deaths that really do a number on you. Everything from Mr. Dark slowly building an army and new HQ, to the final resting place overlooking the baseball field. Very beautiful issue, and possibly the best issue of Fables I've ever read.

B.P.R.D. The Black Goddess #2 - I really enjoyed the twist that Gilfryd isn't the droid they were looking for. He's the ally they didn't know they needed. Next issue should be nothing but insane battle sequences! Great issue.

Gravel #9 - I really enjoyed the first 8 issues, and this issue makes me excited for the upcoming ones! The way I can sorta describe this series is "Harry Potter for mature audiences". Ellis continues to amaze me with the multiple books he's working on.

Green Lantern Corps #33 - Mongul vs Arkillo? Fuck yes. I'm just waiting for Sinestro to return and scold both kids for making such a ruckus while he was gone.

Thor #600 - I was most pleased that this issue was well worth the $5 price tag. Everything from the epic main story, to the Stan Lee & David Aja story, to the Mini Marvel Thor. Definitely got bang for your buck on this one!

Incognito #2 - Is it possible to marry both Phillips AND Brubaker? I'd make a loving husband to both. I can cook, clean, read all upcoming issues, tell them how much I enjoy their work, etc. Phillips, Brubaker; call me.

Batman #686 - I'm not sure when / where it's taking place, but both story and art restored my faith in this title. Gaiman's tales are such fun reads, and I can't wait for the second issue.

Captain Britain & MI:13 #10 - VAMPIRES LAUNCHED FROM MOON! Certainly the most original idea I've witnessed this year! This book continues to be a fun read every month, and I look forward for the next issue.

Hexed #2 - I think I'm more in love with the art than the story. The art and colors hypnotize me, and make me enjoy every page.

Nightwing #153 - It was a good choice to put Tomasi on Nightwing. Ever since he entered the scene, I've been loving Nightwing again. And this final issue was a great, fitting end to the series (for now).

Stephen Colbert's Tek Jansen #4 - I totally forgot this book existed. I thought by now it was done and in trade format already. I gotta say, this issue wasn't worth the wait. I'll probably skip issue #5 and pick-up the trade when I see it in the 75%-off bin.

More to come later.

Nightwing #153 - All round good final issue. Heartfelt which I liked. Good job Tomasi!

Batman #686: Started off brilliantly, but lost my interest as it went forward. good art and well written, just a bit long-winded and uneventful. I liked the idea of all the people Batman has ever known (good or bad) all coming together at his secret funeral. A good issue all in all. Great artwork

Action Comics #874: Top notch Superman stuff right here. What more could anyone ask from a Superman comic? You get everything you want in here. great story, I want to know what happens next desperately!!! Tense ending


Simon Dark #17: Terrible. It's as if Steve Niles isnt even trying. It's going to get cancelled after the next issue so why cant he at least try to end it well instead of producing this shit.
