Yes, new comics DID come out today, even though it’s Veteran’s Day!
Realm of Kings: Imperial Guard #1 – Not bad. I haven’t kept up with Marve’s cosmic stuff as much as I’d like, but I’m enjoying Gladiator as the new Shi’Ar Majestor.
Dark X-Men #1 – Oh, well. Okay. Let’s just re-introduce a whole bunch of forgotten X-Men family characters, like the Mimic, Weapon Omega, and… The X-Man?
Green Arrow/Black Canary #26 – Wait, what? Two Ollie Queens? …did I miss something? I thought I’ve been reading this series since #1.
Deadpool #17 – Deadpool continues to try and join the X-Men. Good fun, but Daniel Way uses too many censored swear words (#&%@!). More than once per issue is really distracting, and takes me out of the story.
S.W.O.R.D. #1 – A solid start for the SWORD series, but what’s up with Beast’s face? I’m not sure if this series is necessary, but more info on Abigail Brand is certainly needed for casual Marvel readers.
Amazing Spidey #611 – The banter between Spider-Man and Deadpool is always exquisite!
Strange #1 – Quite fun. Emma Rios & Christina Strain KILL on the artwork chores. I wish more comics were like this; everything is far too epic and crossover-y, right now. I like simple, fun, one-off adventures.
Batgirl #4 – Ah, yes. This is what I was waiting for the last three issues to get to. Stephanie with Oracle backing her up. Wonderful issue.
Batman & Robin #6 – Wait, whaaaat? So, is this out-of-continuity? Or are the DC editors just THAT out of touch with each other…?
Red Robin #6 – I read about half the issue and gave up. I just don’t care. Glad to see Marcus To getting work, though.
Batman #693 – Intriguing.
