Dean’s Top Picks
Best From The Past Week: Hulk #26 – This title now has the championship belt for “best Marvel ongoing” IMO. Jeff Parker isn’t screwing around and milking a simple story across 6 issues….he’s just cramming and entire trade’s worth of story into a single issue. And Gabriel Hardman’s art is just incredibly good. Start reading this one now.
Most Anticipated: Scalped #42 – This could be ‘pick of the week’ every time it comes out, but after a lot of table setting, I get the feeling that things are going to start boiling over sooner rather than later in Jason Aaron’s excellent Native American crime drama.
Other Picks: Bulletproof Coffin #5, Amazing Spider-Man #646, Incorruptible #11, Incognito Bad Influences #1, Avengers #6
Alex’s Top Picks
Best From The Past Week: Fables #99 – A really fantastic issue of Fables that did everything right and made #100 one of the most exciting prospects for next month. Big powers, tension you could cut with a knife, and fantastic artwork that I couldn’t get enough of makes this a treat for Fables fans.
Most Anticipated: Action Comics #894 – Paul Cornell’s Action Comics is my favourite DCU title right now. It’s energetic and witty and has awesome artwork. This month, it sees the addition of one my favourite comics characters of all time, and a Vertigo one at that. Now, putting aside how awesome this collision of DCU with Vertigo is, I have to admit I’m also biased; Vertigo was really how got into comics so this really does have a special appeal for me. Either, this is a landmark, it’s a guaranteed hit, and I highly recommend picking this up even if you’ve never picked up Action before. BUY THIS.
Other Picks: Fantastic Four #584, Avengers #6, Secret Avengers #6, Scalped #42, Captain America #611, Secret Warriors #21, Madame Xanadu #28, Wonder Woman #604, Superman #704
