Indie Pull List - Week of June 3rd, 2015

I won't lie - I totally lied to those who follow the Twitter.  The Indies were indeed NOT up last night as advertised.  In my slight defense it wasn't a total lie.  I really intended to put them up. But a buddy of mine sent me some music he wrote that he needed vocals on and I kind of got stoked on this one song so I recorded it last night while the coals of inspiration were still hot. Luckily, he liked what I did, so, it was worth it.  But, still:

Big Trouble In Little China Vol. 1 

I think I'm still high on cult classics after seeing the new Mad Max this weekend so when I saw a Big Trouble book coming out I had to throw it up.  It's written by Eric Powell and John Carpenter.  Yeah, the John Carpenter that created the original - so, that should make this feel more like a sequel and not just the "Continuing Adventures of Jack Burton".  Kudos to Boom! for this one.  

Publisher: Boom! Studios
SRP: $14.99
Contains: Big Trouble In Little China #1-4
CRD: June 9th, 2015

Crypt Of Horror Vol. 25

I threw this up because I like the old school horror comics and thought this would be fun to look up.  It's proving to be a little more difficult than I originally thought.  Amazon.ca doesn't have it listed for Canadian info and My Comic Shop has a few of the trades listed but not this particular one.  I ended up going to the AC Comics website for proper info.  These collections feature 140 pages of pre-comics code stories from names like Bud Powell, Steve Ditko and Mike Esposito.  Good stuff.

Contains: Various stories by various authors

Angry Birds/Transformers - Age Of Eggstinction

IDW does some of the weirdest crossover's but this one has to take the cake.  They literally must have grabbed names from a hat and said, "sure, whatever".  Apparently there's Autobirds and Deceptipigs and the Allspark ends up on Piggie Island so the Transformer's have to, I guess, fight the Deceptipigs with the Autobirds.  Judging by that plot the writer must have said, "sure, whatever" as well.

Marvel Pull List - Week of June 3rd, 2015

I started lining everything up for this week's Marvel post without a clue about what to write in this very space.  I was even considering throwing up the disclaimer and going with a quickie, (as cheap as that is), and then I noticed a $500 book in the list.  Wow!  Now I've got something to write about...after I research....

Ok, this is the way to become a Secret Wars expert.  This book contains 11 volumes that have both of the original Secret Wars and the Nick Fury lead Secret Wars event from the mid-2000's; all, (yes ALL), of the tie-ins for all three events and some alternate take material, (a Spider-Man centric look at the first Secret War), plus a poster by Alex Ross. Hands down, without a doubt, this gets the Hardcover Highlight of the week.  It's like an omnibus on steroids!!  The contents are as follows, and all in Premier Hardcover, (which is nicer than normal hardcover, I guess):  

• MARVEL SUPER HEROES SECRET WARS: TO BATTLEWORLD AND BACK 
• 
  
• MARVEL SUPER HEROES SECRET WARS
• 
  
• THING: BATTLEWORLD
• 
  
• SECRET WARS II VOL. 1-4

Venom By Rick Remender - The Complete Collection Vol. 1 

The first of two planned volumes collecting Rick Remender's version of Venom.  It's Flash Thompson wearing the symbiote this time around and he appears to be working with the government, which doesn't necessarily mean he's always doing the right thing.  He's a soldier who's following orders...in a Venom suit.  This collection also includes a What If...? tale where Deadpool bonds with the symbiote.  I'm sure that will be ridiculous.

SRP: $34.99

Contains: Venom (2011) #1-12 and What If...? Venom Deadpool

CRD: June 23rd, 2015

Marvel Universe - Ant-Man Digest

This actually seems like it's aimed more at children, collecting a lot of issues from Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes and no doubt designed to get them excited for the upcoming feature film.  Marvel also released a hardcover prose novel featuring Ant-Man to try and get the more literary crowd interested in the new movie.  I'm sure this is just the beginning of books featuring Hank Pym that we'll see this summer.     

SRP: $9.99
Contains: Marvel Adventures Super Heroes (1st Series) #6 and 10, Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes  #17, and material from AVENGERS: EARTH'S MIGHTIEST HEROES #4 and SUPER HEROES #19

DC Pull List - Week of May 27th, 2015

I can't believe I forgot about the Indies!!  I even had the post half-started and I was going to finish it Saturday night but band practice ran long and then I was getting ready for the Anime Convention and then yesterday was said convention.  Ah, I'm such a failure!  I debated throwing the Indies up tonight and then doing DC tomorrow, but really there wasn't anything overly interesting going on in the Indie world.  I'm back on track now by throwing DC up and hopefully I can stay there.  All though, I'm supposed to be going to see Mad Max next Saturday....

Ok, ok, I'll put up the Indies first.  Geez, Rockatansky, don't need to point a sawed-off at me.

Batgirl Vol. 5: Deadline

The little that I have read of the New 52 Batgirl stories have been well written and entertaining. The only thing I will say, which most people agree on, is they shouldn't have "cured" Barbara. I know, I know, she's been stuck in that chair for 20 years or whatever it is now, but she was an awesome symbol and role model for handicapped people of all ages and creeds.  I get why they did it and it is hard to keep things fresh for a character when nothing changes.  I just felt like that was something they should have left the same.  She was a positive message.  Now she's just another superhero, even if she is a well written one.  While I'm sort of on the topic, it also bothered me when DC wouldn't let the writers show Batwoman get married.  Why the hell not?!  Last time I looked at a calendar it was 2015 and gay marriage is now a part of our landscape.  I love DC but they sometimes have some unrepentantly old school ways of thinking about things.  

SRP: $17.99
Contains:  Batgirl (4th Series) #27-34, ANNUAL #2 and Batgirl: Futures End

CRD: June 2nd, 2015

Batman Adventures Vol. 2 

The notable thing about this book is it collects the very first comic book appearance of Harley Quinn.  These aren't new stories like I thought.  They're reprints of a mid-90's series called, you guessed it, Batman Adventures.  These must have been going on around the time that Batman: The Animated Series was dominating the airwaves as the art style is very close to that. Probably nothing in here that would be cannon, per se, but it might still be worth a look - even just for Harley's comic book debut. 

SRP: $19.99
Contains: Batman Adventures (1st series) #11-20

********************************************************************

Half and half for the Big Blue this week.  Couple of Superhero books and a couple of alternative titles.  

JLA Vol. 7

Continuing the reprint of the complete run of the mid 90's, (well, it crossed decades, but it started in the 90's) version of the JLA rebooted by Grant Morrison.  The current collection continues Joe Kelly and Doug Mahnke's turn at the helm.  A lot of the original, smaller trades for this series are out of print and kind of expensive, (I noticed one of them selling for $75 through an eBay type deal).  I'm going to be snatching these up while they're available.  

SRP: $24.99

Contains: JLA #77-93

CRD:  May 26th, 2015 

The Unwritten Vol. 11 Apocalypse

This is the last volume that reprints the series by Mike Carey under the Vertigo banner.  I didn't know any of that when I randomly selected this title out of curiosity.  Sounds like some good fantasy.  Lot's of other author's with quotes on the book about how smart it is, how they wish they'd thought of it, how fun and addictive it is et cetera, et cetera. 

SRP: $16.99
Contains: Unwritten: Apocalypse #7-12
CRD:  May 26th, 2015

FBP - Federal Bureau Of Physics Vol. 3: Standing On Shoulders
Ex Machina Vol. 5
Batman Detective Comics Vol. 5: Gothopia 
Batman Detective Comics Volume 6 Icarus (HC)

Lots of trades from the Raging Red this week.   

Thanos Vs Hulk

I almost published the new post without writing anything about this book!  It's Jim Starlin so I know the cosmic stuff will be handled well, (he did some of those kinds of books for DC and I enjoyed them).  This mini series was from last year so I'm not sure if anything in here will tie in to the upcoming Infinity Gauntlet movie or if it's a mostly unrelated story that just happens to star an Avenger.  There's an issue of Warlock from the mid-70's included after the mini-series so I can only assume it ties in somehow.  

SRP: $16.99

Contains: Thanos vs. Hulk  #1-4 and Warlock (1st Series) #12

CRD: June 9th, 2015

Deadpool Classic Vol. 11: Merc With A Mouth 

I'm not really surprised that Deadpool has trades coming out with the "Classic" sub-heading, (he's what?  25 years old now?), I'm more surprised that there's enough 'classic' material to fill 11 volumes. And considering this one is reprinting stuff that's only 5 or 6 years old it does seem that everything Deadpool has ever done is classic.

Indie Pull List - Week of May 20th, 2015

Look at IDW getting all hardcover, deluxe-ish, limited edition-y crazy.  It's a good thing they did because the Hardcover Highlight is the Maxx - Maxximized (Deluxe Edition).  I read some of the old Maxx comics, but most of my Maxx memories come from watching the animated series on late night re runs.  This hardcover collects the first four issues of the re released, original issues that have been "Maxximized" with the whole process being overseen by Sam Keith.   It does carry a hefty price tag, though - $125.00. Apparently that comes with a bonus piece of artwork by Keith and a limited run of 175.  Even with all that it's still a little high on the ouch factor, especially with the meat of the book being only 104 pages.  I'm sure it's a very nice book but I don't know if nostalgia is worth that much.  You can also get these issues in a more reasonable, (but still a little higher) priced hardcover for $21.99  And I was so pumped when I started this Hardcover Highlight...

Clive Barker’s Nightbreed Vol. 1

I'm actually surprised this didn't come out 20 years ago when the movie first came out.  It's been a cult classic for a while so at the very least I'm surprised it didn't come out 5 or 10 years ago.  But, regardless, it's here now.  The Midian is such a ripe creation that any number of stories could be told within it and feature any number of characters and it's all justified. You also don't need to have seen the original movie to understand the core concept.  This is a great idea for a series, hopefully it IS great.

Oh, ok, this is a manga.  Not that there's anything wrong with that and I don't know why I thought it wouldn't be.  Anyway.  It's popular.  New York Times Bestseller list popular.  And my buddy just said he thinks it's been turned into an anime.  The Twin Lovers in the title are Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum who have lost some wait and gotten considerable plastic surgery, (they're featured on the cover).  Apparently there's also a game and light novels that are part of this whole, I guess, franchise, you'd call it.

Secret Warriors - The Complete Collection Vol. 1

I know nothing about this but am always enticed by Complete, Omnibus, Absolute, Epic collections.  Seems like Nick Fury has moved on from S.H.E.I.L.D. and now he's training the offspring of other Marvel heroes.  I'm sure it's way more gritty than it sounds judging by the cover art and it's pretty easy to imagine a grizzled Nick Fury taking on a surogate father or wise Uncle role so I'm sure there'll be some good stuff going on here.

Civil War - Ms. Marvel

With the Civil War movie coming out next year, (I think), I wonder if the Big Red is hinting at a new silver screen appearance debuting during said movie?  And with the rumblings in regards to the somewhat misogynist attitude Marvel Studios seems to have, adding another female or two to the Cinematic Universe couldn't hurt.  Doing my research I found out this volume was originally published under the name Ms. Marvel By Brian Reed Vol. 2 so if you all ready have that book, don't bother.  Reprinting it under another title does help the idea that she may be in the final Civil War movie.

Just got back from the local comic book store with a bag full of leftover Free Comic Book Day goodies and was thinking how lucky I was to live in a town that still has a Comic Book store. I'm going to throw up a link for their Facebook page just in case anybody lives in the area and wants to check them out.  They have a good atmosphere, and while their not huge, the friendly faces more then make up for the lack of space.  

Hardcover Highlight was a toss up between the Green Lantern book and the Fables Deluxe.  I went with Fables in the end because I'm all ready cover Green Lantern in the trades and wanted to keep things fresh.

Forever Evil

This collects the 7 issue New 52 mini-series, if that makes you cringe then read no further.  Like most DC mini and maxi events the whole story is told not only in the main book, but also in a series of tie-ins, spin-offs and companions.  I like the epic nature of the DC events but they can sometimes get a little...unfriendly, I guess, for lack of a better term.  Sometimes if you haven't read all, or at least some, of the companion books the main series can feel like there's holes in it. That being said, if you do get the whole picture, their events are fantastic, so, I'm looking forward to this.  The idea that the Crime Syndicate murders the Justice League and takes over sounds like it will probably get explained away at some point but it should still be entertaining while it's happening.  Oh, it's also written by Geoff Johns, which is always a good thing in my books.

Green Lantern Vol. 5: Test Of Wills

Not much to say about this one - it's New 52 Green Lantern goodness. I've read the first 12 or 13 issues and quite enjoyed them. GL is one of the few books that doesn't feel like it changed much after the events of Flashpoint gave us the New 52. There's always been a lot going on in the GL books and lots of characters to follow so it's nice that it stayed familiar.  So, ya....go get on reading some Green Lantern, I guess.  Or something.
