Amazing Spider-man #599 - One more to go for 600, Brand New Day has been decent.

Blackest Night #1 - A definite purchase for me, the build up in the two GL titles may have been a little long though.

Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps #1 - I'll take a look at this to see if I need to pick this up with BL.

Captain America #601 - Why didn't this come out before the mini started again?

Star Trek: Crew #5 - That is if Austin Books gets their IDW books this week.

Walking Dead #63 - I really like this book.

Quote:
Originally intended as an annual in 2007, “Captain America” #601 is a 36-page story framed by the Winter Soldier and Nick Fury discussing the then-current “Civil War” events, which causes the Winter Soldier to tell a story from World War II featuring him and Captain America fighting vampires in a small village. Why it’s coming out so late could have to do with legendary artist Gene Colan’s age and speed, or maybe the time for its release passed and Marvel waited until an appropriate time and now is a good one. With “Captain America” going on hiatus while “Reborn” happens, a story featuring Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes as partners in WW2 is fitting.


Odd.
#602 won't come out until Reborn is done.

BLACKEST NIGHT is the only one for sure I'm getting.

Might thumb through a couple of others.

2 weeks ago I spent a buttload of money getting a bunch of trades and comix, so I may content myself with just BN this week though.

The only definite buys are Wednesday Comics, Captain America, and Amazing Spider-Man. Maybes are Dark Avengers, Mighty Avengers, Blackest Night, RASL (if I can get all the issues after the first collection), and Punisher.

Ended up not getting Captain America 601 nor the Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps. The series just spotlights each of the color groups.

Blackest Night did not win me over. I'll give it another issue or two, but I don't have high hopes based on this.

I really want to get Incognito, but my comic shop doesn't have issues 2 or 3. I'll get the trade as soon as it comes out, though.

Also, looking online it seems there's only been one issue of RASL after the trade (issue 4) so I'll pick that and issue 5 up when I go to the store next week.

I finally dropped RASL. Not coming out frequently enough to remember what happened. And not really good enough to make the effort.

Smith's apparently reduced the page count and gone with a traditional format in order to get the book out faster and make it more appealing to retailers. The original schedule was every four months, now it's every three or so (starting with issue #5). I picked up the oversized trade of issues 1-3 last week and really loved it.

Jeff Smith's new ongoing black and white series. It's aimed at adults, not kids.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/1888963204/?tag=imwan-20

Quote:
From Publishers Weekly
The debut volume of Bone creator Smiths new series is distinctly not for kids, but its gripping images and swift pacing are as impressive as anything hes done. In its first two chapters we meet Rasl, an art thief whos mixed up in some very weird circumstances: to make his getaways, he passes (painfully) through a sort of other-dimensional warp called the Drift, and sometimes he doesnt end up on the right version of Earth. Hes also got a mysterious gunman following him, a mysterious tattoo on his arm and a prostitute girlfriend with a mysterious necklace that displays a symbol of emergence. More even than Bone, Rasl is built around a few indelible images, like the agonized appearance of Rasl emerging from the Drift and the sinister grin of the strange-faced man whos following him; its a pretty minimal story so far (the book was reviewed from an incomplete galley), and Smith clearly knows more about the world hes building than he lets on. Still, his scrubby, rough-edged brushwork (showcased nicely by the books oversized format) gets across the storys foreboding, quiet moments as well as its chaotic chase scenes, and his knack for character design is always a treat.
