Thor #7 (Marvel) - J. Michael Straczynski has not yet really wowed me. His run on Amazing Spider-man lacked direction and ended (probably by editorial mandate) with the erasing of about half of Spider-man’s continuity. The Twelve was a dozen new faces I didn’t care about. His run on Thor so far has been similarly lack-luster, with the exception of some funny moments (like the Asgardian gods attending a local government meeting). However, the momentum has been building in the series. I’m hoping the series does get better soon though, because I’m giving it one more issue until I’m out.
Angel: After The Fall #5 (IDW) - Time for big fights between all the demonic lords of LA!
Foolkiller #4 (Marvel) - A great series, delayed for some reason, but back finally and nearing its conclusion. This will be the first comic I read tomorrow.
Fables #71 (DC/Vertigo) - The war between the Fables and the Adversary is about to begin, but first an interlude with black-ops agent Cinderella.
Punisher War Journal Vol. 2: Goin’ Out West TPB (Marvel) - I was not a fan of Matt Faction’s The Order. But Punisher War Journal is great. Unlike Garth Ennis’ MAX Punisher series, this series strives to bring Frank Castle back into the Marvel Universe, where he fights super villains and almost becomes the new Captain America. Well executed violence, great dialog, and fun stories in this book.
