This was a Marvel heavy week for me - mainly due to Deadpool. That’s not to say there wan’t more out from other publishers that deserves to be looked at, of course.

Deadpool Classic Vol. 1 TPB

Deadpool Classic Vol. 1 TPB (Marvel) - This is a chronological reprinting of all of Deadpool’s major first appearances, hopefully leading into more volumes.

Deadpool vs. The Marvel Universe TPB (Marvel) - The end of Cable & Deadpool. This is where Deadpool teamed up with Wolverine, the Fantastic Four, Doctor Strange, the Mighty Avengers and fights Venom-ized dinosaurs! This also addresses story points from the first Deadpool series, which hopefully we’ll see in trade form down the line.

Batman #675 (DC) - After seeing Grant Morrison speak at New York Comic Con this weekend, I’ve found an author to devote my time and cash to. His take on Batman will be fun to see.

Mighty Avengers #12 (Marvel) - Secret Invasion continues and begins to build steam. And guess who’s back just in time… Nick Fury! Or is he?

Daredevil: Hell to Pay Vol. 2 TPB (Marvel) - Ed Brubaker continues his run on Daredevil with a villain many fans didn’t like - Mr. Fear - due to his obscure nature. I personally love that this criminal came out of left field, because if a comic universe is going to pretend to operate like our world, people hold grudges and they still exist even if they aren’t in the story. Also, this book guest-stars Brian K. Vaughan’s The Hood.

Matt Knicl: My name is Matt Knicl. I'm a U of I alumn and one of those unemployed English majors Garrison Keillor likes to make fun of. I've been reading comics since high school and one day I would like to write them. My goal is to expose readers to what is out there in the world of comics and using my English powers, show what is worth reading or not. I can be reached at buzz.comics@gmail.com.
