I love Wednesday

Anyone who reads comics should know why Wednesday is the greatest day of the whole week. New comic day bitches! Nothing is more satisfying than slapping down my hard earned bucks for some kick ass sequential art storytelling. This week saw some good solid story telling on a number of titles. Let's begin:

Magic Teeth Dailies 11

Gareth is just fucking brilliant. His page a day comic book always delights and amuses. Anyone living in Victoria should be reading this, not only to support local talent but also because it's funny as hell and has some very smart writing.

Y: The Last Man 46

How can you not be reading this title? If you are not then for shame I say. For shame. This was the end of the Kimodo Dragons arc and the storytelling and artwork were, as always, spectacular. My only problem with this series is that it's only on for 60 issues. I can't wait to see how they wrap it all up in 14 more issues though.

Superman Returns Prequel 1

Eh. I was actually expecting more than a retelling of the destruction of Krypton. Nice art though, but not that interesting of a read.

Outsiders 37

I really like where they have taken this book in the One Year Later world. Seeing Dick put Supes in his place while "bluffing" him with a lead box that may or may not contain Kryptonite was fucking awesome. He needs to be written as though he is the next Batman and this issue is a perfect example of that.

Civil War: Frontline 1

I am seriously loving Civil War. This is what comics should be, realistic tales of people whether they be super-powered of not. I am enjoying all of the crossovers and hope that this will actually "change the Marvel Universe forever". So many series promise that and very few actually end up doing so.

So that's the best of this last week. Next week I'm seriously looking forward to Civil War 2. This is supposed to be a big one people! Something major takes place in the last few pages. Everyone who reads comics should be reading this issue. 'Til next time...
