It’s that time again. New comics were out yesterday and people have been reviewing and previewing like crazy. But, if you’re still unsure about some of the titles, or just can’t be assed reading all of those long, drawn out reviews, here is everything you need to know in 140 characters or under.
Enjoy.
Buffy Season 9 #12 Guarded Part 2
Miss the Scoobies. A joy to see Wolfram & Hart back. Demon dimension Social Media. Shocker end. Kennedy not as annoying in print as TV. Buy – Becca Nark (@glitterboo)
Archer and Armstrong #1
Awesome reboot of a favorite series. Get It Now! Just wish I could have found this one in print #comixology – Mark Driscoll (@tusk1113)
Spider-Men #4
Very little story, whole lot of character work. Very nearly made me cry. Quite possibly the best book of the week. – Mark Driscoll (@tusk1113)
The closest I’ve ever come to crying at a comic. @BrianMBendis & @sara_pichelli tell an immaculate and emotionally powerful story, as always. – Jack Chambers (@jlwchambers)
Daredevil Annual #1
Alan Davis’ story seems out of place in Waid’s new Daredevil continuity. Not bad, just…odd. – Mark Driscoll (@tusk1113)
Batman #12
@Ssnyder1835 is great as always. @beckycloonan’s artwork is perfect for Harper’s story but the artist swap at the end is jarring & unneeded. – Jack Chambers (@jlwchambers)
Batman & Robin #12
My least favorite issue so far. It’s at a non-stop break neck speed and can be difficult to follow which results in a quite the kerfuffle. – Jack Chambers (@jlwchambers)
American Vampire: Lord of Nightmares #3
@Ssnyder1835 brings his A game around again. Sets up for an amazing follow up issue. Definitely a great read! – Sean Perreault (@seanperreault)
@SSnyder1835 and Dustin Nguyen continue to amaze in this book. The way they just slyly introduce a host of new #vamps is amazing. And finally, a red head! – Jason Padua (@japadua)
Batgirl #12
@GailSimone writes a good story and the artwork is still good but a few threads left loose that could have been tied up. - Sean Perreault (@seanperreault)
Incredible Hulk #12
@JasonAaron finally gets to combine #Wolverine & the #Hulk and it is awesome! The art is amazing, great book! – Jason Padua (@japadua)
Before Watchmen: Ozymandias #2
Stunning artwork wrapped around a story that I just found mostly uninteresting. My least favorite of the Before Watchmen books – Bryan Brown (@bryanthenerd)
Gambit #1
How in the name of crap did I not know that one of the best X-Men was getting his own on-going? #GambitRules - Jason Martin (@thejizzo)
About Jay Martin
Jay has been nerdy now for a little under 30 years, so it was only natural for him to aide others in their neediness through his writing. A big fan of comics, movies, TV, music, toys and anything else his pay check will stretch too, this Star Wars addict has an impressive collection of lightsabers and is currently working his way through the extended universe novels in order. If you like your reviews with a healthy dose of sarcasm he is the man for you.
