Welcome To Another Comic Book Wednesday

Good Evening and wel­come to another ” Comic Book Wednes­day ” here on Fanboy@50!

This week was actu­ally a large week as far as releases were con­cerned and I actu­ally had to put a few titles back on the shelf because of the expense involved.

Okay, this week I’ll not only fea­ture what I brought home, but what I wound up putting back…

Okay, I’ll start with the sin­gle issues first…

Wild­storm

Fringe issue#6 of 6– The final issue of this lim­ited run series.

Not sure just how pop­u­lar this series has been, but I would be sur­prised if this were to become a reg­u­lar ongo­ing series.

Ver­tigo

Madame Xanadu issue#12. Con­tin­u­ing the new 5 part story arc ” Exo­dus Noir “, brought to us by writer Matt Wag­ner, and artist Michael Wm. Kaluta.

The last time I remem­ber see­ing Kaluta’s art was dur­ing his stint on ” The Shadow “.

This is one of those titles that just seems to get bet­ter as it con­tin­ues, which at least for me seems to be very rare in  the comics arena now a days.

Okay, now for the other stuff…

Mar­vel

Thor issue#602…hmmmm..lets see…Thor, Don­ald Blake, Stephen Strange ( Doc­tor Strange to the rest of you! ) Heim­dal, Approach­ing Death, and one more Asgar­dian res­cued from the void…I’ll let you take a guess as to which one she may be…

Avengers/Invaders issue #12 of 12..okay, the con­clu­sion of what could have been a major event in the Mar­vel Uni­verse, but at least for me it just wasn’t. I should also point out that I have not given credit where it is due, as this entire series was a Marvel/Dynamite comics cross com­pany project…and I’m not quite sure why, as all of these char­ac­ters are ( as far as I know ) are owned by Marvel…but go fig­ure right.

DC

Green Lantern issue#42. The buildup to ” Black­est Night ” con­tin­ues with this issue as the tale of ” Agent Orange ” con­tin­ues, and just in case your won­der­ing, in the next issue…” Tale of the Black Lantern ”

Detec­tive Comics issue#854. Begins a new era here with ” Bat­woman ” becom­ing the new Bat to roost here in this title, with a backup story of the new Question.

Now, just what did I put back…

The new issue of Super­man from DC of course, and what looks to be a sleeper series that will have sev­eral crossovers also…Utopia, a new Mar­vel release.

Utopia was released with a few dif­fer­ent alter­nate cov­ers, and I know that there will be more than enough issues to be able to pick this up next week along with what is going to a hell of an event…Captain Amer­ica Reborn…as I always say..in Comics…dead isn’t always dead!
