THIS WEEK IN COMICS!! WEEK 26

Hello there everybody, It's LB here for the 26Th time. Sorry I'm a little late. So let's not wait and delay anymore.

We all know I'm not a huge Superman fan but I recently finished the "Superman and The Legion Of Superheroes" by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank. I really have to say for a character I dislike, they made me like him. For most of the book Supes is without his powers because in the future Earth's sun has become red. It's pretty much "A Dude in Blue Tights and The Legion". But anyways, the whole reason Superman is in the future is because a bunch of Legion rejects have somehow risen up and declare that Superman was human not an alien. With Superman being declared human not an alien, the Legion rejects are attacking all non-humans on Earth. This story is definitely work reading and this is coming from someone who dislikes Superman.

Next we have issue #14 of Dynamo 5. I've probably already spoken about how awesome this book is and how everyone should read it. Well I'm saying it again because with issue #14, we have a really good jump on point for anyone looking to read monthly and not wait for the trades. This issue picks up from issue #13 with Dynamo 5 having broken up and Tower City under siege from super villains. Again Jay Faerber does an amazing job at writing intrigue and at keeping you involved. So go out. Get the first 2 trades and this issue. GO NOW!

After some awesome reading you should continue that with Essential Werewolf By Night vol.1. Coming straight out of the 70's, we have one of the greatest horror comics ever. Werewolf By Night is all about Jack Russell who comes to find out that he's really a werewolf and so was his real father. The art is amazing Mike Ploog does an awesome job at art and Gerry Conway writes an awesome story. Granted it's very 70's from the dialog and from how everyone is dressed, that just makes it more awesome because that means some disco kid is getting mauled by a werewolf. Now stop slacking and go get it. There's a reason they're called ESSENTIALS.

Lastly we have Amazing Spider-Man. God it's awful. Since they took Straczynski off of ASM, it's been on a spiral downwards of terrible. I mean it's out 3 times a month and all the stories are sub-par, villains show up for no clear reason and Spidey makes the lamest of jokes. Recently Daredevil showed up and made the comment of "I wish the isotope had made me deaf not blind" in regards to a joke from Spider-Man. Totally lame! The art has been good in ASM but the writing is awful and I just wish that they would choose a direction for the book already.

So that's it for this week. See everyone at the store.
