THIS WEEK IN COMICS!! WEEK 5

So how's everybody doing in comic book land this week? L.B. here with this weeks update to THIS WEEK IN COMICS! A lot went down this week, The jedi lost one of their order, Iron Man went ultimate for a second time, Detectives see the dead....and buy them a beer, and finally a boy throws out garbage..all the way to Russia.
So it's not new but It's new to me because I finally read it. Star Wars:Knights of the Old Republic. If your not reading this because your so set in the original trilogy, go jump off a bridge and hope Obi-Wan saves you. KOTOR is an amazing title. Set almost 3000 years before the Battle Over Yavin, we meet a young padawan by the name of Zayne. Now Zayne is the most inept jedi to ever live. So for some reason his masters set him up as the fall guy for the deaths of his entire class. Now the whole book is about how Zayne goes on the run from the jedi masters and winds up bring to truth a prophecy. Seriously get over the hating of expanded universe and start reading KOTOR!
Coming from Marvel this week we have ish #2 of Ultimate Iron Man. Yet again Orson Scott Card sets up the pins and knocks them down. We see the continuing struggle of Tony Stark to take over Stark Enterprises while his dad sits in jail. Obadiah Stane returns again to be a torn in everyone's side and to cause Tony some problems. Now go read this or Stark is gunna come get you while you sleep.
Next we have Criminal Macabre. This is the original title coming from Steve Niles(Creator of 30 Days of Night). What's different about this Criminal Macabre than the other ones is that this is all the original prose novels were you read origin of Cal McDonald. If you've never read Criminal Macabre than you've never read about how Cal is a drug riddled, booze hound who happens to live in a world were monsters are real but they hide within humanity and his best friend is a ghoul. Now having said that, COME GET THIS BOOK. ON MY RECOMMENDATION, IF YOU BUY IT ON SATURDAY WHILE I'M WORKING YOU GET THE WEDNESDAY 10% DEAL. THIS IS ONLY VALID FOR THIS SATURDAY WHILE IM WORKING. 1/26/08
And finally we have Invincible, which honestly is the best superhero comic. It shows how a hero has to deal with life and being a superhuman. The main character is Mark Grayson, whose father is a superhero from another planet. Now when Mark turns 16 he finally develops his powers by throwing out the garbage at his crappy job but the garbage flys over the dumpster and all the way to the home of a russian bum. That alone makes this book amazing. So come on down and check it out. It's for people who don't like superhero comics cause they're too childish.
So that does it for this installment. See everyone on Wednesday and be back here Next Friday.
