THIS WEEK IN COMICS!! Week 6


Hey there everyone, it's LB here again. Some pretty amazing stuff happened in the world of comics this week. Black Adam tried a new drink, A man got his hands caught in the Zipper, Some rodents learned kung fu, and Cap got a new costume!!
The last issue of Black Adam: Dark Age came out on Wednesday and all I have to say about it is CHOCOLATE EGG CREAM!! haha Thats it go read it NOW!
Also this week we got the third issue of Zipper. It was pretty decent. The story is pretty sound. Pretty much it's this alien(Zipper) is trying to get away from his ultra repressive world and he's now hunted by those from his world. Issue three opens with the Zipper having cut someone's hand's off. It's pretty quick read and I really enjoyed it. So go check it out
Reaching back to the 80's we have the return of ADOLESCENT RADIOACTIVE BLACK BELT HAMSTERS!! I thought that this was goin to be ultra goofy and overly played out with horrible jokes but in the end I was surprised. It was actually pretty clever with the character bases and their attitudes towards their masters. If your up for some pretty characterized hamsters kicking ass and taking names, go get this book.
And lastly we have CAPTAIN AMERICA. What is there that cannot be said about this book. So we're 34 issues in and it's still fresh. We see the arrival of the NEW and I stress NEW because STEVE ROGERS IS DEAD, GET OVER IT! So as I was saying, we see the NEW Cap's first appearance. Now I for one thought the new suit would look dumb but with Steve Epting doing the art detail the new costume looks really really good and the reason for a new costume will make all die hard Cap fans go "wow look at marvel having respect for Steve Rogers" So if you haven't been reading Cap, please do yourself a favor come down to the store and read the first trade or buy it and than read it. Thats what the lounge is for.
That wraps it up for this week's installment of THIS WEEK IN COMICS!! See everyone at the store on Wednesday and back here next Friday.
