Hey what's goin on party people?! Once again I, LB JONES, will be telling you guys whats the hotness and whats super garbage in comics. Just a quick note, I missed last week due to half of the shopping plaza losing power because of the thunderstorms and my not wanting to risk frying the computer in case of a power surge. So let's not wait around and get into it.
Starting this week we have THE ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN! This now monthly series is brought to you by Robert Kirkman, the man responsible for Invincible,Brit,Walking Dead,Capes and Battle Pope. With this month's issue Kirkman makes the book a monthly title instead of a bi-monthly. So now we're gunna be getting some super hero/horror action every month, WOOT! This is really one of my favorite books and if your not reading it, You are a dummy and should get trade number 1 when it finally hits the shelves in a month. So this whole issue starts the reveal of who Zacharia is and why he was/is so eager to help the Astounding one. Plenty of blood and werewolf action beautifully drawn by Jason Howard. If I was you guys, Buy issue #8 when it drops next month and than get trade one and enjoy it's awesome.
Next we have BATMAN! YAY BATMAN WOOOOOOOOT! Not so much actually. Grant Morrison has gone crazy and has become a terrible writer for some reason. This month's issue of BATMAN jumps around way too much, is hard to follow and doesn't connect with what's going on in Robin or Nightwing. Both of whom show up and get their asses handed to them. The only good thing about this story is Tony Daniel's artwork. It's really top notch stuff, too bad he has terrible story telling skills. That's all about that. So yeah, JUDD WINICK PLEASE COME BACK TO BATMAN, YOU WERE AWESOME!!!
Sneaking it's way in from the invasion is SECRET INVASION: FRONT LINE. This series has just always been really good for it's skill at showing what it really is like during the big Marvel events. This one is more of like a disaster film type setting than the others seeing as it's an all out war type story it's pulling from. Brian Reed captures amazingly what it's like to be trapped in a battle ground. The focus of this Front Line is on 3 separate people. It's really just an awesome book and if your reading Secret Invasion, you should be reading this. Now come and get it!
So I totally loved the first issue of the new ETERNALS ongoing and I finally got to finish reading the Neil Gaiman ETERNALS series that came out a year ago and god was it good. I totally didn't like John Romita Jr's pencils but Gaiman's story was absolutely amazing I could deal with bad art. Everyone should read this book and will love it because it's so amazing and it brings the ETERNALS back so perfectly I couldn't stop reading it when I started. Now come get this and the first issue of the new series if you haven't gotten it and enjoy the AWESOME!!

I love that LB's hatred and criticism's know no bounds! It's not only highly entertaining but it makes me feel even better that you like my stuff! hahahaaha
...I will hand it to you though, the last issue of Whedon & Cassaday's run on Astonishing wasn't the best.
