Joker's Asylum: The Penguin - one shot by Jason Aaron. A character study. Good stuff.
Back to Brooklyn - Ennis, Palmiotti - mob story. good read if you like mob stuff.
Debris - Kurtis Weibe and Riley Rossmo. I buy everything Rossmo works on, but this really tests that. Not good. I don't really like Weibe as a writer.

Finally sat down and read "The Massive" #1-3. I dig the art and the concept is interesting, but still too early to tell what exactly is going on with this book. I am keeping it on my pullbox for now.

I just finished reading the material out of the Grendel Omnibus vol. 1: Hunter Rose TPB that I never read before.

Up next is The Transformers: Autocracy GN and Dragon Age vol. 1: The Silent Grove GN and some of the material in The Transformers: Classics UK vols. 1-3.

I've read some real good stuff lately.

TWD #90-101. WOW. Disturbing and magnetic. The 2 most disturbing and shocking things I've ever read in comics happened in TWD.

I also just read Fairest #1-3 by Willingham. Not as good as Fables, but pretty good.

I am now starting the complete run of Unknown Solider by Dysart.

Reading Unknown Solider by Dysart, just finished #4.

Not what I expected, (not sure what I expected) but it has a Walking Dead quality to it. It draws you in and makes you think...... what would I do?

There are some totally surprising twists.

I was drawn to Revival #1 this week and picked it up on a whim. It seems promising to me - I like the setting and the horror elements.

Just read Revival #1 and thought it was a great first issue. It really came off strong and left me wanting more.

I like the whole revival idea with the mix in of religion.

I will be reading issue 2 tonight
Pull List: I only buy TPB's, HC's and Hellboy comics

Just started reading the Walt Simonson Thor Omnibus. Even though I have the originals bound, I wanted this because of the recoloring they did on it and I'm not disappointed. It's very cool :clap:

I don't think I've read a story from him that I didn't enjoy. He's the only comic book creator that I can say that about.

I finished The Transformers: Autocracy TPB yesterday and right now I'm not sure what to think about it. :?

Invincible #94 - I didn't see that coming. Excellent issue.
Scalped #60 - The final issue of a fantastic series.
Rorscharch #1 - I liked it. There is alot of complaining about these Before Watchmen books, but I've liked everything I've read thus far.
Loki #1 (from a few years ago) - I love a good Loki story. I don't think I've ever read a bad Loki story. He may be my favorite villain in the Marvel U even though Thor is not a biggy for me.

I loved these books, although the second series isn't quite as good as the first

Likewise. Lots of fun, decent depth and some nifty art, to top it all off. Who knew Gerard Way really was a half-respectable writer?

This weekend I read...

John Byrne's 2112 (Prelude to Next Men) and John Byrne's Next Men 0-30: This was some really good stuff...made me remember why I was such a huge John Byrne fan back in the 90's. I am curious to see how the IDW series take off from this one. In the letter's page of issue 30 JB said that his plan was take takeJBNM in a completely different direction (and was even considering changing the title) so I don't expect it to be more of the same.

Saga 1-6: Very good story, love the art. I added this comic to my pull list (an picked up 1-2 as back issues) after seeing it recommended here.

Oo!! I still haven't read 2112... But I love the whole Next Men series. The IDW books are good, though I felt it ended a bit soft... Well worth reading, I was very happy he revisited the title.

I'm enjoying this storyline too. Got my letter printed, first one in the column this time!! (it's my third letter published in Invincible!). All I can say is... VerBOOM!! :lol:

Also got;
Planetoid #3 - really liked this issue, great change of pace from the 1st two.
Iron Man 523 - this one's building up to an exciting finish, I think...

I also completed my 'floppy' set of the Grant Morrison Animal Man run this past weekend... Been working on that for a couple of years, now I can finally look forward to sitting down to read it.
