Here’s an odd ComicShocker – I’m going to be talking about something old and something that hasn’t even come out yet. As for something that came out this past Wednesday, I’ll give the top prize to Last Defenders #2. The book was excellent. Here’s an interesting piece by co-writer Joe Casey on how the issue was put together (the creation process is rather unique).
As for the “something old,” I’m referring to Green Arrow / Black Canary #1 and #2. Yeah, yeah. I know this stuff came out a while back. IN fact, I think #7 just came out this past Wednesday. But thank Jeebus for the quarter bin (which, by the way, was sorely lacking an online definition so I took it upon myself to make a quarter bin page on Wikipedia). I picked up the first two issues of this series for $0.50 last Wednesday. I just finished them earlier today and the negative buzz I’ve heard about this series doesn’t seem to be true in my opinion. The issues had their highs and lows, but I have to say that I was genuinely surprised by the twists and turns the story took in only the first 44 pages of the series.
As for the “something that hasn’t even come out yet,” I’m referring to Avengers: The Initiative #11. It’s coming out this Wednesday (April 16, 2008) and it’s positively terrific. Much better than all the other issues of this Killed in Action story arc. Here’s my A:TI #11 review if you want to read more.
And that’s it! Catch you next week, super fans.
