Silk #1 - Kinda like a poor man's Patsy Walker instead she's working as a journalist.

What I read today 04-20:

BACK TO THE FUTURE #7 (IDW)
ASTONISHING ANT-MAN #6 - Nick Spenser does an interesting job of mixing serious stuff with light comedy. Fun book.
SPIDER-MAN/DEADPOOL #4 - The best part was when Spidey and Pool went on a double date, and wound up being forced to dance in a club on stage in their underwear. You just don't see enough of that type of thing in superhero comics. PS: Deadpool was wearing his Spider-Man underpants.
HOWARD THE DUCK #6 - Case closed! Boy, does Howard love to say that, even when it really isn't. He just wants it to be true so bad. Did I mention he has a talking cyborg cat named Biggs? Well, he calls him a "robocat" but he's pretty much a cyborg.
ASTRO CITY #34 (DC/Vertigo) - I'll keep going on this as long as Kurt Busiek wants to write the thing.
TITANS HUNT #7 (of 8 ) - Oh well, might as well see how it ends now, I guess.
HYPERION #2  - this will be my last
HUCK #6 (of 6) (Image)
DONALD DUCK #379 (IDW) - Wow, I just realized all these Disney titles have 36 pages of story for $4!
GUTTER MAGIC #4 (of 4) (IDW)
CAPTAIN AMERICA SAM WILSON #8- Getting close to dropping this, I think.
TOTALLY AWESOME HULK #5 - Getting close to dropping this, I think.
INVINCIBLE #127 (Image) - still kinda lost
SNOWFALL #3 (Image) - I think this will be my last
BLACK-EYED KIDS #1 (Aftershock)
HEARTTHROB #1 (Oni Press)
JONESY #3 (of 4) (Oni Press)

I gotta start dropping some stuff.

How did you like Huck? I read the 1st two issues and it was basically a superhero story starring an everyman.


What did you think of Heartthrob?

Browsing the Eisner nominees looking for more recs...


Lady Killer #1

At www.archiecomics.com there's a page all the covers but they didn't show the Blank Cover. I really want know how their new logo is going like.

Hopefully archiecomics.com sells them all in a set like they did with Archie #1.

I'm curious to see whether the "exciting" and/or "fun" lead stories in B&V FRIENDS JUMBO COMICS #250 and WORLD OF ARCHIE DOUBLE #61 are new stories, since they didn't specifically mention that, and I have a strange feeling of foreboding. Last month's solicitations contained one digest in which the lead story wasn't described as new, and this month's has two. 

Also, this makes two months in a row that the lead story in BETTY AND VERONICA DOUBLE didn't mention the lead story as an episode of "The Many Loves of Archie Andrews", so it looks like that series was aborted before completing its planned run of 10 episodes. 

I guess maybe they had to spend the money it would have cost for new stories in those two digests or the longer 10-page MLoAA episodes, on paying more artists to do variant covers for B&V. On the other hand, I suppose some people can now breathe a sigh of relief to see that "ALL NEW!" on the covers of the rebooted ARCHIE and JUGHEAD, and rest easy in the assurance that they won't contain any of those annoying time-wasting classic reprints in the back.

Boo. I liked the Many Loves of Archie series and even bought 2 copies of most of them. Guess the storyline wasn't helping sales enough.


Glad they are aborting the 40's reprints in the all new Archie and Jughead. Hopefully the main stories are longer now.

Bruce Lee The Dragon Rises #1

I have this, but haven't gotten around to reading it yet. Any good?

I like it. I had no idea what the story was before I read it. Lots of fighting scenes which is to be expected.

Bruce Lee The Dragon Rises #1

My Mad Fat Diary

These 90s and early 00s celebrity and fad stories sound awesome. Do you remember where they were from? Archie and Friends?

I love the one with them on the bikes. It's the best out of the 4 that just came out.

They look pretty on the bike one. The art reminds me of the Barbie animation.

WOW. A lot of comics come out every week. It's a wonder any series can survive. Those Replica editions are really expensive as well.


I'll be getting:
Princeless Raven #7
Jonesy #3 (Excited about this one. Great series)
Lumberjanes #25
WOA DD #58
Bee and Puppycat #11
Grumpy Cat & Pokey #3
Jem and the Holograms #14
Disney Princess #2
LDK Vol 4
Haunted Mansion #1
Puss in Boots #1

Jonesy is pretty good. I thought Haunted Mansion #1 was a big disappointment, but maybe you'll like it better than I did. What are those Replica editions you're referring to?

CANTON STREET PRESS[/size]Moon Girl #2 (Replica Edition), $17.99

There was already a sense of foreboding because even then the company was trimming the fat. Books like Archie's Christmas Stocking, Archie's Spring Break Special and Betty & Veronica Spectacular were getting peeled away and we were getting worried. Brother, we had NO idea back then!

These are some of my favs. I wish they'd bring these back.

I really like the main cover of Archie #10 with the fire. The beach party one seems inspired by their Cake Wars episode. Interesting how the records, cell phone, and iPad are side by side. I like the Jughead dreaming of pizza cover too. I'm gonna start reading this again with Derek Charm as the artist.

I love the Tula Lotay one, except Veronica has brown hair!  Who approved that?

Looks like Betty has brown hair. She looks a bit like Khloe Kardashian here with the lips.
