Title: Weekly Reader, July 18, 2022 Post by: Perry on July 18, 2022, 11:19:27 AM Very small week for me, only two Marvel and EDIT - TWO DC , so there is no reason I can't get this weeks new stuff done, especially when I read the new Marvel last night ;D
(The older stuff is more hit or miss with my time, more a place holder for me, reading when I want to more than I expect to get to them) DCI Legion '90 #15 Legion '90 #16 Legion of Super-Heroes (1989) #4 Legion of Super-Heroes (1989) #5 Nice House on the Lake #5 Nice House on the Lake #6 Robin and Batman #3 Joker #11 MU Eternals #11 X-Men ’92: House of XCII #1 Other Buzzkill (collects issues 1-4) B.P.R.D Vampires (collects issues 1-5) B.P.R.D Vampires (collects issues 1-5)- Yes, twice as I added it from two seperate accounts, wasting one of my "borrows" for the week >:( :D :D :D :D ************************************************* Eternals - I like this title as it adds humor to the mix, but this issue was a little to much of a good thing. Art was very reminiscent of Mark Texeira, but not as good and distracting at times, which didn't help. All that said, this issue is more set-up for the coming conflict. I believe this title will be ending with next months issue #12 as we head into A.X.E I don't see Eternals getting a book after that event. Which is fine. I enjoyed this one enough to last me ;D X-Men 92 - Wow this had me confused at first. Those first couple of panels had my mind stuttering ;D I had no idea what this issue was going to be about, other than it was an homage story for the 90's cartoon era X-Men, but didn't expect this. Yeah, I expected a story similar to what we've been getting with other 90's "look back" titles like Silver Surfer and the X-Men Legends stuff, but more 90's cartoon focused. The last thing I expected was ;D Title: Re: Weekly Reader, July 18, 2022 Post by: Jeff on July 18, 2022, 12:50:00 PM Lighter week for me too.
Marvel Unlimited X-Men #10 Eternals #11 Elektra #100 DC Universe Infinite Robin & Batman #3 The Joker #11 Hoopla Basilisk #9 Buzzkill (collects issues 1-4) Promethia Book One Substack 3 Worlds / 3 Moons - by Johnathon Hickman Sisterhood Birth Arena ------------------------------------------------------ Title: Re: Weekly Reader, July 18, 2022 Post by: Perry on July 18, 2022, 01:05:52 PM DC Universe Infinite Robin & Batman #3 The Joker #11 Crap, I must've been on the wrong week. I totally overlooked those Title: Re: Weekly Reader, July 18, 2022 Post by: Perry on July 19, 2022, 08:51:20 AM Just a couple from last night/this morning
DCI Legion '90 #15 Legion '90 #16 Legion of Super-Heroes (1989) #4 Legion of Super-Heroes (1989) #5 Nice House on the Lake #5 Nice House on the Lake #6 Robin and Batman #3 Joker #11 MU Eternals #11 X-Men ’92: House of XCII #1 Other Buzzkill (collects issues 1-4) B.P.R.D Vampires (collects issues 1-5) B.P.R.D Plague of Frogs v1 (collects Hollow Earth 1-3, various shorts and one-shots and Plague of Frogs 1-5) - ADDED ************************************************* Joker - Ahh, the return of where we were. A return to the main story. Kinda glossed over where we left off (yeah?), but still, at least this is back on track again. Buzzkill - This one... honestly... was somewhat disappointing. Almost seemed like a one-shot's worth of story stretched to a four issue mini. Wasn't horrible, even though Geoff Shaw's art was overly sketchy (he does get better in later collaborations with Cates Wink) but I enjoyed Cates next one (the last one from my standpoint Grin), The Paybacks, much more.

Eternals #11 Elektra #100 DC Universe Infinite Robin & Batman #3 The Joker #11 Hoopla Basilisk #9 Buzzkill (collects issues 1-4) Promethia Book One Substack 3 Worlds / 3 Moons - by Johnathon Hickman Sisterhood Birth Arena ------------------------------------------------------ X-Men #10 - Another average book. But I do like the cliffhanger for next issue. It should be a little more interesting. Eternals #11 - At taking too long to get anywhere. I still like this book but we need trove along before I start getting bored. At least I know it’s heading towards the big crossover and I’m ready to be there. Elektra #100 - Main story wasn’t bad. Second story was kind of dumb. The cartoons were mediocre. Enjoyed the main story but I wouldn’t have paid for this. Title: Re: Weekly Reader, July 18, 2022 Post by: Jeff on July 21, 2022, 03:11:31 AM Marvel Unlimited
Eternals #11 Elektra #100 DC Universe Infinite The Joker #11 Hoopla Buzzkill (collects issues 1-4) Promethia Book One Substack 3 Worlds / 3 Moons - by Johnathon Hickman Sisterhood Birth Arena ------------------------------------------------------ Robin & Batman #3 - Good mini. Thumbs up to Lemire and Nguyen for creating a fun chapter in Dick Grayson’s Robin beginnings. The Joker #11 - oh yeah! This is why I love this comic so much. Perry’s right. Getting back to the main story has ramped up the quality. Great issue with promise of more greatness to come. Basilisk #9 - Nice progression for this arc. So far still a good book. The layers are starting to peal. Title: Re: Weekly Reader, July 18, 2022 Post by: Jeff on July 21, 2022, 03:41:42 AM Marvel Unlimited
Eternals #11 Elektra #100 DC Universe Infinite The Joker #11 Hoopla Buzzkill (collects issues 1-4) Promethia Book One Substack Sisterhood Birth Arena ------------------------------------------------------ 3 Worlds / 3 Moons - by Johnathon Hickman Sisterhood - This one was weird. Had the look and feel of the Manhattan Project. Strange people in this world. Birth - This one was good. Goes to show what lengths a man will go to save his wife and unborn son. Arena - Brutal. Gladiator style battles with some horrifying rules. Title: Re: Weekly Reader, July 18, 2022 Post by: Gay Titan on July 21, 2022, 12:04:55 PM Batman Superman World's Finest #5
Black Adam #2 Nightwing #94 Title: Re: Weekly Reader, July 18, 2022 Post by: Perry on July 23, 2022, 08:16:43 PM Dang trades!! Killing all my time... yet I still keep adding them AND more comics? WTF?
:D :D I had wanted to read Duggan's Dark Room (premise sounds cool), but I had forgotten about it and today I just found out it came out a month ago. I went straight to Hoopla and they had it. SWEET!! DCI Legion '90 #15 Legion '90 #16 Legion of Super-Heroes (1989) #4 Legion of Super-Heroes (1989) #5 Nice House on the Lake #5 Nice House on the Lake #6 Robin and Batman #3 Joker #11 Batgirls #1 Batgirls #2 - Added Justice League vs. The Legion of Super-Heroes #1 MU Eternals #11 X-Men ’92: House of XCII #1 X-Men #10 - added Other Buzzkill (collects issues 1-4) B.P.R.D Vampires (collects issues 1-5) B.P.R.D Plague of Frogs v1 (collects Hollow Earth 1-3, various shorts and one-shots and Plague of Frogs 1-5) The Dark Room OGN - Added ************************************************* JLA/LoSH - I tried. I gave it a shot. But I just can't take the look or feel of Benids' Legion. Me no likey!! X-Men - >:( Jeff thought that this issue had an interesting ending so I tried it. This issue was good enough for me to add it back on my list. Jeff screwed me! Thanks, Jeff ;D BPRD Vampires - This was a fun, but highly typical, Hellboy universe story. I did enjoy the art by Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon, as I always do, and there are does fit this world pretty easily. This was a lot shorter than the current BPRD collection I am reading :D Hope to get through that one before it is set to return.

Eternals #11 Elektra #100 DC Universe Infinite The Joker #11 Hoopla Promethia Book One Substack Sisterhood Birth Arena ------------------------------------------------------ Buzzkill (collects issues 1-4) - Not bad but not a must read. I liked the premise. On the back cover Mark Millar said he wished he would have thought of it. I can see that because it is totally something I can see Millar coming up with. The first two chapters are kind of repetitive but chapter three and four picks up and gives it a decent ending. Title: Re: Weekly Reader, July 18, 2022 Post by: Perry on July 25, 2022, 12:21:05 PM I'm only about halfway done with Plague of Frogs (darn thing is over 400 pages), so that will be yet another title I carry over from week to week. ;D Hell I may have to re-borrow the damn thing as it is taking so long.

Yeah, I couldn't deal with this pre-teen/young adult style. Kinda sucks as I was really in the mood for it. Maybe I will try Catwoman again. I guess I need some female Bat-Family stuff 4 outta 10 "I'm too old for this shit"s Robin and Batman - Well, okay, this was a fine mini, but the last issue was somewhat of a let down. Not bad, but even though there was action to be had, it... I don't know, I think I enjoyed the first two issues more. Certainly not the first comic that I have left with that feeling, and it certainly will not be the last. Still, the first two issues were big winners. 8 outta 10 lyrics to Crocodile Rock Title: Re: Weekly Reader, July 18, 2022 Post by: Jeff on July 25, 2022, 01:31:28 PM Buzzkill (collects issues 1-4) - Not bad but not a must read.
