I'm hearing some good things about Paul Dano's writing on Riddler: Year One, like the he knows the character (or at least HIS version) and that, apparently, this isn't like a lot of those- "Oh hey, you're a Hollywood person? Well come on in and write a bunch of crap that people will buy because of your name" things either. May just give it a go this week as it is relatively small list for me, but may wait for issue 5 to drop in a couple months so I only have to wait one more month for the finale. We'll see.

I'll wait to see if I need this. Anyone?) Other~ Magic Order v3Magic Order #1 Magic Order #2 Magic Order #3 Magic Order #4 Magic Order #5 Magic Order #6 Slaughter House-Five OGN *********************************** Human Target - So don't read this until you have read the issue!!!! But it Combat Kelly - Finished this this morning and it was a fun little romp down 1960's comics Always nice to start the day seeing Nazi die!!!

X-Men Annual 1 - I like the focus on Firestar unfortunately this was a throwaway story and not that engaging. Jokes were all cringey. Don’t feel bad if you miss this.
Dark Web: Mary Jane & Black Cat 1 - This will be an important tie-in. Plus McKay writes Black Cat & MJ. So yeah, it’s fun.
Dark Web: Ms. Marvel 1 - Read this only if your already reading the Ms Marvel book. Nothing of interest otherwise.

See above for my thoughts. But where did you read Hickman wrote it? His name isn’t anywhere on the book.

See above for my thoughts. But where did you read Hickman wrote it? His name isn’t anywhere on the book. As soon as you click on the cover, scroll down to details and it tells you when it was published as well as Interior and Cover information. Under "Interior" is says - JONATHAN HICKMAN writer STEVE FOXE writer ANDREA DI VITTO penciler, inker JORDAN WHITE Editor They lied about Hickman!!! Also, I think I said in one of our conversations that the art was done by Valerio Schiti, as you can see, it was not Unless they lied about that as well!!! Onto my reading... which is turning into another piss-poor Marvel week for me. But thanks to Jeff, I was luckily saved from one read that may have increased my ire DCUltraJustice Society of America #3 Human Target #12 (RE-READ) ~ Teen Titans by Geoff Johns Book ThreeTeen Titans #29 Teen Titans #30 Teen Titans #31 MUCombat Kelly and the Deadly Dozen #1X-Men: Earths Mutant Heroes #1 Strange #9 Wolverine #28 X-Men Annual 1 Other~ Magic Order v3Magic Order #1 Magic Order #2 Magic Order #3 Magic Order #4 Magic Order #5 Magic Order #6 Slaughter House-Five OGN *********************************** X-Men Annual - Thanks for the save Jeff!!! Strange - I just don't care anymore. I'm done until the relaunch of Dr. Strange Wolverine - As much as I enjoy the style of Jose Ryp's art, I can no longer read this book solely for it's look. I am not a fan of Percy and... hell... I just don't enjoy Percy's writing. Not sure why, but it doesn't hit for me at all. I think as a plotter he has some very cool ideas, I like most everything plot-wise he has done, but I don't enjoy his method of getting me from point A to B.

Gold Glider 2 - Not really a Dark Web tie in. Just a continuation of the Norman Osborn comic. Good if your interested in what’s happening with him and his redemption but not for me.
Strange 9 - oh man. I have absolutely no interest in where this is going. I might finally be done with this book and that makes me sad.
Wolverine 28 - More Beast evilness. I didn’t care for this particular issue but it’s leading us somewhere.

Looks like Perry and I are on the same page with Strange. This should have been a much better book with McKay writing Clea.

Yeah I was hoping for so much more. The art is there, but... yeah... EDIT ---- DCUltraJustice Society of America #3 Human Target #12 (RE-READ) ~ Teen Titans by Geoff Johns Book ThreeTeen Titans #29 Teen Titans #30 Teen Titans #31 MUCombat Kelly and the Deadly Dozen #1X-Men: Earths Mutant Heroes #1 Strange #9 Wolverine #28 X-Men Annual 1 Other~ Magic Order v3Magic Order #1 Magic Order #2 Magic Order #3 Magic Order #4 Magic Order #5 Magic Order #6 Slaughter House-Five OGN *********************************** X-Men Earths Mutant Heroes - This is gonna take awhile. NOt really a book to read, but I will be dipping my toes in a little bit at a time to try and get me up-to-date (as of the books publication) with some Mutants I don't know JSA - Okay, first and foremost I love the duo-penciler aspect of this comic. I have loved many a title in the past for doing the same thing, but it looks so damn cool going from one great artist to another. A great way to show different time!! The story was fine, needed a tad more I think, but every issue can't be a homerun as the ones that are wouldn't feel special Absolutely love

Here we go!!
MARVEL UNLIMITED
Dark Web X-men; a quick read through, that turned into skimming as I just didn't care in the end. :eep!: Black Cat/Mary Jane 1 (Dark Web); I've been reading Spider-man ever since..whenever, and I totally don't remember MJ's powers! What? It was cute book. I'll read more Golden Goblin 2 Dark Web: I've been reading this for Norman's changes and ASM tie-in, so I continued on, and it's...fine.
Legion of X 8 : what in the bloody HELL is this book about? I've only missed 3 issues, but what is this about? LOL!
Deadpool 2: It's fine...but it feels like any mini series of Deadpool. I do hope for a developed supporting cast, or some kind ...of..you know, ongoing story...it'd be nicer!!
Planet Hulk Worldbreaker 2: Hey, a pick me up book! I'm curious, and usually get into 'the end' type of story, so I'm into this one!
Sabretooth and the Exiles 2: What HAPPENED to this books' publishing schedule? I forgot about this book entirely. An...interesting return to the story, but man, I'm not feeling this the way I was when it was the Sabretooth title that led to this. I don't remember any of the newly created mutants here
Spider-man Lost Hunt 2: This is really poor. dematteis returning to a 'lost years' time of Peter and MJ nets no impact in reading or analysis.
Avengers Forever 12: A decent, and basically fun little tie in to a very very large storyline. It s'okay.
Strange 9 : okay, as poor as this title became in the last 2-3 issues, but hey, the title only has one more issue! So I'll read it. Whatever.

DC ULTRAHuman Target 12: A lot of thinking about this title and it's ending. So very glad I've read this, and that I'm left considering everything about it. Batman v Robin 5: Aww, how sweet this turned out to be! Action Comcis 1052: I like reading this Superman! I'm gld for PKJohnson! Gimme more! And this Power Girl stuff is ...weird...and what I liked about this was some of the conversation bits of having Kara, and well, Kara! Talking to each other. What a weird bit that had to be for both of them! And I really dig young Jon by Jurgens and Weeks! Detective Comics 1069: This title is so weird. I dig it! But what next? What next?!! Blue Beetle Graduation Day 4: Just...looking through this so I know what's up next for Jamie and the scarab. That's all Titans United Bloodpact 1- Hey! I wasn't reading this yet! Now I'm back into it!

Really? Only one more issue? Oh well, I guess I’ll go ahead and finish it out then.

Really? Only one more issue? Oh well, I guess I’ll go ahead and finish it out then. Yes, and then it relaunches as Doctor again. That is what I'm waiting for!!! Let me know how that last issue is, I'm not reading it (even though I am a fan of The S.... that character we see at the end of #9) * Okay, "fan" may not be the correct word, but I do so like his... ummmm... heroic hindrance Legion of X 8 : what in the bloody HELL is this book about? I've only missed 3 issues, but what is this about? LOL! RIGHT?!?!?! Was an amazing feeling jumping in cold and trying to get what the hell I was reading Avengers Forever 12: A decent, and basically fun little tie in to a very very large storyline. It s'okay. One day (after my Legion read, maybe? Haha) I am going to try and read this and Avengers. Just the tie-in stuff, the last huge arc in Aaron's run. I am sure there will be something I can find I enjoy. Something I missed from his first 48 issues or so? Maybe? EDIT - Keep forgetting to list my reads when I reply to something Read some more of the Slaughter House-Five OGN, but that one is going to take awhile. Not that it is bad, but I get sidetracked from it every time I go to read it, or so it seems. Doesn't help I sidetrack myself with older comic series either. DCUltraJustice Society of America #3 Human Target #12 (RE-READ) ~Teen Titans by Geoff Johns Book Three Teen Titans #29 Teen Titans #30 Teen Titans #31Teen Titans #31 <-- ADDEDLegion of Super-Heroes #1 (1984 - Baxter Paper) Legion of Super-Heroes #2 ← ADDED, ↑ and ↓ Legion of Super-Heroes #3 Legion of Super-Heroes #4MUCombat Kelly and the Deadly Dozen #1X-Men: Earths Mutant Heroes #1 Strange #9 Wolverine #28 X-Men Annual 1 Other~ Magic Order v3Magic Order #1 Magic Order #2 Magic Order #3 Magic Order #4 Magic Order #5 Magic Order #6 Slaughter House-Five OGN *********************************** Teen Titans - Man, really enjoyed the first two volumes of these Geoff Johns omnis (or whatever they are), but this last one... it never grabbed me. Started off decent enough, but fell rapidly an those last three issues (plus the next non-collected issue). Sadly. Loved the Dr. Light stuff from earlier though. LoSH - So I am starting again. Yep, but this time I am really, truly in the mood to read some older Legion stuff. THIS is my next BPRD read. I will get through it. And I look forward to doing so. * Because one day, one fine day, Hickman will give us his (much desired) version of this massive ass team and I want to make sure I am up on most every facet. Well, every facet from the year 1984 and up at least

Justice Society of America 3 - Didn’t come out this week. It was an error on they’re release page.
Action Comics 1052 - Still digging the Metallo arc. Liked the Jon arc even better. Still can’t stand the Powergirl story.
Batman vs. Robin 5 - can’t believe I made it through this whole thing. Pretty lame ending and a disappointing series altogether.
Detective Comics 1069 - took awhile to remember what was going on in this comic. Once I remembered though, I was ok with this. The backup Mr. Freeze story is good. Part 1 of 3.
Human Target 12 - I don’t think the end of this was ever going to live up to the journey. It was still good but the true beauty of this story was in fact the journey. I’m going to miss this book, that is for sure.
