Top 5 Comics (02-27-13)

The return of Top 5 Comics... and it's a week early. So I took a couple weeks off thanks to me getting into a new schedule of actually work and that junk, and I'm posting this early because I will be spending all of tomorrow and Thursday traveling to Seattle to attend Emerald City Comic Con, so look forward to hearing about that when I get back.

5. The Rocketeer: Hollywood Horror #1 (IDW): Since IDW has been publishing the various Rockeketeer mini-series' each one has been enjoyable, and so I am looking forward to seeing how this one pans out.

4. Uncanny Avengers #4 (Marvel Comics): The cavalry arrives to help save our heroes from from the Red Skull and his psychic powers. Remender is just knocking this series out of the park, and I hope to get to talk to him at ECCC. Great characters, great story, and was a great launch to Marvel NOW just only issue is with its on time release. Hopefully that becomes less of one so we can continue to enjoy an great comic.

3. Uncanny X-Men #2 (Marvel Comics): This was not a comic I was expecting to have on my list at all... ever. Hell I wasn't expecting to have the title in my file the other week, but bam it was there and I bought it without realizing it. So I gave it a read and damn it was enjoyable. Much more enjoyable than All New X-Men #1. The reveal at the ending, though not a twist, gives the book a good solid direction that has me interested in continuing.

2. Young Avengers #2 (Marvel Comics): I normally don't like to swear on the blog but all I can say about this book is right now is "Goddammit Marvel you fucking cock tease! Why must you make me wait so long for this book!?! Don't you realize I need it in my life?" So in summation start reading this book if you currently are not.

1. Batman, Incorporated #8 (DC Comics): Now I haven't read any spoilers, and have no intention on reading any, but this is always one of my must read titles. With the hinted death of my favourite Robin I am very interested in reading this issue. Yes, Damian Wayne is my favourite Robin, he has been the Robin as long as I have been reading comics and I will hate to see him go.

Top 5 Comics (02-06-12)

Its the return of my top 5 weekly comics pull list. It's a new month with a new attempted at regularly posting here. So lets get to the comics.

5. Swamp Thing/Animal Man #17 (DC Comics): This is a double placing, for today is the finale of the epic Rot World story that was building since the New 52 reboot. I have them together here because since the start of the Rot World story arc we've seen these two title intertwining, and it is only fitting to have them close out together.

4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #18 (IDW): The Turtles find themselves in Dimension X. After following the Teenagers from Dimension X last issue to the home dimension of Krang! What does this war torn dimension have in store for our Turtles?

3. Iron Man #6 (Marvel Comics): Iron Man in space! This is the start of the AVX aftermath story THE GODKILLER. Could Tony be facing galactic repercussions for his actions in AVX?

2. New Avengers #3 (Marvel Comics): Johnathan Hickman and his Illuminati story. This is by far one of my favourite titles out of Marvel NOW. With a new member joining their ranks, could this be Beast in his new form as a representative of Mutant kind? (More than likely)

1. Avengers #5 (Marvel Comics): Another character development issue introducing us to some of the lesser known characters on the team. The last issue was great with it's Hyperion focus. I can't wait to see how these pay off in the long run of what Johnathan Hickman has planned for the title.
