Weekly Comics Haul — 31st October 2008

I’ve been way to busy today to do proper write-ups for each issue. It doesn’t help that I had a sur­prise addi­tion to the pull list either. Ss usual I’m grab­bing Wiz­ard Magazine.

Hell­boy: In The Chapel Of Moloch

At my local comic shop I’ve been put down for ‘any­thing Hell­boy”. So I’ll auto­mat­i­cally pick this book up.

Final Cri­sis: Rage of the Red Lanterns #1

Of all the Final Cri­sis tie-ins this has to be the one I’ve been hang­ing out longest for. Just check out this pre­view over at Newsarama. Amazing.

Final Cri­sis: Sub­mit #1

Another FC tie-in. Unlike The SI books, these tie-ins have actu­ally been enhanc­ing the main sto­ry­line, so I haven’t regret­ted buy­ing them.

Jus­tice League of Amer­ica #26

I was right on the verge of can­celling this book, but then they suck­ered me back in with a sto­ry­line that fea­tured both a god and Else­worlds styling. Damn their hides!

Legion of Super Heroes #47

Three more issues left. I’ve been a bit crit­i­cal of this title in the past but I finally fig­ured out what had been bug­ging me. The story had been mov­ing at a glacial pace. Now with an end in sight all plot lines are start­ing to come together.

Trin­ity #22

I don’t usu­ally emote when I’m read­ing comics (is there some­thing wrong with me?), but last week’s Trin­ity was an excep­tion. Ori­gin sto­ries for two of the three bad guys and a not-so sur­prise reveal for the last.

Aston­ish­ing X-Men Ghost Boxes #1 (of 2)

Two issues into this series and we get a spin off mini. Is that some sort of record?

Avengers Ini­tia­tive #18

This book just keep going from strength to strength. The main draw­card for me is that the cast is largely made up of a bunch of unknowns. With no shield of invin­ci­bil­ity around them, like the rest of the Mar­vel sta­ble, these guys could die at any moment.

Ulti­mate Cap­tain Amer­ica Annual #1

I wasn’t look­ing to buy this book. But the comic guy dropped it my bag, so I fig­ured I might as well check it out.

X-Force #8

Still not a big fan of what they’ve done to X-23’s char­ac­ter. There’s still a lot to like in this book how­ever. A legion of the X-Men’s great­est eneimes ver­sus five of the X-Men’s more vio­lent members.
