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.
