I’ve picked up my books one day early this week. I’m hav­ing a long week­end to sort out Ange’s birth­day, so I prob­a­bly won’t have the time to read the comics. Despite it being a small­ish pile.

Final Cri­sis: Resist #1

I didn’t mind Sub­mit all that much. It was a nice lit­tle dis­trac­tion that tied into the greater FC story the way Rage of the Red Lanterns didn’t. This book being the counter point to Sub­mit I’m sure it’ll read just fine.

Secret Six #3

Quickly becom­ing one of my favourite DC books. Except for Green Lantern that is.

Trin­ity #23

They’ve spent a few issues now estab­lish­ing the new “rules” of this world, but haven’t done that much with it. We seem to have hit a slump story-wise. and we’re not even at the mid­point of the series.

Avengers: Ini­tia­tive Special

I don’t know why they didn’t label this and the Ms Mar­vel book below ‘Annu­als’. The Ulti­mate Cap­tain Amer­ica book last week was an Annual and that char­ac­ter doesn’t even have his own book.

Ms. Mar­vel Spe­cial: Storyteller

Should be a decent enough book. From the sounds of it it revolves around a minor char­ac­ter who only appeared very briefly at the  begin­ning of the Ms. Mar­vel series. Could be good. Could be bad.

Ulti­ma­tum #1 (of 5)

With any luck this’ll be the last Jeph Loeb series I ever read. While he was a good­ish writer in the past (the 90’s X-Force title notwith­stand­ing) some­thing seems to have snapped. He seems to have ignored any pre­vi­ously estab­lished per­son­al­ity traits in favour of dri­ving a story for­ward.  See Ulti­mates 3 and the lat­est sea­son of Heroes.
