since i started my new comic collection, i've been looking for a good way to ease into the batman universe. well today was certainly the day for that as a new era in the world of batman seems to have been born. 3 bat titles this week. yes yes yes.
batman: the return (one-shot)
batman #704
batman incorporated #1
and here's the rest of my epic haul:
haunt #11 - another outstanding cover. pretty safe to say this series is 11 for 11 in the epic cover department.
hellboy: double feature of evil
soldier zero #2 (cover b)
marvel dominates the rest of the stack...
iron man rapture #2 - definitely my cover of the week. the first two issues of this series might be two of the best comics i've ever read. awesome awesome stuff.
thor: first thunder #3 - love the story / hate the interior art
daken dark wolverine #3 - love this cover!
x-23 #3
x-men curse of the mutants #5
generation hope #1
osborn #1
spider-girl #1
i picked up those last two titles to go along with the new spider-man "big time" arc.
and finally darkwing duck #6 (still waiting on issue 1 - torture!)
so much reading!
Is the interior art the same as the cover on X-23? If so pretty cool, just seems so off base for the range of styles Marvel keeps. Like the cover for Generation Hope as well; can't wait to tear into some of these!
ReplyDeletei am not a fan of the x-23 covers at all. however i really enjoy the interior work. here are some samples...

over turkey day break feel free to tear into as many of these as you have time for!
Okay, the interior art's kinda cool. That's like I just started reading Ultimate X-Men, and it's so inconsistent. I don't like having 3 different artists for a single book.
ReplyDeletei don't think i have ever come across a book that switches artists every issue... that would definitely get on my nerves. but i understand changing things up after the completion of a particular story arc (after 4, 5, 6 issues or whatever) if that makes any sense...
ReplyDeletenow that you mention it, i have ultimate x-men: the ultimate collection vol. 1 on my shelf (first 12 issues) but i haven't read it yet... is that what you're reading now?
Yeah, I've read the first 20.. I think? I don't know though, because looking at it now, it looks like issues 13-14 come after 20, but it made sense when I was reading it, so I'm not worried about that. But yes, what you have is volumes 1 & 2 put together, which has 4 different artists between both books. It's not a huge problem till volume 3 though where there's 3 different artists, and it's so drastic that even the character styles change a bit. I'll bring the 3rd one down with the rest of them this week.
