comic book stash #46

last week i brought home one of the best batch of comics i've ever picked up. here's how i ranked them...

1 - detective comics #880
2 - uncanny x-force #12
3 - amazing spider-man #666
4 - the mighty thor #4
5 - x-men: schism #2
6 - fear itself: FF
7 - flashpoint: project superman #2
8 - the vault #1
9 - wolverine and deadpool: the decoy
10 - batman: the dark knight #4

detective comics continues to be a work of genius. wow. x-force was a very close second. those two are easily the best books out right now. spider-island got off to a great start. the mighty thor continued it's successful run. schism, FF, and project superman were all really good. the vault started out slow but ended on a very high note. wolvie and deadpool was a fun little joke story. the only stinker... dark knight. ugh. hopefully it gets better after the relaunch.

this week brings another excellent stack of books. two great weeks in a row? looks like it...

red skull incarnate #2 - COVER OF THE WEEK! the retro style of these red skull covers are so unique and refreshing. it's probably a lock that each week a book from this series is released it will be crowned the COTW.

wolverine #13 - another great cover by jae lee. but let's hope this issue brings a little something new in the story department.

flashpoint #4 - great cover. we're getting close to wrapping up DC's mega event. can't wait to see how it all ends.

flashpoint: batman - knight of vengeance #3 - this mini-series will probably go down as my favorite mini for the year. it's that freakin' good. and wow, this cover is haunting.

batman: gates of gotham #4 - if the book above has any competition for the mini-series of the year, it might come from gates of gotham. gorgeous art and a totally original story. you've never read a batman book like this one before.

next we have a couple of debuts from image comics. first up...

the infinite #1 - a brand new series from comic king robert kirkman.

severed #1 - a new horror book from the best writer in all of comics, scott snyder. at first glance the art doesn't look so great, but if anything can make you get over less than stellar art, it's a story from mr. snyder.

and last but not least...
