Comics I’m Buying This Week 08/18/2010

in Stuff I Like

Amazing Spider-Man #640 – I was prematurely set to hate this story with a burning fanboy rage, but last issue threw me for a loop.

Atlas #4 – Sad that this series is ending after #5. But the remaining two issues should be a hell of a ride, and I’m kind of looking forward to this creative team taking over HULK this fall.

Avengers Academy #3 – Christos Gage and Mike McKone are turning in the best Avengers book  currently being published. Accessible to new readers but rewarding for veterans.

Chew #13

Fables #97 – Still thinking I’m going to parachute on this book at #100, but it has time to change my mind.

New Avengers #3 – The second best Avengers book after Avengers Academy.

Secret Avengers #4 – The Avengers book most likely to be dropped by me. Love Brubaker, love the team, can’t get into the book.

The Sixth Gun #3

Thunderbolts #147

Uncanny X-Men #527 – Last issue fills me with hope that this book is on its game again after a long, dark period of crossover events.

Wolverine: Weapon X #16 – An issue, apparently, about Logan fulfilling Nightcrawler’s last wishes. In a perfect universe, this is a story about Professor X and Wolverine battling their way through Germany to plant a tree in the rocky, dead earth. Nobody reading this gets the reference I just made, did they?

“Nobody reading this gets the reference I just made, did they?”

Sounds vaguely like the premise of a LOSH comic. Something about a planet full of hardened criminals and Karate Kid’s memorial?
