New Comic Tuesday: In Before Wednesday Edition
All right folks, you know the drill. This is the part where we recommend some of the hot books coming out tomorrow, along with my incredibly special commentary.
Have at thee!
Oh yeah I got too excited and this list went on too long so you'll have to hit the jump!
Marvel
Amazing Spider Man #455: We're four months into this mess already? I have a few words to tell Mr. Joe Q. But hey at least my favorite artist is on the job, Chris Bachalo...maybe I'll buy it.
Cable #2: In which art becomes ugly and disturbing. Also, nobody ever puts baby in a future timeline corner.
Dark Tower: The Long Road Home #2: When he's not telling us about how much we really love Spider-Man, Joe Q actually draws quite well. See the variant cover for this issue to see what I'm talking about.
Kick-Ass #2: After a slow start, I hope issue 2 picks up. I'm very interested to see how Mr. Millar is going to tie up Fantastic Four, Wolverine, Kick-Ass, and 1985.
Logan #2: Brian K. Vaughan better start working in not making this another generic wolverine mini.
Secret Invasion #1: AHHHHHHHHH! Invasion of the body snatchers skrulls! Lock your doors, turn on the radio, and make me a sammich woman, cuz we're going retro!
Young Avengers Presents #3: Wiccan and Speed: Ohh...this one is going to be good. It's about batty Wanda's twin kids. And one of them is dating Hulkling. Kinky.
Young X-Men #1: Christ! This week blows for my wallet, as I pony up to check out this new post Messiah Complex, pre-syncopal (but post menopausal) spin off starring the kids from the book formerly known as New X-Men, which used to be the title of the current X-Men: Legacy, which used to go by just X-Men but he got all douchey and pretentious.
DC
Fair warning: Since Oraclechele is out, I am giving 2 word reviews of the written previews for these books. That's right, a review of a preview. Deal.
Action Comics #863: Superman wins.
Countdown to Final Crisis #4: Superman loses.
DC Special: Raven #2: Raven...no
Detective Comics #843: Batman scowls.
Supergirl #28: Supergirl...question?
Trials of Shazam #12: Shazam Superman wins.
Now we have an epic poem!
Superman wins
Superman loses
Raven...no
Batman scowls
Supergirl...question?
Superman wins.
Read it out loud, it sounds poignant I swear.
Moving on.
Dark Horse
Buffy: Season Eight: #13: Wolves at the Gate Part II: Yes! I am finally all caught up (thank God for second choice LCSs....we'll talk about that later...) so I am very much looking forward to this! Who do you all think the Big Bad is? I mean yeah we know his name and all, but who's under that mask!? Throwing all logic out the window, I'm betting it's Cordelia. Yep, you hear it hear first. Don't come back apologizing when I'm proven right.
IDW
Angel After the Fall #6: OK this one I haven't been keeping up with, and I was die-hard Angel fan. What's the verdict guys? Worth picking up the back issues to catch up? Or am I better off watching Fred dying in season five and bawling my eyes out. Oh, spoiler alert or something. Whatever, the show ended years ago.

Boy Meets Hero by Chayne Avery and Russell Garcia
Buffy: Season 8: That is quite the logic throwing. I'm assuming that it is either Caleb or Riley, but we'll see.
Angel: After the Fall: I read the first 4 issues and was sorely disappointed. It has none of the character of Buffy Season 8 and I guess given the ending of Angel, I expected something a bit more epic, heroic, and shall I say it Neil Gaiman-y. I've basically decided to give it a pass until the trades come out.
Pfff, Cordelia is dead and ain't coming back, no matter how much you wish it.
I originally thought it was Fray's brother, but I remembered that we've seen the Big Bad out during the day, and her brother is a vamp.
Caleb's pretty much dead, and not in that namby-pamby mystical way, but in the "I've been subdivded by an axe" way.
Riley is always likely, as he's one of the few males linked to a Slayer still alive and is also unaccounted for.
Shit, what if its her dad? :)
I've got the spoiler for you--I'm the big bad.
Actually, it's jonostarsmore. He's wearing the mask because, well, he doesn't really have a face. Duh!
@MuddBstrd: The "I've been subdivded by an axe" way, unlike the "I've been flayed alive by 'Darth Rosenberg'" way? ;-)
Also, whatever happened to Ethan Rayne? I'm trying to recall if he's dead dead or just kinda disappeared dead?
@MuddBstrd: Also, the axe in question is all sorts of slayer-making mystical too so who know what sort of FDA warning label should be on that thing:
"Side effects may including hair whitening, psycho slayer-elitist creation, and revivification of your evil nemesis."
Also also, thanks for calling it an axe and not a scythe ;-)
@Jack: He's dead dead. I don't think getting shot in the head by a 4-star general counts as a mystical death, especially since getting shot in the head by a 4-star nerd does (thank you Tara).
