New Comic Tuesday: Invasively Whedon Edition

SECRET_INVASION_2.jpg

Another week, another fine selection of comics coming to you tomorrow. Who's here to help pick the cream of the crop? Why us, of course!

Here are our picks of the week!

Marvel

Avengers/Invaders #1
Classic Cap is transported into the future and confronts Iron Man! This is the beginning of a 12 issue maxi-series by the same creative team as Earth X (Alex Ross, Jim Krueger).

Invincible Iron Man #1
The debut of the second ongoing series of Marvel's current hottest superhero written by The Order's Matt Fraction. Hopefully you'll be able to pick your favorite cover out of the 6 being offered.

Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas #1
Flying under the radar is Iron Man movie director Jon Favreau's comic book debut. I can't vouch for quality, so check it out at your own risk.

Logan #3
The last issue of Brian K. Vaughan's Wolverine miniseries.

Mighty Avengers #13
SECRET INVASION ALERT! This issue features Nick Fury and the new Howling Commandos as they try to stop the aforementioned invasion.

Secret Invasion #2
Grab some popcorn because I'm sure this issue will be shocking and entertaining.

DC

DC Universe Special: Justice League of America

An 80 page comic that reprints classic JLA stories that will be relevant to Final Crisis.

Vertigo

House of Mystery #1

A classic comic re-imagined. Five characters are trapped in a supernatural bar and are trying to figure out how they got there.

Dark Horse

Buffy #14
The Wolves at the Gate storyline continues with the Scooby gang hitting up Tokyo!

IDW

Angel: After the Fall #7
It's a Whedon fest as Buffy and Angel come out this week.

New Comic Tuesday: I Swear This Was Posted On Tuesday--Wait Are You Calling Me A Liar?! Edition

countdown#1.jpg

This week marks the end of the soul-sucking void known as Countdown to Final Crisis with issue #1 hitting the stands tomorrow. Sure I'll buy it to see how the events will lead to Final Crisis, but I'll be sure to take a long hot shower after to wash out the mucky feeling.

Is anyone else picking it up, even though it's a constant supply of unfulfilled dreams and promises and will most likely end up in next year's month's quarter bin?

Speaking of DC, here are this week's picks!

Batman #675
Yes, yes. Ra's al Ghul has been resurrected...now hurry up and get to issue #676 so we can get to the Batman R.I.P. storyline!

Countdown to Final Crisis #1
Arriving 50 issues too late...

Death of the New Gods #8
You know, it's really simple to know that the events from Countdown #2 directly continue in this issue...not.

Justice League of America #20
Wonder Woman slaps the Flash on the wrist for not answering his JLA signal. Meanwhile, the Queen Bee stops by to--oh forget this. Wasn't JLA supposed to be epic in scope after the events of Infinite Crisis?

Over at the Marvel camp, the Secret Invasion tie-ins continue to drain our wallets with Mighty Avengers and Ms. Marvel.

Our picks for Marvel:

Hulk #3
Red Hulk, meet the Abomination. No, we swear this has nothing to do with your upcoming film...

Mighty Avengers #12
Nick Fury. 'Nuff said. Ok fine, I can't say no to that puppy face. Here you go.

Ms. Marvel #26
I'm not sure what it is about this title that makes me reluctant to pick it up...oh yeah, it's the fact that it includes things such as "Lightning Strike Force". *shudder* Also, Skrull stuff happens.

New Exiles #5

Oh Chris, if only we could vocalize your thoughts! Then you'd realize how dumb it was in application. *I must refrain from writing more for I am Jonostarsmore of PK and-- hmm this new Mariah Cary album is pretty good. I wonder if Eli Stone's going to be back for season 2--oh yeah! Lost is back on Thursday-did I remember to do laundry?*

Thor #8
Really pretty art. Really bad setting...

Uncanny X-Men # 497

The X-Men are in San Francisco. And...um...oh hey look they're dressed as hippies!

X-Force #3

The Michael Bay version of X-Men blow @#%$ up. Also, claws.

Young Avengers Presents #4: Vision
This title's existence makes me hate Grey's Anatomy for robbing me of my Allan Heinberg. Here's how we can fix this Allan: kill of Meredith and have Derek remarry Addison. The End. Then you can get back to work on season two of Young Avengers!

That's all for this week. Check out the full release list after the jump!

countdownskrull.gif

This week, we find ourselves torn at the PK offices...

If you're a Secret Invasion or Countdown fanatic, there's all kinds of good stuff happening. If you're not...well...there's always trades to stock up on...or how about checking out issues from our LGBT Comic of the Week, Pride High?

Now on to this week's picks! Along with my giddy commentary!


Marvel Skrull Sightings

Mighty Avengers #11
(It's not so secret if everyone knows about it...)

Miss Marvel #25
(Miss Marvel: "I'm a Skrull!" Everyone else: "Attention whore")

New Avengers #39

DC: Countdown Overkill

Countdown Presents: Lord Havok and the Extremists #6
(Glad to see the second tier X-men characters finding work)

Countdown Special: Eclipso 80-page Giant
(I like gum. Note to self: this could prove interesting)

Countdown to Adventure #8
(which one? The adventure I had last weekend at the club in the back room or the adventure of me dislocating my shoulder? Neither? Oh...carry on)

Countdown to Final Crisis #5
(You better mean it, DC! You've had more crises than an episode of Degrassi! At least they have poutine, what do you have to show for all this?)

Normal DC stuff:

Green Lantern #29
(I heard some good stuff is happening in this book...rainbow rings and whatnot)

EVERYONE ELSE WHO IS NOT THE BIG TWO

Sonic X #31
(why not?)

Gravel #2
(written by Warren Ellis? Why was I not aware of this book?! Added to pull list.)

That's right, stop eating so much...erm...ink. Gawd, look at you. Maybe you need fewer picks of the week, and more fiber in the form of the straight release list? Yeah that's what I thought.

What kind of glucose-filled material will you be checking out this week?
