Pull List from week 46 (last week)

Posted by Carlos Rosas on Nov 18, 2008 in Comics, Comics I Read This Week

1. Stuck In The Middle With You

I love these characters, I just don’t like Winnick’s writing that much, I’m getting it anyway.

2. Forgotten, Part Six: Full Circle

sad to know that this series is coming to an end, it’s good, but it didn’t catch its public.

3. Boxes: Chapter Two Of The Dark Ages

I’m so late on this series, I really love it, I’ll try to read it all during my vacations

4. Sins of the Star Sapphire Part Two - Empty Handed Heart

I’ll get this one, even though I’m late on this series, haven’t read it since the Sinestro Corps arc.

5. Superman

The Justice Society is much more fun than the JLA these days, I have been enjoying it a lot more. I don’t know why DC don’t put Goeff to write JLA too (even though this issue is written by Alex Ross).

6. Part 3 of 5

I’m getting this series too, but I’ll wait for it to end so that I read it all.

7. Cacophony Part One: Bring The Noise

I’ll read the first one and if it’s good I’ll get the rest.

8.

I know I should be reading this series, but I’m waaaay late on it.

9. Hell comes to Birmingham - Part Two

I really liked Paul Cornell’s Pete Wisdom mini series, I read the first issue of this series too, I thought it was going to be a mini also, during Secret Invasion, I’m glad to know that it’s not, I’ll try to read them all this weekend.

10. Stars In Your Eyes, Part 2

pretty late on this one too, about 4 or 5 issues, but I really like the character, I hope this series goes well.

11. Old Huntin’ Buddies; A Bookie Minute Mystery

I’ll have time on my vacation to catch up on ASM, I’m getting it anyway.

12. The Great Leap: Conclusion

Again, pretty late on this one, last ish I read was on the One Year Later thing, but I’m going to read it just because of the Batman R.I.P..

13. Dead and Burnt to Ash; Air Is For Cowards

I’m also getting this one, but I haven’t read any issue at all, these weekly comics are the ones I get late more often, and it’s like I’m not thaaaat excited to read it.

14. One Door Closes, Another Opens

even though I don’t think Judd Winick is the best writer around, I’m enjoying this series.

15. New Krypton, Part 2: Beyond Doomsday

I’m enjoying the New Krypton arc, I’m really excited to see what’s going to happen.

16. Batman R.I.P.: Heart of Hush, The Conclusion: The Demon in the Mirror

I’m just a little late on this one, maybe a couple of issues, but I intend to read all of Batman R.I.P. tie ins.

17. Old Man Logan, Part 4

Hell YEAH!!! Mark Millar and Wolverine, greatest combination

Pull List from last week

Posted by Carlos Rosas on Nov 10, 2008 in Comics, Comics I Read This Week

1. Three Kings

I read this one, it smells like a reboot is coming in the end, and I got pissed that Dazzler died, at least it looks like she died, but I don’t know. The Ultimate Universe is not as good now as it was in the beginning, if it’s going to reboot or get deeply revamped it will be very nice


2. Earth Bound

I read this one, I liked it, I’m excited to know what will happen to JSA in the next few months, the stories are much much much better than the Justice League ones these days


3. Resist

I read it but I couldn’t get the end, well, I understood that the OMACS killed everyone in Checkmate? Including Fire and Ice, and that Sasha died too? What The Hell? This comic is quite good though


4. Kill or Cure, Part 3; Abomination; Uncheerable

I’m kind of reading this, it’s a shame it’s only a mini series, it reminds me of the good old days of X-Men Unlimited and its short stories


5. Adam: Legend of the Blue Marvel

I’ll give it a try, but it sounds like The Sentry


6. Family Ties, Part 2

Brand new day was a little crappy, but I’m trying, the hard thing is that with my lack of time I’m waaaaay late on this series, that comes out thrice a month now, I must be at least 15 issues late, but I’ll keep trying


7. Gigantic

I got this one, haven’t read yet, but it looks really nice


8. Can You Dig It?

I’ll read this first one and we’ll see. Every once in a while they try to bring Terra back


9. The World Shapers

Grant Morrison? Of course I’m going to read this!!!


10. Chapter 3: Reign

I read the first issue and I’m going to try to read the rest this weekend. It’s nice and fun.


11. The Strangest Teens Of All

I got this one but I haven’t read yet, It looks nice, I’ll give it a try this weekend


12. Epilogue: Clifton Pollard

I haven’t read any Issue of this new series, but I’m willing to read them at least… this year, heheh!!! I’m also late on IM’s other title. Since this one has only 7 to read I’ll do it first, the other one I haven’t read since Civil War


13. Terror Titans, Part Two: Making the Cut

I have read the first issue of this series, but not this one yet. I thought it was ok, but I’m personally not enjoying Teen Titans after Geoff Johns left the writing duties. Anyway, I’ll read this one to see what happens


14. Waiting for the End of the World. Chapter Two: Invasion, U.S.A.

I’m reading Cable and I’m thinking this series is quite ok, it’s good to read, but if nothing happens soon I don’t think it will last much

Ola a todos, hoje vou falar de dois Showcases que li recentemente, The Flash e Phantom Stranger.

Primeiro vou falar do Phantom Stranger, que eu terminei nesse final de semana.

Esse showcase não conta a origem do personagem, como acontece com vários outros. Na verdade ele é focado em dois personagens, o Phantom Stranger e o Doctor Thirteen.

Ambos, por um bom tempo, tinham histórias juntos. O Phantom Stranger resolvia o “desconhecido” pelos seus meios enquanto o Doctor Thirteen tentava provar que o sobrenatural não existe.

De primeira as histórias são bem interessantes, mas lá pelo meio do livro elas começam a ficar cansativas, principalmente pelo fato de o Dr. 13 passar a ser mostrado quase que como um idiota, sempre tentando provar que o sobrenatural não existe depois do Phantom Stranger ter resolvido todos os problemas, com todas as provas, todos vendo que o ocorrido nos casos era sobrenatural, e sempre repetindo praticamente as mesmas situações a cada história.

As histórias voltam a ficar interessantes da metade para o final, quando eles separam as histórias dos dois personagens, dando a devida atenção aos dois.

Foi uma boa aquisição, mas ela é mais voltada para quem já conhece o personagem e gosta dele, pois, como eu já disse, lá no meio as histórias ficam cansativas e repetitivas, mas no geral é uma boa leitura. Com certeza eu compraria uma segunda edição.

Leitura para sábado a tarde depois do almoço.

3 Jimmy Olsens e 1/2

Agora, vou falar do que provavelmente, se não é o melhor, é um dos melhores Showcases que eu já li, o Showcase Presents The Flash.

Parece brincadeira, mas esse foi o showcase que eu li mais rápido.

É completamente Era de Prata, temos todos os elementos aqui, o mocinho do bem, os vilões feios do mal que pretendem roubar bancos, dominar o mundo, etc.

Além da primeira aparição, e origem, de Barry Allen, temos as primeiras de Wally West e sua origem como Kid Flash, Elongated Man e Sue Dibny, Gorilla Grodd, Pied Piper, Mirror Master, Captain Cold, The Trickster, Captain Boomerang e outros.

Esse Showcase é cheio de diversão, é do tipo que você termina uma história e logo quer começar a ler a próxima. Todas as histórias são cheias de ação à Era de Prata, o que é bem legal.

Foi um Showcase que demorou demais pra sair, já que esse Flash representa o início da Era de Prata, a partir dele que a DC resolveu reformular todos os seu personagens da década de 40.

Falando nisso, também nessa edição, temos a última história de Jay Garrick, o Flash da Era de Ouro, como primeira história. Bem interessante também.

A única coisa que me preocupa na série de Showcases do Flash, vai ser quando o Professor Zoom aparecer, o Flash-Reverso, no preto e branco vai ser difícil saber qual é qual.

Eu recomendo a aquisição desse showcase com certeza, todo e qualquer fã de quadrinhos deve ler essa coleção de histórias que deram origem a toda uma Era.

Leitura rápida

5 Jimmy Olsens

Semana que vem eu estou de volta com mais dois Showcases analisados. Inté!!!
