Hm. The first two Monthly Haul opening images contain Wolverine saying “Comics!” and I swear to God it wasn’t premeditated. Anyhoo, I kind of realized that since I’m doing this monthly comic book reviews thing, I might as well do it the last week of every month. If you noticed, I’m currently doing it the third week, which is sorta weird. So the third installment of Monthly Haul will come after the last Wednesday of January. I’m sure you don’t care, so let’s just go ahead and review some comics.
No, I’m not starting a new blog series about delayed shipments of new comics. I just want to celebrate the first time that I used a no-new-comics day to my advantage. See, I checked with my LCS about the shipment before I went to the mall. I was told the shipment is delayed, but if I make an advance payment for the new comics, I’d get free comics. Cool, right? Not really. First of all, when the clerk told me I’d get “free comics”, she actually meant “a free comic”. Yeah. Singular. What’s worse is that she was pressuring me to pick my free comic since there were a lot of customers and they were about to close shop. I ended up picking The Death of the New Gods #2.
I didn’t get this issue because the first one left me feeling empty inside. It wasn’t horrible, but I felt it wasn’t worth following for 7 more issues. But hey, it’s free. Might as well, right? So anyway, here’s the rest of the stuff that I paid for in advance:
If you haven’t heard yet, I love zombies. So much so that I decided to dedicate a category just for these awesome undead. If there’s anything I love more than zombies, it’s superhero zombies… IN SPAAAACE! That’s why my Face-Rocking Read of the Week is the first issue of Marvel Zombies 2, the sequel to the highly successful mini-series released in 2005. What makes it awesome, besides the involvement of superhero zombies IN SPAAAACE, is the face-melting twist: there’s a way to stop the hunger. Also, the superhero space zombies eat Ego the Living Planet. Good times.
This is where Baddie blogs about comics, pop culture, and other face-rocking things. Also, this is where Dr. Doom shares some of his infinite wisdom, but only when he feels generous. You will only bear witness to Doom's brilliance when Doom commands it! Your face, Baddie and Doom are rocking it!
