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:
I’ve waited months between reading Vol. 3 and Vol. 4 of Y: The Last Man and it’s worth it. I read Vol. 1-3 again before reading Vol. 4 and it’s the best reading experience I’ve had in a very long time. I love the pop culture references, as well as the clean art. It just gets better and better every volume. Everybody should be reading this awesome piece of literature. Seriously.
I just realized that I need a new and decent scanner so I can scan some of the most face-rocking panels of my new comics every week. With my crappy connection, I don’t have the time and patience to search for scans online. Bah. On to the reviews!
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!
