THIS ISSUE:

-The all-new 12-issue story arc chronicling the comics of 2012 starts HERE!
-Who the hell is Pandora? And why should I care?
-As the quest for someone that's actually looking forward to Avengers Vs. X-Men continues, so does Avengers X-Sanction! Don't buy it!
-The Shade is a vastly underappreciated title that may or may not end up being cancelled early! Support good comic books and give it a read!
-Something about cool indie comics you should purchase too!
-Is anyone actually getting this bit? This is my first comic book thread, so I have no idea!

Don't you worry, I'll update the OP fairly soon with some more content. First up's going to be the collections.

No longer boycotting the Wolfenstein franchise
Looks like nothing for me this week, except maybe Seven Soldiers Of Victory Vol 1 down the line. I've been meaning to read that, might as well go with the paperbacks now that they're coming. I've got a lot of Grant Morrison already on my shelf that needs reading though.

Hawk & Dove is the perfect terrible 90's Rob Liefeld comic. It's got BARACK OBAMA BEING PINNED TO A WALL BY A BIG MUSCLEY GUY. How can you not commend its dedication to being amazingly stupid.

Batgirl is just sad and terrible. And Gail Simone is amazingly overrated as a comic book writer.

Hey, Liefeld must be doing something right if he's writing/drawing Hawk & Dove AND taking over Deathstroke. Meanwhile, DC keeps taking books away from Gail.

Now that's something that would irk me if this wasn't one of Bleeding Cool's terrible unchecked rumors based on one guy changing his twitter icon, because current Deathstroke is fucking ace.

I hate this .1 shit. The first UXF .1 happen in the middle of a story arc, doesn't teach you anything about the book, and isn't even as good as the first two story arcs :/ The second one is just a spin-off for some soon to be terrible book by David Lapham. How the fuck is THAT a jumping on point for the series!?

Spider-Man has one in February, but I'm ok with that one for a few reasons: 1) it doesn't start in the middle of a story arc. 2) It actually stars the main character(s) of the book. 3) It sets up future events that are happening IN the book(in this case, Morbius the living Vampire and the Lizard). So really, we get THREE ASM issues by Slott in February. Yaaaay

I'm like three issues behind Batman, Detective Comics, Action Comics, and The Flash.
Click to expand...

Catch up with Batman as fast as you can, it's amazing.
Action Comics is also very good.
The Flash has some wonderful art, well worth catching up on, maybe wait for the trade.

Detective Comics is junior league comics, very underwhelming, being three issues behind is a very good thing. You might like it if you like generic stitchy bad guys and Batman yelling at skells. Yaaaaaawn.

the only good ones were the iron man and black panther ones, and even still they interrupted good story lines so they werent welcome in place of the regular stories.

LiQuid!

I proudly and openly admit to wishing death upon the mothers of people I don't like
First week of the month (and year!) means it's Animal Man and Swamp Thing week.

Nothing.

Else.

Matters.

Don't read Batgirl, but I have never really liked Simone's writing. I will never understand either her or PAD's appeal. Never like the " humor" in their books. It's just not my thing. Both have a loyal following though.

Kryptonian , you are looking real sharp in your avatar pic. Good one.
