Cover of the Week for 11-23-11

This cover stood out almost immediately. It's no secret that I love the X-Men and this week I present a cover from an X-book featuring two characters who are not only two of my favorite X-Men, but two of my favorite characters in all of comics. Ladies and gentlemen of comics, I present the cover for Astonishing X-Men #44. Take a look.

This interesting piece is credited to Mike McKone. It features Cyclops and Storm engaging in quite a kiss. I can't wait to read this and see what is happening here.

Love it? Hate it? Indifferent? Or have another choice? Let me know. Thanks for looking.

Comic Haul for 11-19-11

This is actually the majority of the books I picked up last week. I didn't take a pic of the books I picked up Wednesday. Grabbed some Black Panther issues I missed and some Mighty Thor which I hadn't checked out since the first issue. Also a few issues of Fear Itself, which I am behind on. Rounding out the haul are several DCnU books and a few other titles. Also grabbed the Widowmaker mini and the first two issues of Huntress. I'm looking forward to reading both of those. And that's not really sayin much considering I'm looking forward to reading it all.

After leaving my shop, I made my usual stop over at Target to see if they had anything new and they sure did. Grab these two MU comic packs. I really only wanted Taskmaster and Silver Samurai, but whatever. I could've bought them solo off ebay, but it would've cost me about the same with shipping likely. Might as well take the extra figures.

Cover of the Week for 11-16-11

Happy New Comic Day! Now go BUY some comics. This week sees the cover of a book representing one of the best gaming franchises of this generation. I present to you Mass Effect: Invasion #2.

The credit for this lovely piece goes to Massimo Carnevale. It features Aria and she does not appear to be happy. Don't you just feel the energy from her? The colors are simply amazing. And look at those eyes? Beautiful.

Love it? Hate it? Indifferent? Or have another choice? Let me know. Thanks for looking.

Comic Haul for 11-12-11

I'm still workin on catching up on a ton of comics. I've been doin good with that and with clearing out my pull-box. Shouldn't be too much longer before I'm fully caught up. Here's my haul from yesterday.

I had several X-books including the Magneto: Not A Hero, Avenging Spider-Man #1 (with a review coming shortly), some DCnU #2's & #3's, and a lot of G.I. Joe. I am REALLY behind on Joe action. What'd you pick up this week?

Cover of the Week for 11-9-11

Happy New Comic Day! Celebrate it by going to your lcs and buying some books. There weren't many covers that really struck me for this second entry of Cover of the Week. But that doesn't mean there weren't some good ones. After taking a look at this week's releases, I picked the cover of Huntress #3. Take a look.

I will admit that I am not a big fan of Guillem March. His style doesn't always appeal to me. But for this nice cover, it does. I am a fan of Huntress, so that may have contributed to it.

Love it? Hate it? Any other picks? Let me know. Thanks for looking.
