First new comics in ages!


Recently, I finally found a copy of the out-of-print TPB “Hitman: Local Heroes”. Zombie Night at the Gotham Aquarium is still one of the best comic book stories I’ve read.  It has page-turner panels, splash pages, hilarious dialogue and a unique premise.   If Hitman were to ever be adapted to the screen, it would make a great framework for the first film.  Take that storyline, add in some of the establishing bits from other stories such as Natt the Hat’s return, and you’ve got a terrific movie.

In order to pad out my order and get free shipping, I grabbed some of the comics I’ve been missing out on ever since Jimmy Jams closed their store.

Here’s what’s on my stack:

Booster Gold #13-16  — Elongated Man appearance! Awesome!

Ambush Bug Year None #4, 5 (still need 6)

Sojourn #26  — Unfortunately, reading CrossGen comics makes me melancholy. How I miss that company.

Birds of Prey #123, 125  — Can’t get 124 because it’s a Joker/Babs showdown.

Green Lantern Corps #31  — I miss this book a lot, right up there with Booster Gold.  I need to get the rest of this arc.

The All-New Atom #17-25 — This completes the series for me (I’d read the trades).  The stupid listing for issue #25 told me it was the one where a beloved character dies.  Thanks a lot, dude.
