Ultimate Comics Spider-man #2 - A close second. If anyone knows how to get in touch with David Lafuente, I must get the above page.
- Immortal Weapons #2 - after the David Aja cover, not even Dan Brereton's fantastic art could keep up. The Iron Fist story in the back is also just as good as anything that happened in the ongoing series.
- Justice League: Cry for Justice #3 - Bendis is gonna have to really bring it in the Powers letters page when they re-launch to continue to hold onto the title of best back-matter.
- Incognito #6 - didn't end up loving this series as much as Criminal, but I'm also not sure about the new Criminal mini series format, even though each story before was basically a mini series in itself.
Strange Tales #1 - Paul Pope's story was amazing. I wonder when he wrote that/his Wednesday Comics pages. Spider Town was adorable. Dr. Strange was so trippy. Namor made me want to read Tales Designed to Thizzle. I didn't expect much from Peter Bagge or Molly Crabapple, but they brought it, too. The weak link was, sadly, James Kochalka.
- Deadpool #15 - I'd like a Young Liars/Deadpool crossover in which Daniel Way and David Lapham just go nuts and try to one-up each other in the crazy stunts in which they have their characters partake.
- Witchfinder: In Service of Angels #3 - there's something really appealing about this series, but at the same time I never have any notion to open it until I get to the bottom of the pile.
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer #28 - Carly said that she saw the last page coming a mile away, but it was a complete surprise to me. Much more exciting than anything that actually advanced the plot.
- Invincible Iron Man #17 - Pick of the Week. "Flowers for Shellhead."
- Mice Templar: Destiny #3 - congrats to our Acme customer Tim Hamrick for getting into the letters page! The layouts were awesome, too.
- Batman #690 - this is the closest I've come to dropping a Bat-book, which makes me sad because I really dig Bagley. Hopefully Art Thibert will be inking him again when he gets to Justice League, and that the tone of the story will allow the colors to be brighter.
- Agents of Atlas #10 - Agents of Atlas oversized hardcover, #1-12, plus the Agents of Atlas vs. X-Men 2 parters that's coming up. It's gonna have to happen, just like an Invincible Iron Man Omnibus with #1-19 of that one.
Chew #1-4 - this was our big push this week at the store, and I think we moved something like 15 sets of these issues between Wednesday and Friday. As too often happens, I fell victim to our sales pitch myself and dove in. This is a great series with serious backmatter and working on a lot of different levels. The recap of Tony's powers/affliction reminds me of the opening to Pushing Daisies. The above pic came from
