New stuff 1009-5

Anita Blake: The laughing corpse vol.1 - Animator


Buck Rogers #5


Dies hard #2
18 new item in October 09

Supernatural: Rising son

This is the 1st Supernatural comics I read. I don't really know why I decided to buy it in the 1st place, but I'm glad that I did because I enjoyed reading it, and am looking forward to getting the 1st book "Origins" and new book "Beginnings end". I prefer to get the Marvel and DC comics in TP format instead of separate issues because it's cheaper and doesn't have the annoying commercial every other page.
The story is a chapter in Dean & Sam's childhood, when their father John Winchester learned that the demons see Sam as some kind of a demon messaiah. Itr adds lots of insight to things happening in the TV series.

Boom! for January 2010

  1. Die Hard #6

12 items solicited for January 2010. An all times low :(

Star Trek comics news from Ryall

Star Trek: Spock - reflections

This book is supposed to be a spin-off of the new movie. But I didn't find anything to connect it to the movie. Spock living on Romolus teaching young Romulans about Surak is a known fact at least in the Star Trek novels' expanding universe.

Another inconsistency is the Jim Kirk's fate. While in this book Kirk stayed dead after the 5th movie, there are Star Trek books in which Kirk is alive like the books "written" by William Shatner.

Other then that I loved the concept of Spock remembering eppisodes from his past during a long voyager to earth. I wouldn't mind reading more comics using this concept.

New stuff 1009-3+4

Last week I was busy with work so here are 2 weeks worth of new comics:

15 new item so far in October 09.
Still waiting for the major (for me) January solicitations.

New stuff 1009-1 and more

Die hard: Year one #1


Supernatural: rising son

Witchblade vol. 2




3 new item so far in October 09


Star Trek omnibus vol.2: Early voyages

Unlike the 1st Star Trek omnibus, this time IDW took the time to enhance the old Marvel comics and result is great. Even the coloring doesn't look like Marvel 90s shoddy coloring.
Loved the Pike era stories. I don't unterstand why Marvel ended the run in mid story. I hope that IDW will contact writer Dan Abent who is now writing Doctor Who novels and get him to pick up where he left at the end of issue #17.
