My Comic List: April 2nd, 2008

I want to talk about comics more on this site. So I am! Maybe you read the same ones I do? Let’s talk. Here’s what I’m picking up this week:

Action Comics #863; a title I’m probably going to drop soon just because it’s not doing much for me.

Detective Comics #843; just because. I still have a backlog of about 10 months to get through.

Nightwing #143; same here.

Amazing Spider-Man #555; I’m still reeling from One More Day, looking for subtle hints that this is all a farce. But even if it’s not, I’ve been pretty happy. That Mr. Negative character is kind of creepy. Sometimes the writing is a bit campy, but it’s good enough to spend money on.

Cable #2; wait, I missed issue 1?? I can’t believe that. I’m all about anything X-Men at the moment, thanks to the Messiah Complex story arc.

Kickass #2; “The Most Badass Comic Book Ever,” or something like that, is the tagline. Agreed. It’s about a kid who dresses up like a superhero and tries to fight crime… something that, to my amazement, hasn’t really been done before. The first issue was about how bad he got his ass kicked after trying to stop a group of thugs. Can’t wait to read this one.

Logan #2; Wolverine & Brian K. Vaughan. Can’t ask for much more, except #s 3 and 4.

Omega Unknown #7; I’m waiting for all 10 issues of this run to come out before I dive in.

Secret Invasion #1; Ooo, “do you want to know a secret?”  Yes, I do.

Young X-Men #1; like I said… anything X-Men.

Boys #17; if you aren’t reading this, you’re missing out. I usually wait until an arc is complete before reading so I can get it all in one sitting. I’m really hoping the series shows us more of the Seven, who should have thier own spin-off series. They’re so… real.

That’s it for this week! Actually it’s a pretty heavy week, I was hoping not to spend this much.

What do you have on your list? Anything I should have on mine but don’t?
