What are you getting this week? (1/7/2009)
Another slow week for me with only 4 titles coming in…
- American Mcgee’s Grimm #3
Dwight MacPherson (w) Grant Bond (a & c)
Episode 3: Strap on your chaps and ten-gallon hats-Grimm’s in the western comic book world! The dead walk the streets of Gravestone as resurrected outlaw Thumbless Jack Hammer squares off against Sheriff Sam Sixshooter in a showdown at high noon. It’s a fight the sheriff always wins… but this time Jack’s got a Grimm ace up his sleeve!
- Gravel #12 Wrap Edition
Warren Ellis (W) Mike Wolfer (W/A)
Combat Magician William Gravel is playing with powers far beyond his own in this second story arc of his ongoing series! The nature of the game William Gravel’s playing is revealed. He has a process for discovering who killed Avalon Lake, and it’s as brutally logical as you’d expect from an SAS man. The problem is that all the members of the Major Seven are more powerful than him and have been magicians for a lot longer. How does one man affect a group who are more numerous and more deadly? Well, that’s pretty much what the SAS was invented for!
- Green Lantern Corps #38
Peter J. Tomasi (W), Patrick Gleason (A) and Rebecca Buchman (A)
“Emerald Eclipse” hits its shocking conclusion leading directly into BLACKEST NIGHT. The sciencell riot causes a new law to be doctored into the Book of Oa as Kyle and Guy fight against it. What fate awaits the honor guards, and who will be left standing from the riot that shook Oa to its core?
- Witchblade #128 Cover A
Ron Marz (W), Stjepan Sejic (A), Stjepan Sejic (Cov) and Luke Ross (Cov)
‘War of the Witchblades’ Part 3 (of 6)
The momentous ‘War of the Witchblades’ story arc continues! Every war has casualties and the climactic battle in Witchblade #127 has left both Sara and Dani lying on the ground. Which one will rise to reunite the Witchblade? Or will the Witchblade choose a new bearer entirely to carry the mantle of The Balance? Featuring a beautiful homage variant cover by Luke Ross (Captain America)! Cover A – Stjepan Sejic, Cover B – Luke Ross
