Aha! Comic delivery!
And yet again, I seem to have managed to miss something. *sighs* It's probably mostly a result of leaving the sending back of orders in a hurry, at the last possible minute - but that might not be much of a problem, as titles head for the chopping block.
Firstly, a word to Marvel. Knock off the flotilla of "Dark Reign" limited series, willya? I'm NOT buying them all - actually, I'm not buying any. Tie-in issues of titles I already buy? Sure...
With that out of the way, I can make a few preliminary comments: "War Of Kings" has started well, with interesting tie-ins interlinking through Guardians Of The Galaxy and Nova, probably Marvels' best titles at the moment. I didn't read the X-Men titles leading up to this, but the preliminary "Kingbreaker" series, finishing this month, has set things up well enough. I can always track down the preceding material at a later date.
Next, another Marvel gem. After last month's Avengers/Dark Avengers confrontation that never happened in New Avengers #50 (good, but booo, cheat!), I'm looking forward to the scrap between Osborn's bunch of fakes and the star of Incredible Hercules next month. Go, Herc - GO!.
Now to prove I'm not a total "Marvel Zombie" (but hey, it's my money) - Green Lantern Corps #34 continues the run-in to another cosmic epic - DC's "Blackest Night" - and delivers a bit of a shocker; someone has been busy, and there are going to be consequences that aren't going to be pretty.
Also... Ground has been broken on the first of those "snapshots" for The Darkhawk Diaries that I mentioned last time. Expect an interesting insight into the life of a young hero, now that his parents are in on the whole thing...
Elsewhat... Dropped the ball on craft projects today. Tomorrow may be out, too, as I'm teaching Parental Unit the interweb, and playing a critical role in an event in Ultima Online.
