We start with Chris Samnee ‘s cover to issue 32 of Daredevil because I have loved this run and because MONSTERS! Take those pencils in and enjoy the issue because Samnee tweeted earlier this week that issue 36 will be the end to what has turned out to be an historic run for Mark Waid on Daredevil.
If the cover to Justice League 24 looks familiar it’s because it should be. It’s Ivan Reis’s homage to Jim Lee’s cover to the New 52 reboot Justice League #1. This cover stars the Crime Syndicate from Earth 3. Jump in now and pick up the Forever Evil issues. If you think you’re missing out, you are.
Pretty Deadly’s cover wasn’t the only thing that stopped and made me think. The book is terrific. It also sold out of its 57k print run. If you can get your hands on one, you should. If not, there is a second printing on the way soon.
I love Samurai. I love Samurai Jack because it’s a tip-o-the hat to Kazuo Koike & Goseki Kojima’s Lone Wolf and Cub. Trivia time, the entire run of Lone Wolf and Cub is my favorite series of all time.
Deadpool, the “merc with the mouth” and the man with the permanent pizza face is eating pizza while his compatriots do all the fighting. The coloring is what caught my eye though, so there ya go!
In panels this week I picked my favorite for last. Here is some Rat Queens #2 goodness to start us off. Do not mess with a smidgen after you’ve thrown her companion to the ground like a rag doll. She’ll stab your ogre eyes out!
Kiss Me Satan! has been a wild ride. I love Ferreyra’s style so much. I talk about it more in my Colder review here. What struck me about this panel is that staked vampire French maids start very hot but end up very not.
I’m not sure if Ultimate Spiderman Miles Morales is going away. There isn’t a solicit for an issue 29 but I’m grateful for the 28 plus the 5 “Spider-Men” books we got. Please don’t kill of my Marvel 1610 Bendis! I guess we’ll all just have to wait and see during the next big Marvel Ultimate Universe event, Cataclysm.
That’s it for this week true Bot-lievers. If you want more, there’s always last weeks 5 and 3. Be sure to come back next week, same bot channel, any bot time. I’d love to hear from you, so post in the comments about the picks this week and then send me some tweets @MarkAvo.
