Hello again everyone! I’m back to talk comics with you. For the time being, until I really get into the swing of things, I’m going to be talking about comics that I read and am excited to see out this week, and also talking about some of the new comics out this week.
There’s no better way to start this than to just jump right in, so without further adieu, I give you my comic picks for the week!
Batgirl #22- Stephanie Brown has been one of my favorite incarnations of Batgirl from the start. She’s funny, cute, and smart but at her core, she’s kind of a ditzy blonde. She’s constantly trying to prove herself, and that’s one of the things I love about her character. Also, the interactions between her and Damian, are some of the funniest dialogue I’ve ever read. This month, Stephanie goes to London on a top-secret assignment. When the Greenwhich Mean is stolen, it’s up to Batgirl and Squire to save the U.K.!
Cinderella Fables Are Forever #5 (of 6)- Cinderella, Prince Charming’s third wife, (yup, THAT Cinderella) is an assassin and spy when she’s not running her shoe store, The Glass Slipper. In this issue, Cinderella and Ivan Durack have tracked her longtime nemesis from Switzerland to the Deadly Desert of Oz. Cinderella barely survived her last encounter with her nemesis, which begs the question; Will Cinderella survive until the end of this series?
Dr. Who #6- Welcome to Multiworld! A fluctuating rift complex filled with every historical location possible! Be a cowboy! A Roman! A knight! But when a crash-landing Sontaran survey vessel merges the rifts, the Doctor, Amy, and Rory each find themselves in different worlds-and in peril! And where did the Sontarans go?
Grimm Fairy Tales Myths and Legends #6- The Dream Eater continues its path of destruction tearing through the Grimm Fairy Tale universe and has now turned its attention to one of the most evil beings in all existence, Baba Yaga. Now Baba Yaga must join forces with her archenemy, the guardian of Earth, Samantha, to put a stop to the Dream Eater once and for all.
Supergirl #65- Lois Lane contacts Supergirl about a series of mysterious disappearances on a college campus. When the girls discover the truth about who is behind the kidnappings, it puts Supergirl in the path of one of DCU’s greatest villains.
Tiny Titans #41- Tiny Titans is one of my most beloved comic book series ever. It’s great for kids and adults alike. Art Baltazar, co-writer and artist of TT, is a great guy. I met him at NYCC last year, and he did a Ms. Marvel sketch for me in crayon, for free. He’s a full time art teacher, and he writes and draws TT in his “spare time”. This month is the all Flash issue. This issue also introduces Jessie Quick and features Inertia and Mas y Menos.
So, that’s what I’m reading this week. In addition to what I like there are also a number of DC’s “Flashpoint” limited series coming out. This list includes the following:
Flashpoint: Deadman and the Flying Graysons #1 (of 3)
Flashpoint: Grodd of War #1 (of 3)
Flashpoint: Legion of Doom starring Heatwave #1 (of 3)
Flashpoint Wonder Woman And The Furies #1 (of 3)
In other limited series news, Marvel is also launching an eight part series about everyone’s favorite Canadian Super Hero team, Alpha Flight!
Alpha Flight #1 (of 8)- Alpha Flight has long been the protector of an entire nation…but what happens when that nation needs to be protected from itself? Sasquatch, Snowbird, Northstar and Aurora have been joined by their revived allies Guardian, Vindicator, Shaman, and Marrina as the paragons and protectors of an entire nation. But as FEAR ITSELF takes over, their own country turns on the Flight and brands them traitors for the shocking actions of one of their closest allies. As the borders close and an entire nation hunts them down, will the newly reunited Alpha Flight survive?
In addition to all of these comics, the 14th trade paperback of “The Walking Dead” is also out this week, so make sure you pick it up, because you know you’ll have it read within an hour.
