Hey Fandom! I'm back with more new comics now! This week has some Marvels of note, Justice League 3000, and X-Files Conspiracy among others.

First, let me just get it out there, and apologize for not covering Miracleman in the video. What happened was, I read Miracleman in the comic shop's bathroom and left it in there. So, it never made it back into my stack of comics for the video. A few hours after the video I realized my error, went back in the bathroom and the book was missing. Someone got it a day early (but theft a day early isn't breaking street date, right). Anyway, I loved the issue. It gave so much respect to Marvel Man, the Miracleman era, and the journey to get here. Marvel now owns both the rights to the trademark "Captain Marvel", and Marvel Man/Miracleman! Take that Shazam! The meat of this issue is the ALAN MOORE story, that Marvel had to credit to "The Original Writer" like he's God (the author of the universe, duh). Sorry, for not covering it. Superior Spider-man had some great story beats that I didn't spoil. Thunderbolts is where Soule can put Blaze Ghost Rider out to pasture. The X-Men books were solid, All New being a modern "God Loves, Man Kills" and Amazing is more pirates Nightcrawler! And that Night of the Living Deadpool comic, it's a "shut up and take my money" book for Wade's fans.

Superman Wonder Woman #4 starts with their relationship status outed and continues with the Phantom Zone! Charles Soule has made me interested in their relationship, and if you're in Orlando stop by 2.8.14 for his store signing. Justice League 3000 #2 continued the JLI inspired bickering. You guys know how much I love the Justice League International era, and I'm totally into the feel living on in the 3000's. GLC's team are the guys who are taking over Flash with April's #30, and bringing on Wally West as an Azul Speedster!

Black Dynamite #1 is a brilliant 70's looking comic capturing movie and show's aesthetic. I also go on a bit on how neat the new X-files "crossover" with Transformers, Ghostbusters, The Crow, and Ninja Turtles is. I even give praise to the various variant covers. Maybe I should have talked more about the execution of the story, but damn- this wins on concept alone for me.
