A Comic Show – From Warrior Princess To Robot Boy!
Aaron Haaland of A Comic Shop in Orlando, Florida, writes:
Hey Fandom, A Comic Show is back with another stack of New Comics Now. This week it's almost all Image again!
The biggest book of the week is Princess Leia though. Mark Waid brought it with the exact story week wanted. Starting seconds after the end of Episode IV and dealing with why the hell this princess is on the most dangerous missions. Also, the Dodson's were born to draw this book. Lemire's All New Hawkeye #1 had more heart and almost as much humor as Fraction's first issue. Spider-Woman #5 was self aware of the Spider-butt internet fiasco. And Guardians Team-up #1 by Bendis & Art Adams was a lot of Avengers/ Guardians fun.
DC has Harley Quinn #15 with the return of Poison Ivy, the end of Swamp Thing, and this first week of their Movie Homage covers.
Image stole the week with a new title, continuing series, and a copies great collections. Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen's Descender #1 is a sci-fi epic that actually about a little boy and his dog (well a robot boy and a robot dog). Nameless #2, Saga #26, and Black Science #12 all reminded me why Image is the number one publisher out there. Birthright volume one is out for just $9.99. And Nailbiter volume two is here with a Nailbiter Hack/Slash one-shot special.
As if that wasn't enough, Dynamite has a new Warren Ellis book, Black Cross #1. And SDCC has met it's match with Palmiotti and Brady's The Big Con Job #1. A crew of genre actors, who are guests of the con, team up to pull a heist Ocean's Eleven Style!
