It looks like The Revolution is getting another good sized shipment of comic books headed to the Bunker today. Once again, we have a total of 11 titles for this week. It is pretty balanced between Marvel and DC. As always, I’ll try to post as many reviews as possible.
Which DC comic book am I most looking forward to reading? That is a tough choice. There are several great DC titles this week. Action Comics #850 sports the Legion of Super Heroes on the cover. Green Lantern #20 is the finale of a pretty good storyline. Countdown has been a blast to read.
However, I’m going to have to go with Justice Society of America #6. As a long time Legion fan I am completely fascinated with this JLA/JSA story arc. I cannot wait to see what Johns has in store for us with this issue.
Which DC comic book am I least looking forward to reading? That would be Teen Titans #47. I found the Titans East to be a massively disappointing story arc. I hope that this new story arc is able to get this title back on track. Without Johns on this title, I’m afraid that my interest will begin to wane.
Which Marvel comic book am I most looking forward to reading? There really isn’t much of a choice this week. I find this selection of Marvel comics this week to be rather weak. I’m going to have to go with Daredevil #97. This story arc involving the Gladiator has been a neat little character study.
Which Marvel comic book am I least looking forward to reading? It comes down to either Ultimate Fantastic Four #42 or Wolverine #54. I’m going to have to go with Wolverine #54. Loeb is going nowhere slowly on this title. Talk about your ridiculously slow pacing. This story arc lacks direction and I’m just not into this entire Lupine plotline. I do think that Loeb is a talented writer so hopefully Loeb will be able to get Wolverine back on track.
I’ll try my best to start posting reviews as soon as possible. I hope everyone enjoys their new comic books for this week.

I’ll be getting GL #20 and NA:I #3.
The former series has been a bit slow for me, of late; way too high an exposition-to-action ratio. The backup stories have been consistently more interesting.
I’m enjoying the heck out of the latter. Great Jim Cheung art, and fun one-shot stories featuring the real all-star Marvel “Justice League.”
Hey, there!
I’ve been an avid fan of your reviews, and recently a friend of mine and I wished to start a column. The first ones I thought of were yours and Comic Book Nation. I was wondering if the rules you have (like the supposed Nazi rule or Good Comments rule) could be exposed and if I could use them (with possible modification and credit, of course)?
Thanks!
