All right, we have a nice sized week headed to the Bunker. 5 for DC and 5 for Marvel. A very balanced shipment. So, which DC comic am I most looking forward to? 52 #13. I thought the last issue was pretty interesting and I am looking forward to reading more about Isis, the space team and what poor Ralph Dibny is going to do next. I’m also curious about Creeper #1. This title looks like it may be a nice offbeat change of pace. Which DC comic am I least looking forward to? Outsiders #39. This title has really struggled and I’m not too sure that there is much hope on the horizon for this comic book.
Ok, which Marvel title am I most looking forward to? That one is easy. Moon Knight #4. Huston has made this title one of Marvel’s best reads. I’d put it up in the top 5 along with Daredevil, Captain America, X-Factor and Iron Man. I’m also excited about Uncanny X-Men #477. Brubaker is doing a fantastic job with that title. It just barely fails to make the top 5 Marvel comic books. I’d rank it right at #6.
Now, which Marvel title am I least looking forward to? That is easy. Fantastic Four #539. This title got less and less interesting prior to Civil War. However, it has sunk even lower with the current Civil War tie-in storylines. I don’t know how much longer Fantastic Four is going to be able to keep its spot on the Revolution’s permanent pull list.
The manga that I’m most looking forward to is Buso Renkin Vol. 1. This is the new manga by Nobuhiro Watsuki. I absolutely loved his work on Rurouni Kenshin. Kenshin is one of my all time favorite mangas. It was beautifully done. Such a breathtaking change of pace from your standard America comic book.
