By Rokk / August 29, 2007

DC COMICS

ACTION COMICS #855
COUNTDOWN #35
COUNTDOWN TO ADVENTURE #1
TEEN TITANS #50

MARVEL COMICS

AVENGERS INITIATIVE #5
SILVER SURFER REQUIEM #4

Wow, what a surprise. I can’t remember the last time The Revolution had such a small shipment of comic books headed to the Bunker. This week comes to a total of just 6 titles. As always, I’ll try to post as many reviews as possible.

Which DC comic book am I most looking forward to reading? I’m going to go with Countdown to Adventure #1. This title reunites our lost in space heroes from 52. Hopefully, this mini-series will be able to capture some of that 52 magic.

Which DC comic book am I least looking forward to reading? That would be Teen Titans #50. This issue is burdened with not just writing by committee but also art by committee. It smacks of a typical filler issue that you get with many annuals.

Which Marvel comic book am I most looking forward to reading? Neither. I’m not really all that excited for either of the two Marvel titles that I’m getting this week.

Which Marvel comic book am I least looking forward to reading? Neither. I’m not dreading either of the two Marvel titles that I’m getting this week.

I’m pretty neutral on the two Marvel titles for this week. I’m close to dropping Avengers Initiative. It isn’t bad. But, it isn’t anything great and I already collect way too many titles as it is.

I’ll try my best to start posting reviews as soon as possible. I hope everyone enjoys their new comic books for this week.

  2. I have found myself a golden title: Invincible. The title is from Image and while it has the humorous tone of the Tick, it isn’t “over the top” corny for the sake of being corny.

    I read the first free issue online (over at Image.com) and then I went out and bought the two newest issues at my local comic shop (yes, I’ve been whining I didn’t have one but I found one… thank the maker). Since then, I’ve bought 3 of the collections (4 or 5 issue groups) and I am loving the hell out of them.

    I’d like to suggest to the Revolution that if you’re willing to branch out into non-“Big 2” territory, Invincible should be high on your list.

  3. Man, I really can’t believe you’re still following Countdown.

    I was going to get the graphic novel Crimeland by Ferreira and Albaqurque. Too bad it’s delayed, so no comics for me this week..
