All right, it looks like a massive shipment is headed to the Bunker this week. With a whopping 15 titles ahead of me, there is absolutely no way in the world I can post reviews for all of these issues. I’d have to quit my job in order to get them all done. So, I’ll just pick and choose which issues to review and try to get as many done as possible. Maybe eight of them or so.

Ok, so which DC comic book am I most looking forward to reading? It is no contest. 52 #40. This is one of the hottest titles on the market right now. The boys at DC have been kicking ass on 52. I am excited to see the big showdown between Steel and Lex.

Which DC comic book am I least looking forward to reading? That would be the All New Atom #8. My interest has begun to wane as this title appears to lack any real purpose. This comic book is a bit too shallow and lacks anything that really captures my interest. Unless Atom #8 blows me away, I’m afraid that this title is going to get the axe.

Which Marvel comic book am I most looking forward to reading? Iron Man: Hypervelocity #2. I haven’t had time to post a review for the first issue of this mini-series, but I definitely will. This is an exciting read that does an incredible job developing Tony’s personality. This title looks back at Tony’s beginning and does a great job at making Tony a much more edgy and intriguing character with plenty of personality.

Which Marvel comic book am I least looking forward to reading? Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #17. I love what David is doing over on X-Factor, but he has failed to impress me with his work on Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Maybe David is focusing the majority of his energy on X-Factor and just mailing it in on Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. If this title doesn’t pick up soon that it runs the risk of getting the axe as well.

Well, there are plenty of good comic books headed our way tomorrow. Enjoy reading your new comic books and I’ll endeavor to start posting reviews as soon as possible.
