All right, we have a nice selection of comics headed to The Bunker this week. With eight new comics headed my way, I’m pretty confident that I can crank out the reviews in a timely fashion.

Which DC comic book am I most looking forward to reading? I have to mention that for the first time in forever, I am actually excited about the newest issue of the Legion of Super Heroes. However, the title I am most excited to read would be 52 #38. 52 is white hot as the writers head toward the finish line. The past two issues have been incredible reads and I’m sure that 52 #38 will be just as good.

Which DC comic book am I least looking forward to reading? Robin #158. I don’t dig the guest artist for this current story arc. And I can’t say that the storyline is anything particularly interesting.

To be honest, I picked up Robin at the beginning of the One Year Later storyline because I heard a lot of people complimenting this title. I really enjoyed this title at first. However, the past several issues have been rather pedestrian. Robin is one title that is going to head to the probation list and if it doesn’t improve over the next couple of issues then it is going to get the axe.

Which Marvel comic book am I most looking forward to reading? Wow, that is an incredibly tough question. Punisher: War Journal has been a really good read. X-Factor and Moon Knight are arguably the two best titles that Marvel publishes. And Wolverine #50 is the debut of the new creative team of Jeph Loeb and Simone Bianchi.

I guess I’m going to have to go with X-Factor #15. David is doing an incredible job with this title. X-Factor has some of the best dialogue and character development that you will get in a comic book.

Which Marvel comic book am I least looking forward to reading? Honestly? None. Marvel boasts a fantastic line-up of new comic books for this week.

As always, I’ll effort to begin posting reviews as soon as possible. Enjoy your new comic books today.
