It looks like we have a nice selection of comic books headed to the Bunker today. This week is pathetically small for DC and loaded down with Marvel titles.
Let’s ask our traditional questions that we run through each and every week. Which DC title am I most looking forward to reading? Well, since I only have two DC titles headed to the Bunker, it is kind of pointless to run through my traditional questions of which title I am most looking forward to reading and which I am least looking forward to reading. I have enjoyed 52 more than Robin. The last issue of 52 was absolutely incredible. On the other hand, the last issue of Robin was a little weak. I am interested to see if the boys at DC can come out with another killer issue of 52. I’m also curious to see if Beechen can get Robin back on track after a short story arc that read like pure filler.
Which Marvel title am I most looking forward to reading? That is tough one. I’m excited to read Astonishing X-Men #18 and Moon Knight #6. Astonishing X-Men has been an exciting ride and Whedon has really impressed me with his writing. However, I’m going to go with Moon Knight #6 just to give some love to the lesser known title. Huston has weaved a powerful story on Moon Knight. Moon Knight is raw and emotional and has quickly become probably my favorite Marvel title.
Which Marvel title am I least looking forward to reading? Oh mi dios! I have so many choices to choose from! Marvel is supplying us with a full slate of Civil War related titles, which does nothing to excite my interest. We get Civil War #5, plus Civil War tie-in issues in Iron Man #13 and New Avengers #25. If you are a big fan of the Civil War storyline then this week is going to be fun for you.
Of course, I can’t overlook the fact that we have Ghost Rider #5 complete with craptacular writing by Daniel Way. So, it looks like it is going to come down to New Avengers #25 and Ghost Rider #5. Since I absolutely love the artwork on Ghost Rider, I’m going to have to go with New Avengers #25 as the Marvel title I am least looking forward to reading. No title has been more horrendous to read since the Civil War tie-in issues began than the New Avengers. Seriously, Civil War cannot end soon enough so I can go back to getting quality Avenger storylines in this title.
As always, feel free to let the Revolution know what you are looking forward to or dreading this week. And if there is a title that you think I’m missing out on. Reviews shall start being posted by Thursday.
