All right, which DC comic am I most looking forward to reading? Batman #655. I am excited about the debut of Morrison on this title. I’m a big fan of Morrison and am quite confident that he is going to deliver an exciting Batman.
The DC comic that I’m least looking forward to reading is an easy choice. Nightwing #122. Now, this is a character that Dan “Death Count” Didio has claimed is going to be a central player in the DCU. That was after Didio wanted to kill off Dick Grayson because he didn’t think he was a necessary character and that he was “surprised” there were so many Dick Grayson fans out there. Seriously? And DC is okay with having a person who would make such an idiotic statement making the editorial decisions for their company?
At any rate, even though Nightwing is going to be a big player in the DCU, DC sure hasn’t bothered to put any talent on this title in an effort to make it an interesting read. Nightwing has been a lousy read for quite some time.
Which Marvel Comic am I most looking forward to reading? Captain America #20 and Daredevil #87. Why? Two words. Ed Brubaker. Nuff said.
Which Marvel comic am I least looking forward to reading? It is a tie. New Avengers #22 and X-Men #189. Bendis is a talented guy. I have enjoyed his work on Ultimate Spider-Man and Daredevil. However, his New Avengers has been highly unimpressive.
The new creative team of Carey and Bachalo did nothing to impress me on their debut issue of X-Men. Carey delivered a very average story that didn’t get me interested in reading the next issue. Bachalo’s art was well below average. And on top of it, their debut issue was inferior to the impressive debut issue of Brubaker and Tan over on Uncanny X-Men.
