Minor pick up of some filler issues-when I stopped by my lcs yesterday, one of the dealers I trade with/buy from in the Gem City FB group who also frequents the store had dropped off a few books I had grabbed from one of his claim sales at the beginning of the month. Nothing major, just knocking 2 more off my list for DHP, a Space Ghost appearance, and a Harlan Ellison themed comic. I've got a pile o'stuff to pick up from Jesse himself, but these are the first books I have gotten in hand in the new year. -M Love The Nocturnals. I'm a huge Dan Brereton fan. And that Space Ghost cover is great.

This really was a tough week as there's a few covers by artists I love. But when push comes to shove

Read of the week
Wasp #1 Al Ewing continues his streak of great series of the original Avengers. If you didn't read the Ant-Man mini, I highly recommend picking that up. Ewing showcases my favorite Marvel character, Janet Van Dyne. What's great about Ewing with these legacy stories he's creating, he pulls from all parts of the history. This time bringing in the backstory of her origin but also making it come back to haunt her many years later, after her father's death. Also tying in her stepdaughter, Nadia van Dyne (the Unstoppable Wasp) to this as well. It's what you expect from Ewing. Artist Kasia Nie is beautifully suited for this adventure of the Wasp. Clean and wonderful.

Back from CGC. My oldest comic in my collection. The Barks story has been reprinted so I can read it whenever I want to.

Got back some more of my comics back from the bindery to add to my library - Steel. Collects. Man of Steel 22, Steel 1-52, Steel Annual 1 - Uncle Sam & The Freedom Fighters. Collects Battle for Bludhaven, Uncle Sam & the Freedom Fighters 1-8, Uncle Sam & Freedom Fighters (vol 2) 1-8, and Freedom Fighters 1-9 - Hawkworld. Collects the Hawkman Mini 1-3, Hawkworld 1-32 I try to make my covers interesting. Some of the comic book covers are great and are suitable to use and then I like to change things up and use other art as the cover. Steel, I used the covers as I did with Hawkworld. Uncle Sam... well, I like a lot of the covers but there's so much text on them it made it tough. Since the Freedom Fighters were originally going against the Nazi on Earth-X, I wanted to use WWII era posters as morale. Nice. I think Hawkworld was an underrated series... at least for the first 20 issues or so.
Agreed. That crossover in the mid-teens (War of the Gods) sort of hampers the story with the crossover book (I'm blanking) on it bur it ramps with Escape from Thanagar until the end with Truman doing the final art on the series. Nice. I think Hawkworld was an underrated series... at least for the first 20 issues or so.
I loved Hawkworld. But I'm a big fan of Ostrander and Truman both. Likewise. Love the Ostrich. I think I have all of his works. As for Truman, I don't have all of Scout. I don't think I've read it all but I love his DC books a lot. And Grimjack, I have almost all of it

- Batman Fortress 8 - Batman/Superman World's Finest 11 - Nightwing 100 - Punisher 9 - Wasp 1 Did Fortress get better after the first issue? I only gave it the one try and it seemed off to me. It's been alright. Nothing special but has its stupid fun moments.
