HOLY CRAP WHAT A WEEK!

First - Two from last week I kind of slept on, picked them up this week, worth a read:

Benjamin #1 - A pulp writer, in the vein of a Robert E. Howard or a Phillip K. Dick wakes up in a seedy motel with no memory of how he got there. Turns out, he had a heart attack and died decades ago… and then it gets STRANGE.

They Choose Violence #1 - Three women, each touched by violence, and rejected by the justice system, turn to violent action. This one has a twist ending.

My local shop told me this is a mis-print and they were asked to destroy all copies. If you can find it, grab it. No word on what the mis-print is. I was lucky and scored 2 copies, will be interesting to compare to the corrected version.

This Week:

Absolute Martian Manhunter #4 - Continuing the alternate version of Martian Manhunter, for my money the best of the Absolute runs.

Assorted Crisis Events #4 - From the author of Absolute Martian Manhunter, what happens to average citizens as they live through one crisis event after another.

Department Of Truth #31 - The continuing story of a world created by what people believe and the organizations manipulating reality by determining what people do or do not believe.

Flash #22 - One of the better Flash stories involving fluctuating reality… maybe feels a little like it’s dragging on at this point.

From The World Of Minor Threats Welcome To Twilight #4 - Always a fun read. Super-villain stories where the villains are… minor threats.

Ghost Machine: Shared universe at Image. Hyde Street #7 - Damned characters stealing the souls of other damned characters. If they collect 10,000 souls, they can return to life. Pranky the demon boy scout is well over the limit and seems to have made it a personal mission to block others from hitting the goal. Rocketfellers #6 - A family from the 25th century is trapped in the 21st and struggling to fit in.

Green Arrow #25 - New story arc starts here!

Green Lantern Dark #5 - Alternate reality GL story, good read.

Huck Big Bad World #2 - A Superman story if Superman were mentally disabled. Huck is a simple-minded do-good, feel-good character.

Justice League Unlimited #8 -

Moonshine Bigfoot #3 - 70s and 80s references… with Bigfoot!

Mr. Terrific Year One #2 -

New History Of The DC Universe #1 -

Peacemaker Presents The Vigilante Eagly Double Feature #4 -

Purpose Project #1 One-Shot - With an inroduction by Andrew Yang, it envisions a future where everyone no longer has to work because they are granted a Universal Basic Income… but they still go to the office anyway? And do nothing? Because that’s what they’ve ALWAYS done?

Spider-Boy #20 - Final issue!

Spider-Man And Wolverine #2 - Retconning what happened to Peter Parker’s parents… Spoiler! Wolverine killed 'em? Really?

Thing #2 -

Ultimate Spider-Man #18 -

We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us #4 -

X-Universe:
Uncanny X-Men #16 -
Giant-Size Age Of Apocalypse #1 -
X-Men From The Ashes Demons And Death #1 -

Absolute Martian Manhunter #4 seems like the best issue so far. I loved art from how White Martian’s white circular head became the Sun burning with heat, Bridge becoming more and more angry and the whole culminating argument. Tension is escalating through the whole comic until the sudden blackout in the end. If someone can read only one series from the Absolute line, then AMM is probably best choice.

Wolferine and Spiderman #2.
