My Recent Comic Haul (6/1/14)

  Dead Boy Detectives #6   Larfleeze #11   She-Hulk #3   Purchased at Bob's Comic Castle. Total amount: $9.60   Notes- I'm really liking She-Hulk at the moment. Javier Pulido's art is fantastic and Charles Soule's writing is fun and fitting for the character. Plus one of my favorite Marvel characters, Patsy Walker a.k.a. Hellcat, has a good supporting role as Jen Walters's private investigator. After FF wrapped up, I never thought I would have another Marvel comic on my pull list and now I have two (For the curious, Silver Surfer is the other one)!...Larfleeze is one issue away from being cancelled and I have to admit I won't really miss it much. It's a silly, little romp for the most part with an one-note character, but I enjoy the writing combo of Giffen and DeMatteis and Scott Kolins is one of the few current DC artists who knows how to draw. It's a lightweight book and I can see why it doesn't pull in the readers. But I will give them bonus points for reintroducing G'nort to the New 52 and basically keeping him the same as always (And, yes, that is a good thing!)...It's a small haul, but She-Hulk wins it!   Edwin Paine was created by Neil Gaiman, Matt Wagner, and Malcolm Jones III.

Yesterday's Comic Haul (11/10/13)

  Dial H #15   FF #13   The Fox #1   The Sandman: Overture #1   The Unwritten #55   Purchased at Bob's Comic Castle. Total amount: $20.26   Notes- Sorry to hear FF is drawing to a close. I guess it's understandable with Matt Fraction leaving and Mike Allred doing the new upcoming Silver Surfer title. FF has been a fun book that I look forward to and I'm going to miss Darla Deering and the Future Foundation kids...Still undecided if I'm going to follow the next volume of The Unwritten. It's been an iffy book for me the last year or so. I still enjoy the characters, but I keep leaving each new issue sitting in my pull pile for a bit before I purchase it. I guess the enthusiasm I had for the series has waned. It happens!...Was looking forward to The Fox. I like Dean Haspiel's art, but I wasn't blown away by the book. Still I'll give the next issue a shot...The winner for this week's haul? Sandman.   Merv Pumpkinhead was created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth, and Malcolm Jones III. DC Comics
