Weekly Comic Book Review’s Top Picks

Dean’s Top Picks

Best From the Past Week: Unwritten #23 – This series has now strung together 4 very powerful issues in a row and that puts it squarely back on my A-list of titles.  The art in this issue was wonderful.  Some pages made your hand cramp just seeing the detailed inking.  The revelations about Tom Taylor’s nature are coming fast now and that probably means that this series is building towards a climax.  Grab the last few issues and get caught up!  Runner-up: Bomb Queen vs. Hack/Slash One-Shot

Most Anticipated: Creepy #5 – Bless Dark Horse for bringing back this horror anthology!  I have no idea what kinds of stories we’re going to get this time, but they are always just the ticket if your’re seeking some good, old-fashioned B&W horror stories (often with wonderful ‘Oh, Henry!’ moments).  The only problem with this series thus far is the release schedule.  Why can’t this be a monthly series?

Other picks: Haunt #14, Lorna Relic Wrangler #1, Marineman #4, FF #1, Hulk #31, Neonomicon #4

Ray’s Top Picks

Best From the Past Week: Amazing Spider-Man #656 – Shame on you if you aren’t reading this book. ASM has consistently stayed on the top of my “read first” list. Nine issues in, and Dan Slott has yet to disappoint.

Most Anticipated: Batman Incorporated #4 – After stops in Japan and Argentina, it’s good to finally have the Dark Knight back home. But what I’m mostly looking forward to with this book is his team-up with Batwoman. After word got out this month that Batwoman’s return to the shelves have been delayed once again, it’s nice to know that there will be a Kate Kane sighting tomorrow.

Other Picks: Hulk #31, Batman: The Dark Knight #2, Green Lantern #64, Captain America: Man Out of Time #5, Captain American #615.1, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #156, Uncanny X-Force #6
