Rob G’s Picks

Pick of the Week: Amazing Spider-Man #600- Finally a “monumental” issue that lived up to its hype. Virtually every aspect of this comic was great and set up tons of interesting stuff for the future.

Most Anticipated: Fantastic Four #569- Mark Millar made me actually enjoy the Fantastic Four for the first time, um, ever. Now his awesome “Masters of Doom” arc comes to a close, unfortunately minus Hitch.

Other Picks: Detective Comics #855; Dark Tower the Fall of Gilead #3; War of Kings Ascension #4; Ultimatum #6.

Alex’s Top Picks

Best Of The PastWeek: Invincible #64 – For the second month in a row, Invincible had far and away one the most shocking event of the month.  It was also surprisingly feel good.  Anything that makes me watery eyed is an instant pick of the week!

Most Anticipated: Northlanders #19 – Brian Wood is on a hot streak as of late and last month’s Shield Maidens issue was amazing.  I can’t wait to see how it ends.  This is truly one of the best books out there and if you’re not reading it, you should be.  Really hard-hitting, smart stuff.  The fact I picked it over Detective Comics should indicate how good it is.

Other Top Picks for this Week: Detective Comics #855, New Avengers #55, Thunderbolts #134, Justice Society #29, Secret Warriors #6, Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps #3, Battlefields: Tankies #3

Tony’s Picks

Best of the Past Week: Incredible Hercules #131 – Any fears I had about this series losing its mojo were quickly squashed with this issue, which was funny as hell and a pure joy to read.  As long as they can keep up this kind of quality, they’ve got me hooked as a reader.

Most Anticipated for this Week: Lobster Johnson book 1: The Satan Factory – My pick of the week isn’t even a comic, but instead a pulp fiction book based on a comic character!  Dark Horse has a beautiful book on their hands here, with its retro pulp cover, and I’m excited to see if it’s as good a read as it looks to be.

Other Top Picks: Wednesday Comics #4, Invincible Iron Man vol 2: World’s Most Wanted, Ghost Rider: Last Stand
