the Read Pile - 8/6/08

By
I'm not going to rate them on how much I anticipate them for a while. Also I'm going to throw the moment of weekness up from now on as it's own thing. 

 FINAL CRISIS #3(OF 7) - I love this cover. I wish I loved this comic.



HOUSE OF MYSTERY #4 - This book is interesting and subversive check it out.

IRON MAN VIVA LAS VEGAS #2(OF 4) - It's been way too long since issue one.


TWELVE #7 (OF 12) - This is my favorite of the ww2 heroes in present day maxi-series that are out.

ULTIMATE ORIGINS #3(OF 5) - I don't really get it but i'm still buying it. 

VENOM DARK ORIGIN #1(OF 5) -  With a possible Venom movie on the horizon this book may very well serve as the basis.




JONAH HEX #34 - Meh.

TRINITY #10 - This series is really very good. 

WAR THAT TIME FORGOT #4(OF 12) - I like this series a lot. Every issue has people fighting a different dinosaur which is kind of genius.  This cover is the weakest out of all the ones they've done so far but I still like it. 



DETECTIVE COMICS #847 RIP - I liked last issue with HUSH I hope he doesn't take the bat mantle though.

AVENGERS INVADERS #4(OF 12) - Great cover. alex ross is really busy huh?



FATHOM #1 - No idea who or what this is. picking it up cause it has a cool sounding title.

TOR #4(OF 6) - Haven't been reading this, I'm collecting it to read all six together.

COMICBOOK REVIEW: Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special

Time for a comicbook review of an unusual comic for me. Every once in a while at the comic shop, I may feel particularly random. Something odd may call to me from the shelves. This comic is one such oddity. Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special jam-packed with two epic Garfield's Pet Force stories. What is Garfield's Pet Force? I had no idea. I'm familiar with the concept of Oddie and Garfield and watched the cartoon a few times as a kid. I wouldn't consider myself a Garfield fan in the slightest. This comic may have changed my mind on the lasagna loving cat, though. Garfield's Petforce is Garfield as a superhero named Garzooka. Garzooka leads the Pet Force which is made up of his cartoon friends who have their own superpowers and dorky names. The stories are written by Scott Nickel. The first one is called "Cat-astrophe in the Cosmos" with pencils by Gary Barker and George Lane the third, inks were done by Mark and Stephanie Heike. The story s...

-Can we officially shut the fuck up about Jake Locker now? I don't care if he was playing the Pittsburgh Steelers, 4-20 for 71 yards, a TD, and 2 INTs is unacceptable. If you take away a 45 yard TD strike to Jermaine Kearse, he was 3-19 for 26 yards and 2 INTs. He's got lots of talent and I'm sure he's a perfectly decent kid but the idea that Locker is the ultimate prospect in this year's NFL Draft is inexplicable. His Heisman campaign is obviously deader than dead at this point and I see no reason that he won't be the next Tim Couch. -Here's a random one: Kansas is down 31-10 to Southern Miss...they score a touchdown with 5:17 left in the game...and go for two?! Uh...what? Who did the math on that one? What possible scenario are they planning for? Are they planning cut the deficit to 13 instead of 14 in hopes that, in the event that they have to settle for two field goals at some point, they can still tie the game (with the addition of another touch...
