Pull List – 09/03/06



Powers – Bendis’ best title. As its his own creator-owned stuff he can do whatever he wants to these characters, without the burden of continuity and fanboy death threats. Last issue shook-up the status quo significantly again and I hope that Bendis sees this through, rather than teasing us!

Pulse – a poor shadow of its predecessor (Alias) plagued by unsuitable artists and storylines getting caught up in crossovers (i.e. secret war/Disassembled/House of M). And yet I still buy it?!?!?!

7 Soldiers Miracleman – The revolving door of artists that could of potentially hampered this series, has still not destroyed my love of all things Morrisonian. As we’re coming to the end of the 7 Soldiers epic, I can’t wait to go back and re-read the whole damn thing.

7 Soldiers Frankenstein – I didn’t enjoy last issue so much, I felt it too slight for a Morrison comic, but I still have faith and two issues of 7Sol goodness in one week?!?!? That’s just good stuff!

Son of M – The rest of the post house of M/decimation spin-offs etc. I’ve dropped, as there is no motivating force behind them, beyond moping about. But I love the art on this series and am enjoying hanging out with the Inhumans again.

Dropsies

Bomb Queen – Picked up the fist issue as it sounded interesting, but it doesn’t live up to its potential. The concept is drowned out by cheesecake and kindergarten humour. Any doubts were quelled by the text piece at the back where the writer calls himself a renegade. Fairly sure, renegades don’t call themselves renegades…

Maybes

Teen Titans – Damn Infinite Crisis #5 has intrigued me what’s going on with Nightwing and Superboy, so I’ll see when I pop to the shop tomorrow.
