Batman #18
By: Scott Snyder, Andy Kubert, Greg Capullo
Publisher: DC Comics
Price: $3.99
The Lowdown: The solicit says “In a wake of unspeakable tragedy…” Is it the aftermath of “Death in the Family?” Is it the aftermath of Batman Inc #? Is it both? Either way, Batman is on the edge. With almost his entire support system in the wind, Harper Row is the only one left who can help him.
Peter Panzerfaust #10
By: Kurtis J. Wiebe, Tyler Jenkins
Publisher: Image Comics
Price: $3.50
The Lowdown: Peter Panzerfaust is very consistent adventure book. I haven’t name dropped it in a while so check this one out.
Fearless Defenders #2
By: Cullen Bunn, Will Sliney, Mark Brooks
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Price: $2.99
The Lowdown: People are always saying there are not enough female superheroes (because there isn’t) nor is there enough superheroes of color (because there isn’t). This title checks all of those boxes with the added advantage of being pretty cool all on its own. So I don’t have to feel like I have to push just because it is about female/minorities. This is in fact a really cool book you should check out. At least so far.
Secret Avengers #2
By: Nick Spencer, Luke Ross, Tomm Coker
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Price: $3.99
The Lowdown: Way back when, I said Taskmaster to should join the Secret Avengers. This issue, he does. Of course, this is a different kind of Secret Avengers team. The new Nick Fury is heading it up, and he is using memory implants to carry out the missions without his Avengers remembering. The missions also seem like they will be more volatile. Taskmaster should fit right in.
Wolverine and the X-Men #26
By: Jason Aaron, Ramon K. Perez
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Price: $3.99
The Lowdown: Wolverine is heading up a field trip to the Savage Land to get some of this troubled students into shape. Bad time for dear old brother, Dog Logan, to show up looking all Kraven the Hunter-ed up to kick little Jimmy’s (ahem Wolverine) ass all over the jungle. Oh by the way, I’m going to take some time to say SUCK IT to everyone who kept telling me Dog was Sabretooth.
