Batman Incorporated #10
By: Grant Morrison, Chris Burnham
Publisher: DC Comics
Price: $2.99
The Lowdown: Batman Inc ends with issue 12. I’m willing to bet that every single Batman Inc issue from now until the end will definitely make this list.
I Vampire #19
By: Joshua Hale Fialkov, Scott Clark, Andrea Sorrentino
Publisher: DC Comics
Price: $2.99
The Lowdown: This is the final issue, and that is coming as a surprise to me. When the new 52 first started, I, Vampire was a surprisingly awesome book. I thought it was just going to be another Twilight style story. Unfortunately ever since they made the main character into a bad guy, its kind of been boring so at the same time I’m not surprised. Hopefully, Andrew Bennet finds some action in another book.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #21
By: Tom Waltz, Kevin Eastman
Publisher: IDW Publishing
Price: $3.99
The Lowdown: Co-creator of the Turtles, Kevin Eastman, returns to illustrate this special issue which opens the next chapter to the new Turtle saga.
East Of West #2
By: Jonathan Hickman, Nick Dragotta
Publisher: Image Comics
Price: $3.50
The Lowdown: The first issue of East of West was so awesome. It is a trippy and supernatural look at the end of the world with an Old West bend to it.
Jupiter’s Legacy #1
By: Mark Millar, Frank Quitely
Publisher: Image Comics
Price: $2.99
The Lowdown: I am not the biggest fan of Mark Millar. I get that he has a really interesting take on the superhero genre but often times it comes off as “shock for shock’s sense.” But he has a following, so I wanted to give a nod to this debut issue that twists the idea of the children of superheroes.
Avengers #10
By: Jonathan Hickman, Mike Deodato, Dustin Weaver
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Price: $3.99
The Lowdown: Everyone probably knows about Alpha Flight, the Canadian superhero team, or at the very least has heard of them. There was a sister group at one point after the death of the team sometime after M-Day that was called Omega Flight. I figured it would disappear soon after but apparently not. They are making a comeback in this issue of the Avengers.
Gambit #11
By: James Asmus, Clay Mann
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Price: $2.99
The Lowdown: I haven’t been really paying attention to this Gambit series. I was looking forward to it at first because I thought it was going to be Marvel Knight style like the new Hawkeye. Not the case. This issue though finds Rogue getting tangled in Gambit’s on-goings.
Guardians of the Galaxy #2
By: Brian Michael Bendis, Steve McNiven
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Price: $3.99
The Lowdown: I liked the first issue quite a bit. The only real problem was it was more about Star-Lord and less about the Guardians. I am looking forward of seeing more of the other teammates.
