Comic Book Day!

A big haul for your pal Chuck today:

- The Mighty Avengers #23 - My last issue of this title. The art and story are just OK.

- The New Avengers #51 - Some big surprises here, although I'm not crazy about the idea of Dr. Strange not being the Sorcerer Supreme anymore.

- Captain America #48 - Not bad at all - and issue #600 is right around the corner.

- Conan the Cimmerian #9 - This continues to be darned good.

- Daredevil #117 - Same here - sorry to hear that Brubaker is giving it up soon.

- Elektra #1 (of 5) - Picked up mostly to see what happened to her during and after Secret Invasion. So far, I'm not impressed.

- Fantastic Four #565 - Great art, but the story, not so great.

- The Incredible Hercules #127 - This continues to be amazingly entertaining.

- The Incredibles #1 - Love the movie, hate the cover. There are four different ones - put 'em together to see the whole picture. No thanks.

- Justice League of America #31
- The League breaks up? That trick never works.

- The Muppet Show Comic Book #1 - That's right, the Muppets. Wanna make something of it?

- The Amazing Spider-Man #589 - 11 issues to go.

- Trinity #43 - 9 issues to go.

- The Umbrella Academy: Dallas #5 - Both good and surprising (which is also good).

- Wolverine Saga
- a free giveaway which serves to illustrate just how screwed up Logan's story has become. He was much more interesting when his past was mysterious. Now it's all spelled out in detail. Boring!

- X-Infernus #4 (of 4)
- So far, a fun throwback X-Men story.

(By the way, my apologies for neglecting to post my "this is what I bought this week" entry last week - what can I say, it was a crazy day. But the only issues I bought were the six I reviewed last week, so there you go.)

How was that Muppet Show comic, anyhow?

Actually, it was very good. It really "felt" like an episode of the original Muppet Show (minus the sound and movement, of course). I thought the art captured the feel of the characters really well, and the comic had the energy of the show down pat. All in all, a darn good comic.
