First Glance Review

I came in early today to get a quick look at the new stuff before work. Thought I'd ass on a superquick review for anyone who might be sitting at work and bored enough to check the blog coming in.

American Virgin #6...I'm digging this series. I don't know where the hell its headed, but its unique premise has kept me interested. The new issue has Adam back in the states and speaking at a religious convention.

Battlestar Galactica #1...who cares? Love the show.

Hulk Mythos #1...another retelling of the Hulk origins. But with really gorgeous painted art by Paola Rivera

Snakes on a Plane #1...Nick Fury vs Snakes on a plane!

Ultimate Fantastic Four #33...Pasqual Ferry takes over the art with a new story arc about stranded aliens. Fantastic art.

All-Star Superman #5...the only comic I had to read cover to cover. Luthor gives Clark Kent a grand tour of Stryker's Island prison. Morrison packs more goods into an issue than most writers can a mini series.

And on the book rack,

The 9/11 Comission report...uhh...check it out for yourself. If you don't buy it, you're not an American.

Whacha Mean Whatsa Zine?...anthology about the whole zine making process from some of the biggest zinesters, includes Dan Zetwoch's tips for a successful trip to the post office.

Captain Amazing...superhero farce from the PVP creators. Dan likes.

And finally, Stan Lee's Amazing Marvel Tales...ohhh, Stan Lee. This walk through Marvel memory lane features audio clips (yep) of Stan Lee tellin it like it is. or was. or whatever. You can even try it out before you buy. Which means if someone doesn't buy them all in the next few days, we'll all go insane.
