This week the pick seems to be a no-brainer.  Marvel releases it’s pseudo Captain America reboot/relaunch with Ed Brubaker‘s Captain America #1.  His run with the character has been damn near flawless and is easily one of the best ever with the character.  This issue also sees Steve Rogers returning to the role of the living embodiment of the US and all it’s ideals.

  1. Captain America #1 – see above
  2. Flashpoint tie-ins – DC’s event has really invigorated the entire universe and in this other world setting there’s been very few issues that haven’t stood up.  Well worth the purchase.
  3. X-Men: Schism #1 – The big “X” shake up is here and after many months of lead up, we finally get to see what it’s all about and if Marvel can win back the summer event with this.
  4. Lady Mechanika #2 – It’s been too long since the first issue’s release, but I did love it alot.
  5. Mystery Men #3 – The Twelve is no where in site, so I’ll take what I can get in this series that seems to evoke a similar feel to it.

While folks seem like they’re having a great time at WonderCon, I spent all of 30 minutes at synDCon and had to leave.  My thoughts about the show will be up Monday, but let me quickly say, jesus…  On that note, I had an all “geek” day Saturday stopping at a Toys R Us and grabbing a few things then a trip to the geek shop of the moment for me, Victory Comics.  All of that was followed up with reading comics and checking out my purchases.  Here’s the news that I missed as I was running around.
