Here’s the week in comics.

Monthly Purchases

Astonishing X-Men: Ghost Boxes #1 – An interesting read spinning out of the current Astonishing X-Men storyline.  Felt called in though.

Avengers: The Initiative #18 – One of the stand out side series of Secret Invasion.  This issue doesn’t disappoint as more Skrulls are revealed across the fifty states.

Captain America: Theater of War – A World War II flashback story of Captain America fighting Nazi UFO’s.

DC Universe: Decisions #4 – A story written to remind us heroes serve those we elect.

Final Crisis: Rage of the Red Lanterns – The lead up to the Darkest Night continues as the Red Lanterns enter the picture.

Hellboy: In the Chapel of Moloch – A fun read, just right for Halloween.

The Immortal Iron Fist #19 – Waiting to finish the back issues I have built up.

Secret Invasion: Thor #3 – Thor kicks Skrull butt.

Secret Invasion: X-Men #3 – A weapon to defeat the Skrull is discovered but how far will they go to achieve it?

Thor #11 – Thor gives the world a moment of silence for the year anniversary of Captain America’s death.  Life and death are explored in a late but truly fantastic issue.

X-Force #8 – A much improved issue over the previous 7.  Much like Young X-Men this series looks to be getting it’s footing.

Graphic Novels

Batman: The Killing Joke – One of the greatest Joker stories ever told.
