Weekly Purchases
A decent mix of books this week.
Monthly Comics
Captain America Theater of War: America First! – Howard Chaykin looks at the 1950’s Captain America and his fight against the “evil” communists. My only question is why they needed to use a fake Senator in McMurphy and not just use the real deal.
The Immortal Iron Fist #21 – I still haven’t caught up on my back issues of this series. I need to sit down and get to it.
The New Avengers #48 – A new team is formed as the search for Luke Cage’s baby begins with a shocking ending. What will a father do, what deals will he cut, to find his missing child?
New Warriors #19 – Trapped in the future the New Warriors team up with the “new” Night Thrasher to get to the only item that’ll get them back to the present.
Runaways #5 – The kids are on the run as they figure out a plan to take on their pursuers.
Secret Invasion: Requiem – Recounting the up and down history between Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne as told to Jacosta. With the debut of Hank Pym’s newest hero persona….
Thor #12 – Loki’s plans continue to come together as she seeks out Hela.
The Umbrella Academy: Dallas #2 – A great series just like the first volume. A great mix of humor, action, and mystery. Now where’d I put my thin mints.
Unknown Soldier #3 – A non-typical superhero comic looking at geo-politics and religion in Uganda. A fictional story set upon a very real situation. This is what comics should strive to be.
