With the week before last being a huge pick up and last week being a light one, we decided to skip our usual trip to Keith’s Komix last week. This week’s pull was pretty light too. Despite having two weeks worth of comic books waiting for us, it really wasn’t all that much. On a sad note, DEADPOOL TEAM-UP has ended with issue 883. This sucks. I really enjoyed the series because all the stories contained within one issue were well written and a good break from the normal ’3-4-5+’ issue style story arcs that are more common these days. I’ll miss those single issue stories of off-the-wall team-ups that only DeadPool could pull off as well as the fantastic art! I’m hoping the series will make a comeback someday. Maybe when the DeadPool movie comes out, Marvel will bring it back instead of doing crap movie tie-ins. It would only make sense. But then again, this is Marvel Comics we’re talking about.

This week we have:

• BATMAN BEYOND #4
• BRIGHTEST DAY # 23
• CHARISMAGIC #1
• DEADPOOL TEAM-UP #883
• DETECTIVE COMICS #875
• GREEN ARROW #10
• JSA ALL-STARS #17
• JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #49
• OZMA OF OZ #5
• TEEN TITANS #93
• X-23 #8

MY PICK OF THE WEEK: BRIGHTEST DAY #23

Written by GEOFF JOHNS and PETER J. TOMASI; Art by IVAN REIS, PAT GLEASON, ARDIAN SYAF, SCOTT CLARK and JOE PRADO; Cover by GARY FRANK; 1:10 Variant Covers by IVAN REIS

It’s the beginning of the end as we head toward the epic conclusion to BRIGHTEST DAY! The mystery of the heroes’ return and the secrets of the white forest are revealed! Plus, Captain Boomerang draws closer to completing his mission! And at last, it’s Firestorm vs. Deadman!

SERENA’S PICK OF THE WEEK: CHARISMAGIC #1

Everything you thought you knew about magic will… Vanish.

Journey into a world where the lines between magic and reality are blurred… And where one man will soon find himself as the last remaining hope for all mankind.

In Las Vegas, luck is everything. For Sin City’s leading ‘entertainer,’ Hank the Magnificent, his luck as Vegas’ most illustrious and famous magician is about to run out! When the powers of an ancient magic once imprisoned in another realm spring forth into our reality searching for revenge at all costs, Hank soon finds himself at the center of an undying war between the forces of truth and a devastating plague of growing evil-and his hopes for survival are slim at best! Creatures of magic and myth, wizards and sorcerers, druids, witches, and beasts of legend fill the pages of Aspen’s all-new action-adventure series!

Created and written by Aspen’s own Vince Hernandez, with art by Khary Randolph and Emilio Lopez, this premiere #1 issue will open your eyes to the exciting new world of CHARISMAGIC!

After a two week break from Monsterpocalypse, I was itching to get in a game with Sid. I pretty much left strategy at home as my Terrasaurs got smacked down by Sid’s Elemental army. The game was still fun though and can’t wait to play next week!

HAPPY READING!
