Comic book thread ON!

Don't read Nova or any of the space/universe set Marvel series. Not really sure I can jump in, I've got very little knowledge on it.

Anyway I thought this week was ace, next week (Marvel wise) looks like a snooze, there really isn't anything great.

I highly recommend finding Annihilation and Annhilation:Conquest. Both are great story arcs with the first setting up the Nova monthly comic and the second setting up the Guardians of the Galaxy monthly.

piratescratch on the Marvel comics for the week of October 1st.

Civil War: House of M #2 - Great follow up to the first issue for this new House of M mini series. Fair amount of action, nice story progression and solid art. Charles in the old school X-Men tights is quite a sight haha. Magneto gets pretty badass at the end with his threat. Looking forward to see how this all unfolds.

Well besides Civil War: House of M #2, there wasn't anything else for me. Slow week.

I second Nova btw. Great series. Always liked the character as part of the New Warriors but in Annihilation (one of the best crossovers ever) and then in his solo series, Nova's risen to new heights in my book. My memories of DnA were Force Works which is scary if you know what I mean but they've both smacked it out of the park with Guardians of the Galaxy and Nova.

My sister's car has been written off so I'm not even sure if I'll have a car next week for very much of it. On top of that, not likely to get out very much for this week's sale.

Do any comic lovers get depressed when they see the monthly sales charts? Each and every book constantly falls with the odd one in 100 rising marginally. It makes me very depressed for the future of comics. 15K to 30K circulation figures are not exactly a great global numbers.

I think it's a good thing. There is just too much f-grade crap on the shelves.
Less titles should mean higher quality art, script and effort.
