Week of 5th October 2011 - Tim and Oz's Picks

Only 4 picks for Oz this week:
Animal Man #2
Justice League International #2
Stormwatch #2
Swamp Thing #2

Tim, as always, has slightly more:
Action Comics #2 – First issue was good, but not great. It’s Grant Morrison, so I’ll give him another chance.

Animal Man #2 – Heck Yes.
Batwing #2 – The surprise package of the new 52.
Casanova: Avaritia #2 – What a mindwarp this series is. Love it.
Chew #21 – New arc of one of the best ongoings on the shelves.
House of Mystery #42 – The new status quo on this series is interesting and feels like the ‘good ol’ days’ of the book.
Invincible #83 – One of the best superhero comics on the shelves.
Mystic #3 – Wait, what? How did I miss issue 2?
The Rinse #2 – A surprise book from BOOM!. Great crime noir that feels like Brubaker and Phillip’s Criminal.

Severed #3 – an interesting story so far – I’m hooked.
Stormwatch #2 – First issue was good enough for a second go around.
Strange Talent of Luthor Strode #1 – The solicit seemed interesting – Young kid buys muscle gain product from the back of a comic book, and works way better than he expected…
Swamp Thing #2 – Love me some Swamp Thing.
Sweet Tooth #26 – If your not reading sweet Tooth, you’re missing out on one of the best series in comics.
Walking Dead #89 – It’s been a while between issues…
X-23 #15 – love this series.

X-Men Schism #5 – The end.

Trades:
Axe Cop: Bad Guy Earth – Genius. Pure 6-year-old genius.
Hark, A Vagrant – Kate Beaton’s amazing satirical web comic is collected for the first time by Drawn and Quarterly.
