Outland Comics Newsletter: Outcries!
No. 52, Week of August 28, 2006
Welcome to another issue of Outcries! It’s another great week for new comics! Clif’s “Pick of the Week” got us thinking about the significance of what’s going on now with the Justice League – Batman (yes, he comes first – it’s alphabetical), Superman and Wonder Woman are meeting to vote on who should be in the latest version of the JLA – so why don’t we put all JLA Back Issues on sale so that you can catch up on just who some of these “new” team members are and – wait a minute – why are they looking for new members in the first place?
Plus, there’s more Civil War (well, maybe not too much), the Trials of Shazam! #1 begins, Doc Frankenstein appears once again, the much hyped Battlestar Galactica #1 arrives, as well as the Furious Fist of Drunken Monkey Origin Species!
We’ve gotten our first “guest recommended read” this week from former Idaho resident now Nevada resident Scott Allen. Hail the power of the internet! Scott stepped up to the plate when we said “we want to hear from you!” Scott also says he “loves Outcries”! Who could ask for more?
I’ll just give a little “recommended read” myself and then sign off – Batman #656 – Grant Morrison is really taking this character places – and there’s a little surprise in this issue that I never saw coming! And Andy Kubert’s art throughout – particularly the parts with Batman taking on more than a few ninja-Man Bats – Wow!
We want to hear from you! – Have a comment or suggestion you’d like to share with the Outland Comics staff? Do our hours suit your schedule? Want to submit your own “Recommended Read”? What would you like more of? Let us know! Just e-mail us at: outland@netscape.com”
Have a great week!
Recommended Reads! What’s the Outland Staff reading?
Clif’s Pick of the Week: Justice League of America #1. There were some pretty good books this week, but Justice League trumped them all. The anticipation has been building in the DC geek world since the league broke up in JLA #125, and we still don’t get to see who’s on the team! Okay, not all the way true. We see who will be the team, but no team is brought together…yet. And that’s what I liked. I was expecting the clichéd team pose at the end of the issue, and instead I’m left hoping the team actually gets together because members are gonna start needing some help. A great start to what could possibly be the best superhero book in the DC Universe.
Guest Recommended Read – from Scott Allen: Green Lantern #12. Holy, Holy, Holy! This issue has everything and I'm sure it’s only going to get better. Do you love seeing Hal Jordan beat down and about to lose the battle. Would you like to see all the former Green Lanterns supposedly killed by Jordan setting up for revenge? And who could say no to the robot Superman with all the Green Lantern rings. Great storytelling and great artwork – Loved each and every panel!
