Outland Comics Newsletter: Outcries!

No. 103, Week of September 10, 2007

Welcome to Outcries!  

Clif’s Pick of the Week: Wolverine #57. In my opinion, Marc Guggenheim is one of the better writers to have handled Wolverine in recent memory. His Civil War tie-ins where some of the best ones that came out (and it actually had something to do with the main story!) and with issue #57, we get the return of Guggenheim to the title. After a little stint over at DC (he killed off Bart Allen in Fastest Man Alive) he comes back and proves why he is meant to be on Wolverine. Nitty and gritty as he should be, we get Wolverine trying to stop a new terrorist group from killing Tony Stark, but only because he wants to do it himself. We get to see a Wolverine that isn't always shown, but always talked about and it certainly pays off.

Recommended Reads from last week: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #544 OMD (…off to a good start – and I always like to see Tony Stark get whipped…), BOYS #10 (MR) (…always good, always grittier than you expect!), DOKTOR SLEEPLESS #2 (MR), GREEN ARROW YEAR ONE #3 (OF 6), INFINITY INC #1 (…I hope this isn’t just about whiney kids who’ve lost their powers [that they got from trusting an evil man…], …that whole generational “entitlement”. We’ll see), METAL MEN #2 (OF 8) (…still good and getting better [even though some of it doesn’t make sense]), WOLVERINE #57 (…the way he was meant to be!), SHE-HULK 2 #21 (…never liked it …never made sense – but all is explained here! […sort of…the Rawhide Kid is still there…), and OUTSIDERS #50 (…OK…but “Carface”? …maybe I just expect too much).

Missed an issue – check with Clifton! We’re still able to get first printings of many of the titles you want!  And as always we’ve got the latest selection of Variant Covers, Trade Paperbacks, Graphic Novels and Hardcovers!
