The final part of my thoughts on the comic books I bought on 23 September, which contained my haul for the previous three weeks combined. Only two books remain Books that I bought and that actually came out on 23 September 2010: Fables #98 In which Red Rose steps up…
Part two of my thoughts on the comics I bought on 23 September, in which I purchased three weeks' worth of comic books. After adding Morning Glories to my pull list at Gosh!, I was expecting to have issue #2 waiting for me because it was supposed to have come…
I'm trying to catch up on my thoughts on my weekly comic book buying – and then I don't buy my comic books for several weeks. For various reasons, I wasn't able to make it to the comic shop to pick up my books (including illness, as I mentioned). When…
Batman Confidential #17–21 by Fabian Nicieza and Kevin Maguire I was tempted to label the writer as 'Author Not Important', which is not a slight on Nicieza's abilities but because the reason to read this book is the wonderful art of Kevin Maguire. His rendering – detailed but with strong…

Fallen Angel #1–21 by Peter David and various artists I don't know why my local library would have a 466-page brick of independent comic books, but I had to borrow it when I saw it sitting there on the shelf. At the very least it will let them know there…
Siege: The Cabal (drawn by Michael Lark) and Siege #1–4 (drawn by Olivier Coipel), written by Brian Michael Bendis Reading this collection really brought home the odd aspect of reading a lot of contributing series in trade paperback form. I read New Avengers, Dark Avengers, Captain America, Iron Man and…
Dark Reign: Zodiac #1–3 by Joe Casey and Nathan Fox In the basement of the lovely comic shop Gosh!, you can still find lots of cheap collections of various comic books, and the three issues of Dark Reign: Zodiac were there for £2. Seeing as a $2.99 comic book costs…
