Serenity: Better Days #1
Joss Whedon returns to the Firefly universe with this new three-issue series published by Dark Horse Comics. Along with co-writer Brett Matthews and artist Will Conrad, this series is another story of the loveable space cowboy crew. The events occur between the television series and the movie. The first miniseries, Those Left Behind, was very good and ties up loose strings from the TV series. I am curious to see where this one goes. $2.99.
Justice League International HC
I have to say, I really don't see the purpose of DC collecting this late 1980s, Justice League series in their new hardcover format. Don't get me wrong. It is a great series. Some of the funniest and most enjoyable comics that Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis have ever written (with beautiful art by Kevin Maguire). I just don't see much of a need for this in the market. Anyway...if you love funny Justice League stories and missed out on this series originally (this contains, "the punch."), then pick it up. It collects the first seven issues of the series for $24.99.
Last Defenders #1
Quite an interesting line up in Marvel Comics' new Defender title. This six-issue series boasts Colossus, She-Hulk, the Blazing Skull and Nighthawk. Joe Casey supplies the story with pencils by Jim Muniz. I think I'll get the trade paperback collection when it comes out and pass on the singles. $2.99.
Locke and Key #2
There has been a lot of talk on the blogosphere about IDW Publishing's newest comic, Locke & Key. The buzz may be because it is written by Stephen King's son, Joe Hill. Issue one was an exceptional tale that started with some young kids terrorizing a family. The book quickly changed gears as our lead characters move into their old family home and begin to unlock the mystical secrets that lie within. Gabriel Rodriguez's art is outsanding and truly conveys a sense of desolation and grief. $3.99.
