HOW MUCH MONEY WILL I SPEND ON COMICS THIS WEEK? JANUARY 29TH 2014

OH DEAR GOD, IT'S ANNUALS WEEK. WALLET RIP, DICK GRAYSON IS TAKING OVER.

Batman and Robin Annual #2: I love me some Doug Mahnke art, also it's a cool Dick Grayson Robin story. I got a feeling this one is going to either be really good, or at least hit me in the feels. Mike McKone's cover is really good as well, and i'm quite excited to see more of his work on Justice League United.

Black Science #3: SCIENCE BITCH. This series has been pretty enjoyable so far. Remender has been on quite a roll as of late, and i'm excited to see what is coming up next with Black Science. Matteo Scalera has beautiful artwork that i look forward to every issue. He always lets me know what characters are good, and which ones are evil using crazy ass facial expressions.

Damian: Son of Batman #4 (of 4): Good riddance to shitty books. At least the art is really nice. That is about the only thing to look forward for this book. Stick to art Mr. Kubert.

Earth 2 Annual #2: BATMAN ORIGINS. CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THOSE! But this is a different Batman! Earth 2 Batman, who may or may not be Thomas Wayne. Either way, Tom Taylor is the fucking man and Earth 2 has maintained it's quality even after the departure of James Robinson. It's nice to get another annual considering how short the regular issues seem to be.

Green Lantern Corps Annual #2: Durlans? Cylons? Clayface? Sodam Yat? Can we have Sodam Yat back? Not sure what to think of this issue. I guess that means i'll have to read it and find out!

Guardians of the Galaxy #11.NOW: Part 2 of Trial of Jean Grey. This crossover has a lot of potential. Hopefuly Bendis doesn't pull a Bendis and make it a pointless and boring snore fest (See: AvX, Age of Ultron, Battle of the Atom). I'm mainly reading Guardians now for that Symbiote home planet storyline that's coming up, and i'm reading All New X-Men so i can read Guardians. Curses.

Miracleman #2: I never got the chance to read Miracleman (like many others) until Marvel starting re-releasing it this year. After reading #1, I now understand all the buzz and praise this series gets. I was completely blown away by Miracleman #1, and i'm really excited to read #2! It's true when they say that [The Original Writer] can't write a bad book!

Red Lanterns #27: The best Lantern book PERIOD. Next to Green Arrow, Red Lanterns is one of the biggest turn-around books in the New 52. The Red Lanterns are like this rad cosmic biker gang, and Guy Gardner is a member so they are automatically 100% better. I'm excited for the shifted focus back to Earth (something the Lantern books have been lacking for a while) and for Supergirl to pop up next issue! Charles Soule is a fucking machine.

Saga #18: I don't need to say anything here, but LOOK AT THAT FUCKING COVER MAN. LYING CAT 4 LYFE. BKV can do no wrong in my books. Saga is going on break again, so i'm going to be sad for a nice few months.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #30: TMNT is such an excellent, and yet often overlooked series by many comic review sites. City Fall got me on the Turtle ship, and now i'm sticking with the Turtles. The art on this arc is a bit of a drop from the City Fall stuff, but Santolouco is back on the title after this North Hampton arc. This arc is a little short on the action side, but it is entertaining none the less.

Dear Comic People, I'm still waiting on a Samurai Pizza Cats ongoing.

The Superior Spider-Man #26: Alas poor SpOck, we hardly knew him. Peter is coming back, but SpOck's adventures were so good! Hopefully Dan Slott and friends send him out on a high note. Goblin Nation starts next month, and it's going to be cool to try and guess how Peter is going to come back. SpOck's confrontation with the Avengers will no doubt be rad.

Come back this weekend when i give my thoughts on these issues and possibly more! Be good to each other!
