Sorry for being gone last week folks but I had good reason . I was busy so there actually I really was busy and that’s too bad because there was some good stuff last week and I wanted to ramble but instead that info is wedged in my head like a splinter that just doesn’t go away.

Coming 6/20/12

Higher Earth #2 #3.99

http://www.comixology.com/Higher-Earth-2/digital-comic/APR120920

I talked about this first issue which I really liked even though there was some holes , but I am really hoping this one starts to fill in because it’s a cool premise and I willing will shell out my $4 for at least this second issue than we will see where we stand. This issue sounds like it’s the car chase scene and I am down for that.

Avengers vs X-Men #6 Infinite $1.99 (if you redeem the code that came with AvX print #6 you get infinite free just like the first one)

This is a book I am reading more because of self abuse and curiosity than enjoyment but that just makes me like most comic buyers right? The caveat though ;because all comic kids have to justify , is that the first Infinite book was great and created specifically for digital format so if you are reading this one in print give it a try because I am hoping it holds up like the other one.

Pick of the week for 6/13

Spidermen #1 $3.99

Written by: Brian Michael Bendis

I have no Spidey books I read on the reg, and unlike most Ultimate books I didn’t like Spiderman so I decided to give this one a chance. The premise is Peter and Miles worlds intersect and they eventually fight together. This book was written extremely well and tight in my opinion which isn’t always the case for me when it comes to Bendis.

The only things that concerns me is Miles isn’t really a part of the first issue so I still might not like him as the book progresses but it’s a fiver parter and satiates my Spiderman needs so I’m on board and I think you should be too especially since the art works real well digitally. We are getting to the point that books aren’t necessarily made for digital format but it is something considered which is great.

I am not doing any quick hits this week because nothing stands out that needs a long ramble . I will say though check out Ultimate X=Men 13, and Batman Arkham City Endgame which is on #5 this week and has been a great Joker story. Also a reminder Transformers Autocracy ends this week and I just read it and I know have to go change my shorts so hit me up on Twitter @Lunchbox700, and listen to the pod this week because John sucks less and less as time goes on.

I’m back kiddies even busier than before . Crap wait I think I did that time off wrong well too late now because here I am take it or leave it. I haven’t gotten overboard on books the last two weeks but have been getting some quality stuff so that’s what matters right.

Coming 06/06/12

Double Barrel #1 $1.99

http://www.comixology.com/Double-Barrel-1/digital-comic/DIG001508

Why this book well it’s pretty simple and at this point you should know why I want . It’s 120 pages for two bucks of course I am buying it. This is two separate stories One about a washed up high school football star (better be an Al Bundy reference or I’m gonna fricken rage) who finds a portal to the underworld, and another story that is a follow up to Far Arden . I’m interested in the size and I like anything that bucks the normal formula and honestly all comic fans should too.

Pick of the week:

Batman: Arkham City: End Game #1+2 $0.99 a piece

Written by: Derek Fridolfs

Art by: Patrick Gleason (covers) , Jason Shawn Alexander

http://www.comixology.com/Batman-Arkham-City-End-Game-2/digital-comic/DIG001463

This a little bit of a cheat because it spans two weeks but if you are a Batman fan you should read this short series (6 issues) . The premise is it bridges the gap between the Arkham City game and the new Harley Quin Dlc that just cam out. Honestly though you should read this digital only book even if you didn’t play that game. It offers a different plot line and the art is very cool and different. All you really need to know is Joker is dead and you are good to go, because Batshit crazy follows (pun intended ) . I’m in love and only $6 for the run it’s perfect for me and hold little risk if you like the Bat’s.

Quick Hit:

Ultimate: Ultimates #11 $3.99

Written by : Jonathan Hickman, Sam Humphries

Art by : Butch Guice , Leaonard Kirk , Luke Ross , Patrick Zircher

http://www.comixology.com/Ultimate-Comics-Ultimates-11/digital-comic/MAR120562

I have talked a bit about this book before , but here we are again and I want you to walk away with one thought. BUY THIS BOOK. Especially if you are reading a certain other team up, battle book and am a little disenchanted . This is what you need to know the US launched a nuke at the Children , and it didn’t work ( BALLS is all I have to say about that ) so now we overreact and disband and lock up S.H.I.E.L.D. and hope the Children aren’t to mad . Well Tony and Thor have other ideas and we get some cool drama . This book is near perfect good art, good writing, cool characters, and the story makes sense and you care.

I really don’t have much else to discuss from the week I didn’t was real meh on America’s got Powers but I’m still in it just might not have been an issue I wanted it to be . Also a reminder Hoax Hunters #1 comes out next month and if you have a chance you should get it. I have read a review copy of this and its awesome and I hope people read it because I’m real glad it got picked up.

Thanks again kids , and don’t forget to check out the podcast and hit me up on Twitter @Lunchbox700
