This Week’s New Releases and Recommendations

I was so sick this week that not only could I not write this post on time, but I couldn't even read comics while I was in bed. Now that's sick. Reading comics while you are sick is a right of poor health. In fact, it's how a surprising amount of people first started reading comics...when they were laid-up sick. True story. Now please excuse me while I cough up my other lung.

PREDATOR OMNIBUS VOL 1 TP

By now you should know that the word "omnibus" gets a book an automatic recommendation in this space. Or maybe you shouldn't know that...or should you?

OUTSIDERS FIVE OF A KIND WEEK 1 NIGHTWING BOOMERANG

Usually five Wednesdays in a month means one week of slim pickings for new comics. DC was nice enough to give us a weekly event in the form of the formation of the new Outsiders team. I'm aware I just typed "form of the formation." I'm trying to work more alliteration into these recommendations. Awesome amounts of alliteration.

WORLD WAR HULK #3

Just two words for this one: Hell Yeah. The good just keeps getting better with this one.

PUNISHER #50

I'll recommend every issue of Garth Ennis Punisher, but this one stands to be a real keeper. Don't say we didn't warn you.

TWISTED TOYFARE 10TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION TP

My favorite Spider-Man to read every month isn't in any comic, but in the pages of Twisted Toyfare Theater. Huh? 10th Anniversary Collection? I am getting soooooo old. Guh.
