This Week In Comics: 03/14/2007

[Clayface]

Welcome to This Week in Comics for March 14th, 2007 - March 20th, 2007!

This is the place to discuss the comics you've bought this week, whether it be a brand new title or old back-issues. We also welcome and encourage talk about comics in general - news you've read on comic news sites, the state of the industry in general, upcoming issues you're excited about, etc. All we ask is that you please use spoiler brackets in the event that your comments get too detailed concerning a particular storyline. This way the book won't be ruined for anyone who hasn't read it yet.

For a list of the new items shipping this week, please consult Diamond Comics' Shipping List.

To find a comic book store near you, check out the Comic Shop Locator Service.

2 out of 3 moderators agree:

"Spider-Man: Reign #4" is a good "Pick of the Week".



You know, I'm still waiting for the day when all 3 of us make the same "Pick of the Week".

I'll be updating this post as I read.

JAN070275 52 WEEK #45 - The plotting in this series is nothing short of phenomenal. It's great to see the Black Adam / Four Horsemen / Intergang plot threads all come together. I'll be honest, I thought this book was going to be another poorly written editorially mandated promotional stunt like Infinite Crisis, but I've been surprised at the quality of this book. I can't believe it comes out on time every week.

DEC060298 FABLES #58 (MR) - As usual, great story.

JAN070346 GEN 13 #6

JAN070289 GREEN ARROW #72

JAN070263 ROBIN #160

DEC060249 TEEN TITANS #44 - Thank God they retconned the story of what happened to Batgirl / Cassandra Cain in Robin. It never should have happened in the first place, but I'm glad that they have fixed the mistake. Also, Jericho stabbing Slade was an amusing homage to the "Judas Contract" storyline. I'll be sad to see Geoff Johns leave this book, especially after the post-OYL increase in quality.

JAN072372 FRANKLIN RICHARDS MARCH MADNESS

JAN072380 IRREDEEMABLE ANT-MAN #6

Note that I don't think that Robin and Green Arrow are currently worth purchasing, but I am skimming them to keep up.

My "pick of the week" would probably be Irredeemable Ant-Man.
