Weekly Stack – 5/6/09

Managed to resist a few things this week, including a new New Mutants series. And some of these are one-shots, so at least I won’t feel a need to pick up issue #2. Hence the term “one-shot.”

Flash - RebirthDad’s stack:

Batman Battle For The Cowl The Network #1: once again I succumb to the Bat.
Flash Rebirth #2: They brought Barry Allen back to life. Or maybe he wasn’t really dead, just one with the Speed Force. I don’t know. It’s an OK series so far.
Jersey Gods #4: This is starting to drag a little bit. Hopefully it will pick up.
Deadpool Vol 3 #10: Still liking this.
Fin Fang Four Return #1: This will probably be ridiculous but I couldn’t help myself.
Human Torch Comics #1 70th Anniversary Special: So far all of these “70th Anniversary” books have been good.
Invincible Iron Man #13: Not sure where this is going. I wasn’t a fan of the “Tony Stark is going to blow his brains out so Norman Osbourne doesn’t have access to the secret identities of every hero in the Marvel Universe” plotline.
War Of Kings #3: So far, so good. Very “Star Wars”-esque, in a good way.
Boys #30: The last issue had an actual surprise ending, I didn’t see it coming. Which is really rare.

Son’s stack:

Archie Pals N Gals Double Digest #131
X-Men First Class Finals #4
Supergirl Cosmic Adventures In The Eighth Grade #6: Bummer that this is ending after 6 issues, the kid liked it. DC seems to have trouble selling their youngster titles. I think part of the problem is re-inventing the wheel all the time. ‘Tiny Titans‘, which is a hit, constantly references the regular DCU, and it works. As dumb as this sounds, it adds a certain depth to the characters. With this ‘Supergirl’ series, they basically made a whole new character that didn’t have much to do with the “real” Supergirl.

13 Books Total

Verdict: Better. It would have been 12 but I bought both ‘Boys’ covers. Which is silly, I know. But for some reason I like collecting those. Still, four fewer than last week.
