the next trade paperback review of the week should be...

[The Mighty King Cobra]

Batman Child of Dreams for those people who want a DC book reviewed!!

I don't know...  Any time somebody says "Review a book by this publisher", I have to wonder why.  I mean, sure, a character, an author, a favorite arc, but I don't know that I've ever read a comic that was made better by whose logo was on the cover.

I thought Marvel was the "House of Ideas"?

... They never said they were all good ideas though, right?

There are some folks that like DC because they use fictional cities and have more legacy heroes. I'm not one of them as I'm currently publisher agnostic, just speculating.

The DC remark was a joke.  Its not funny if I have to explain it.

[The Mighty King Cobra]

So, when is it funny? 

[zeb]

1. any of the Punisher Max, by Ennis, maybe Mother Russia.
2. more Hellblazer
3. Elektra: Assassin
4. Preacher: Alamo
5. Howard the Duck (the new Max one)
6. vol 2 of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
7. a special episode devoted to The Boys to commemorate the end of the series
8. Iron Fist Seven Capital Cities of Heaven (and the resultant Top Five Martial Arts Movies)

I'm sure it has been suggested already, but seeing as Locke & Key is starting it's final arc in November, I'd LOVE to hear the previous books get reviewed. I know some trades have been reviewed already, as have some individual issues as they came out, but it'd be cool to hear the Major Spoilers Crew's thoughts on the later books before the last book hits the stands...

1) Maybe a DP7 (Marvel New Universe) trade review?

2) Also, given the garbled end to "Elementals" by Bill Willingham, I heard that his "Pantheon" in Lone Star Press is where "Elementals" would have gone. Read the whole thing and I thought it was interesting. Pantheon is in trade format.

3) Any Malibu Comics line like "Jumpstart: The Strangers" trade.

Just some trades on the less beaten path that might be interesting to expose the MSP audience to.

Cheers,
Patrick

I really enjoyed the DP7 series. I second that suggestion.

Apparently Starbrand has a trade as well from the New Universe.

No trade for it but maybe a hero history on SpitFire and the Trouble Shooters.

Heck, now that I think about it a Hero History on Defiant Comics would be interesting (Dark Dominon, Dogs of War, etc)
