What I’m Buying – April 8, 2009
Doom DeLuise:
• Batman Battle for the Cowl #2 – Like I’ve said before, I’m not really excited for this miniseries, and I doubt it will have any lasting impact on the Batman universe, but I’m still going to read it, because I want to know who Batman is. I’m weird like that, I guess.
• Green Lantern #39 – Part one of a new storyarc that introduces the Orange Lanterns, I can’t wait to read this sucker. I may be impatient for what’s coming up in a few months, but I’m still immensely entertained by each passing issue.
• Warlord #1 – I know absolutely nothing about this, but I’m going to buy it because it’s our Book of Doom for this week.
• War of Kings: Ascension #1 – I’m still trying to decide whether or not to pick this one up. I suppose I’ll decide in the shop, but it’s a light week (I’m starting to think that every week is a light week), so I might just go ahead and pick it up. I’m digging the series proper. May as well, right?
Jim Doom:
• Batman Battle for the Cowl #2 – I dislike #1 the more I think about it, but at least this is only 3 issues long.
• Green Lantern #39 – One of the few books I still recommend.
• The Warlord #1 – Book of Doom.
• Wolverine: Weapon X #1 – Maybe.
I picked up Warlord because, as an old Warlord reader, I was thrilled to find out Mike Grell was writing the new series. The verdict is still out for me (the first issue is mainly plot setup), but I’m interested in seeing where this story ends up going.
