InvestComics Comic Hot Picks 8-27-08
Looks like JSA has a NEW villain to deal with, and his name is not Loki!
Amazing-Spider-Man # 569 First there was Venom, then Carnage and now Spidey will have a new thorn in his side and it’s name is Anti-Venom. Yes we know, not much of a name, but hey we’ve all heard worse. Marvel is not revealing whether or not Anti-V is a villain or a hero. Either way, this comic looks to be one of those must haves.
Skaar # 3 What more can be said about Skaar?! This comic is mucho caliente (very hot, for the non speaking Spanish community). Okay as if the hype machine isn’t big enough with this comic. Marvel says it has a shocking second story by the great Butch Guice himself. Buy this comic, buy this series, and buy it now!
Runaways # 1 This is the 3rd launch of this series, but this time we have Humberto Ramos taking the penciling duties and man does it look sweet. Bring the artistry of Ramos, a number one issue and Hollywoodtalking about this as a motion picture¦..nuff said.
Kickass # 4 Nicolas Cage just jumped on board the Hollywood/Comic Book gravy train once again. Set to start shooting in the fall in Canada, Kickass is going to do just that at the box office, kick ass. Issue #4 introduces us to Hit Girl. A nine year old that will turn this comic upside down. With the introduction here, Cage joining the fray and Matthew Vaughn directing, the Kickass series is good pick up. Did we mention that Vaughn has been tapped to direct some character named Thor!? Cool huh?!
Justice Society of America# 18 Geoff Johns has JSA on top of the reading charts for a reason. The guy knows how to write a good story. If judging a book only by its cover, JSA is in a world of trouble with the introduction of Magog. Not too keen on the name, but we’re not telling Magog that! Looking like a descendant from Asgard, this villain named Magog hopefully will stand on his own.
Other Comics To Watch For……..
Family Dynamic # 1 DC treats us to an all new team for kids.
Halloween 30th Anniversary Michael Myers as the boogieman for 30 years now?! WOW!
Wizard Magazine # 204 This month Wizard Magazine pays homage to a fallen hero in the comic industry. Michael Turner will be missed. Buy this Wizard and share in the memories of a man that inspired many. Godspeed Michael.
See you next week.
Invest wisely.
