Can't Wait for Wednesday

This week Marvel kicks off another crossover event with Annihilation, DC elects Oliver Queen mayor of Star City in Green Arrow #60, Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palimotti re-team for Painkiller Jane #1 and Image brings us what could be the best-looking book of the month with Tales of Colossus from Pixar animator Mark Andrews.

What I'm getting:

Conan #26: Featuring Tim Truman artwork ... I'm looking forward to his run on the book.

Batman: Year One Hundred #2: Continuing the awesome mini from Paul Pope!

DMZ #5: Our hero, Matty, starts to settle into war-torn Manhattan when his press credentials are stolen. I believe this is a stand alone issue, so if you haven't checked this series out yet, now's a good time.

Green Arrow #60: One year later, and Ollie has a new job.

Seven Soldiers: Bulleteer #4: This has probably been my favorite of the Seven Soldiers mini-series, though really I should probably go back and re-read them all before I judge. And I'm really looking forward to the big wrap-up next month in Seven Soldiers #1!

Teen Titans Annual #1: Marv Wolfman returns to the Titans, as Superboy and Wonder Girl get a little downtime in the middle of a little something called "Infinite Crisis." BTW, there's also an Infintie Crisis Secret Files out this week, which I'll probably thumb through at the shop to see if it's worth getting.

Atheist #3: It's been a really long time between issues, but the first two were crazy fun.

Tales of Colossus: Like I said, this looks really nice ... check out Mark Andrew's blog for more info and sample art.

Walking Dead #26: Youn can check out a few pages from this here ... last issue ended with a pretty cool cliffhanger.

Next Wave Director's Cut #1: In addition to reprinting the entire first issue, it also includes the complete script for issue 1, which I've seen ... it's pretty funny stuff.

Punisher vs. Bullseye #5: I bought the first issue on a whim and ended up enjoying this ... Steve Dillon's art looks great!

Runaways #14: Looks like dead isn't dead ...

Planetary Brigade #2
