For all of the curious people out there wondering what I like to read week to week here is a list of the titles I am going to be picking up for the week of 8/3/11:
01. Adventure Comics #529 DC
02. Batman: Arkham City #4 of 5 DC
03. Batman: Gates of Gotham #4 of 5 DC
04. DC Universe Online: Legends #13 DC
05. Flashpoint #4 of 5 DC
06. Flashpoint: Batman Knight of Vengeance # 3 of 3 DC
07. Flashpoint: Deathstroke and The Curse of The Ravager #3 of 3 DC
08. Flashpoint: Secret Seven #3 of 3 DC
09. Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint #3 of 3 DC
10. House of Mystery #40 Vertigo
11. Severed #1 Image
12. Superman #714 DC
This week marks the first round of Flashpoint minis come to end, and I'm eager to see where these stories go. If you haven't been reading Batman: Arkham City or Batman: Gates of Gotham you are missing out on some fantastic reads. The Arkham City mini series written by Paul Dini and drawn by Carlos D'Anda is a great setup for the Batman: Arkham City video game coming out in October; and yes I will have it pre-ordered. Scott Snyder has burst onto the comic book writing scene with some big titles and Gates of Gotham is a perfect example of his level of talent and you should be reading it. And he has a new independent venture through Image Comics called Severed #1, and on Ryan Higgins recommendation and Snyder's talent I'm giving it a try. And if you hadn't noticed no Marvel titles this week!
As usual I'll be talking comics on The Comic Conspiracy, and on the Geekbox Forums. Now get out there and enjoy some good old fashioned comic book reading.
