New Books for 6/25/08

Whoa.

Huge week this week. Final Crisis, Green Lantern, Conan the Cimmerian, Runaways, Ultimates 3, Iron Fist (Brubaker & Fractions last), Captain America and a new Thor: Ages Of Thunder story called Reign of Blood. My pick of the week goes to Mythos: Captain America. The "mythos" line by Marvel, retells (and retcons a bit) the origins of some companies biggest and best heroes. All the art duties have fallen on Paulo Rivera, an amazing painter, and so far he has handled the Hulk, Spider-Man and the FF4 with amazing skill. I was able to look at the finished pages at the New York Comic Con earlier this year and Paulo told me that the Captain America one is the one he was most proud of. "I told them either give me more time to finish the book the way I want or I dont do it." Thankfully Marvel listened to him. Make sure to check it out.

In the trade department we finally see the arrival of the long awaited eighth volume of the Walking Dead. [Insert joke here about how you thought you would be dead by the time this came out]. This took forever, but I am just as interested as always to see what Robert Kirkman will do. Also All-Star Batman & Robin gets the hardcover treatment this week. Check it out if you want to laugh at Batman and Frank Miller while you drool over amazing Jim Lee artwork. I will most likely be shelling out the dollars for the Green Lantern: Tales of the Sinestro Corps HC to add to my ever growing collection of Green Lantern books. Aaaand, if you've never read Ex Machina, check out the nice hardcover collection coming out this week and get caught up in style.

Enjoy this week, its a killa'!
