Not a lot coming out tomorrow that I follow, but the couple things that are being released are pretty dope. Or chill. Or...yeah.
Ghost Rider #11 - This title has been teetering on my "stop reading" list for months, but every month it keeps me on board with fun action and awesome art. And really, I don't think there's ever been a Ghost Rider title that was very good, so the fact that this is at least readable every month is pretty awesome. This one is pretty fun, and in this issue Ghost Rider fights an undead Jack-O-Lantern, this pumpkin-headed villain guy that the Punisher killed a while back. Should be good.
Punisher War Journal #7 - Speaking of the Punisher, this series is pretty kick-ass! Garth Ennis writes a series called "The Punisher" for Marvel which pits the Punisher against real-life foes like terrorists and slavers, but this one has Punny fighting ridiculous Marvel c-list villains like Stilt-Man and Shocker! The way Matt Fraction writes the Punisher is very similar to Ennis', but it's awesome that we get to see this bad-ass vigilante fight real-life assholes in one title and ridiculous jerks in costumes in another! I'm all for it, and someday I want to be the Punisher. Is that weird?
Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four #2 - This is a fun little miniseries that takes place outside of Marvel continuity, where Spider-Man is all depressed and "back in black" and The Fantastic Four broke up. No, here we get a classic Spidey and a classic Four fighting a bunch of aliens bent on destroying the world. The setting is contemporary but the writing has an awesome old-school feel (it's written by Paul Jenkins, who also wrote the fantastic Agents of ATLAS mini last year)and it's only four issues, so why not?
Green Lantern Corps #12 - One of my FAVORITE books right now! And it's totally underrated! This book is totally fun and is basically like "Law and Order" in space! The book follows six or seven different Green Lanterns on different adventures, and although it jumps from story to story several times an issue it never feels choppy. Dave Gibbons, the dude that drew Watchmen, writes this and proves that he can do TWO things, which I find impressive (I can only do one thing well and it's being naked).
Countdown #51 - The next huge DC thing starts tomorrow! I think they're gonna kill Jimmy Olsen, which normally I wouldn't approve of, but Paul Dini can do whatever he wants.
This is where Timmy Williams blathers on and on about comic books, science fiction, movies, TV shows, and other silly stuff. If you're looking for funny stories about chickens, check his other blog. If you're here to get nerdy, strap on your galoshes and let's wade through the manure that is pop culture minutiae.
