A Quintet to Get - Matt's Picks on Wednesday 08/20/08
A quiet week this week; just five comics today, sequentially:
Air 1 -- by Wilson and Perker, two creators I'm unfamiliar with, an airline story of (apparantly) terrorist attacks, and romance: the previews in other Vertigo titles were attractive, so here's givin' this'n a look.
Conan 2 - more barbarianism, or, Cimmerianism, as Truman, Giorello and Corban, and Villarrubia carry on the chronological chronicalling of the big guy with a broadsword.
Anna Mercury 3 - Warren Ellis's maybe not human, maybe very human superspy; still in its opening chapters, at $4/per. Some very smooth art by Facundo Percio.
Brave and Bold 16 - promising some silliness (but Well-Written Silliness) between Superman and Catwoman, by Mark Waid with attractive art by Scott Kolins.
Spirit 20 - heh: does this title need further boosting? Last issue went beyond A+, went to 11, so this issue is probably only an A for top of the list entertainment...but maybe I'm wrong, and A+ will be the new A for Aragones, Evanier, Smith and Wong.
That's it, the five. What'd you get that I am missing?
best wishes,
Matt
