Is there a site that has upcoming comics release schedules on it? I've been going by the "pre-order by" dates on Forbidden Planet's website, but that led me to believe there'd be new Hawkeye this week, when it's not for another two weeks yet. :( My journey to Forbidden Planet wasn't wasted, though: I got...
Captain Marvel #9, since I'd heard it was a good jumping on point. I LOVED IT SO MUCH. My comics squee has been feeling a bit dented recently, thanks to DC (have I mentioned how bitter I am that "The Killing Joke" is still in continuity, but Oracle is not?) - I still love all the stuff I love, but somewhat defensively - but this issue restored it to me. Humour and heart are basically the two things I want out of anything I read, and this issue delivered in spades. I was a bit iffy on the art, but I loved it some of the time, and the rest of the time it was "not sure this is to my taste" rather than "oh help my eyes" or "good Lord, what are those things on her chest?", so that was ok. And I ADORE Carol. Even after only one issue, I am gnawing my knuckles at the ending and what its implications might be. I'm also crossing my fingers we get to keep Wendy as Carol's very own Pepper Potts. ♥ So... what should I read for MORE CAROL? The library has a few of the Ms Marvel trades, so I've reserved the first one of them (and the first Captain Marvel one!), but what else is good?
Saga #9: I'm not a huge fan of The Will, so this wasn't my favourite issue (and I'm sad that The Stalk isn't really back, because killing her off is a little fridgy), though I do love the Lying Cat. And Gwendolyn was pretty great: I really liked her take-no-prisoners attitude and the reveal that she's never actually killed anyone. I'd like to know more about her. I've been somewhat worried about the storyline with Slave Girl (she's going to get a name, right?), but Gwendolyn made some of the points I was worried about, which assuaged my fears a bit. In conclusion, Saga is awesome, even when it's not about my favourite characters.
