What to look for this week

So, now that I've written far too much about Batman, let's take a look at what else is coming out this week that you should be looking into.

Action Comics 868
Part... what, 3? of Geoff Johns introduction to the real Braniac, not just the robot/cyborg/whatever that has changed so many times in the past. If you haven't been reading Johns' run on Action Comics, just take a look at the past 2 issues in addition to this one. It's as good a starting place as any, though I do recommend going back and picking up the trades of his stuff with Richard Donner and his Legion story.

Astonishing X-Men 26
Really, I shouldn't have to try to convince you to pick this up. Warren Ellis. Simone Bianchi. X-Men. That should be enough. I don't really know what else to tell you, except that this has done an amazing job of establishing the X-Men in San Fransisco.

Captain Britain and the MI:13 4
So far this series has been amazing, and even though it has been tied into Secret Invasion, it is standing by itself amazingly well, hinging on lots of information familiar with the history of the Marvel UK characters, but being reader friendly as well. Also folks, everything in this series indicates that Wisdom is in canon. That's right, that means Shang-Chi fought a Welsh Dragon in a bar.

Firebreather 2
First issue? Superfun. I'm excited about this one, I just wish it didn't take so long to come out.

Green Lantern Corps 27
Damn this series is good. I'm really not that sure as to what the upcoming story is, but I've just been so impressed with Tomasi's work since taking over, that I'm confident whatever comes out will be great.

Last Defenders 6
The last issue of this mini, which will hopefully be continued *crosses fingers*. This series has been really fun, as the Defenders should be. And also filled with superhero fail, another characteristic of the Defenders, and appropriate for New Jersey's Initiative team.

Lone Ranger 12
What? Yeah, this book is good. Believe it. Buy it.

Punisher 60
This is the last issue of Ennis' run right? Let's all shed a tear for this amazing run on Punsiher.

Tiny Titans 7
See pretty much every previous post.

Transhuman 3
I am sad cause I missed the second issue of this. I have no idea what's going on. But the first issue was so fantastic, and everything else I've read by Hickman has fallen into that consistency, I'm hoping this will be good as well. Need to find that damn issue....

Walking Dead 51
But you're already reading this, right? Just a reminder.

Zorro 6
Last issue of the origin of Zorro (written by Matt Wagner). This is another one of those surprisingly good series that Dynamite has put out that I looked into on a whim.

Things to look out for: Final Crisis: Revelations, Gen13 21, Golly, Secret Invasion: Inhumans, Secret Invasion: Thor, Secret Invasion: X-Men.
