What you should buy-4/24/13

Not a huge week this week, but still some good stuff. BUT, the biggest news comes AFTER Wednesday, right Chicago?!?!?!?!?!

Superman Family Adventures #12: Sadly, the last issue. This has been one of my favorite Superman books ever!! Thanks for everything, Art & Franco!!

Flash #19: I got two words for ya...............REVERSE FLASH!!!!

GI Joe #3: You'll buy this because it's good. VERY good. SUPER good. And then you'll go see GI Joe Retaliation!

All Star Western #19: Can't tell you why, but the surprise guest is BOOSTERRIFIC!!!

KISS Starchild: Read this and you'll rock and roll all night and party everyday (individual results may vary) !!!!

Guardians of the Galaxy #2: This book is awesome!!! Buy it!!

Yes, comics are awesome. BUT, the real awesomeness comes Friday, Saturday and Sunday when C2E2 starts!!!

I'll be at the Challengers Comics booth (Booth #333) every day of the show, so stop by and say hi! I mean it!!! And would it kill you to bring me a diet coke? I'm stranded at the booth!!!!!!

What I thought of...Guardians of the Galaxy #2

Guardians of the Galaxy #2: Earth is attacked!!!!! With only the Guardians ready to save it!...because Earth has NO other super heroes on it capable of helping out (actually, that's explained).
The Good: Oh my GOD!!! I have to tell you, I was as big a doubter as anyone about this book, but man, was I WRONG. I totally thought that Marvel put Bendis on this book because of the movie, and they just needed to build up the Guardians of the Galaxy brand so that the "comic book audience" would go see this movie. But, Bendis has a genuine LOVE for these characters. What logically should be a HORRIBLE team, he makes a GREAT team. And the feather in the cap is Iron Man. The way he interacts with them is fantastic. I guess it's because he's been solely interacting with the Avengers for the past 50 years, but this is SUCH a fresh take, that I've totally fallen in love with the character and the rest of the cast.
The Bad: There's a part that I WON'T spoil that is just really unbelievable, even by comic book standards, that it was hard to get past. Also, we find out the reason that the planet Earth is "off limits" to the rest of the galaxy, and it's pretty underwhelming.
The Verdict: Pick it up!!! Yeah, there's a couple things that don't make sense, but overall the book is just plain awesome!!! I hope that this title continues for a long, lone time.

Lt. Uhura is a Guardian of the Galaxy!!!!

Word broke yesterday of Zoe Saldana (Star Trek, Avatar) has nabbed the female lead role in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie!!! For those of you that aren't familiar with the character, here's a brief description:

Created by Jim Starlin in 1975, Gamora is the adopted daughter of cosmic baddie (and Avengers 2 villian) Thanos! She's got super human strength and agility and an accelerated healing factor. She's been a member of the United Front, the Phalanx, The Infinity Watch and of course, The Guardians of the Galaxy.
-If casted, Saldana will join Chris Pratt and Dave Bautista in the movie, which is being directed by James Gunn and opens on August 1 of next year.
-And yes, I would pay $10 to see this girl
