What you should buy-7/31/13

As always, some great stuff out this week. First, we're actually going to start with a MOVIE, not a comic, though.

JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE FLASHPOINT PARADOX: This movie is AWESOME!!!! Seriously, watch it. Based on the world (literally) changing Flashpoint story by Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert.

THE BIONIC MAN #22: Steve gets some help protecting a defecting scientist from a really odd place.

CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT #1: Spinning out the 1940's, Captain Midnight is BACK!!! But, the government isn't too happy about it.

TRINITY WAR: PANDORA #2: I gotta tell you, I love love LOVE Trinity War. It's got that old school feeling of a crossover, yet it's really fresh and new.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES #24: Cityfall part 3!!!! This story is EPIC!!! It's only 3 parts in, so if you haven't gotten in yet, pick up the 2 back issues and get started!!!

GI JOE #6: The origin of COVER GIRL!!!!! What makes a fashion model join GI Joe? I mean, besides getting to hang around with Shipwreck? Find out here!

What a week!!! If you're in Chicago, I'll be at Challengers Comics + Conversation on Wednesday where we'll be having their monthly book club meeting, Chattingers. This month the book up for discussion is FLASHPOINT! Not only will we be talking about this awesome trade, we'll be watching the movie afterwards!!! Hope to see you there!

Next Week:

THE LIST-for December 26th......

OK, after a couple of HUGE weeks, we get a tiny, tiny week. But, the good news is, 90% of the books are pretty awesome. Here's what I recommend that you pick up:

Amazing Spider-Man #700-Yes, you might have read spoilers online about what happens, but DO NOT let that disway you from getting this book. It's intense!! This final issue of Amazing Spider-Man is SO GOOD!!! It's got ALL the classic Spidey elements in it, and a shock ending that you're not gonna believe.

Aquaman #15-The Throne of Atlantis officially begins!!!! And, I've always loved new-to-Aquaman artist Paul Pelletier. And now he's drawing one of my favorite books!!! WIN WIN!!

Justice League #15-The Throne of Atlantic continues!!!! AWESOME!!!

-So, there you have it, a measly 3 books, but they're all GREAT!!!! This is the week that I say-TRY SOMETHING YOU HAVEN'T READ BEFORE!!!! Pick up that book you've wanted to check out and never had the extra money for. As your retailer to recommend something! There's a LOT of good stuff out there, that unfortunately goes under most people's radar. If your in Chicago, I'll see you Wednesday at Challengers!!
