Just Identity Crisis #5 and Ultimate Spiderman #67 for me.
Don't kill anyone if you don't have to. We're here to make a deal.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Art Crawl!!!
There is lots next week too.
But my list was what Teppy said plus Manhunter and possibly Firestorm.

Hey. New board.
I picked up the first three issues of Rogue the other day, and actually enjoyed them quite a lot. Anybody else reading it? The first issue of Nightcrawler kinda stunk, though.
Hmm. I just realized that the comics I'm reading regularly are Ultimate X-Men, Astounishing, and now Rogue. When did I turn into an X-Men fan and leave the Batverse behind?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Possibly the same time I became a Batverse fan and left the Spideyverse behind.

Teppy -- have you really left the Spideyverse behind? That's kind of sad.
(Obviously, there is something the creates balance amongst fans of various comic-verses)

Not in a "Spidey SUCKS!" kind of way; more of an Ultimate-Spidey-was-getting-too-navel-gazey-for-me way. And that was the only Spidey title I was reading. It's not that I'm not a Spidey fan, because he's my main man, yo. I'm just giving Ultimate a rest for now.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Ultimate titles lately have been enjoying the meta-references a bit much, making excuses to throw in imagery and such from the 616 Universe a bit liberally (prime example in UXM 52, with Jean's "third-grade Halloween costume" being identical to one of the classic Marvel Girl outfits from the 60s/70s).

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I picked up "Identity Crisis" #5 on the way to work.
Gack. There is carnage. And how many things connect now confuse me more than ever.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
And how many things connect now confuse me more than ever.
Yeah...who the crap is Captain Boomerang? Is he a villain or a hero? Is it normal for him to go around killing people? And why does his son have speed? Who's his son? Who the fuck is the Monocle? Who were all those people? What the fuck is going on? Why is Firestorm dead? Do I care?
The War Games titles were pretty good this week. Very nice panel layout in the last two pages of Batgirl.
more of an Ultimate-Spidey-was-getting-too-navel-gazey-for-me way.
The latest issue is called "Jump the Shark." And it involves, apparently, the notion that Logan and Peter have inexplicably switched bodies.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Yeah...who the crap is Captain Boomerang?
P.C., Captain Boomerang is a member of Flash's rogues gallery, albeit an aging one, so he's a villain. He's sort of a boomerang version of Green Arrow or Merlyn. He's also been featured throughout IC, so I find your surprise at seeing him, well, surprising.
The fact that his son has speed powers is a complete asspull.
