Weekly Reviews - 10 October 2012 (With Previews)

[Mad_Man_Moon]

Hi. This week's reviews thread. The previews section is taken from Diamond's page, here: might be here Favourite Images: Chat later. ONWARD! This is a thread to post some quick one paragraph reviews of the week's releases. We have the reviews section to come back some time in the future, this is more informal and just to get a paragraph of your thoughts on the week's releases, and to discuss each other's opinions thereafter, if one feels the need. Here's the format: Title (publisher) # - Rating Out Of 5 One paragraph review goes here. Title (publisher) # - Rating Out Of 5 One paragraph review goes here. Post as much or as little as you like, I'll create a new thread each week.

[Fysh]

Nowt for me, which kind of suits me. I'm backlogged with a bunch of lovely Euro comics I picked up in Belgium plus my normal stuff from the last month, plus I've got a bunch of non-comics stuff to read that I want to get through (including new Stross, new Pratchett + Baxter, not new Joe Hill, and several anthologies, as well as my ongoing efforts to get through That Bastard Neal Stephenson's apparently infinite Baroque Cycle).

I tell a lie, in that I definitely want that Chris Ware set, but it's gone straight onto my wishlist as a potential christmas present.

[GhostClavicles]

Hey, I was just reading some Belgian web comics (or at least attempting to).

Garden Raiders by Juliette Etrivert

Rather bawdy, but quite weird and colorful. Lots of giant toucan wish fulfillment, if that's your thing...


This week's pulls:


Conan the Barbarian #9

The Massive #5

Saga Vol. 1 TPB


Zero interest in this week's big, bloated, uncannily unnecessary debut, Uncanned Avengers #1.

Oh yarr? I had asked once before, but I didn't want to pester anyone too much about it.

T'would be swell if you could make that happen, Mr. Moon!

[Andy]

Ghost, nee Mechanical, appears to have lost his post count - you can go ninja on your "favourite" posters now!

[Mad_Man_Moon]

hah ... no ... he's not himself

[Mad_Man_Moon]

i mean, he is ... but we're working on switching around his aliases .... aliai ... alysees .... muh

Oh, and Andy, drinks .... two or three weeks time on a thursday ...
