The Weekly Haul – 1/27/10 – What I’m Reading and Why

Another week, another stack of four color goodness from the hallowed halls of Austin Books.

Comics
Amazing Spider-Man #619 (Marvel) – This current story arc is like rediscovering the feeling I had the first time I read classic Spider-Man stories. Brilliant work.
Batman & Robin #7 (DC) – still not 100% sold on this Grant Morrison take of the Dark Knight – it’s up and down – will give it a couple more issues.
Buck Rogers #8 (Dynamite) – It’s Buck Rogers…
Captain America: Reborn #6 (Marvel) – Will admit I just picked this one up to complete the mini-series, but truth be told I really lost interest a couple of issues back.
Detective #861 (DC) – Easily the most imaginatively designed and executed mainstream super hero title around.
Fantastic Four #575 (Marvel) – The FF is back to being a fun book, well told, yet is being somewhat overlooked right now.
Jack of Fables #42 (DC/Vertigo) – I just love that fact that you never know where this book is going to go from issue to issue.
Northlanders #24 (DC/Vertigo) – Consistently one of the best quality books on the stands at the moment. Never fails to be powerful, thought provoking, and educational even for a history nut like myself.
Robocop #1 (Dynamite) – a combination of recently rewatching the movie, plus making the acquaintance of writer Rob Williams made this a definite pick for this week.
Superman: Secret Origins #4 (DC) – Really enjoying this new spin on the Man of Steel’s early days.
Witchblade #134 (Top Cow) – Dipped back into the world of Witchblade a few months back, and have been surprised by how much I’m enjoying the series right now.
