Another week, another stack of four color goodness from the hallowed halls of Austin Books<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Comics<\/span>
\nAmazing Spider-Man #619 (Marvel)<\/span> – This current story arc is like rediscovering the feeling I had the first time I read classic Spider-Man stories. Brilliant work.
\nBatman &amp; Robin #7 (DC) <\/span>– 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.
\nBuck Rogers #8 (Dynamite)<\/span> – It’s Buck Rogers…
\nCaptain America: Reborn #6 (Marvel)<\/span> – 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.
\nDetective #861 (DC) <\/span>– Easily the most imaginatively designed and executed mainstream super hero title around.
\nFantastic Four #575 (Marvel)<\/span> – The FF is back to being a fun book, well told, yet is being somewhat overlooked right now.
\nJack of Fables #42 (DC\/Vertigo) <\/span>– I just love that fact that you never know where this book is going to go from issue to issue.
\nNorthlanders #24 (DC\/Vertigo) <\/span>– 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.
\nRobocop #1 (Dynamite)<\/span> – a combination of recently rewatching the movie, plus making the acquaintance of writer Rob Williams made this a definite pick for this week.
\nSuperman: Secret Origins #4 (DC)<\/span> – Really enjoying this new spin on the Man of Steel’s early days.
\nWitchblade #134 (Top Cow) <\/span>– 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
