  1. @YorkDispatch You are far too cynical for your own good. Embrace the Boogie Woogie!
  2. Superman: Secret Origin No.1 (2009): Comparable to 'Smallville,' but rewarding look at Big S's earliest years. Artist Gary Frank always A++.
  3. Spent (2007): Indy artist Joe Matt spends 100-plus pages talking about his masturbation habits. Yeah, this isn't a comic for everyone.
  4. Aquaman No. 44 (May 98): Guests Sentinel and Garrick. Features a sea monster egged on by Triton. Very mundane issue.
  5. Aquaman No. 42 (March 98): Intro to a new villain, Sea Wolf. I was interested enough to want more. Art was mediocre, kinda Bart Sears style.
  6. True Story Swear to God (2003): Great story on a budding romance. Appreciate the honesty in this. I liked so much that I finished in 4 hrs.
  7. Hulk: The Monster Unleashed (2008): Basic Hulk stories for the uninitiated. In honest, I like these better than most "adult" comics.
  8. Son of Samson and the Raiders of Joppa (V. 4): Not as good as the previous volumes, but I still love the art. Conan-light style adventure.
  9. Booster Gold No. 21 (Aug 09): BG invades the batcave. Blue Beetle smashes a robot. Good enough, but not great. Bored w/ time travel tales.
  10. @Alexandra_Kitty Why bother? It gets 'em ratings!
  11. King Conan No. 1 (Mar 80): Classic Conan with Buscema on art chores. Take that for what it's worth, but I'll tell you: It's worth a lot!
  12. Amazing Spider-Man Family No. 6 (July 09): Interesting reveals about Jackpot. Back up features are mixed bag though. Between Flights: A+!
  13. Blackest Night No. 1 of 8: DC's big to-do of the summer. Yeah, whatever. If you're not into GLs, you won't be wowed by this.
  14. Power Girl No. 3 (Sept 09): PG puts the hurt on UltraHumanite. Good set up story for series that I'm already quite fond of. Old-fashioned!
  15. Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty No. 6 (Feb 99): A look back at an early untold tale where he first fights Iron Man. So-so backup feat.
  16. Steve Rogers Captain America No. 2 (Feb 98): Exciting story as Cap rescues a sub from Hydra. Great comic all around. Worth rereading.
  17. #G.I. Joe (2009 Movie): Far better than TF2, and the story made some sense. Explosions, car chases and silly characters. A+ Summer film.
  18. Nancy Drew No. 4 (2005): Nancy goes to India to help a call-center operator. Oookay. Anyway, decent enough, but not great.
  19. Athena Voltaire and The Black Coat One Shot (2009): Wow this captured a perfect pulp vibe for me. Highly recommended!
  20. Power Girl No. 2 (Aug 09): PG vs. Ultrahumanite. Solid superhero book here. Kind of old school, and that's how I like my comics.
