  1. Days Missing...always rocking the compelling ideas and never predictable. Minor quip: White cursive font on brown kills my old eyeballs.
  2. Days Missing 4: Our time-traveler pops up in 1519. Cortez, the Aztecs, and a meditation on genocide and "best laid plans" (to quote Burns)
  3. Five comics left to read. I'll finish with reviews -- and declare Pick of the Week sometime tomorrow. Had to take a Modern Warfare break!
  4. Secret Warriors 10: Ares and his offspring take center stage. Vitti's art just keeps getting better. Nice setup issue for things to come...
  5. Fantastic Four 573: Stand-alone issue. Hickman wraps up some of Millar's FF arc. The future doesn't go so well for Alyssa. Or someone's face
  6. (I may have "event" burnout)
  7. Blackest Night 5: Rainbow splash pages, Larfleeze comedy, perhaps too many one-liners, WhoTF is in that cowl? Lotta zombie tongue in this.
  8. Wow. Holy Instant Feedback, Batman! I'll keep the mini-reviews coming over the next 24 hours! Thanks for all the "Yay."
  9. What's the verdict on the mini-reviews? Yay or Nay? If y'all like them, I'll post some more later. I'm only 1/3 through today's comics.
  10. Ultimate Avengers 4: Ultimate War Machine is kind of an A-hole. Cap vs "Nerd Hulk" = nice callback to Ultimates Vol 1.
  11. Criminal #2: Hardboiled as hell. Brubaker and Phillips are always excellent, and this issue is no exception. Hooked for issue 3.
  12. Northlanders 22: In 1020, the Plague is like Swine Flu turned up to 11. Tough times for a tough lady. Liked the bit about frozen hands.
  13. Powers 1: New storyline. Superhero Rat-Pack. Electric sex. "Whoopi" line. Bendis riffing on Captain America? I'm sold.
  14. Goon 33: Wordless. Wonderful. Powell gives us a silent issue that says everything about The Goon. Love the "eyeball punch" and the "puppy."
  15. Detective 859: Holy Origin, Batwoman! JHW3's versatile art blows my mind. Rucka gives the finger to Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Best issue yet.
  16. So, since we aren't reviewing new comics this week on the podcast, I'm going to try something new. Mini-tweet reviews. Starting with...
  17. This week's special FRESH INK ONLINE will be hosted by the great @NateRockQuarry. And safe travels to everyone this holiday.
  18. Short boxes in closet. And I've been donating a ton to a children's hospital. RT @thegangstanerd Where do you store all those books?
  19. Haven't had time to read 'em yet -- but IRON MAN has the best cover. Love the redesign. RT @matt_gentlemen best book that came out today?
  20. ...the Web, Northlanders, Immortal Weapons, Secret Warriors, Ult Avengers, Blackest Night, more. ZOMG I'm poor now....
