 of Greg Capullo has really been amazing during their run together so far. The whole Red Hood gang tale has felt important, meaningful and like it could redefine all known Batman lure (just like court of owls did) If the pair can continue to produce stories and work as they have been, then this should be a great issue and well worth buying this week.
Cryptozoic Man 1:
Now this is an odd one for me to put in here this week, as I’m not thoroughly excited by it as much as i am intrigued by it. The comic book short series has received a lot of publicity, even getting a personal shout out from Stan Lee on National US television- so I do expect it to sell well and for it to be clambered for by collectors maybe more so than intended readers. The book started life as an idea form ‘Comic Book men’ season 2, and will run its course here before leading into the 3rd season of the popular show.
The book is written by Walt Flannagan and Bryan Johnson, with Walt also doing the artwork duties. The official synopsis for the book is as follows, and does sound interesting:.
Keep an eye on this title, as I expect it to sell out quickly and really rise in value.
Three 1:
This is another new series, but this time one I am truly excited about. This is another independent creator book this time from Kieron Gillen, Ryan Kelly and Jordie Bellaire. Gillen has been producing some of the best books out there over the last 18months, and that’s one of the reasons im on board to see how this plays out, not to mention the artwork of Bellaire who’s style I really enjoy in Manhattan projects and cant wait to see on a more rural and ancient project. The official synopsis for the book:.
I’m hoping this can be different enough from the tone of 300, despite the same era and obvious likenesses to be a truly refreshing take on a time of war and savagery. If it can then I see this book becoming a real success. This is receiving huge buzz levels from retailers- so get your copy fast.
That’s another week down- but for a full list of everything available in your comic store just go here

- ‘Three’ #1 from Image Comics buzz (comicsheatingup.net)The weekend is almost here which means we all need to begin planning Gumby Fun Day! What will your day of fun involve? For me, I’m jumping back into Sword and Sworcery because I never finished it and I feel that I should. How about you? What are you playing this weekend?
Back in March I bought Sword and Sworcery on iPad. I never finished it because I got stuck and, to be honest, I didn’t really know what I was doing. I think I was just expecting it to be super easy and transparent because it was on iPad. Well, I guess I was wrong! So that’s what I’m playing this weekend. How about you?
Mates birthday so it will most likely be, who can drink untill they pass out game.
Dads 50th birthday tomorrow, wifes christmas-do tonight, no gaming at all unfortunately.
Mario Kart 7. Whilst drunk. At the local.
Also, Skyward Sword and Uncharted 3 if I can find the time.
I’m with you on the Riddler trophies. I always LOL at how polite Batman can be after interrogating.
But yeah, the challenges are kind of more fun than actually running around following the story. Not that the story’s bad, I’ve just had more fun roaming, spotting fights, trophies, riddles, etc.
Trying to get more of those navigational/gadget challenges. Those are tough.
I’m still waiting to hear ONE SINGLE THING from these interrogees, as soon as their ready to talk he smashes them into the pavement.
Mario kart 7 as of tommorow.
If I can find time between work and my sister’s engagement party – SKYRIM!
Arkham City, got to get through it this weekend!
So I’m not committed enough to the idea of Skyrim to pick it up on xbox360 like I do all my normal games, so I’m going to wait until it’s like $20 on steam and add it to my growing list of games I will play for about two hours then get bored – given this is how it went with Oblivion, I can’t exactly expect Skyrim to be any different until proven otherwise.
Thankfully, my old-ass PC will actually run Skyrim (according to the ‘can you run it’ webapp), hopefully it runs it better than it ran Alpha Protocol though.
So with that said (as an explanation as to why I’ll be one of the few people who doesn’t answer ‘SKYRIM’ in this thread), I will probably play MW3 and if it’s well behaved, I might try and knock out Assassin’s Creed Revelations. At the moment it’s in the naughty corner for constantly screwing me over by making Ezio glitch out and flail worthlessly in circles instead of throwing a knife at the cowardly templar den captain I need to kill.
I’ll be playing Fix the YLOD’d PS3.
Don’t worry Tracey, I don’t think many people got past the point where you actually had to wait a month or something for the moon to rise to keep playing (without changing the clock). Given that youn have reminded me about, may have to revist it.
Other than drinking, Skyward sword it is as it has won the battle between it and Skyrim for my attention.
AC Revelations and Demon’s Souls. I keep psyching myself out of Demon’s Souls, but I’m going to give it another go, because I (think I) enjoyed what I’ve played so far!
Quick anecdote: I bought Demon’s Souls back when it came out. Played for 2 hours – got thrashed repeatedly… thought, “What the …? This isn’t a game!” Loaned it to a respected gamer friend, who promptly completed it, gave it back to me, and told me “that was awesome, thanks!”. Decided to try it again on this advice, and the love affair began soon after. It almost didn’t happen! Stay with it Shane, and the rewards will follow!
Also, <3 Gumby.
Making my way through Batman AA before AC and I’m loving every bit of it……so good!!
Mario Kart 7 hopefully.
Battlefield 3 for me. I’m past level 10, so it’s starting to get more fun (it was fun anyway, but *more* fun is better) and I want to get past level 20 as soon as I can because apparently that’s when it really shines.
Skyward Sword. Its consuming me! The only game ive played this year that im having trouble putting down. Its magical.
I am away mountain biking with my ladyfan this weekend. However, tonight we’re having a night in and I am hopeful she will just want to sleep on the couch whilst I play Skyrim! She asked me this morning if it was a 2 player game – at least she’s trying. Hehe.
But it is two player. The second player gets experience points for fetching beers and after about 3 beers they unlock the “buy pizza” perk.
I was thinking it might me more of a vin rouge evening, McGarnical. However, you’re right, there’s nothing more hearty and robust than swigging from a tankard of strong brew whilst traversing the rustic tundra of Skyrim’s cold locations. And I don’t think it will take too much grinding to attain that all-important pizza perk.
The vino is a good point, but it’s an alternative path on the skill tree. I think it leads to a cheese platter but I’m not sure because I’ve been putting all my points into the Healesville microbrew category (White Rabbit shout out!).
Nice work on the White Rabbit. I love their dark ale! You may know this already, but they’re owned by the Little Creatures guys. Anyway, I might sink a few points into both. Nothing like mixing it up and seeing what happens!
I had something similar. I was playing skyrim and my wife asked me if I would be interested in playing a two player game but she disappeared into the bedroom as soon as she said it! It was very rude so I stayed up playing skyrim.
Very strange. And what’s with the lace underwear? Isn’t she cold?
I did have that thought. The best thing now is this morning she told me I can stay up playing single player games every night now. I love my wife.
Thoughtful of her to put your quilt on the couch too.
Yes, I think there is quit ea clear message here.
Is it, “MOAR SK
