*CAUTION*: Y THE LAST MAN SPOILER IN THE VIEWER MAIL
More Newsarama Sneak Reviews! We got an early look at Logan #1 written by Brian K. Vaughan. Lots of great stuff for Wolverine fans.
Raven #1 is another number one of a limited series we checked out this week. It goes deep into DC continuity.
On stands this week, Cable #1 is a Messiah Complex spin-off. Cable is traveling somewhere in time with an X-Baby trying to keep it safe from harm.
Then, in the speed round we’ve got Jack of Fables #20 (fun and truly funny), RASL #1 (from Jeff Smith the creator of Bone), All Star Batman & Robin #9 (a book Pete calls creepy), X-Men Legacy #208 (highly recommended and is a great jumping on point), and Crime Bible #5 (a fantastic book, well worth getting the TPB).
In our viewer mail, J Yo on the Pulp Secret forums asks what our favorite “holy crap” moment in comics was.

I love these guys. …
I love these guys.
Yeah, I read the first 3 Ravens and it didn’t really get any better. It made her seem like a psychic Nancy Drew. That plus it’s like she becomes one of like the plastics. And it makes her seem like she’s not with pop culture (in the comic, she doesn’t know the pussycat dolls). I know she’s an intelletual, but I doubt she’d be that bad. They also marketed the out of it by having “an emo comic” on the cover after the title, as a buzz word, you know.

bendis is a good …
bendis is a good writer, his daredevil reads excellently in trade and secret invasion is shaping up to be alot of fun, the marvel stories you reference though, except for house of m, had nothing to do with bendis, the one more day fiasco was editorial mandate so you cant even pin it on JMS, and captain america is written (superbly i might add) by brubaker

My OMG moment was …
My OMG moment was Superman #75, when Supes strikes the final blow, leaving a crater in the middle of the city, with Doomsday dead, and he lay dying in Lois’ arms. The boxes of narration were just amazing, and the picture of Ma Kent watching all this on the news… it was just the most moving comic ever.

To the guy who left …
To the guy who left the phone messages: Bendis is overrated! Keep him away from DC. Its fine the way it is. I agree that Superman needs a new writer and so does JLA. Get Morrison back on JLA!
If Bendis took over, he’d have Superman assassinated, Batman: “Brand New Night”(even though it be the same story’s from thirty years ago) and have most of the super-heroes lose their powers after his “Dynasty of L”(thats L for Luthor) JLA/JSA team-up storyarc.
Down with Bendis!

Alright, let’s get …
Alright, let’s get down to brass tacks here. If they made a feature length Hollywood movie about The Stack Who would they cast??? My suggestions:
Penn Gillette - Pete
Mathew Broderick - Justin
Woody Allen - Alex (The zombie)

I appreciate the …
I appreciate the reviews, it is really important because with comics costing $12 an issue, we need to be discerning in what we buy.
Also, must be nice not to have to pay for all these comics you review…

Great as always. …
Great as always. Thanks for sharing.
When are you guys going to review old comics? I think it’d be fun - and helpful, in case a viewer missed some great must-read series.

Thought of another …
Thought of another OMG moment besides Daredevil #181. Thunderbolts #1 with the best ending to any comic book. Its such a classic reveal cos that usually happens much later in a series. That it happened in the first issue was so unexpected for me. Classic stuff.

I like the way Pete just shakes his head to evrything Justin says.
And my “holy crap” moment in comics was probably the Death of Captain America. I’d stopped Captain America because I found it boring. Next thing I know, Caps dead. And I was the only one who didn’t have a copy. Such a shock. Ironically I now find the comic much better without Steve Rogers.

I challenge each of you to come up with fice reasons why one more day is the greatest spiderman story ever told. everybody must have their own five and nobody is allowed to have the same reason as anyone else~.
think it’s possible?

Hey, I was …
Hey, I was wondering what you guys thought of the those side-bar comics like Star Wars and Forgotten Realms? Those comics that deal with previously existing story lines, and are sort of ‘tag ons’ to the preexisting mythology. Are they kind of the running joke of the comic world or what?

That was a priceless reveiw for batman and robin ive yet to pick up the series at all am kinda on the fence.
But how i love batman and frank miller…

“Parting is such sweet sorrow, dearest. still you can’t say we didn’t show you a good time. enjoy yourself out there. in the asylum.”
“just don’t forget, if it gets too tough…there’s always a place for you here.”
i have to go with idenity crisis for the ultimate omg moment. tim drakes final words to his father and batman’s look of genuine fear as he says
“not again.”
