Title: Re: JUNE 2007 Comics! Post by: Michel Weisnor on March 19, 2007, 06:41:50 PM All-Star Superman is a must read. Superman Through the Ages appears to be only 48 pages. Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus continues to please the eye. Jeff Smith's Captain Marvel concludes. The Spirit always looks good.
I'm going to stop buying regular DCU after Last Son and Camelot Falls storylines. Current DC stories I don't want to read and the artwork is eye candy with no substance. What DC lacks in creativity, it makes up in trite mediocrity. Title: Re: JUNE 2007 Comics! UPDATE Post by: Super Monkey on March 19, 2007, 07:37:55 PM More comics for June:

Title: Re: JUNE 2007 Comics! Post by: crispy snax on March 22, 2007, 06:41:33 AM ooo nice cover... it prove that yes jimmy is a schizo...
im torn, should i buy this or wait for the showcase volumes? (which i wanna buy lots of) nice covers can distract me, so can promises of colour :P and ps: as much as ive tried, fourth world just... never... excited me! i managed to pick up four voloumes of the old black and white collections for a dollar each and... yeah... Title: Re: JUNE 2007 Comics! Post by: nightwing on March 22, 2007, 12:35:34 PM Bless DC for these cool collections they keep cranking out. Keeps me knee-deep in comics without having to buy any current titles! :)
At the moment, though, I'm having more fun with IDW's "Dick Tracy" collections and the new Popeye "I Yam What I Yam" book. Plus "Terry and the Pirates" is in the pipeline! Now if my wallet will just stand up to this flood of cool stuff... Title: Re: JUNE 2007 Comics! Post by: TELLE on March 27, 2007, 08:10:36 PM The Popeye book is awesome!
But that Brian Bolland Jimmy Olsen Cover is great too and I'm intrigued by the Batgirl showcase! Title: Re: JUNE 2007 Comics! Post by: Super Monkey on March 27, 2007, 08:37:27 PM Fantagraphics is so great, they really put a lot of care and love into their books, or at least the people who get their books published by them do anyway.
Title: Re: JUNE 2007 Comics! Post by: crispy snax on March 28, 2007, 04:14:53 AM out of curiousity (and i admit it, severe geekyness) would it be at all possible to get a poster of that jimmy olsen cover? i love its quirkyness! and its like jimmy has realised his dementia!
