It’s coming. Soon, soon indeed. Some of us have been waiting since 1986. And that’s a very long time. Will it live up to our expectations? Maybe not. Because it’s a movie. Not a comic book. But I’ll still be there with bells on, and I’m bringing my 11-year-old self along for the ride. I bet he’ll like it even more than me. He thought Tim Burton’s Batman was out of this world.

But enough about Watchmen. What about the comics of today? Well, most of them probably pale in comparison, but I’ll still be parting with a few bucks down at the local rack jobber this week. What will I get in return? I guess that’s the whole point of this blog, isn’t it. So keep your shirt on (except you, ladies).

Thunderbolts

New Avengers

Mighty Avengers

Captain America

Dark Tower

Green Lantern

There they are, that’s all of them. Which issues? The ones that are new this week, dumb-ass. Do I have to do everything for you? I’m already doing everything for myself. My hands are full, thanks. And if you want a blurb about each of this week’s comics, check out marvel.com or dccomics.com…that’s what I do.

Actually, I’m just rushing through this thing so I can get to the shop while the books are still hot. And I don’t want them to run out of some new indie title I might have bought if they’d only ordered three copies instead of two. That’s happened one too many times. For instance, they only order one copy of Geek Magazine. And sometimes another guy gets it before me. So I never did read that cover story about Tina Fey a few months back. Oh, well. Forgive me, Liz Lemon. Forgive me.

Alright, pardners. ‘Til next week, don’t hold those comics so close to your face. You’ll go blind that way.

Bagged and Boarded,
