The Ettatorial for the Week of 12-30-09 or, The Ettatorial Year-Ender
Well folks, it’s time for the last Ettatorial of the year. And this finale for 2009 couldn’t have been any better scheduled. Why you ask? Well, Diamond Comics Distributors made this week a shipping skip week, making it so no new releases came out (well, except DC’s massive hit Blackest Night #6, but that was [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 12-23-09
Simply put, a huge week of releases this week. Adding to that two books released last week that had been sold out locally (Next Issue Project #2 and Daytripper #1 for those wondering at home), and the busy holiday week equals a bit of a cheat for me here. Instead of a recommendation, I’m going [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 11-25-09
A truly great week of releases this week, making it very difficult for me to pick just what was my pick of the week. Instead, I’m going to go with a quick run down of my purchases and let you be the judge.
The Ettatorial for the Week of 9-23-09
A large week of releases this week, and something weird happened. After reading all my purchases, I honestly had a problem picking out the best of the week. Once I picked one out, another issue made the argument that it was just as good, and just as deserving. That just kept happening, and I just [...]
The Ettatorial for Week of 8-26-09
A very nice week of releases this week, with a couple of books surprising me and beating out a few with their quality. It’s always nice to have a few books sneak up on you like that, and when it’s on a week of quality like this, it’s even better. Batman and Robin, Wednesday Comics, [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 5-27-09
A very good week of new releases, with a sizable amount of books for picks of the week. First up this week is Ignition City #3. Ellis’ space/western continues, and with each issue manages to outdo himself. I truly think this series is the best thing he has written since Planetary or Transmetropolitan. This issue [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 1-28-09
A fairly large week of releases this week, with one book missing (Amazing Spider-Man Extra #2) due to selling out at the local comic shop. I had hoped that this week’s picks would include Final Crisis #7, the last issue of DC’s mega-event. Sad to say, but the last issue was a large disappointment, much [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 10-29-08
Another week of big releases, with my count of issues at seven purchased. Yet, with that big of a number, nothing really stood out that much. Avengers the Initiative (a perennial pick here at the Ettatorial) wasn’t it’s usual self, Trinity seemed to take a step back in regards to it’s story-telling clarity, Justice League [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 9-24-08
A decent sized week of releases this week made a pick/picks of the week difficult, and as such, three books out of a possible seven made the cut. The first book this week is Avengers: The Initiative #17. I’ve said it many a time, this is easily one the best books Marvel publishes every single [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 8-27-08
A huge week of releases this week, with enough quality to make my selection process a bit on the difficult side. With books ranging from the craziness/high-concept of Morrison’s 3-D Final Crisis: Superman Beyond to the release (again) of all three Avengers books in one week, to very good issues of Daredevil, Thunderbolts and DC [...]
