The Ettatorial for the Week of 11-05-08
A very good week of releases this week, with both the quality and quantity of releases I love. While three other books made attempts to be picks of the week (Amazing Spider-Man was very good, but I felt odd having it up for a third straight week, the Avengers: The Initiative Special was so close, [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 4-23-08
A very good week of releases this week, even with the fact that I couldn’t get two books. Diamond apparently thinks that when it ships books to stores that what a store orders is more like a suggestion than an order (hence why Batman isn’t going to have the chance to make book of the [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 3-19-08
A big week of releases this week, made bigger for yours truly because of books that sold out last week. And while I actually would have pick one as book of the week, I won’t because here at the Ettatorial, I keep with my rule of picking from the current week’s releases. Instead, I’ve got [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 1-09-08
A medium sized week of releases for me, and that means a couple picks for this week. The first, Suicide Squad: Raise the Flag #5 is getting yet another nod from me for book of the week. The mini-series just seems to get whats right about comics, giving entertaining stories with good art month in, [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 12-19-07
A so-so week of releases, highlighted by my two picks. While both are deserving of your time and money, even they weren’t up to past weeks. The first, Batman and the Outsiders #3 makes it the third straight issue to receive the vote for book of the week. The series has started out strong, especially [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 12-12-07
A medium sized week of releases this week, with a couple of books good enough to be picked for books of the week. The first pick is a surprising one, being that it’s part of a crossover/mini-series event I didn’t even purchase any of the other parts. Stormwatch PHD Armegeddon #1 was an excellent one-shot [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 11-21-07
A huge week of releases this week, making the decision for the picks of the week even more difficult. A week that has an issue of Ex Machina, Captain America, and Brave and the Bold come out and not get it is a pretty impressive week indeed. Even Countdown was good, and considering how much [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 10-17-07
An awesome week of releases this week, actually making my picks for the week difficult for me to pick. Thats a rarity lately. Some came close (Captain America, Brave and the Bold, Ex Machina), and even Countdown seemed improved this week (I said improved, not good enough to pick or say good). But I [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 9-19-07
A great week of releases this week, much too good to just pick a book or two. I’m beginning to think all the best books are getting released in the same weeks, and that is what causes the occasional week’s pick with a graphic novel here on the Ettatorial. Back to topic here, which [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 3-21-07
A small week of releases this week for me, but 2 were good enough to be picks of the week. Both from DC, which is nice to see in the current Marvel post-Civil War market. Your picks of the week are Brave and the Bold #2 and Checkmate #12. Totally different in tone, but excellent [...]
