Pick Of My Pile for the weeks of 11-05, 11-12, and 11-19

Hello Chums,

After having multiple computer problems (the computer was in the shop twice), I'm finally back on line! Let's hope it lasts.

Since I have missed many weeks of The Pick Of My Pile, I'm going to put multiple weeks together. So here goes.

11/5:

Marvel:

Stephen King The Stand Captain Trips #3 (of 5). Excellent adaption of King's best work.

Stephen King The Dark Tower Treachery #3 (of 6). I'm under impressed so far.

Franklin Richards Sons Of Geniuses! #1 (one-shot). Mostly for kids, but fun anyway.

Daredevil & Captain America Dead On Arrival #1. Lame. Lame. Lame.

Ultimatum #1 (of 5). This could be a great story. Let's hope for it. The art is great.

Marvel Zombies 3 #2 (of 4). Not as good as the first issue but I'll hang in there.

Punisher War Journal Annual #1. Great art and coloring in a "Murder World" type of story.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Sketchbook (free). The Wizard of Oz + Skottie Young = CRAP! Can you get your money back on a free book?

DC:

Kingdom Come Special Superman #1 (one-shot). Alex Ross story and art. Nuff said.

IDW:

Star Trek Mirror Images #5 (of 5). An okay ending to this mirror universe story.

Dynamite:

Project Superpowers Chapter Two Prelude. Very nice Alex Ross pencil pages.

Image:

Kick Drum Comix #2 (of 2). Two more stories written and drawn by Jim Mahfood.

The Pick Of My Pile for this week is Kingdom Come Special #1. Check out the cool Alex Ross cover.

11/12:

Dark Horse:

B.P.R.D. The Warning #5 (of 5). Great Guy Davis art. The story? Ehh.

Image:

The Mice Templar #6. The end of the first arc. I might drop this title before arc two starts.

Marvel:

Wolverine #69 Old Man Logan p.4. More of Logan and Clint in the future.

Because of the lack of books to pick from, Wolverine #69 has back doored it's self into The Pick Of My Pile for this week.

11/19:

Marvel:

Punisher War Journal #25. Frank verses the Skrulls. Attaboy Frank.

Uncanny X-Men #504. The Mojo universe, Scott has a secret "black box" in his brain and the return of Dr. Nemesis.

The Age Of The Sentry #3. The most fun comic in quite awhile. With great cartoony art also.

Fantastic Four #561. Excellent story from Millar and Hitch.

Avengers / Invaders #6 (of 12). A good story that I wish could of happened after the Secret Invasion.

Wildstorm:

The X-Files #1. More Mulder and Scully set in or around the fifth season.

Star Trek The Next Generation The Last Generation #1 (of 5). The great start to a time travel (or multi-generational story) with many of the different Star Trek crews set in different time periods.

The Pick Of My Pile this week is Age of The Sentry #3. The retro story and art is a lot of fun and should not be missed.

That's it for now.

Keep Reading Comics.
