Pick Of My Pile for the week of 6-3.

Hello Chums,

I'm continuing to get caught up on my reading since I'm back from vacation. Check out this week's purchases.

Marvel:

Agents of Atlas #6. Issue #5 just came out two weeks ago. Should I be happy it's on time or mad I bought another issue of this - this month? Great art though.

The Mighty Avengers #25. Now officially on my death watch. I should do a post featuring the books I drop.

New Avengers - The Reunion #4 (of 4). Not quite the ending I expected with the Hawkeye/Ronin and Mockingbird story, but I can live with it.

Punisher - Naked Kill (one-shot). Nicely drawn story of the Punisher bringing down a porn/snuff flick ring.

Ultimatum #4 (of 5). End this already. Nuff said.

Universal War One - The Patriarch #3 (of 3) (Soliel). Quite possibly my favorite limited series (in some time anyway). I can't say enough about this series. Story-awesome. Art-awesome. Coloring-awesome. I wish they would collect the whole thing into one massive hardcover with a lot of extras.

New Mutants #2. Nice second issue. This story is starting to move along well now. Off my death watch for now.

DC:

The Warlord #3. This book continues to be strong. I hope it continues to move along with Grell writing and doing covers for quite a long time.

Batman and Robin (Batman Reborn) #1. Morrison story-good. Quitely art-great. Another big winner from this team.

What The? Two (great) DC books in the same week? Unheard of.

Image:

Jersey Gods #5. Death of the Jersey Gods. I gave it an arc, but I'm done.

IDW:

Star Trek - Crew #4. John Byrne continues his early years Trek tales-good stuff!

Wildstorm:

Astro City - The Dark Age - Book 3 #2. Okay, I know. The last issue I wasn't really on board with, but with this issue I'm back on board with Charles and Royal Williams. I just hope the next six issues (of their story) come out in a timely fashion. And then how about some more super hero stories? That is what made this book so great in the first place.

The Pick Of My Pile this week is: What? A DC book? Unbelievable that it's not The Warlord. But it is Batman and Robin (Batman Reborn) #1. From the awesome cover image on - this book is great! Check out the art - great. But check out the story also. New Batman and new Robin also. Very cool.
