No plans to pick up anything, but I may get Batman: City of Crime TPB or Uncanny X-Men to check out Bru's X-Men writing abilities.

52 #9 - Great series!
Secret Six #2 - This is going to be good for those of us who loved Villans United
Teen Titans #37 - One of the most solid books out there. Geoff Johns is amazing!
Uncanny X-Men #475 - Brubaker!!!

I'll be getting the following:
52 WEEK #9 - Enjoying the series, just want more of the Question and Montoya, really enjoy their "Screen" time together.
DETECTIVE COMICS #821 - Only started getting this since James Robinson's Face the Face, will continue to get it, looking forward to Paul Dini's run.
JONAH HEX #9 - Okay stuff, not wonderful, but something different.
FURY PEACEMAKER #6 (OF 6) - Never really hit the high notes, still getting it as I like Ennis and Fury, but a poor story really.
PUNISHER #35 (MR) - The man, I hope that Frank starts banging some heads and gives this lot of crooks the whole nine yards and then some small arms fire!
I think that X-Isle from Boom comics may be in this week, I fancied that and I also think that I missed Talent #2 last week. If anyone actually reads this drivel that I write then I cannot strongly enough recommend a comic called Talent, it was from Boom Comics (I think), it was an amazing first issue, it reads like it should be a Wildstorm or Vertigo type story, great set-up, amazing total package, cannot recommend this highly enough.

I'm curious to know how you feel about the first issue. I could not stand the preview in Brave New World, last week! In fact, I've never read anything by Bruce Jones that I like.

I liked the art on that preview, but the story wasn't very clear to me... |

A light week for me. I'm only up for one issue.
Y: The Last Man #47 - A little more than a year to go on this adventure and it's still rolling along. I'm thinking back over the entire run of this book and I'm having difficulty thinking of a period when this book wasn't top notch. If you haven't been following it, catch up in trades and come along for the end of the ride.

wow... Bruce Jones is one of the few people I get anything they do... and lately it's all been things I'd never pick up normally (Warlord, Nightwing, Omac). All solid writing to me, but I don't really know the history of Omac, so I can't tell you if it lives up to any standards other than my own Bruce Jones ones... which are obviously quite different from yours |

This was a fantastic issue! To be honest, I was quite worried about reading this after the Brave New World issue. Jones is more "miss than hit" for me and the preview writing in BNW was easily a "miss." However, there was no question in my mind that Renato Guedes was the superior artist in the special. Especially loved his take on Superman.
Omac #1 has no wacky dream sequence. In fact, the preview to the series has no bearing at all. This is pretty straight forward. Guedes is going to be a name to remember. I am really blown away by his style. I loved the original OMAC series by Jack Kirby. Remains one of my favorite short runs that I own. I also liked Rucka's take on the OMAC Project in the prelude to Crisis series. This new series follows Rucka's run and the one-shot OMAC issue during IC, but it seems to pay tribute more closely to the original Kirby run where only a single OMAC exist. Rucka really made OMAC his own book. I think Jones is more in line of following Kirby rather than making it his own. A safe approach for a writer I have trouble with for the most part.
Really glad that I went ahead and read this. Look forward to the next issue.
Atom #1 was written quite well, but the Bryne art is really aweful. I don't think I'll keep on it.
