My Week In Comics: 9-30-09

Four books this week. Next week -- which is tomorrow...or actually today since it's after midnight -- I only have one book to buy. I may not make the trip to the store since I'll be busy watching the Phillies' playoff games the next two afternoons and then leave for Washington, DC for the weekend.

Green Lantern 46: Continuing with "Blackest Night," but not the events taking place on Earth (the ones featuring Superman and Batman that are so much fun, for example). The problem with this is, it involves characters I don't know much about, and don't care much about; although it's not a bad book, for me it doesn't quite have the same impact.

Superman 692: This issue could have been called "Revelations" because we learn where both Mon-El and John Henry Irons are (not in the same place or in the same condition), among other things. Still, trying to piece together the whole puzzle of what all of these things are leading to -- all we know is that Superman is involved in a huge event next year, as if what's going on now isn't huge enough -- is not easy.

Gotham City Sirens 4: I complained about the last issue because it didn't feature its stars. No complaints this time, as Catwoman and Poison Ivy are out to rescue Harley Quinn from Hush (pretending to be Bruce Wayne). Of course, she doesn't even realize she's in trouble. Then there's The Joker, who's also after her...

Futurama Comics 45: "Anthology Of Interest II" -- in which everyone uses the Professor's What-If Machine to find the answers to questions such as "What if Bender ruled the world?" Since there were two episodes of the TV series with the same plot, and they were called "Anthology Of Interest I" and "Anthology Of Interest II," shouldn't the story in this book be "Anthology Of Interest IV"?
