I know everyone has been waiting as impatiently as I have for the second Neil Gaiman Batman comic, but it finally hits this week and I’m excited. Really excited. (For those of you who live under a rock, that’d be Detective Comics #853.) I promise a long, deep, thoughtful post on both Gaiman books once I’ve read and digested this one.
Also this week is Hellblazer #254, wherein we get to see what’s up with John Constantine’s latest maybe-not-yet-failed relationship, No Hero #5, wherein I have absolutely no idea what’s going to happen other than that it’ll be massively messed up, and Scalped #28, which will continue to be the best book on the stands. Even though I’ve got all the issues, I’m tempted to buy the Scalped trade that comes out this week as well–trades are so much better for repeated reading, and this book simply demands repeat readings.
So this is what we call a really, really great comics week. Is there anything to add to it to make it even better?
What are you excited about this week?

Scalped is awesome. I read the trade several times over. They should make that into a feature film, a dark gritty, full blown movie. It’s a really good narrative

I’m not sure if it really needed to be this way, but I have not read any of the Battle for the Cowl books yet, as I have been holding off for this weeks Detective
All those others Bat books from the past month or so have been piling up

I’m a sucker for those word-heavy Marvel Handbook-like one-shots, so the “Wolverine: Weapon X Files” should be a good read.

I just looked at what’s shipping this week and supposedly Tales Designed to Thrizzle 5 is coming out…!!!!!!!!! They’re few and far between, but amazing!
