I respect that. He's not privy to the content of the book to make a different statement. However, Bomb Queen, historically is an edgy book (just as Caleb's got his history for having fun). It's not that the President is in a comic, it's that Image dares to put him in a Bomb Queen comic. That's akin to an Obama interview in Hustler Magazine. But really, the issue is that Bomb Queen is a villain book. ALL the heroes DIE. So... if she kills Obama, Michelle, the kids and the dog (which she might do) would that still be a typical appearance?

He will be in the entire arc not just the cover like most people did. Hope you give it another look/chance as there really are some very cool things going on with this book. Long live the Queen!!!

Jimmie is using Obama as the counterpoint to his villian Bomb Queen, not as a buddy; big difference. Thanks for belittling and glossing over what will prove to be a salacious use of the President's likeness.. Perhaps you should have left it off your list as it is the only book to elicit a negative comment from you.

I’m starting to think you are really part of the problem – not part of the solution.

What problem is that?

I read those batman issues collected in “the black glove” but i couldn’t really tell it from your description. how about giving the issue numbers as well?

…the long-awaited, final issue of Planetary…

…and yeah, that planetary issue

Is Planetary even a real comic book? I thought that was just an urban legend of some kind.

From the top of my head, I'm looking forward to Green Lantern and X-Force for this week (and Spider-Woman from last).

Caleb, you are missing Absolute Promethea! Seriously? You'd rather pick up Teen Titans #75? Week after week I read this column of yours - and I'm starting to think you are really part of the problem - not part of the solution. Sure, you list Ball Peen Hammer, but not High Moon? I've been waiting two years for that collection. I greatly question your taste in comics. Ummm … Caleb, you are missing Absolute Promethea! Seriously? You’d rather pick up Teen Titans #75?
