She Has No Head! is back kids! And back with a vengeance! Or you know, just regular geance. Which is not a word, I’m aware.
Anyway, I’m doing something called The Comics Project, which is in the vein of the popular Ladies Comics Projects that came before it, where I solicited lapsed and non-comics readers to read issues of the DCU’s “NEW 52”. Head on over to read all about it in Part 1.
It’s an easy win this week for J.H. Williams III’s long-awaited Batwoman #1:
But there were some very nice offerings this week beyond Batwoman, so some runner ups!

“Opening up “John Carter: A Princess of Mars” #1, I had no idea what I was getting into. A kinetic and incredibly fun Skottie Young cover, an intriguing title, and a (far too slight) familiarity with Edgar Rice Burroughs’ work suggested it was something I should try out, though, and I’m glad I did…”

““Buffy The Vampire Slayer” is a hard comic for me to review, as I have to struggle to keep the emotionally invested fangirl parts of me balanced with the objective reviewer parts. Fortunately, “Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Season 9” #1 is a very good comic, so my job is made easy…”

Also…there was some craziness the past week and I didn’t have time to put posts up for my other reviews, but last week I reviewed:

I love Jim Cheung’s art, dude is a straight up badass. But what on the motherfuckingplanet is the excuse for this crap with Rogue’s costume? I mean…it’s just ABSURD.
The “Rogue costume problem” which went on for so long over the past year, has largely stopped. I haven’t seen her unzipped, or at least not to unreasonable levels for a very long time. So where THE HELL does this come from? Man, this kind of silly crap makes me so frustrated with comics.
C’mon Mr. Cheung, you are SO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS. What happened?!?!?

Also, I thanked Derek in the tweet about this post for the heads up, but didn’t do so in the actual post. Apologies Derek and thanks for the heads up!

I don’t know if there were really that many great covers this week, or if I’m just feeling indecisive…but I have a bunch this week. Ironically in DC’s big first “52” week, only one of their covers makes my list:
Wolverine: Debt of Death by David Aja and Elizabeth Breitweizer:
Casanova: Avaritia #1 by Gabriel Ba:
The Punisher #3 by Brian Hitch:
Red Skull #3 by David Aja:
Animal Man #1 by Travel Foreman:

Aka “The Time Travel Cast”!
Head on over to CSBG to read the synopsis and get the link to the latest episode.
It’s a Secret Avengers kinda week around 1979 Semi-Finalist this week, what can I say?!
The following are panels I just could not decide between from Warren Ellis and Jamie McKelvie’s wonderful Secret Avengers #16:
Look at their faces! So great. Click to enbiggen!
Don't worry...Hank apologizes later.
heh.

So it’s not TECHNICALLY a flying car, but it’s still 100% badass. I want Jamie McKelvie to draw like 82% of my comics.

“The “Angel” series (and related books) at IDW were, for the most part, good and interesting books with compelling stories and solid creative teams, but somehow it feels comforting to have everything that goes with “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” safely housed under one publishing roof, Dark Horse. Already “Angel & Faith” feels more tightly tied to “Season 8” of “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” and I suspect all will be the better for it in the long run as well…”
