Also out this week:
BPRD BLACK GODDESS #2

Smile Pile 1.14.09

It’s been a while since I’ve done a Smile Pile, but consider this my way of telling you guys we ARE gonna have an episode this week.  Things are just a bit delayed coz we’ve got some junk going on in the real world.
The first volume of Locke and Key was one of our favorite [...]

Smile Pile 12.17.08

Spider-man goes noir-ish in this new Elseworlds-esque thing Marvel’s playing around with.  I have no idea what to expect, but it the X-Men thingamagoogle was any indication, this should be pretty sweet.
Also out this week:
FEAR AGENT #25  (ending at #32… NOOOOO!!!)
ROBIN #181
TERRA #4 (OF 4)
X-FILES #2 (OF 6)
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #581

Smile Pile 12.10.08

In the previous issue, Secret Six #3, our favorite villains somehow got their hands on a “Get out of hell free” card made by the devil himself!  This issue fills us in on exactly how a team of baddies reacts to a revelation like that, not to mention a whole cadre of other evildoers who [...]

Smile Pile 11.26.08

Batman #680 seems to have ended with us finding out who the black glove really is and the caped crusader falling into the apparently conniving clutches of one Jezebel Jet. Batman #681 comes out this week and concludes the R.I.P. storyline. I have no idea what to expect from EJ and Alex, but [...]

Smile Pile 11.19.08

Deadpool #3 ended with Wade giving Nick Fury the old switcheroo involving some apparently vital Skrull data.  Who did he give it all to?  Why, only the most trustworthy civilian in the Marvel U, Norman Osborne! Duh! D’oh!
Also out this week:
ROBIN #180 (last issue?)
TERRA #2 (OF 4) (BOOBIES!)
X-FILES #1 (OF 6)

Smile Pile 11.12.08

I am loving the Old Man Logan storyline by Millar and McNiven, so I can’t wait for Wolverine #69 to hit the stand this week.  The last issue revealed the intentions of Hawkeye’s daughter/Rosario Dawson, so let’s see what Wolverine/Samurai X/Gandhi decides to do about it!!!
Not a big week for Marvel as far as I [...]

Smile Pile 11.05.08

For a lady, Amanda Conner draws some pretty hot superheroines, which is reason enough for me to look forward to Terra #1 (of 4) coming out this week. Just take a look at those boulders! Geddit?!? Badonk-adonk!

GIGANTIC #1 (OF 5) (RICK REMENDER FTW!!!)
SECRET SIX #3

Smile Pile 10.29.08

I honestly don’t know anyone who isn’t enjoying the current Thor run, and I have in fact never been a fan of the guy. Stracszynski and Coipel, what a team. Thor #11 comes out this week and I absolutely cannot wait.

SUPERMAN BATMAN #53
MARVEL 1985 #6 (OF 6)

Smile Pile 10.22.08

Here’s what I’m looking forward to this week

Fear Agent just kicks so much ass. I don’t understand why EJ and Alex don’t read this title. Fuckin’ nazis.
