I don't do weekly, but I just got my shipment for the second half of June. Hands down, Manhunter #23, followed by Young Avengers #12 and Catwoman #56.

This week: the Alter Ego Collection vol. 1...
cool articles about stuff like the creation of the Silver Age Atom (including letters from Gardner Fox and Julie Schwartz!), interview with Golden Age artist Irwin Hasen, and the creation of Infinity Inc. as remembered by Roy Thomas and Jerry Ordway! Great stuff.
Last week: Daredevil (err... Daredevil was last week, wasn't it...?) Easily my favorite Marvel book, currently... and one of the best current books in general.

52 is tops for me right now. Not just weekly but overall. I'm totally sucked in by the mysteries (as most of you know).
TT #37 was good too.

I would have to say Detective Comics #821.
Dini knows his Batman. And his comic book version of bats is alot darker then I expected. His Batman is a ture dectective though and I liked the one issue story.
And what can you say about the artwork. Spectular. Awesome. Mind blowing.
my pick of the week with Titans and 52 behind that.

This week was a tough pick, but I'm going to give it to Superman #654. It's a sweet story, and it really has the feel of what a Superman story should be.
52 and GL were very close on its heels, however.

I'm two weeks behind, maybe three...  I get my midmonth books next Monday, though, so I can sit down with whatever batch of 52 I end up with and read them all at once! Woohoo!

Book of the week for 7/5= UNCANNY X-MEN 475 (with TEEN TITANS 37 a *very* close second).
However, my CBS ran out of BEYOND #1 and the last issue of ARES, so I still haven't read either of them.
Book of the week for 7/12= ESCAPISTS #1. Second place would be either CIVIL WAR FRONTLINE 3 or THUNDERBOLTS 104.

7/12 I'll say Superman 654. Nice set up for a multipart story, yet it told a complete little day in the life as well.

7/19 for me.... Jack Kirby's Galactic Bounty Hunters! This book is a blast from the Silver Age past. Created by his daughter, using Jack's never published characters and artwork, fleshed out by the likes of Karl Kesel and others. Looks like it may be a mini series which is awesome. It had a smile on my face the entire time I was reading it. Reminded me of just how much fun comic books were back then, even if they were cheesy!

7/26-- I think I'm going to go with Batman #655. Not quite as groovy as Morrison's take on Superman in A-SS, but still pretty cool. I mean... who could fail to love a comic with ninja man-bats?

Only four books for me this week. And two of them are at their lowest points.
7/26- 52 has it in a single bound!
Just spouting off.

8/9- Just because I'd be saying 52 again for the third straight week as well. I'll say Martian Manhunter. The fact I liked it was shocking because I didn't expect to.

8/9 - Supergirl
This pulls the entire story together and ties back into that great Superman/Batman arc that showcased the LSV. Saturn Queen is prominently featured throughout the issue and there is even a mention of the Legion!

Well I won't get my books for another two weeks (stupid five Wednesday month) but I did browse a few and have to say
8/9 - Arion of Atlantis made Superman #655 my pick.

Didn't he get killed off fairly pointlessly in JSA a couple of years back when Mordru nicked his body?

Nothing like complicating a fresh start right out of the gate. But I always liked Arion so I'm interested to see where this new story goes.

Arion: "Dah whatdya mean i'm dead. More work."
The Arion appearance was cool, but was he ever portrayed as a womanizer before? And as an immortal womanizer wouldn't you get bored of it after a while?

But again how many writers do you think are taking advantage of the Crisis in putting their spin on characters? We'll likely see a lot of heroes/villains acting "out of character".

JLA#1 for me. Flash #3 was pretty good too.
52 was not a good week for me....I think it was one of the weakest of the lot.

I'm behind a little, but for the week of 8/16, its a tie between 52 and Ultimate Fantastic Four. I am of course far to lazy to remember what issue numbers each was. It'll take me another week to catch up to you guys for 8/23...

8/23 Justice League #1 although I hope <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Red Tornado goes back to his Robot Body</span></span>
I also liked Batman versus the Mad Monk even though this is just a re-write of a Golden Age story.

All-Star Superman was EXCELLENT this week! I loved this issue. I have to say, I'd wish we'd see more of this Grant Morrison than what we've seen the last few years.
52 didn't do much for me this week. The abrupt shifts in stories are starting to kill my buzz.

52 moves back into the top spot. Generated lots of excitement for me with some of the reveals.
Followed closely by GI Joe: Declassified, any fan of Hamas original run will enjoy this. So much better than any DDP has put out to date.
Also, JLU was fun this week.

For last week, UNCLE SAM AND THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS #2 lingers in my memory more than anything else I read.
For this week, I'll give my nod to UNCANNY X-MEN #478, which features Lorna Dane (a sentimental favorite) in a costume similar to her most classic one on the cover AND has her acting competently, remembering her past with the team, though she's still learning to use her powers (a constant for this character, evidently).

This week, Mystery in Space just edges Agents of Atlas.

Well if'n my comics shop hadn't cocked up it would have been Phonogram #2 but since they did it's Fables #53. Because that's the only thing I bought. I haven't actually read it yet but I'm sure it'll be good and even if it isn't it has no competition.

9/20-- While I'm tempted to go with 52 once again, for the introduction of a certain Legion-related character, I'm actually going to give it to SHADOWPACT #5.

I'm a little messed up on weeks, but I think I have it right  : 9/13 - a tie between Green Lantern #13 and Captain America. The top tier of the comics market right now. 9/20 - a tie between Aquaman #44 and Incredible Hulk #98. I'm shocked at how awesome both these books are. 9/27 - don't have 'em yet.

Teen Titans for me. Although the evil of Luthor's action was worth the price of admission in 52.

I'm going for Detective this week. I'm totally digging the reformed Bat-villains!

Another week 52, IMO.
However, my vote for this week is Nightwing #125!
For the first time since the early thirties of this title I picked up a single issue and I enjoyed it. In one line of narrative, Marv managed to convey what many of us feel that this character should be.
As for Raptor, reread this issue. Dick's problems weren't necessarily due to Raptor being competent but an outside agency forcing Dick's luck to sour to try to rectify his surviving the last Crisis.
And is this the first time they've shown where he actually keeps his escrima sticks and grapple? I've always wondered where he keeps everything but this is the first time I've ever seen that kind of attention to detail to his costume.

Jamie, he's been shown to store the sticks on his back, and his grapple and stuff has been stored in his gloves & boots. Look at McDaniel's earlier work on the title; the gloves and boots were always bulkier than the skin tight unitard look Dick's had since.
Just spouting off.

Thanks. I didn't know if I just didn't remember it, or it just hadn't been addressed before.

I'm with CJ, the Question's quote really made this issue.
I also picked up the Thing trade and this probably topped my list of favorite reads this week, although it's been out a while. Man, this series was FUN...even moreso than She-Hulk.
Slott really needs to move over to DC and write us some JLI stories....

9/27 - Teen Titans.
10/4 - Tie - I'm going to say Action Comics. It was just a great Superman super-hero story, and its refreshing to have Kurt Busiek give us that after so many years of crap Superman stories. The other one is Hulk #99, which was kick-ass. Planet Hulk rocks!
10/11 - haven't read them yet...

Tough call between Fables and Fallen Angel, but since Fables is mostly set-up (even if Hansel's tale is a full story in itself) pick of the week goes to Fallen Angel which was excellent as always.

It's a tough call this week for me, especially since Denver didn't get any S&LOSH either.
HAWKGIRL - finally statred looking good OYL
ION - Kyle Rayner is getting some props
PLANETARY - ended with in a blaze of glory
MOUSE GUARD - set up for a hell of a throw down
SECRET SIX - gave us a throw down and promised more
JUSTICE - showed the League at it's worst
You make the call...
Just spouting off.

It was close between Legion but I'm going to have to go with Uncle Sam & FF.

Mystery in Space for me, as this seems to be leading into the next big DC event.
52 was a close second, with Nightwing right behind.

Just curious, but since this is a timely thread, would it make sense to highlight it like the reccommendations thread?
11/8: 52 - not for any incredible moments, just some great small moments (Ralph at Sue's murder, Renee asking Vic "why me".)

I only got Fables #50-something and Phonogram #3 (although I also got Civil Wardrobe in the post too). Both very, very good but I think Phonogram sneaks it partially because the story has got really intriguing and partially because I so recognise myself in the last few pages. Plus Jamie is just absolutely knocking out blinding artwork at the moment.

It was light week for me, I'll say Franklin Richards as a 3$ book.
But I did get both the Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall and Pride of Baghdad. With the holidays coming up I recommend either of these as gifts for anyone who likes the comics or graphical arts. ****Note neither book is appropriate for kids.

This week:
52, but runner-up is definately Annhilation #4. Probably the coolest Drax/Thanos scenes I've ever read.
And 52 is gotten even better lately! Great stuff.

BoP #100 by a mile. Really, really fantastic issue. If this is the new status quo for the Birds then I can live with it. It'll also be really nice if we continue to get little back up stories with Dinah even if she's not part of the main group.

JSA #1 for me. I was on the fence about this book but boy am I glad I got it.
52 is a distant second and Beyond! was a surprising third when all stands revealed.

I've just begun reading four weeks of comics. I can already tell you what will win out of all four:
All-Star Superman #6. Perhaps the best Superman story I've ever read. Definately one of the best comic books I read in years. I admit it: I teared up.

Anyone get anything better than JSA #2 this week?

If any comic this year is better than ASS#6 I will personally buy the ASS hardcover, put it through a shredder and eat it.
Book of the week was hard this week. I loved JSA, 52 and Green Lantern Corps. I need to let it settle for a few days.

OK, the die has been cast. The bar has been raised for comics in 2007: I'd be shocked, shocked if any one comic can beat ASS#6 for best comic of 2007. Let's see if that happens, since if it does, we'll only benefit from it.

ASS#6 is definitely best-of-the-year material.
JSA #2 this week. But I am also really impressed with the potential of Welcome to Tranquility by Gail Simone and Neil Googe.
Why are you laughing at me? It's unkind, as well as puzzling!

*sigh* I never get to participate here because I usually buy my comics once a month-to-six weeks.

Hmm... maybe we should have a comic-of-the-month thread, as well?

Spirit #2 was awesome but, I have to admit, Fantastic Four #542 won it out for me this week. Maybe it's because JMS is gone (ThanktheLordamen) and Reed's not a horrible father anymore and Johnny is (a bit mature but) awesome and the kids were, y'know, kids. It just worked for me. Especially the Thinker. He cracked me up, man. FF really struck me in a way that I hadn't felt since Waid left. Others that I loved were Cable/Deadpool, Spider-Man: Reign, Shadowpact and Wisdom. Especially that last one.

The best thing I read was the first Walking Dead trade.
For new books- I'd have to say C&DP gave me the most fun.
Just spouting off.

Fifty Two
Were at the 3/4 pole and the drama is just wrenching. Montoya's journey from the bottle in week one has been incredible.

It was going to be Annihilation #6, pretty much by default as the only thing worth even looking at. Then I saw Ghost Rider #94, the "lost" Finale to the 90s series and picked it up on a whim, mostly because I had a couple of quid spare and it uses the old trade dress that I have a soft spot for.
Even not having read the preceding issues (evah), marvellous. Reprints #93 as well as the previously unprinted #94, and it is GREAT.

Nodwick 36: the conclusion of The Baphuma'al Saga, and the last issue (at least for the foreseeable future) of the Nodwick comic book, as Aaron Williams will be devoting most of his attention to P.S.238 (hopefully going *monthly*! Oh, joy! Oh, rapture!!)
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"

Having thought about it for a bit, I'm going with The Vault of Michael Allred #4. Not a story, but just some beautiful artwork.

Of the books I got this past week, I'll go with Sandman Mystery Theatre (#1 & 2). People sharing dreams, invading others' dreams, real-world violence, some hint at a future catastrophe in Chicago, what looks to be the last stand of a great Golden Age character, and a hero successor who doesn't want the part and a "what's real and what's not" theme. Even the two precocious children were tolerable.
Holy Cats of Egypt!

2/21: ION has it this week. Just seeing Kyle and Donna together makes me smile. Throw in the hints about DCU's future and I'm a happy camper.
Just spouting off.

Got to go with The Spirit #3.
Cooke continues to wow me with each issue.
It's just good comics, plain and simple.

Powers 23 Bendis and Oeming continue to hit out the park. I still say this is the best book he writes. Alias being a close second.

I have to give it to Brave & the Bold. The Spirit didn't grab me quite like the first two issues did.

3/07 - Jonah Hex #17. The conclusion of the Talullah Black story is as intense as the opening shot. GrayPal are making this one of DC's best.
Just spouting off.

I only got Justice League #6 and newuniversal #4. newuniversal is definitely the best. I can't believe I'm enjoying a Warren Ellis this much.

3/21 - ION #12- the last in a great mini. Plenty to lead in to the upcoming DCU drama. And Marz writes a sympathetic Kyle.

I'm throwing in with Will Magnus for best dressed of the week. 52 and All Star Superman had that kookie acid tripppy feel I love from Morrison. I would so go out and buy my tickets for the Metal Men movie today if he was writing it.
BTW my DSL is still out and I am now on a modem until they figure out what is wrong... but comicswise it was a pretty solid week.

Mystery in Space #8 for me. Enjoyable, though Starlin's art on Comet isn't as good as either Davis or Lim's.
