Welcome to the November edition of the comiXtreme.com $40 Pull List!

Yes, we’re coming to you live once more from the bowels of the Spam Corporate Annex in Nanuktuk, Califon-i-a, and we’re ready for some football!

Or comics.

Umm… just a warning, I’m in a bit of a weird mood today. More so than normal…

Indeed. When are you not in an odd mood though?

In any case, let’s get on with the show!

October Issues

Jonah Hex #48, $2.99, DC Comics. Due Out 10/07/09 ON TIME 

Written by Justin Gray & Jimmy Palmiotti, Art by Cristiano Cucina, Colors by Rob Schwager

Hex confronts Chako Jones (who got his start way back in Jonah Hex #4!), who reveals he betrayed Hex to the assassin, who finally attack. Hex kills most of them, before getting vengeance on Chako (dead!) and fighting off the last of the killers. The next day, Black, Lash, and Lane try and piece together what happened the previous night, and why Jonah didn’t warn them about the betrayal.

Essentially, this issue was about Jonah bringing a gun to several knife fights, which seems a little unfair, until you factor in the whole “betrayed to assassins” thing. Rape is noticeably absent, their pretense being saved for the end part, I’m assuming.

Which is a shame, because this issue suffered a bit from being the end of the second act – there’s a lot of action, but it’s just all bluster as things build for the confrontation in the next issue – which should be awesome. Unfortunately, it makes this one seem slightly more hollow than your average issue of Hex.

This issue seemed like mostly payoff… which isn’t a bad thing. I’m enjoying the arc… despite the absence of Rape once again. Perhaps in the finalé.   But you are correct – it was the end of an act, and a passable end at that.

For those that don’t remember, way back in issue #4, Hex is hired to capture Chako Jones– who was accused of raping the daughter of the Mayor of Tall Pines. As we find out then – the Mayor himself was guilty of the rape, and he ended up paying the price. This issue, he meets his end

Yeah, I totally didn’t know that dude. I started reading this book back when you started doing this… almost three years ago. Dang.

Indeed. Jonah Hex has had a long and storied history on the Pull List – remaining the only title from the original List

Anyway, like I said, this was a bit light for my tastes, but it should be noted that a hollow issue of Hex is worth a penny saved or something, so I don’t regret the purchase.

It’s a strong mainstay… and continues this month to get the job done.

Moving on!

Rockin.

Ghost Riders: Heavens Fire #3 (of 6), $3.99, Marvel Comics. Due out 10/07/09 ON TIME 

Written by Jason Aaron, Pencils by Roland Boschi, Colors by Dan Brown

Ketch and Blaze argue about what course of action to take. Just as Blaze is about to leave, Ketch is run down and we get a brief flashback . The two Ghost Riders chase down the vehicle that ran over Danny, which turns out to be Big Wheel. Danny is attached by a possessed crane, and he defeats the demon. In the end, the “Gun Nuns” prepare to defend the gateway.

Let’s go through that one more time: in this issue, the Ghost Riders were attacked by Big Wheel (a dude in a big wheel), Trull the Mighty (a formless conqueror who came down to earth years ago to… well, conquer, and decided that the best course of action would be to possess a giant crane.

And we haven’t even gotten to the part where they have to go heaven to take down a rogue angel, who is trying to rid the world of the anti-Christ… which the Ghost Riders must now protect. The only thing that could make this book better is a lower price point, but with sales being what they are on this book, I’ll take this mini as a way of ending Jason Aaron’s run all good and proper, rather than getting something rushed into the span of a couple of issues.

You did forget the Gun Nuns… that was ten kinds of awesome. Why are nuns in comic books always sexy and in skin-tight habits?

REAL looking nuns would have been way cooler.

I suppose. But hey, they’re liberal enough to have machine guns and such…. maybe liberal enough to be super sexy and what.

I suppose. But still, an old Nun with a machine gun would have been killer. Anyway, this title is awesome. I don’t understand why people aren’t more into this.

Moving on!

Batman and Robin #5, $2.99, DC Comics Due Out 10/07/09 ON TIME 

Written by Grant Morrison, Art by Philip Tan, Inks by Jonathan Glapion, Colors by Alex Sinclair

Batman and Robin tangle with Red Hood and Scarlet, and they ultimately survive the attack and make their escape. Todd reveals the basis of his “branding” approach to Red Hood (and that he is really a ginger, and Batman “made” him dye his hair to look like Dick Grayson??).

The police find a bloody scene on an airplane where a man named “Flamingo” peeled the faces from his victims and ate them. Flamingo turns out to be a mob enforcer sent to end the Red Hood for his actions – and in the end, the two meet.

I really enjoyed the whole “viral marketing” approach Jason is taking in this book. A bunch of comic book writers and companies have been on the viral wagon for quite a while – not to mention movies that are now pumping weird little bonuses out there, whether it be through tv commercials, the yourfaceinatubes, or what-have-you. Having a “hero” do it is a smart idea – and definitely keeps with Jason’s whole accelerated system of punishment when it comes to criminals in general.

Like last issue, this one wasn’t terrible. I am not a really big fan of Morrison’s twists in Jason Todd’s character – but I suppose that is easy to ignore. The story was good – the art, not so much. Still better than it was, but it isn’t good. It has moments, but the feel overall lends itself more to jumbled, scribbly, confusion than it does to storytelling. Jason is a villain for the modern era though – despite some  stand-out flaws, there are some strong ideas there as well.

Oh – and I’m going to forgo the part where I tell you that you’re wrong about the art of Frank Quietly on this book this week – if only for the fact that both Batman and Robin do not appear to have lips on the cover of this very issue.

Seriously, look at them.

How are they supposed to make out, like the old Batman and Robin?

This. Will. Not. STAND.

This is the Aughts – there is no making out. Kissing wastes time.

And Quietley was horrible on this book. I’ll take missing lips for semi-clear characters. A 6 year old could do a better job with the art if they had a 64 pack of Crayolas.

Seems par for the course with Morrison for me these days though – he has some strong ideas, but he also has some real stinkers. You always have to take the good with the bad here.

Green Lantern Corps #41, $2.99, DC Comics Due Out 10/14/09  ON TIME 

Written by Peter J. Tomasi, Pencils by Patrick Gleason, Inks by Rebecca Buckman, Tom Nguyen, and Prentis Rollins, Colors by Randy Mayor and Gabe Eltaeb 

Soranik and Iolande defend against a Black Lantern infestation in the infirmary, but they are ultimately unsuccessful. In the fight, Soranik transports the wounded to Mogo. Iolande takes over the caravan when Soranik sees that Kyle is taking the worst of Black Lantern Jade’s attack, and moves to assist. Arisia confronts Black Lantern versions of her own family in the Hall of Lanterns, and defeats them, sending three Black Rings flying. Kilowog confronts a Black Lantern Ermey, the legendary Green Lantern that trained him.

So, let’s translate this into how I read this issue. Doctor Boobs is all defending these dying corps members, Guy deals with Horns McGuffin and the insect dude, Kyle gets raped by his ex, and Skirty-Hoosits gets into some troubles with her family, including an odd panel of her falling with her legs wide and her dad being, like… right there. The Poozemiester punches some dudes and an Indigo Lantern appears.

I did forget to mention Black Lantern Rape… my bad!

It’s almost as if you’re ashamed of Rape Craig. Never be ashamed of Rape.

Granted, I just covered the same ground Craig just did, but really, I had no clue who he was talking about.

I should really get a chart going, for this book and Nova, and pop it up on the next edition.

Really, the only thing wrong with this book is the sheer amount of chaos. There are so many strong characters, and so few panels to give them all justice. There were some art ticks – I have to admit there were a couple times where some of the male Lanterns were tough to distinguish, but I still stand by my position that this is the real Blackest Night story – that other shame is just cage lining.

It’s selling miles below both Green Lantern and Blackest Night, which really sucks. I kind’ve understand why this wasn’t the main story, as it’s focused down onto a core (albeit large) cast, whereas the other books are more concerned about the broad strokes. What we’re ending up with is a story here, where you feel attached to the characters and this story’s outcome for them, while elsewhere, the proceedings are too cold and broad to really start caring about certain characters – that is, unless you were already a fan of that particular brand of Firestorm or Aqua-person or whatever.

I am ashamed of Rape! His appearances of late have been WEAK! I like my villains strong and manly, not pansy and metrosexual. Imagine… Rape asking for permission.

The fact that of the three, this title sells the least out of the event just proves to me that comic fans remain idiots. Granted, All Star Batman’s Sales convinced me of that long ago, but this remains further proof.

The only time that sould happen is if he was asking permission to be straight up BADASS before giving someone the business.

There are exceptions to every rule, of course.

Anyway – on to the best issue of the month…

Nomad: Girl Without a World #2 (of 4), $3.99, Marvel Comics. Due Out 10/14/09 ON TIME

Written by Sean McKeever, Pencils by David Baldeon, Colors by Chris Sotomayor

Rikki talks about Desmond Daniels’ strange influence over some of the other students. Just as she makes a real connection with another student named John, Flag-Smasher blows up an Army Recruiting Center across the street. Nomad leaps into action, and does well – until Flag-Smasher sets some rubble falling towards some civilians. Nomad moves to make the save, and Flag-Smasher beats a retreat – only to be stopped by Falcon.

Back in school, Desmond Daniels interrupts class with an impromptu speech – and we learn that a group known as The Secret Empire are, in part, behind his actions. Rikki finally visits John after he gets out of the hospital, and he makes his move, but Rikki dishes out the most violent and crushing of rejections… “You are like a brother to me.” The end of the issue finds John joining up with a group of Desmond’s most radical supporters.

We covered this when McKeever’s Teen Titans were on this list, but Sean’s work at DC? I don’t think it worked out quite well. This book is a definite return to form, and this issue, I would say, is even better than the first.

And can I just say? Kudos on the level of awkwardness present in this title. There are some hard-fought moments here, and none of them feel schmaltzy.

I honestly love the hero coming in and beating up the guy doing the soap-boxing in the comic. Too often these days, comic writers use their story as a platform for their own preaching – here it’s the villain, and he gets wasted. Just the image I was waiting for.

But then again – Desmond Daniels is seeming a lot like Barack Obama. While I find the parallels between he and his supporters and Obama and his amusing, I don’t necessarily need my politics in comics. HOWEVER – if it is going to be done, I like it subtle, and this definitely is. There are parallels, but it could be purely coincidental. So, as politics in comics go, if we are going to have it, I’d rather it be like this.

This series is outstanding, plain and simple. The pacing is perfect (meaning, things actually happen, and we don’t get padding described as “deliberate pacing”), the story is engaging, and there is a perfect balance between Nomad’s costumed life and her “secret identity.” McKeever’s doing an awesome job on this book – it is a great example that more comics should follow. Sadly, since it isn’t crap, it means that no one will buy it and after the title ends the concept will fade into obscurity. At least we will get these 4 issues. It is worth noting that Marvel has no mention of Nomad #3 on their site at all. There is a listing for #4 in December, but #3 is non-existent. Frustrating.

You know, I honestly didn’t get the Obama-vibe… I can certainly see the parallel (Nobel Peace Prize, anyone?) but this to me just seemed like more of the story than anything else.

Starting in January, this character gets a back-up in the pages of Ed Brubaker’s Cap, written and drawn by this team. Seriously, it’s the best thing Marvel could do for this book.

But as I said – easily the best issue of the month. High praise for your object of affection.

*waves coy at Sean*

Indeed. That might be a reason to check out Cap once again.

Agreed!

Seriously – this is a well done comic book… if you ain’t buying it, you are a retard.

Deadpool: Merc With a Mouth #4, $2.99, Marvel Comics. Due Out 10/21/09 ON TIME

Written by Victor Gishler, Art by Bong Dazo, Colors by Matt Milla, Inks by José Pimentel 

Deadpool faces off against the Zombie T-Rex while Doctor betty flees with the head of Zombie Deadpool. Deadpool barely survives, thanks to the assist from an AIM orbital weapons platform named Prometheus. The reunited duo-and-a-half escape aboard a HYDRA lander, and Hydra moves in to intercept.

Okay – despite many posts that seem to state the contrary, I’m totally a dude who is into the females. I enjoy the gentle clatter of their boozums just as much as the next guy. But seriously? Seriously. The panty-shots are getting to be a bit much, and are distracting me from an otherwise fairly decent story about Deadpool fighting a zombie T-Rex. This, in good conscience, should not be happening.

I have to say, if we’re dropping any books this month… I’m really ready to let this one go. It’s definitely okay, but it languishes in the pile until I absolutely have to read it… which is a recipe for a dropped book, IMO.

On the opposite end of the spectrum (From Nomad) is this book – I am enjoying it, but there is so much fluff here it is laughable. The nudity seems to be in the same realm as Bomb Queen honestly – sarcastic, little more, but I will agree it has been quite overdone. Otherwise – the book is funny, but I will agree with you that it is something I could do without.

I am willing to continue with it for the time being, however.

Invincible Iron Man #19, $2.99, Marvel Comics. Due Out 10/21/09 ON TIME 

Written by Matt Fraction, Art by Salvador Larroca, Colors by Frank D’Armata

Pepper’s switch is revealed, but not before she puts her rescue plan into effect. Osborne closes in on Tony Stark, and engages the old Mark 0 suit. JARVIS slipped a feed of Osborne’s attack to the media, the realization of which prevents him from dealing the killing blow. Tony’s brain damage takes it final turn, and he slips into a vegetative state. Osborne attempts to have the pug pulled, but he is prevented in doing so by Stark’s living will – which grants power of attorney to Dr. Donald Blake, Thor’s mortal alter ego.

Yes! I would say this is exactly what I wanted from this arc’s end, but that would be a lie. I had no idea how Fraction was going to pull all of this off – but he did, and he did a darned good job doing so, touching on a bit of business earlier in the arc in the form of Tony’s living will.

Tony clearly wanted to pull this mission without help – perfectly believable, considering the fact that he’s a very proud man, and this whole entire mess was his fault. But to have the foresight to reach out to his friends – putting his faith in them to know what to do after he’s made sure they’re safe… that’s just smart. And the Black Widow/Maria Hill/Pepper Potts stuff was top notch too. I definitely can’t wait for the next issue of this book.

It is an interesting ending – the only trouble I have is that the issue didn’t ahve the punch of an ending. The end of the issue FELT like a to be continued, and as lazily as this arc has been progressing, we needed something with a little more oomph.

I can’t agree more – he has handled Hill and Potts with incredible grace… Black Widow seems like an afterthought, but she is a welcome addition.

Overall, I really can’t complain though. The story, while slow, has been outstanding. I still can’t believe I like an   Iron Man book this much.

Same here. Between Fraction, Aaron and McKeever, I think I’ve managed to get all my man crushes onto this list…

Indeed you have!

Power Girl #6, $2.99, DC Comics. Due out 10/21/09 ON TIME 

Written by Jimmy Palmiotti & Justin Gray, Art by Amanda Conner, Colors by Paul Mounts

We find out that the three alien women are in fact the daughters of an Emperor on Vega 7, and the man attempting to apprehend them was something of a minder. The Minder eventually tracks the girls to Atlantic City, where they get involved with a mobster who has been marked for death. Of course, it is all sorted out in the end, and the alien castaways are set up in Rio.

As always, this book is just plain old fashioned fun. Unfortunately for me, it’s not really hitting anywhere in my wheelhouse – which might surprise some of you, considering a chunk of this issue is devoted to more feminine pursuits.

My kind of fun is taking place in Ghost Riders right now – and could very well take place in this title in the future.

A tip? Have Power Girl hire Abraham Lincoln as your fashion/crazy science advisor. I’m giving you that for free, boys. Run with it.

(By the way – when I win a bajillion dollars? I’m making that Abe Lincoln thing happen for me.)

I actually rate this book alongside Deadpool actually. But its done much better. Pure fluff and fun. It is going to get to the point where we need to pick one, and of the two, I think Power Girl is going to win.

Still – I find myself with little to say about this issue. There was so little tension. Fun, but nothing to really write about.

I strongly endorse Abe Lincoln.

As should we all, Craig.

As should we all.

I am not sure I endorse Power Girl with a long black beard though…

Avengers: The Initiative #29, $2.99, Marvel Comics. Due Out 10/28/09 ON TIME 

Written by Christos N. Gage, Pencils by Rafa Sandoval, Inks by Roger Bonet, Colors by Edgar Delgado. 

A captured Night Thrasher (Donyell) is presented with a deal by Norman Osborne – who claims he can bring his brother (Dwayne) back to life, but for a price. Tigra interrogates Razor-fist in an effort to find Donyell, but is finally aided by a newly human Komodo. Trauma, tired of manipulating Robbie Baldwin, confronts The Hood and demands he hold up his part of the deal, or he would be through. After a brief fight, Taskmaster diffuses the situation. Constrictor has a brush with true heroism. Cloud 9 is reprimanded for failing to kill Night Thrasher, Prodigy is alive and imprisoned, and the New Warriors attack in an effort to free Night Thrasher. Finally, something happens to Trauma, and a new entity emerges, calling itself Nightmare.

Which, I am assuming is Trauma possessed by the Doc Strange/Ghost Rider/Incredible Herc villain called Nightmare. But that’s just me being a jerk to Craig.

This book has bounced back nicely after what I thought was a rocky ride through the immediate after effects of Secret Invasion. The attention remains divided amoung several characters, but with a heaping helping of forward momentum for all – excluding fake Speedball, but whatever.

The Trauma angle troubles me. I have said many times before that this title has done an amazing job dishing out a strong story despite Marvel’s Event-mania constantly disrupting the story flow. This was keenly felt in the wake of Secret Invasion – so many stories scattering all these characters to the winds. This issue, however..

finally seemed to be sorting everything out, and approaching a resolution. And then they spring the Trauma possession as a cliffhanger like that. This is not the time for more questions, it is the time for pay-off!

Great issue, dampened by the ending.

And I am glad Prodigy still lives, else I would have to bust some ass.

Agreed – although, I’m definitely willing to see how that ending plays out.

Oh, as am I. This book still has a lot of goodwill in my eyes. Just kevetching…

Nova #30, $2.99, Marvel Comics. Due Out 10/28/09 ON TIME 

Written by Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning, Pencils by Kevin Sharpe, Inks by Nelson Pereira, Colors by Bruno Hang.

Richard and the other Novas attack the Mindless Ones, while the remaining Corpsmen fight off an attack from Ego, who is attempting to shrug them off. We find out a little more about Starstalker after the “Minded One” breaks out of his cell and blows a hole through his chest. Richard manages to dump all the Mindless ones into a Stargate, and Worldmind successfully downloads herself into the Resolute. Ego goes after the refugees in the shuttle, but is stopped when the Mindless Ones appear inside him and begin to attack. In the end, Richard invites Philo to remain as a trainer for the Probationaries. Finally, the Resolute receives a telepathic summons to capture Darkhawk (On behalf of the Shi’ar).

In keeping with my annotations of the space books on this list, here’s my little summary of the book’s events. Our Nova starts fighting these Mindless Ones lookalikes while Gay Falconer hits on the girl with the overly large head. Then he and Green Skin and Douche Ponytail head out and punch stuff. Meanwhile, Ego’s acting up and such, and Worldmind is dropping sass. Problems get solved when Nova folds the two together, and find a neat solution for all.

Looks like we’re still saying this one is a great bet (it is), without much to add.

YOu really need to work on your Nova names I think… your Green Lantern Corps names are much more entertaining.

Indeed. She’s awesome. Moving on.

Man, when I get to the end of these things, I get a little tired. :) I’ll get some better ones ready for next time.

You’d best!

It would seem my Wolverine Cover has vanished! I think we can do without.

Wolverine: Weapon X #6, $3.99, Marvel Comics. Due Out 10/28/09 ON TIME

Written by Jason Aaron, Pencils by Yanick Paquette, Inks by Michael Lacombe, Color by Nathan Fairbairn.

Well, the “Previously” page is a little intimidating – but at least there is one. We start with Logan in a straightjacket, in an insane asylum, suffering from amnesia. Well, not the usual kind… he has remembers little at all, and what memories he has of his actual life seems too fantastic to be real. After an incident, Logan is allowed to roam free again, but soon wonders into an area of the sanatorium that is deemed off limits. One of the inmates attempts to escape – and Logan finds him the next day with a vicious line of stitches across his skull. Meanwhile, the patients are given a variety of “medicine” in the form of buttons, an eraser, jelly beans, and life savers.

One patient is reluctantly released – but returns 6 hours later with a sack of human brains for his doctor.

See, the thing I like about Jason Aaron’s Wolverine stories… in opposition to all other Wolverine stories… is the fact that he at least tries to find a different story.

Different definitely describes this. I am not sure I like it though… but I am chalking most of my problems up to missing the previous issue.

I’m definitely willing to give this one a few more issues.

Not entirely. You need to know nothing coming into this story. Nothing carries over, really. It’s just Wolverine in a horror story, it seems.

Yeah – it wasn’t one of those instances where the lack of knowlege really hurt the story, but how Logan got there and why he has no memory isn’t really addressed.

Anyway – that’s our last issue of the month – on to next month’s titles!

The Math

$2.89 (Bank from October) + $40 (November Budget) = $42.89

$42.89  - $33.90  (November  issues) – $2.63 (tax) = $6.36 Banked for December

- The Chopping Block & New Titles

Well, thanks to Power Girl going on hiatus for a month in November, and despite Invincible Iron Man jumping to $3.99 for this coming month, we have plenty of room for a new book without having to cut. Huzzah! So, unless there is something you want to drop…

Urmm… nothing I feel super passionate about. All these books are solid enough to let ride another month.

New Titles

Doctor Horrible #1, $3.50, DC Comics. Due Out 11/18/09 

Here is my thinking on this one – We seem to have a solid group of titles right now – the only one I am uncertain about is Wolverine: Weapon X… which is a new book, and deserves a month. Ghost Riders has a few months left, and Nomad has 2, so we will be missing a few minis early next year. Plus, at this price point, this means that next month, after Power Girl Returns and Iron Man drops back to its regular price, we will have enough in the bank to ride out December without having to drop a title – giving us breathing room until January when Nomad is over.

Holding off on a change seems like the best move. This issue is a one-shot, and looks like a bit of fun. Your thoughts?

I’m in. Dr. Horrible was freaking awesome, and more from that universe makes me happy. Apparently, when they got their junk together, a sequel is in the works.

That is what I hear – and the Captain Hammer short in MySpace Presents Dark Horse was decent. I think this will be a great diversion.

With that –

Nice. Hey, so it looks like the Phillies score the most touchdowns!

They are my favourite. I hope they score all the touchdowns.

Something like that.

I figured we had so many LOYAL readers who decided to watch this instead of the World Series, that I would post the scores.

Thank all of you for choosing us!

They are my favourite. I hope they score all the touchdowns.

Well, they scored the ones that mattered this time, my fine Canadian partner.

But that game is over, and so is this column.

Awesome! And in record time, or something!

Thanks for reading! And you suckers that watched the game, you can still comment if you like. We promise not to make fun of you.

Stay frosty hosers!

Indeed. 47 Minutes and we out! Goodnight!
