y vote goes solidly behind Criminal #6. I thought the first arc was really impressive and Bru is the type of writer that gets better as he goes along picking up momentum.

While Barda and Knockout do throw down like they were back on Apokolips, it's a small part of a huge six-on-six battle. Also, there's Rag Doll (Ragdoll?), whom Gail Simone obvious loves to write. While BoP was the only issue I bought, I'd also recommend <i>Fantastic Four</i>, because McDuffie brings in something that was alluded to briefly in Priest's run on <i>Black Panther</i>. You think Dwayne would go for a Johnny Storm/Kasper Cole teammup? Oh, yeah...there's Gravity, who's getting so popular, his zombie variant debuted a few weeks back.

For instance, Shadowpact is a perfectly fun comic. Some issues are even actively good, but I wouldn't put at at the same level as Blue Beetle or some of the other things we've suggested before. Wisdom's good but you'd be better off getting the trade. I don't remember if you read the Dr. Strange mini or not. honestly, my suggestions would be Fantastic Four. It's as fun as it's been in a while. McDuffie is a good writer, and while it's in the midst of an arc, you'll catch up quick, and it's all about the best new character Marvel debuted in the last ten years, Gravity. And then Cap, which is Brubaker writing a very good comic. And it's also a decent jumping on point after last issue. the hard part here is that with each one of these, the caliber of the comics we suggest to you had to inevitably go down a bit.

Birds of Prey - I am enjoying the Secret 6/BOP interactions and Simone is a steady writer. Shadowpact - good time to pick up the book as new story starts and it has Detective Chimp. Plus a lot of other DC faves such as Ragman and Blue Devil. Finally I recommend going back and getting all the Coyote Trades as the Steve Englehart and Steve Leialoha combo was good and the follow up artists did a good job as well. One of my favorite books.

Savage Dragon Archives vol. 2- I remember those old Dragon comics were lots of fun. One of the better comics during the 90s speculation boom. 2. Uncle Scrooge #366- I hardly see an all ages comic reviewed here. Try something new and fun. I used to get Scrooge, but once Gemstone and Geppi cancelled their cheaper books and boosted the price of these, I had to drop it.

I thought the first arc was really impressive and Bru is the type of writer that gets better as he goes along picking up momentum. Otherwise I'd recommend Shadowpact #12, which starts a new arc for the very off-beat team. The book is consistently solid, but I'm a huge Willingham fan. Its one of the quirker books out there, as it straddles general superhero stories with oddball mystics thrown in. It's one of those great "Tier 3" books (not a major title like Batman, but not quite secondary like Teen Titans...along the same lines as Checkmate and Catwoman)that is criminally underread. Captain America #26 could be great as well. I look forward to seeing Bru build the book around his supporting cast now that Cap is out of the picture. My vote goes solidly behind Criminal #6.
