Perhaps Countdown to Mystery WON'T suck. Then again, it's no longer the "Dr. Fate" ongoing we were promised months ago before the massive letdown that was "Helmet of Fate". And, of course, it's got the word "Countdown" in the title. But I'd give it a shot. Shadowpact #17

I'm sort of interested in Countdown to Adventure and Marvel Comics Presents, but everything else is a big miss for me. What's Sluggy Freelance? Are either of those 30 Days of Night comics the one with Sienkiewicz art? After reading the shipping list again, I don't think I'm going to go in to the shop tomorrow.

I didn't find the FCBD preview of Umbrella Academy that compelling either. Maybe it was just the Gabriel Ba art, but the whole thing just felt pretty derivative of Matt Fraction to me, except not as clever. Then again, who knows, it could be amazing.

It's one of the best series DC's publishing, in my opinion, and this issue is a standalone issue written by Tony Bedard. Also, the second issue of Johnny Hiro from AdHouse Books comes out this week. The first issue was a wonderful pastiche/homage to Asian pop culture, and the second issue looks to be more of the same. I highly recommend it too. I'd recommend Birds Of Prey #110.

It's not a reflection on your art, sir, which was very good in the first issue. Sheesh, now artists are showing up to berate me BEFORE I can even get to their books!

As previously mentioned, great art no matter what. The writer has already stated that he's inspired by the Grant Morrison Doom Patrol, but when I read the FCBD mini-issue, it felt like he still had his own voice and wasn't just trying to be as weird as possible. It was sort of like a kiddie "somebody learns a lesson" story with strange super powers. This may be strange to recommend, but here it goes: Green Arrow Year One. Since it's the conclusion, guaranteed to be action, which Diggle and Jock are very good at. And not a whole lot happened in the previous issues to make it confusing.
