Today’s Comic Purchases: 6/1/2011
Hello ladies and gents! Here’s my picks for this week’s comics. I picked up:
- Sweet Tooth #22 (Vertigo, Jeff Lemire)
- Superboy #8 (DC, Jeff Lemire)
- Secret Six #34 (DC, Gail Simone)
- Avengers Academy #14.1 (Marvel, Christos Gage)
- Fear Itself #3 (Marvel, Matt Fraction)
- Amazing Spider-Man #663 (Marvel, Dan Slott)
Good haul this week; I don’t really like Marvel’s “.1” series of issues, but I picked up Avengers Academy for completion’s sake, and because I’m really liking this series. Fear Itself surprised me with some twists, but Secret Six was definitely this week’s pick. Check it out!
Here’s the reviews I did for ComicVine for four of the above issues. Spoilers abound, people!

I’m a fan of this issue because it shifts in direction to something that the Birds should have under control easily, but presents them with complications that will challenge them. The reveal of Junior also did its job of presenting a threat that we know the team might legitimately have trouble with, and that makes for good stories. Good issue overall, but I’m curious as to where it goes.
I’m glad they’ve continued the Cannonball/Moonstar romance from an initial drunk kiss to something a little more permanent. I like Sam a lot as a character, so seeing good things come his way makes me happy. Seeing him get recognition as leader keeps with the theme of the series, which was something I thought they’d forget about.
Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt #1
Boulder/Butterball is in a group shot, and I’m loving how they didn’t forget about him. He’s my favourite thing to come out of the Initiative; if you can’t read his issue, I implore you to do so.
