The last New Comics Day of 2010

Here's a list of previews

What's on YOUR pull list!?!?!?

Haha, wow we must've just posted around the same time.

No new comics until tomorrow for us up here in Canada.

Pretty short pull list this week. Flash #8, Batman: Streets of Gotham #18 and Secret Warriors #23. Which is good, because I splurged last week and bought TPBs #10, #11 and #12 of Invincible. Man, I'm really loving that comic!

Holy...2 Astonishings in the same month?!?! That's, well, "astonishing!!"

I keep piling up comics I haven't yet read. Is that weird?

I got Daken and Thunder Strike.

Holidays hit my wallet hard, and also the fact I have a relative that has a birthday after Christmas puts another ding in my budget. So I'll be skipping this week, but fortunately I have a pull list on at my LCS and I'll just pick up this weeks titles sometime next week. However will keep an eye on this thread, just to see what to remove or add when I go back.

The Flash #8 - This issue spotlights Professor Zoom, the Reverse-Flash (freed from Iron Heights by Captain Boomerang at the end of #7). This one's interesting because it essentially says that he's been going back into his own past to revise his personal history in an attempt to reach the most desireable result, even though he knows he'll never be able to truly have everything the way he wants it.

Green Lantern #61 - The Butcher, the Red Entity, chooses a host. And both Atrocitus and the Spectre are hot on its trail. You'd better believe blood will be spilled a-pleanty in this one.

Gotham City Sirens #18:

Zatanna and Talia plot to take Selina's memory of Bruce's Secret Identity while Ivy and Harley argue with her and eventually each other about Selina deceiving her and whether it was right or wrong. It a nice look at the various psychologies and the tension between each of the characters, but overall I think this will be an excuse for some nonsense in the near future where Selina forgets and I don't like that... I think it also might be an interesting turn if Selina discusses her relationship with Bruce and gets Bruce to talk with Ivy and Harley and eventually tell them his identity which would be a natural extension of what those characters have gone through over the last several years with Ivy and Harley both coming down more on the hero side than on the villain side...and them both liking Bruce Wayne. Also with Batman Inc. it would give them a super knowledgeable ally in Ivy as a tech support of sort for the new Batmen... and with Harley... well honestly what other line would her psychology knowledge be more apt in other than choosing Batmen and helping with catching other criminals, ultimately helping Joker remain on top.

Detective Comics #872:

Middle of the story, not really anything to talk about. I think the whole conclusion of this episode was meh at best and at worst was BS. The back up left me annoyed as the background they try to fill you in on doesn't make any sense because almost nothing in the exposition happened as far as I know... and the ending goes against what those characters would do in those situations.

Batman: The Dark Knight #1:

Mediocre start with a mediocre cliffhanger at the end... the story so far leaves me questioning why they haven't just used Zatanna which would be a nice look into their relationship instead of introducing this new character that is more or less a hack character with her name being Dawn Golden and her father's name being Aleister and series supposed to be more about the paranormal events that Bruce encounters... If I were new to reading comics or had never heard of Batman, I'd likely not pick this up.
