Anticipation Proclamation: What Books are You Looking Forward to This Week? 8/15/07

[paper]

What's on the top of your list?

For me, it's that combo of Robin and USM. Oooh, and Flash!

I'm also morbidly curious about Booster Gold.

[acomicbookgirl]

Intrigued with Booster Gold. Toss up between Amazons Attack and Good as Lily. :)

[mister s]

I'm strangely looking forward to Killing Girl. And JLA.

[iSteve]

Top of my list is Captain America #29. Also up there: Amazons Attacks! #5, Brave and the Bold #6, Outsiders Five Of A Kind Week 3, Robin #165, Sub-Mariner #3, and Ultimate Spider-Man #112.

All-in-all, it looks like a great week. Many good choices! Not bad... not bad at all.

[Mikegraham6]

Cap definitely wins out on this one, but im intrigued for the Imonnen only issue of USM.

on the DC side, i'll have to go with Flash, i want to see where Waid will take this series since it ended so strong with Gugenheim

[k33k3r]

Cap and/or USM

[HomeTeam790]

THe three I'm looking foward to are Cap, Booster Gold and Shadowpact.

[Labor_Days]

Cap, Killing Girl and Flash are my hot picks. Good As Lily is up there too but it's a OGN. So, maybe it doesn't count if we're talking issues.

[Thomas Katers]

Top 3

1)Booster Gold
2)Booster Gold
3)Booster Gold

[Labor_Days]

Surprised Flash doesn't make your top 3, Tom. Not a fan of Waid's Flash?

[Six Gun]

Flash, Captain America and Amazons Attack

[Thomas Katers]

Surprised Flash doesn't make your top 3, Tom. Not a fan of Waid's Flash?


That is #4....I like Waid's Flash, I am not a huge Acuna fan but I am optimistic

It was just more indicative of the fact that I am really excited for Booster Gold.

[Labor_Days]

Noted. The Booster Gold previews looked great. Looking forward to that one as well.

[iSteve]

I'll give Booster Gold a shot, but I really don't expect much. It is - after all - Booster Gold. He was okay in 52, but the only time I've really enjoyed Booster was when he was in Formerly Known as the Justice League.

i really enjoyed him in The Omac Project when he was looking to avenge ted kord's death

You should check out the original Keith Giffen/J.M. Dematteis Justice League run. He was great fun in that.

That being said I wasn't enthused about this book at all until I saw Geoff Johns' name and the concept. At this point, the main character is irrelevant.

Yeah, I forgot about that one. He was good.

THE ALL-NEW BOOSTER GOLD #1
Written by Geoff Johns and Jeff Katz; Art and Cover by Dan Jurgens and Norm Rapmund

Exploding from the pages of 52 and exploring the timeline of the DC Universe comes a new monthly book featuring the greatest super-hero history will never know: Booster Gold!

Following the universe altering conclusion of 52, Booster Gold wants what's due to him — a spot on the Justice League of America! But the time stream's in trouble, and Booster Gold is in the center of it! Now he must make a choice: reclaim his former glory or do the right thing, forgoing the credit.

ALL-NEW Booster Gold will take you through time and space, to the greatest moments of the DCU that have happened and will happen.

"52 Pick-Up" begins in this extra-sized issue #1! Someone is exploiting the ravaged time stream, hoping to eliminate the world's greatest heroes — and only Booster Gold can stop them. But, really — Booster Gold? Why him? What does Rip Hunter truly want? And what shocking figure is behind it all?

And coming up in the months ahead in DC's time spanning monthly: the world's greatest Green Lantern — Sinestro, Jonah Hex, Barbara "Batgirl" Gordon, Flash and Kid Flash, and plenty more of DC's super stars from throughout its past and future!

[Mikegraham6]

thanks Conor!

[iSteve]

I don't think I can take Booster Gold seriously as a superhero in his own right. He's a third tier comedic prop. He's ultimately a support character at best. I don't think he has the cache to carry a title on his own.

[itsbecca]

Flash. No contest. Also, since it's not a big week for me I'll probably pick up a trade. And that's exciting for me as well.

[Labor_Days]

All you guys looking for a trade this week might want to check out Good As Lily if you've been enjoying any of the Minx books.

[MarshallG]

Checkmate. It seems like it's been a long time since the last one. Not sure if it has.

[Humphrey Lee]

NOT A GODDAMNED THING!!!

(I have to work to make up for my taking all that vacation time for WWC =/ )
