My Comic Picks for 4/8/09

Secret Six #8 - Confession time. When I started reading this, I thought it was a six issue limited series. I hadn't intended to start reading a new ongoing. This comic, however, has worked its way into my heart. This group of tough, dirty villains is extremely entertaining. I've grown to care about each of these characters. I love that Gail goes there with Ragdoll, who is my personal favorite. This issue is supposed to detail what Ragdoll dreams about. It's going to be gross!!
DC Comics
Gail Simone & Carlos Rodriguez (No, Nicola this issue? Aargh!!)



Captain Britain & MI 13 #12 - This is another comic that I tried very hard not to buy. My plan was to buy this in trade, iFanboy wouldn't stop. Ron, Conor, & Josh were constantly talking about it, so my curiosity won over. (If you're not listening to iFanboy's podcasts, you should be. http://www.ifanboy.com/) Again, just like Secret Six, I'm glad I did. I'm curious to see what Dracula will do next. C'mon, it's Dracula!!
Marvel Comics
Paul Cornell & Leonard Kirk




2 comics!! That's it! This is what happens when you try to switch over to reading the trades instead. I would love to pick up Green Lantern, but gotta wait for trade. Also, I'm waiting until trade for the whole Superman: World of Krypton thing. This light week will probably mean that I'll check out War of Kings Ascension #1. I was going to skip it, but I've been loving War of Kings. I'll probably also pick up a few trade that I've been wanting to catch up on like Spider-Man: Brand New Day or New Mutants Classic.

Well, check back here Wednesday to see what this week's Handpicked Comic will be!!
