Pull List Tuesday!  

Posted by BB in

Well today is Tuesday so here is my pull list for this week. Whats everyone else out there got?

At the suggestion of one my subscribers on YouTube I may check these two Avatar titles out:

Absolution #0 - Going with this solely based on the cover looking sweet and it costing under $2.00. Not sure but I figure i'll thumb through it.

Anna Mercury 2 #1 - I heard good things about the first Anna Mercury so interested to see what it is all about.

Then the rest as usual:

Batman #687 - As one of the few people who actually enjoyed Judd Winick's last run on Batman I will be picking this up for sure. Should be fun to see him write Dick in the batsuit. That is Dick Grayson, not a dick on the suit. Not like the nipples in the Schumaker movies.

Booster Gold #21 - Think i'm reaching the end of the road with this title. I have a feeling it might get canceled soon though so i'd hate to quit if it's going under anyway. Still haven't read the last issue so maybe it is better than it was two months ago...

Flash: Rebirth #3 -Interested to see if the cliffhanger from last issue is going to stick. I highly doubt it will. If it does stick is this like Hal/Spectre to anyone else?

Green Lantern Corps #37 - Looking forward to this. We're getting so close to Blackest Night I can feel the wood in my pants growing. Fangasm coming soon!

JSA vs Kobra #1 - Not sure if i'm going to get this but it has the JSA so I have a hard time not getting it. Also, the Kobra one-shot it feeds out of was kind of fun.

Red Robin #1 - Christopher Yost with Tim running around as Red Robin? Yes please! How many more teens can Yost kill? I hope the answer is many more cause that formula works for him. Tim looking for Bruce around the world should be a blast.

Amazing Spider-Man #597 - American Son has been a fun run so i'm looking forward to seeing where this whole Harry in a Iron Man style armor is going.

Beta Ray Bill: Godhunter #1: Beta Ray Bill what else needs to be said?!

Deadpool #11 - Another title I was enjoying a lot more at its start but now find only so-so. Would like this title to stop crossing over and guest starring other characters in other titles. Let's get more Deadpool running amuck please.

Fantastic Four #567 - This story has sucked. Period. Completest.

Uncanny X-Men #511 - The end of a terrible arc. It has to get better right? At least we get a fucking break from Land. Thank Odin's Fuckin' Beard!

Uncanny X-Men First Class Special - Looking forward to this as we make the transition to the All New All Different X-Men in the First Class series. Skottie Young cover is awesome!

War of Kings: Savage World of Skaar - I think this is the end of it all for Planet Skaar which makes me sad and seems like a huge waste. I have loved the adventures on that planet and will be there for the end for sure.

Wolverine #74 - Loved the first part of this and I am looking forward to more Adam Kubert Wolvie. Interested to see if the initial story sticks with the daily format or where it will go from there.

X-Factor #44 - Great title if you aren't picking it up correct that shit Inmates. With the ending we got last week this should be some fun at least for fun nostalgic sakes.

X-Men Forever #1 -Speaking of nostalgic fun this title is all about that. I love me some Claremont X-Men. When I first got into the X-Men it was through the cartoon and that was about the time Claremont was doing the first 3 issues of X-Men with Jim Lee. So this will continue where I began my X-Men reading. This excites me greatly and makes me feel like i'm in 4th grade again! Time to bust out the Spider-Man marshmallow cereal and X-Men fruit snacks! The kind with the white and red Gambit ace of spades card shapes! If you know what i'm talking about then you are super cool too!

So that is my lsit for this week. What do you hae on it Inmates? What's your meds for the week?

The Burpee List  

Posted by BB in

I decided that there is a lot of things I want to see happen in comics. I realized this after reading the newest issue of Ultimate Spider-Man. I had strong feelings about the way that series ended but I noticed many others did so I didn't feel like beating a dead horse. Well not too much anyway. So instead I decided to make a list of things i'd love to see happen and here is the first of many.

The return of Maggott
: I really want to see this character come back. I know he isn't fandoms favorite and probably not even ten peoples favorite but Maggott was a character I really enjoyed. I thought he had an awesome aesthetic and a really twisted and unique power. A character that I thought for sure would have been an awesome memeber of Grant Morrison's New X-Men run. Unfortunately, he got a lame death off panel in the mutant concentration camp in the old Weapon X title. A death that was never even brought up by the other X-Men he served with. So that kind of sucked to me.

How do you bring back a character who is dead though? Well, shit people! Dead characters come back all the time. This character especially has a built in easy return. He left one of his two maggot's, either Eenie or Meenie, to a young boy. I always thought it would have been cool to have the left over maggot, which was Maggott's internal stomach and digestive system essentially, turn into a fly that then lays an egg that is the reborn Maggott character. It would be creepy and nasty and oh so much fun. Then Maggott of course would have two new Maggott's for a digestive system. He would also lose the accent which writers stated they had too much of a problem with.

I always imagined this story would be a twisted ride and a decent hit with me writing it. If Marvel wanted it to be a mega hit they could put a big name behind it like Grant Morrison, Garth Ennis or Warren Ellis any of these writers could do this story as twisted as it needs to be done for it to work. On art I would either put Frank Quietly or Jerome Opena as I think either of these guys could knock this project out of the park.

Lastly and most importantly I would make this mini a MAX title. Give it to any of the above mentioned guys and let them run wild with a metal maggot that turns into a fly and then leaves an egg that hatches a mutant who then has two metal maggots burst through his chest to find food that they then bring back to him by diving back into his chest. If that doesn't grab yout as a weird enough it could be awesome as a MAX title I am not sure what will.

Anyway, that is but the first on a list of things I want to see happen in comics before I die. What else is on the list? Join me every Monday to see more of The Burpee List!

Burpee's Comic Book Asylum The weekly Show 1.3!  

Posted by BB in

Here is the third and final part of the first of the weekly episodes. This last part is different from the first and a little slower but important none the less as it gives you the ability to let me know how you'd like this show to shape up.Next weeks should be 200% better and I hope you'll come back to see how this develops. To all of you that have given this a try and gotten behind it I appreciate it and look forward to doing more of these! Also, get those questions in if you want them answered.
