SUPERMAN: FOR TOMORROW VOL. 1 HC
Written by Brian Azzarello
Art and cover by Jim Lee & Scott Williams

Eisner Award-winning writer Brian Azzarello (100 Bullets, Batman) has teamed up with Wizard Magazine’s Best Artist of 2003 Jim Lee (Batman) & inker Scott Williams for the most anticipated storyline in the Man of Steel’s history. Now the first five issues of this landmark collaboration are collected in a handsome hardcover volume!

A cataclysmic event struck the Earth one year ago, leaving millions of people gone without a trace. No one is left unaffected — not even Superman, who’s left with many questions and very few answers. For a hero who tries to have all the answers, it’s torture. And just as the action heats up and the stakes are raised, one huge question emerges: Just how far is Superman willing to go “For Tomorrow”?

This dust-jacketed volume, collecting Superman #204-208, also features sketchbook material and a new cover by Lee and an introduction by T’K!

Musashi Number Nine chronicles the fast-paced adventures of a 16-year-old super-agent who takes on assassins, terrorists and counter agents! Written and illustrated by acclaimed artist Takahashi Miyuki, Musashi Number Nine is an action series famous in Japan for a hero who is the ultimate in cool, featuring crisp, stylishly rendered artwork and engaging storytelling.

Exotic, smart and lethal, Number Nine is a field operative for an organization committed to fighting injustice. Little is known about "Universal Blue" except that they’re the last line of defense against battalions of terrorists and criminals. Even less is known about its field operatives — though it’s whispered that they possess the ability to change the course of world history. And Number Nine is one of them.

In this volume, a teenaged girl is marked for death for reasons beyond her control, and Universal Blue decides to take care of her. But Number Nine runs into trouble with this headstrong client. After all, who would accept a stranger’s help with the unraveling chaos of her life? The teenaged girl has a special gift — one that will save the life of an important person. But will she live long enough to deliver that gift in time?

I might also have a browse at the Identity Crisis tie-in issues of JSA and The Flash at the store before deciding whether to buy them.

[Alex Guillen]

Superman #211 sounds terrific and HERO ends :(
Also a fabolous Space ghost cover and the falloput of "War games" hits the Bat-books 8it looks great).

Come on people, The Question is unbelievably cool, ya gotta give him a chance.

[tormented_spawn]

Hi, my name is tormented_spawn, you can call me t-spawn. Thanks for this Crystal Ball thread/column, comix-fan, finally a reliable source.
Anyway my point, not that there's anything wrong with it. But what's the deal with people write down their list & not discussing/asking about anything else? I mean are we suppose to go, ohhh, nice list, right on! I just like to say that. I'll go now...

[Dylan McKay]

Good point, I think it's often that no one really knows what to say or ask. I try to make some points, but I'm not sure that they are good talking points.

[tormented_spawn]

Making any discussion is okay. Better than copying three-thirds of the list then paste it on the post, what's that about it. Are people suppose to be intrigue at what I'm getting? Is this a contest of who's getting the most comics? Are we suppose to getting any criticism on our list?

[ZOD]

Come on people, The Question is unbelievably cool, ya gotta give him a chance.Oh, I know that The Question is unbelievably cool, but Veitch got me to ignore this book before it even came out. In his first interview about it, he trashed Denny O'Neil's run, which to me is the definitive take on the character (and also one of favorite comic book runs of all time). He's also ignoring all of the stuff that Rucka and the Bat-Folks have done with him these past few years. And finally, he essentially said that the only way to make The Question interesting is to turn him into a clone of Rorschach (ironic, I know), so Vic's going to be quite deranged in this mini-series. So, I shall pass.

Is this a contest of who's getting the most comics? Are we suppose to getting any criticism on our list? Preach it, brother. I've been trying to stir up discussion in these threads for months. I post my list, then I type and type and type about why I'm buying what I'm buying, and try to stir up some type of discussion. Otherwise, what's the point?

I'll be posting my list w/commentary later tonight (when I get the time).

ROBIN #132
Written by Bill Willingham
Art and cover by Damion Scott

Part 1 of the 4-part Batgirl/Robin crossover “Fresh Blood,” featuring the return of artist Damion Scott! Robin is coping with crippling personal losses, and how he deals with these heartaches will send him in an unexpected direction…and into the path of the stone-fisted Batgirl!

On sale Nov 17 • 32 pg, FC, $2.25 US



so tim's back??? or is the jason todd conspiracy true? bleh!

[Lobster Johnson]

The Intimates looks pretty cool. I'm a Casey fan, so I'll give it a try.

By the way. Why does everybody post the list of comics they are going to buy? Do you really think anybody is interested in what you are going to buy next month? Do you really think anybody is going to read all those lists?
Well, maybe santa will. But I don't think he ever visits this website.
Just post when you've got something to say. Don't clutter the forum with things nobody wants to read.

Wow. I just read this after I posted. It's like we're on the same wavelength.
Spooky :hrm:

So, I shall pass.

Really? Dude, that is a major bummer. Denny O'Neil's run is one of my favourite back issues to collect. I'm waiting for my store's labour day sale so I can get 20 Question issues. Will be much fun. While I'll still probably get it, it's a major bummer. My personal belief is that the better direction to take on the character is to focus more on Vic Sage than the Question and create a Spider Jerusalem for the DCU. Vic/Question would be different, but both are reporters driven above and beyond the call of duty to uncover the truth, Vic just takes on a vigilante identity to break the unbreakable stories.

[captainmarveljr]

Holy Crap!! Any month where you have Joe Casey Wildstorm goodness (THE INTIMATES: Check the preview HERE (http://www.dccomics.com/pdfs/wildstorm/intimates01.pdf) ), Morrison back on JLA(JLA: CLASSIFIED to be exact), and SPACE GHOST, has to be an arse-kicking month. And now, because you all demanded it ;), my shopping list highlights for November:

GOTHAM CENTRAL #25 - This is the best detective comic I've read, and one of the only 'tec comics where the endings are always satisfying.
JLA: CLASSIFIED #1 - When you have one of the best writers in comics working with one of the best mainstream artists this is what you get. Orhh yeahhh....
GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH #2 - I would buy this series if it was written and drawn on toilet paper to see Hal back in action, the fact that it has top talent on it is just a bonus :)
PLASTIC MAN #12 - It burns me up that more people don't read this :flamed: (had to fit that smiley in some where). This is the funniest and one of the most well drawn comics on the shelf. Do yourself a favour and atleast pick up #11 (the start of a new arc).
SPACE GHOST #1 - How can you not love Space Ghost? The original TV series is awesome and one of my favourite cartoons ever (Coast to Coast was... different). This re-imagining sounds great, and its got Kelly writing and painted Olivetti art.
THE INTIMATES #1 - Like I said, more WS Joe Casey goodness. Just check the preview you'll love it (especially if you like NEW X-MEN: ACADEMY X): INTIMATES #1 PREVIEW (http://www.dccomics.com/pdfs/wildstorm/intimates01.pdf)
THE AUTHORITY: REVOLUTION #2 - I loved Ellis' Authority and Millar's 1st arc, and this looks like a return to greatness. Ed Brubaker writes what is the best DCU title each month (Gotham Central) and I trust him to make the Authority awesome again (having Dustin Nguyen penciling doesn't hurt either ;) )
OCEAN #2 - It's Ellis doing a wholy original sci-fi comic, whats not to love??
EX MACHINA #6 - The best comic on the stands and it sell like a lump of doggie doo. Awesome stories with already layered and well developed characters, and crazy realistic art from Tony Harris.

Ah, the dreaded list, how I love thee :yeah:

Max.

[Dylan McKay]

That Intimates preview is sweet. I can't wait for the series. It's gonna be so awesome. But it's Wildstorm, so no one will buy it even with lee's involvement. Sorry? Am I bitter? Noooooooooo.....

[tormented_spawn]

You had me at hello. What was that? You didn't say hello, well, I'm going to get Intimates on the day it's out and it's quite a wait. I still have to get my hands on any of his Wildcats trades, but I have a feeling it's going to be a good read, though sadly, it's probably likely going to be another underated Wildstorm comics, like most of them are, if not all...

[jonnynyc]

That is so cool that DC is giving a new (and in my opinion really good) writer like Gabrych a chance on a stand alone Batman story
i cant wait for his Batgirl

[tormented_spawn]

Can't believe HUMAN TARGET: LIVING IN AMERIKA TP cost $14.95 after the first one, Human Target: Strike Zones cost $9.95, which contains the same amount of issues as in Living in Amerika TP. Oh, well, more money to spend...

[Dylan McKay]

It's to offset the low sales. Human Target is a lame-duck title at this point...

[tormented_spawn]

well, I guess we got no one to blame but the people who's not willing to try anything new. This is the same people who usually buy the same sets of comics t
