Looks like I’m on a one-post-per-three-weeks schedule with these reviews. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing, and I don’t want to spend a whole paragraph on figuring it out. So let’s get right on to the reviews.

Secret Six #1: I enjoyed The Six’s guest appearance in Birds of Prey so much back when Gail Simone was still writing that series, I decided to check out their first ever ongoing. It’s now on my pull list. I guess I just got to have a Gail Simone book in there at all times (I dropped Wonder Woman because it just wasn’t working out for me).

Yes, I’m bringing the noise back into this blog. And when I say “noise”, I mean “comic books and other geeky stuff”. I bought a lot of comics last week so I thought now’s the best time to force some comics goodness down your unsuspecting throats. Also, I just closed Face Rockery, so, yeah. There’s that. And here we go:

Thor: Reign of Blood - The second Thor one-shot from my current man-crush, Matt Fraction, has everything I loved about the first one. Violence! Trickery! Cruel gods! Sexy goddesses! All-around awesomeness! Seriously, Thor piloting the Blood Colossus to smite the vast army of the undead while it’s raining blood? That’s so bad ass it should be illegal.

One year. 52 issues. 52 weeks. And it all comes to a head with the psychedelic return of DC’s Multiverse. I don’t know what to say.

DC’s weekly series, 52, finally ends this week. I can’t believe I stayed on for all 52 issues. There were some totally awesome issues and scenes, but there were also some sucky episodes and WTF moments. All in all, it was a fun ride. But I won’t go through another weekly series again. Yeah, I’m skipping Countdown. Why? I need more money for beer and videoke battles. And probably for my future kids’ college fund.

With that totally wussy statement, I end my weekly love affair with the whole DC universe. And since I missed two (count ‘em, two!) Weekly Haul posts, this is going to be a long one. Three weeks worth of comics, coming up! With SPOILERS on top!
