This week brings us giddy comic book fans the long awaited Grant Morrison project for DC, Multiversity…Ed Brubaker’s foray into 1940s Hollywood in his new Image book…and even more secrets revealed from Marvel’s Original Sin event.

This week’s stash brings with it the continuation of the big time Justice League crossover complete with a certain mysterious fan favorite finally getting some time in the spotlight; a new addition to already bursting at the seams vampire genre that is different from anything else on the market; and anew writer breathes life into a title that was D.O.A. under the pedestrian writing of its original author.
After a holiday break TGIW is back just in time for The Trinity War to get kicked off, two brand new books from Image that continue to cement that company’s place int he comic book world as the new Vertigo, the return of the World’s Worst Superteam and the Uncanny X-Men spend an entire issue talking…a lot.
This was a good week for me as I found myself liking pretty much everything on my pull list and the selections for this post run the gamut from a day in a dog’s life to a new book from an industry heavyweight to the return of the World’s Finest team to a coda for one of the worst miniseries ever that is actually pretty enjoyable.
