Top Five for July 19-25

Yeah, I know there wasn't a top five for last week. Whatever. Hope the Huntress Approved Guide to Comic Budgeting (below) kinda sorta made up for it. Anyway, this weeks' top five, duh.

#5-Tiny Titans #18

I've gone on about the perfectness of Tiny Titans, right? Well, just in time for summer breaks in the real world, they're stuck in detention while Darksied is doing slade's dirty work, which we can safely assume (this being an all ages book and all) will bw cleaning off bathroom graffiti by Ravager. Oh, Red Robin also manages to make a semi-racist remark on the cover. Bwahahahaha! Hurray for Wonder Bread and blind censors!

#4-Amazing Spider-Man # 600

Why are so many titles getting up to #600 recently? I remember Cap just hit his, like a week ago. Oh well. Anyway, this is Spidey's, a whole 104 pages all to himself, with (promised) no reprints and work by guys like Romita Jr., Joe Kelly, Marcos Martin (the Batgirl: Year One guy), and Stan Lee (no, duh), it looks to be something even Peter himself will be swinging in to get.

#3- Marvel Adventures Spider-Man# 53-

Two Spidey Titles? In a row? Why, yes, of course. Anyway, this the all ages Spidey Title in the non-616 Marvel Adventures line, which really does look like it'll be quite an adventure....to say the least. I'll let the preveiw speak for itself.

#2-Marvel 1985

Face it, we all sometimes wish we could've a "Toby". That's why this thing exsists, and why this magical, imaginative, and entirely possible story makes #2.

#1- Absolute New Frontier

Okay, I admit it. I'm a terrible geek. I preordered my Itunes copy of Watchmen, yeah, but you know what? I haven't even read Darwyn Cooke's New Frontier. That's right. *sigh* But I do plan to. I've heard some awesome things about the book, so hopefully, it's place at #1 is deserved.

Agree? Disagree? COMMENT!

Oh geez, the Hulk is having an issue 600 as well. . . meh. I really hope Amazing Spidey does a good number 600. I actually have issue 500, and it still stands the test of time. That issue means so much to me.

Oh lol, I purchased the first volume of Cooke's New Frontier maybe five months ago, but I haven't even touched it. I think he's a brilliant Canadian, so it really does make me feel bad about =(.

he's canadian? never knew. I've only read the oneshot he did for catwoman.

let's see....i've got the 500th issue of Uncanny....chock-full of land art. Imagine showing that to your kids someday....
