COMIC PICKS FOR THE WEEK

PICKS
AIR #1 - An all new Vertigo classic of tomorrow by acclaimed writer G. Willow Wilson. Don't be the last kid on the block to know what it's all about. Or do, if you're the weird kid who puts the others in a much nicer context.

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #568 - DAN SLOTT! JOHN ROMITA JR! VENOM! THE THUNDERBOLTS! GREEN GOBLIN! ANTI-VENOM? It's the most exciting and dangerous smörgåsbord I've seen since my cousin's wedding!

FINAL CRISIS LEGION OF THREE WORLDS #1 - The super anticipated FINAL CRISIS TIE-IN that brings together GEOFF JOHNS, GEORGE PEREZ, and nearly every incarnation of the Legion of Super-Heroes EVER! Wouldn't it be weird if it brought together different incarnations of George Perez instead? I imagine that would be a little less action packed then I expect this to be, but who knows, maybe he has the requisite amount of self-loathing it would require to make that something worth seeing...

TALES DESIGNED TO THRIZZLE #4 - The best and most irregularly released humor comic in the world finally returns to tell tall tales of where it's been and what it has seen. Tales that will fuck up your entire life, forever.

YOUNGBLOOD TP VOL 01 FOCUS TESTED - Yeah, you heard me. Joe Casey continues to be one of the most interesting writers in comics, this time taking a long-time punchline and flipping it into a vibrant and interesting look at celebrity and duty. And punching.
