Books I picked up this Wednesday

Future Foundation #2 came out today and i will be posting pics very soon of the variants i managed to grab. I thought #1 was great and Jonathan Hickman's writing is top notch. Definitely reviews to come for this series!

Also Grant Morrison's, Batman Inc. #5. This series is pretty good so far and i've been able to collect all 5 variants and although Paquette and Lacombe dropped off for issue #4 they are back on the book in #5! Grant Morrison is a true juggernaught in the comics writing world and worth checking out anything he writes in my opinon (All Star Superman)

Action Comics #900 variants look really cool and although i havn't kept up with this series i thought it was worth picking up because there seemed to be quite a buzz about it. Lets see what Superman is up to these days..

American Vampire #14 by Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque has been doing really well and i jumped on this series on issue #13 and i have to say that i will keep up with these books.

Morning Glories #9 - i have yet to read #8 but judging by issues 1-7, Nick Spencer is doing an amazing job telling this story and it will definitely be a book down the road that will be talked about and referred to. So get your back issues now while they last.

New books to look out for this week!

Annihilators #3 Written by DAN ABNETT & ANDY LANNING Penciled by TAN ENG HUAT & TIMOTHY GREEN II 
Cover by ALEX GARNER - #1 and #2 are worth picking up if not just for the "Rocket Raccoon" story that is included in the back of the book. I picked up both 1 and 2 variants just because Rocket was on the cover. Mike Mignola does the variant #1 cover with Groot and Rocket Raccoon and really does it justice. I'll be picking up the DJURDJEVIC variant today.

Fear Itself #2 - McGuiness has an amazing variant that i will be picking up today (hopefully) and posting it up for you all to see. Fear itself #1 was great and this series is going to be worth keeping an eye on.

Axe Cop #3 By: Malachai Nicolle, Ethan Nicolle- Definitely worth checking out. It's written by a 6 year old and his older brother. The older brother is in his 20's, i believe, and does a great job putting this book together showcasing the mind of this little brother. Dinosaurs with Gatling gun arms? yes please

Blue Estate #2 By: Viktor Kalvachev, Osborne- The first book is already in it's second printing so this should be worth picking up although i have yet to read it or know much about it. I'll be checking it out today

Moon Knight #1 By Brian Bendis and Alex Maleev - The super team duo is at is again. If you read their Daredevil, you know this team is nothing to mess around with although Bendis has been on the decline as of late (killing off spidey WTF) but this book is still worth checking out. Also there are some pretty awesome variant covers, i'll be trying to pick up the Wolverine / Moonknight cover by Texiera so i can get it signed at Anaheim Comiccon. Let you know what i think soon

Captain America, First Vengeance #1 Written by FRED VAN LENTE  Penciled by LUKE ROSS & NEIL EDWARDS- This is the comic prequel to the major motion picture that is going to be coming out soon. At $2.99 it's worth checking out if you want to know more of the backstory before seeing the movie.

Welp that wraps up this weeks books to look out for. stay tunes for reviews to get underway!

WELCOME to Good Comic Bad Comic!

Welcome fellas and fellettes! Olson here! With plenty of great books (and flops) on the horizon, we've decided to take it upon ourselves to narrow down the books that are worth your time and  money. Times are tough and monthly books add up! It's time to find out what books are going to make history and what writers to keep an eye out for. Parker and I (Olson) will be reviewing the latest writers and artists so that new readers and veterans alike can get a share of well read opinions. Check back weekly!

Email us questions or just say HI!  OlsonandParker@gmail.com
