Sunday Reading 9-2-12

Greetings and welcome back to our weekly review of what’s good, bad and ugly in the comic world. This being a 3 day weekend I find myself with a (more) limited amount of time than usual so while I’ll kick this week off I’m going to keep my comments to the quick. Feel free to chime in with your own wisdom to make up the difference. This week I’m looking at: Green Lantern Annual #1, Wolverine and the X-Men #15 and Uncanny X-Force #30.

Welcome everyone to Sunday Reading!  I’ve been gone for a while taking care of some real life business but hopefully this Sunday will mark my glorious return to your Sunday internet reading. Since it’s been a while let me remind you that each Sunday we take a little time here on the Bloc to look at what comics came out in the last week and see what they did great, not so great and just down right horrible.

“Whatever the tasks, do them slowly with ease, in mindfulness, so not do any tasks with the goal of getting them over with. Resolve to each job in a relaxed way, with all your attention.” – Thich Nhat Hanh, Zen Master

To often as comic readers it is so easy to simply rush through our comics and then head off to the message boards to “voice” our displeasure. We forget to take the time to enjoy the experience of reading comics and to find what it is we truly enjoy about comic book collecting. So let’s take this time to truly look at the comics from the last week and find just what it is to be great in the world of comics. This week I take a look at 3 titles: Uncanny X-Force #22, The Flash #6, and Fantastic Four #603.

Welcome one and all to another fabulous addition of Sunday Reading. For better or worse starting this week I’m reading all my comics digitally. After one official reading I have to say I like it. I like the panel to panel reading you can do and it almost gives it a movie kind of effect. Browsing the pages afterward gives me the scope of what the artist and writer want and makes for a very enjoyable read.  Now will that affect what I enjoy each week? probably not, but let’s take a look anyways, this week was a small week for me so I only got one title: X-Factor #232.

Here we are folks once again celebrating a Sunday with what’s good in the comic world. While I enjoyed my comics this week I honestly don’t think any of them hit all the bells and whistles I think are necessary what it comes to making my list for Sunday Reading. Thankfully fellow comic bloc writer Adam Schewie did find some titles in his stack-o-comics that made the grade. So while we may have a short list this week we do have a list, Adam takes a look at Wolverine and the X-Men #5 and Conan the Barbarian #1.

Once again welcome one and all to Sunday Reading. unfortunately I am still without power here in the Pacific Northwest and am writing this article from a remote location (rather than my nice comfortable home like I usually do). I was able to get my comic this week, but will not have time to read them by the time I need to get this done. Also hopefully by tomorrow I will have power back at my house and then I will have to spend my Sunday Reading cleaning out the fridge and shopping for new groceries…sigh. But fear not, as always Sunday Reading is about the good things in comics / life and the good thing is that some of my fellow Comic Bloc writers have had the time to share their thoughts on what went right this week in comic land. Going to keep my comments to a minimum this week since I got other things on my mind.

Welcome everyone to the first Sunday Reading for 2012! After my time off for vacation over the holiday season it feels good to be behind the keyboard again taking a long look at the week in comics.   Since this is the first Sunday Reading of the year I figured I would take a moment to remind everyone just what Sunday Reading is about.
