Comics We’re Buying This Week: Event Books Ass Eating Contest
With a headline like that, I better buckle up. It’s that time of the year where the Funny Book Factories begin churning out stunning efforts in mediocrity, otherwise known as Events. Yes sir. Yes ma’am. This week the all ninety-three Avengers teams are going to be throwing down with all fourteen X-Men squads and the price will be paid by readers looking for something not refried and snot-covered. (I thought this was called Civil War?)
Eh! There’s dope books a’dropping this week too. Let’s focus on that. This is Comics We’re Buying This Week. The simplistically titled column where us worshippers of the paneled page can gather around and share the funny book loot we’re snagging this week. Don’t know what’s coming out? Hit up ComicList.

Grant Morrison Is Bringing ‘DINOSAURS VS. ALIENS’ To Comics and Film. Mash-Up Snore.
Grant Morrison is bringing Dinosaurs Vs. Aliens to life. I couldn’t give no fucks about this. Maybe this is growing up. I’m no longer going to swag down the aisle with a comic in tow just because a favorite creator of mine is penning it. Maybe.
Funny Books We’re Snagging This Week: Einstein Isn’t Just Gentle, He’ll Kiss You
Hello friends. Gals. Guys. Transpecimens from an alternate dimension reading this in the future as some ethnographic study on our primitive simian brain-stems. This is Funny Books We’re Snagging This Week, the comic book column where we spaz and spout and maybe even rub it a little over the week’s funny book releases. Everyone’s invited! Especially if you find something not covered. Not certain what’s coming out? Hit up ComicList.
IMAGE EXPO RECAP: Grant Morrison Has A New Creator Owned, ‘Phonogram’ Is Back. AND MORE.
Image is entering into 20+12 and they seem to be not fucking around. This weekend was their Image expo, and they announced a panopoly of awesome content from a collection of really talented creators. None more titillation to me than my Scottish Alien Lord, Grant Morrison.
Comics We’re Buying This F**king Week: Massive Wood and Brubaker’s College Fund.
Welcome to the newly minted (and perhaps not staying named as such) Comics We’re Buying This F**king Week. Figured I’d cut the bullshit. Herein us guys and gals of the sequential funny book time can share the comic books we’re digging on in a given week. It’s a pretty exciting week, as I’m getting a new dose of Wood to engulf. Always a sucker for the Wood. (And infantile puns. It’s been a long day, forgive me.)
Dig the releases for yourself at ComicList.
Grant Morrison Gets His Own Convention. No Srsly.
Grant Morrison is getting his own convention. As a devout acolyte of his, I’m having difficulty expressing how fucking excited just the fact that this exists makes me.
Andy Kubert To Join ‘Action Comics’ In January.
Andy Kubert be jumping on the Action Comics train in January for a quick trip with Mr. Grant Morrison. Nice!
‘Batman Incorporated’ Returns In December. Bat-Schwing.
Batman Incorporated is returning this December. This has me very excited, since I love my Morrison draped in a cowl these days. Upon its return it’s promising to kick-off a storyline that is the culmination of six years of Morrison’s work. G’damn.
Comics Retailer Boycotting ‘Action Comics #1’ over The Blasphemous Letters ‘GD’.
(Click image to enlarge. Via.)
The Comic Conspiracy, a North Carolinian comic book store is boycotting that fucking heathen Grant Morrison and his liberal brain-washing rag Action Comics over a sound effect in the first issue. The sound effect “GD” has been construed to mean “Goddamn”, which still seems pretty ludicrous to me.
