I’m not usually much of a DC person, at least when it comes to comics, I usually prefer their characters in other media. But it’s been a year since the New 52 started, and apparently that means some big things, so I picked up a bunch of their stuff this week, and a few other indie odds and ends (Green Lantern Volume 5 Annual #1, Justice League #12, National Comics: Looker, Li’l Homer #1, Critter #3, & Legend of Oz: The Wicked West #6). I made out much better than I did last week, when that dumb Comic Con Girl book make me physically ill and upset after reading it. I apologize if last week was not my best, as that was the book I read first and it ruined everything afterwards.

A lot of the media I love happens in cool tricked out locales, like spaceships, flying cities, or futuristic pleasure planets. But while some of my favorite stories take place in awesome settings, there are certainly some other ones I would stay far, far away from.

Get ready to brace yourself, because one of this week’s entries (The Adventures of Comic Con Girl #1, Cavewoman: Gangster #1, Danger Girl/G.I. Joe #2, The Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom #1) is the of the most mitigated disaster of an abortion of a pile of shit comic book I’ve ever read. Frankly, the mere fact that I read it leaves me upset and angry. I would invent time travel just to go back in time and prevent myself from reading one of those books it’s so bad. Which book was it? You’ll need to read on to find out.

The Expendables 2 comes out today. It stars almost every action movie star of the 80’s, which is great if you like that sort of thing. One problem. I don’t really like that sort of thing, so this is gonna be a very odd list.

Today was a big day for new series apparently, as a bunch of publishers put out a lot of new series (Battle Beasts #2, Victories #1, Pathfinder #1, Thun’da #1, Witchblade: Demon Reborn #1) I could jump on at #1. Will I stick around for any issue twos? We’ll see.

Tesla was the greatest geek ever, and pretty much invented all the best stuff in the history of ever, like modern electricity and the light bulb. “But I thought Edison did alot of that” I can hear you saying. No, you would be wrong. Edison was an asshole. And this is coming from someone who went to T.A Edison elementary school.

To celebrate the successful landing of the Mars Rover Curiosity, for this weeks Friday Five, we discuss our favorite things that happened in space. We promise not to scream too loud about it. Besides, no one would hear us anyway in space.

No, this time, our favorite cat eating Alien Life Form from Melmac, Gordan Shumway, is coming back in a new movie.
