Non-Book of the Week: Amazons Attack #3 -
This is the third issue?
The art of underrated Pete Woods isn't enough to make me care about this odd little pocket event. That I place Countdown ahead of this in terms of my interest is your first hint that it's probably not worth $2.99. That DC isn't inserting Amazons subplots into every single one of its books tells you they don't think it's worth it, either.
Other Non-Worthy Non-Books for June 27th:
Countdown #44-
On Earth 38[1], this series is titled DC's Four Color Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility. Too much of a good thing is a bad thing, and too much of a bad thing is staying on the racks, unsold.
X-Men: First Class, Volume 2 #1 -
I'm a numbers geek. I'll own it. I just can't get past this numerically awkward title, and I hope it overcomes the psychology of "selling more of a new #1 than you would've of plain #7" and sells about 7 copies.
World War Hulk: Frontline and World War Hulk: X-Men -
As discussed in our reviews of WWH #1, we here at JOB are excited at the possibility of a self-contained Big Story. And while it's nice of Marvel to offer supplemental books (from House of M through Civil War, and Civil War, and Civil War...), until it commits to making them at least minutely effective as stand-alone pieces and to not making them essential pieces of the main storyline, we're ignoring them.
Two and a Half Brubakers: Daredevil #98, Immortal Iron Fist #6, Criminal #7 -
...
Just kidding. We do like comics here. Especially really good ones.
