This Week's Comics - 7/12/11

First comic book day of December after Novembers odd 5 Wednesdays. This week is another low week with only 3 comics, those being Stormwatch #4, Action Comics #4 and X-Factor #228. Out of these it is nearly impossible for me to choose one I'm looking forward to more than the other two, so instead I'm just going to tell you why I'm looking forward to each. Stormwatch so far has been very interesting, with the team just being introduced the action and story has been fairly flow but last issue this picked up, so this issue I'm looking forward to some good, old Superhero fighting. Similarly, with last issue ending with all members of Stormwatch being absorbed into the weird alien, only Apollo and Midnighter were left to rescue them, so this promises some nice interactions between one of my all time favourite couples and the teaser 'a major change to the Stormwatch roster' definitely has me curious. Action Comics, unlike Stormwatch, to me seemed to jump straight into the action with a young Superman straight away showing off his will to save Metropolis. However, not only does it have the traditional action that I miss from the new 'psychological' comic of today, it also features Lex Luthor, a bit of an origin story for Steel and, plain and simple, its Superman, literally the origin of all create Superhero comics today. Lastly, but definitely not least, we have X-Factor, a series which I have professed on this blog many times is perfect for me. With a brilliant author, David, some of my favourite characters, Shatterstar, Layla, Monet, Longshot, and some of my favourite couples, Rictor and Shatterstar, Jamie and Layla, any issue of this title gets me 'buzzed up'. The current storyline we're in the middle of didn't really do it for me at first in terms of the villain they were fighting, and to be honest still doesn't, but with Jamie's shock death and blast to the future, I'm fascinated to see what happens next.
