Comic reviews for the week of 11/16/11

Hot pick of the week: Morning Glories #14 (Image Comics) Nick Spencer Writer/Joe Eisma Art/Rodin Esquejo Cover


      This was a really hard choice with so many great books this week. Batman #3, Justice League #3, Red Hood and the Outlaws #3, The Transformers #30 & The Incredible Hulk #2, just to mention a few. But I judge a book not only on the story and the art, I also look for that idea that is right out of left field. It's the diamond in the rough that really make collecting comics a true joy. Morning Glories after fourteen short issues takes the crown when it comes to out of this world stories that are so thought provoking that it is like you are actually being schooled. I also have a feeling that without this creative team this book may not be as special as Morning Glories.
