San Diego’s Comic-Con International is one week away, but there was plenty of paneled pandemonium happening at comic book stores today, including the second issue of
Superman Unchained, the latest installment in Scott Snyder’s
Batman: Zero Year storyline and a fantastic tale in the pages of Mark Waid’s
Daredevil.
Here’s the complete list of the books I’ll be reading, bagging and boarding this evening:
- Daredevil #28
- Savage Wolverine #6
- Superman Unchained #2
- Batman #22
- Justice League #22
Although it’s only tangentially related to comic books, I’d like to take the opportunity to gush a bit about Guillermo del Toro’s
Pacific Rim, which hits theaters this weekend. Yes, it’s another movie about giant robots causing property damage, but it’s hard not to look forward to witnessing del Toro running on all cylinders. I recently revisited
Pan’s Labyrinth and the exceptional
Hellboy II: The Golden Army, so I’m excited to see how he handles a blockbuster of this scale. Bring on the Kaiju!
