There ’s no manner of flummox around it : this is both an fantastically dull calendar week for raw comics releases , and also an fantastically meddlesome week … just not until the weekend . This Saturday is Free Comic Book Day 2008 ( when all manner of books are released for the price of zero dollar mark precisely in the hope of luring unexampled reader into stores to be entice by much more expensive items ) but I ’ll wait until Friday before I tell you what you should be picking up for that . But everyone ’s preparing for Saturday , because what ’s come out in storehouse tomorrow ? It kind of suction .
That ’s not entirely true , of course ; there ’s the unexampled Fables collection , Wolf – but that series , establish around what happens after the “ merrily ever after ” at the end of all fairy tales ( Here ’s a clue : Brutal war , New York and marriage , but not inevitably in that order ) , lacks pretty much any kind of science fiction constituent that ’d let me claim it as part of the io9 commission command .
There ’s also DC Universe : Zero , easy the most interesting release of the week – A 50 centime origination to the current position quo of all of DC ’s main characters ( Superman , Batman and Wonder Woman , as well as the Legion of Super - Heroes , Green Lantern and others ) by writers Grant Morrison and Geoff Johns as well as “ a legion of cartoon strip ’ best artist ” as they say . It all leads into this summertime ’s big Final Crisis , Batman R.I.P. , Legion of Three Worlds and Wonder Woman : emanation of Olympus storyline . Even if you ’re not concerned in any of those characters or write up , it ’s still 32 Thomas Nelson Page of pretty for half a one dollar bill , so what are you waiting for ?

Otherwise , the most interesting two book both come from Platinum Studios , via life as webcomics . A deal has been pronounce about the creating - comics - strictly - as - IP - to - sell - as - movies line of work model of Platinum , but when it create comedian with titles like I Was Kidnapped By Lesbian Pirates From Outer Space and Adventures of Tymm : Alien Circus , at least you know that they ’re not too proud to go sensationalistic in their attempts to get your eyeballs .
As is always the typesetter’s case , you could look at this workweek ’s shipping list and see how dissatisfactory it is for yourselfhere , and then go and find your local comic storeherein preparation for the much more exciting free grab - bag that is this weekend . Just give them a call , expect them to keep a copy of DC Universe until you get there on Saturday , and save yourself the clip tomorrow . You ’ll thank me in the end .
