Hey Comic Impact! This is going to be another short review week. I’ve returned from Heroes Con in Charlotte and if you want to listen to my trip check out the latest episode of The Impact, but because of the con I’m a little tired so you’ll just have to listen to Pick of the Week if you want more comic book talk.

Hey Comic Impact! Sorry for the delay this week. I had gotten my comics read pretty fast last week but didn’t have time to write up anything about them because I spent the weekend visiting friends and family back in New York. I’m still a little tired but wanted to get this out to you guys as soon as I could. I’m not going to go into too much detail this week but make sure to listen to the Pick of the Week Podcast this week as Simon, Sheldon, and I go more in depth on last week’s comics.

1. East of West #1 by Jonathan Hickman, Nick Dragotta, and Frank Martin [Image] I feel like there is a God I need to pray and sacrifice a large animal to say thank you for being blessed with a brand new ongoing comic book from Jonathan Hickman. This comic has a lot of ideas that it has to get across to set up this alternate universe that it makes its setting. Though having read this book I don’t really know what it’s truly about yet, at least what the main story that follows the main character is. But let me paint and picture and try and figure out what the heck is going on. From the start of the issue we are shown the birth of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse on Earth with the exception of one. We don’t know who it is but we do find out by issues end, all we do end up knowing that the remainder of the horsemen are on a mission to kill the last horseman. Then we get a story of prophets and prophecies from after the Civil War and we jump into an alternative world, more specifically and alternative United […]

1. Scarlet #6 by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev [Icon] Though this was my number one pick of the week I decided to write about it last because of a very personal connection I have to this book. I just wanted to put that out there and I also want to say that comic books, like any other medium are suppose to make you feel something, something besides enjoyment. I feel connected with characters, especially the ones that I really love that’s why I love Batman and Spider-Man so much. Anyway I’m going to talk about the comic first and what happens in the issue and then I’ll talk about my connection and why it means so much to me and why I felt the way I did. When Bendis launched this book last year with Alex Maleev I was excited because this book was very different from what Bendis was doing on his Marvel work at the time, and when this launched it was a breath of fresh air in his writing, not to say that he lost anything, I have and always will be a Bendis fan. But to have him work on creator owned stuff was exciting. And though this comic had big ideas and big […]

Welcome to Antonio’s Top 5 Comics of the Week. It is an honor to have my column to be featured on the Comic Impact website, so thank you Simon and Sheldon. This column is pretty easy to figure out what it’s about. I will obviously be doing a top 5 countdown every week based on my stack of comics that I buy. I’ve been doing this since March of 2012 on my tumblr account ReadWatchedandSeen.tumblr.com and I enjoy doing it. With moving the column here to Comic Impact I hope to get more discussion going about comics and highlighting comics that I really like. So on tothis week’s top 5.

Hey ComicImpact fans and fans of comics! Are you ready for a new episode of “Did You Catch All That?”? This time around is a special home for the holidays episode, as Sheldon, Susan and myself (Simon) tell you our favorite books of 2011. Sheldon is still the Marvel fan boy as he talks about his love for Ed Brubaker with not one, but two books. He is more than excited about reading the Ultimate line one more time. Sheldon is now also a fan of the great Scott Snyder. Susan is still the DC fan girl at heart. Not only does she also have love for Scott Snyder, but she also talks about a few of her favorite DC titles. She also tells us what Image book is not to be missed by Daniel Corey and Anthony Artofant Diecidue.
