1.25.12 Releases

Talk about a dud week of comics. I’m pretty sure I’ll be picking up Secret Avengers #21.1 (Marvel). Apparently, this marks the transition of team leadership from Captain America to Hawkeye. It’s also Rick Remender’s first shot at writing the series before he officially takes over with issue 22, in the wake of Warren Ellis’ departure. I’m always a little dismayed when movie costumes infect comic book renditions of the same character, I’ve never been a huge fan of Patrick Zircher’s art, and I really can’t stand Marvel’s continued adherence to this Point One thing, but I am interested if Remender can bring the same type of magic he brought to Uncanny X-Force to this title. Other than that, I don’t see a damn thing! I always hear that Sixth Gun is pretty solid, so I might give a flip to Sixth Gun #18 (Oni Press), even though I think I picked up an issue from a $1 bin or on FCBD or something and didn’t really understand the appeal. Any suggestions for what to pick up this week? Otherwise, I might fall asleep over here...
