And now for the rough-and-ready titles...
G.I. Joe: Reloaded #3: The first real encounter between the Joes and Cobra continues. The artist maintains his quality from the previous issues, and I'm really getting into the story. An interesting twist is that Cobra has managed to get a top brass of the U.S. military on its side, and together, they're in the process of setting up the Joes as traitors to their own country. Nice stuff.
Conan #4: Conan is in chains in Hyperborea and is in the process of figuring out how to escape. And who's helping him but a cute slave girl. Some things never change. Conan fights, boasts and gets laid. No wonder Robert E. Howard's creation has lasted all these decades. I just can't say this enough about Dark Horse's version of Conan: You need to buy it.
The Punisher #6: The team of Garth Ennis, Lewis Larosa and Tom Palmer just blows me away -- again, and again, and again. The first story arc of this new Punisher series has come to an end, and Marvel has wrapped up with quite the thrill. I won't ruin it here for those who might actually check it out, but let's just say the last full-page panel will make you glad you bought this issue.
