ON THE SHELVES AUGUST 8TH

A little busy yesterday and today with the 20 cent sidewalk sale happening, but I'll try to give you a quick look at next wednesday's delivery.

Some weeks its not so easy to find something to mention from the new delivery. Don't get me wrong, theres a lot of great stuff coming in as usual, just nothing out of the ordinary. The only first issues worth mentioning start with Black Adam the Dark Age. Teth had one of the best storylines running through "52" last year and a lot have people have been wondering how he got his powers back (as seen in Countdown). I'm still kind of wondering how the two weekly series fit in continuity as they seem to contradict each other on a few points. Countdown almost seems to take place right after the events of Infinite Crisis, and don't even get me started on the One Year Later stuff.
A little easier to understand is the BPRD Killing Ground which takes place right after the last mini-series Garden of Souls. Mignola seems to be working overtime with all the Hellboy universe stuff thats been hitting the shelves lately.
