DC Families Review: The Dark

A few things to get out of the way. First off, for those who don’t know, DC has broken their books up into separate families. And over the course of the next few weeks I, James, plan on doing quick reviews of each family and their books, how their stories are going, what I hope to see, that type of things. I am also hoping to get Dan and Garrett to do this as well and get their opinions on their favorite/least favorite families. So let’s kick this off with my favorite, THE DARK.

For any regulars out there you may have heard that my picks of the week aren’t books we talk about on the show, for some, I’m the only one reading them, others, well, just isn’t brought up for time’s sake. But I am a huge fan of THE DARK.  A quick rundown of the books: Swamp Thing, Animal Man, Justice League Dark, Demon Knights, I Vampire, Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E., and Demon Knights. (Recent addiction Dial H, though we won’t cover that for the moment.)

Pull List: May 9 2012

So I haven't done this in a few weeks, partly because I've had a whole bunch of things on my mind, and partly because our newest host gets comics at a different time than I and Dan do, and I felt odd not getting him involved.
This week, I've decided to screw that. You may also note this is up early. I know what I'm getting, I know what Dan is getting. And I will make shit up for Garrett. If anything really cool comes out, I'll make an addendum.
The red highlight is what we got that was not apart of this original list. I apologize to Demon Knights. Not to the tie ins.

Free Comic Book Day

Free Comic Book Day: One Day Late

If you are curious...I'm just bored today. So this is the last one, I promise. Just...a visual difference in the two big comic book companies and what they are trying to get us to buy their books.

Marvel

DC

I feel the art speaks for itself. Two companies trying to sell you their product by giving free samples. Me thinks one of these books needs to get better art, to convince me to buy more of their product.

Pandora! I found her.

So quick update, because We forgot to look for Pandora on the release of the second wave. So we didn't have her in our podcast. Here she is

G.I. Combat

Dial-H

World's Finest
