Comic Book Day Recap: August 4

[semillama]

Pretty good haul this week:

BALTIMORE PLAGUE SHIPS #1 A Mignola story set in 1915, after the plague has halted WWI. Something else has happened as well - as it seems the German Army has been transformed into vampires. Lord Baltimore, who seems like a cross between a vampire hunter and Captain Ahab, is hunting them down. This series doesn't appear to be taking place within the Hellboy/BPRD universe.

BOYS #45 Hughie finds out who his girlfriend really is, and Butcher has a change of heart regarding the newest member of the Boys. Meanwhile, the Frenchman and the Female go undercover!

SUPERGOD #4 (OF 5) WRAP CVR Warren Ellis' post-apocalyptical tale of what might happen if governments really got into the manufacture of super beings continues. I think I'll have to go back and re-read the series once number 5 comes out - I'd recommend waiting for the TPB if you haven't started reading this series yet. I think the story works better as a whole rather than as a set of episodes.

ULTIMATE COMICS AVENGERS 2 #6 (OF 6) The conclusion of the story arc that saw the temporary addition of the Punisher and Cash, the first Hulk, to the Avengers line up, as they finally catch up with Ghost Rider. The story is a little disjointed and was somewhat hard to follow. Probably a case of putting too much story into too little space.

HELLBOY THE STORM #2 (OF 3) Starting to look like Hellboy is finally going to face his destiny - or at least begins to realize the mistake he made when he left the BPRD...
