BB Review Group Voting Thread for 10/3

[Ray G.]

Okay, since Thud is rarely online when the Midtown list goes up, he's asked me to handle the voting threads. This is not a coup d'etat. :D


Quick summary of what this thread is:

This thread is for everyone to determine what book we will review in the BB Review Thread. In the past we took turns picking a book but now we are openly voting for titles we would like to see reviewed. Everyone is welcome to participate, no need to ask.

After visiting the Midtown shipping list (or another one you prefer) and looking over the choices please nominate one book. At the end of the week (thread closes on Tuesday at 6pm CST) the title with the most votes wins. Feel free to lobby for your choice as much as you please :)

There are no restrictions on what you can nominate and vote. Any publisher (no matter how small) any price (singles, trades, hardcovers ect) and import titles are all fair game.

We will do a new thread every week to do these votes

Here's the list of what is shipping 10/3:

Okay, in all honesty, I seriously believe Andrew French will commit ritual seppuku if we do not review Omega the Unknown #1.

And I kinda like Andrew, so let's go with that. :D

Green Lantern Corps #16. We haven't reviewed a SCW book yet, I don't think.

Omega the Unknown #1 will put me somewhere I haven't been in months: a comic book store.

Green Lantern Corps #16. We haven't reviewed a SCW book yet, I don't think.

We reviewed the opening chapter. I think it got the third-highest ratings of any book ever. :)

Well then, we should revisit it, since the wondrous epic is almost ending! :D

[Matt O'Keefe]

Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane Digest Vol. 4. It's a shame that we haven't reviewed it yet, and it's only $8 for 5 issues.

2nd.

It is the only book that really interests me.

Omega I'll probably trade wait on. I haven't read any of Lethem's novels, but I'm willing to take a recommendation. I was thinking of starting with Motherless Brooklyn, any good?

Omega Chase
Created by Keith Dallas
& Julio Molina-Muscara

"Omega Chase" is the story of Mack Baron, a man who knows who he is but doesn't know where he's supposed to be. Currently, he's the sheriff of a 19th century Texas town... but he also vaguely recalls being an officer on a 24th century starship... and an archer in a band of medieval adventurers. He'd love to sort it all out, but a zombie horde has just entered town, and he is Sheriff after all...

Motherless Brooklyn is excellent. I like Fortress of Solitude even better, though.

My vote is for Omega.

Oh man, I HATE this-- I really want to vote for Omega, I do-- BUT I think Jamie McKelvie's SUBURBAN GLAMOUR #1 was coming this week. It's on Diamond's list, but not on Midtown's. I've been looking forward to this forfuckingever, so if it isn't coming, I would vote for Omega, but since I'm pretty sure it is, I gotta vote for-

SUBURBAN GLAMOUR #1 (of 4) from Image

and you should too.

I'm trade waiting on that. Really looking forward to it though. I really like McKelvie's art.

Why so many votes I wonder?

[John M. Coker (Johnny C.)]

I've already read it, and it's pretty darn intriguing and off the wall. But after reading the first ish, I'm thinkin it'll read better traded.

[Criden]

Johnny, Suburban Glamour is most likely not out this week, as much as I'd like it to be. The Midtown list is very rarely wrong.

[John M. Coker (Johnny C.)]

Yeah, I just talked to someone at Image, and apparently there was a printing issue. Fuck.

Ok, Omega it is then.

[Thudpucker]

Omega the Unknown #1

I'm a huge fan of Letham's novels, very interested in this.

Because it's gonna be awesome.

Omega!

Finally a review book I'm going to actually want to read :wink: I'm still sitting on this Punisher comic I need to read for this week. First few pages weren't encouraging.
