Comics I picked up on thursday 13/7/10

Daredevil #509: To many, Shadowland has had a bad start and I do partially agree. We all knew what the ending would be to the first issue so it was an overall pointless issue. In the last year though I did start reading the Daredevil series starting with the Bendis Run and have enjoyed it. This issue subtly weaves around the events of shadowland and predominantly focuses on the main cast of the series who aren't Matt, and by this I mean Dakota, Foggy and the ever continually returning character Elektra. You know stuff is serious if Elektra returns. There's also a return of a villain who has potential if done right.

DMZ #56: This, in my opinion, was a fantastic issue. Of recent, there has been a big turning point in the war and the DMZ, so this issue was in the middle of 5 one off stories looking at people living there at the moment. The great thing is this issue is focused on Wilson, the Chinatown crime lord. It's beautiful and tragic, a story told from an old man reminiscing about when he was young and what these events really mean for him. Fantastic.

Justice League Generation Lost #7: Even though I chose to stop buying Brightest Day, I still peak into them to see what's going on. For once it got its act together and also linked into GL. The team are on the offensive again, this time breaking into checkmate. It has a sense of humour, especially to do with rocket red. Overall a decent issue but feels like it is linking into something else.

The Walking Dead #76: I know I always say this series is fantastic and may stop blogging about it because it is obviously becoming repetitive. It was a good issue. As usual.
