Here is a random posting of some comics I have bought this week being Comic Book Wednesday!  Two issues of note this week.

The first one I have been waiting for a little while is Turf #2, the series written by Jonathan Ross and Tommy Lee Edwards.  I bought the first issue, reviewed here, on impulse because I never knew that Jonathan was going to write a comic book.  I really enjoyed it, a mish-mash of 19th Century New York, Vampires and Aliens and I am looking forward to getting into issue 2.  However, the first thing that struck me about the book is that a vampire character looks very similar to Jonathan, as my picture left demonstrates, what do you think?

The next comic of note this week is Wonder Woman #600.  I don’t usually follow Wonder Woman but I did buy it because J Michael Straczynski will now write it.  JMS’s work is always incredible but will this tempt me to buy this comic on a regular basis?  We’ll see.  This issue did have the common theme of a few small stories like other DC anniversary issues, which I do find a little bit annoying, the JMS “Prologue” was only 9 pages long.  It did have an introduction by Lynda Carter, which was fab.  I have to say that costume “updates” have not usually gone down well with fans and I haven’t seen too many positive comments on this to date…they may have to change it back.  The costume update certainly generated some publicity for the comic, controversial or not, and even the BBC ran an article on it.
