New Comics - July 29, 2009

There's not much in the way of big comics this week. I suppose that could be a blessing in disguise though, seeing as how my wallet has been taking a hit with the recent onslaught of good books. Anyway, the biggest issue due is New Avengers #55. It's the first one since the New Sorcerer Supreme and supposedly has the team losing their powers. Sounds lame, but it's still one of the coolest comics out there.

Two other titles from Marvel are Secret Warriors #6 and Thunderbolts #134. In Secret Warriors we'll see the conclusion to its first arc as Nick Fury takes back his ship and his team whoops up on the Hydra. Over in the Thunderbolts, Andy Diggle has been building an awesome story and Songbird looks to be at war with the team. Sounds intense.

From the DC side, Detective Comics #855 is the only big release. Greg Rucka did a phenomenal job in the last issue introducing us to the title's new lead and building a believable and interesting story. JH Williams's art was some of the best work I've ever seen and this book should be picked up for that reason alone.
