Crash and Burn! The return of Mr. Chair's Comic Book Pick of the Week!

Sorry for the lapse. This week's MCCBPoTW is "Seven Soldiers of Victory," by Grant Morrison. I'm not sure where Morrison's going with this, but I like the cut of its jib so far. This Zero issue is the launch of four mini-series by Morrison and various artists. Each story will involve a new character, somehow in the current DC Universe but never before mentioned. Weird. The first issue is very cool, and not surprisingly, confusing. This guy's writing a lot lately, and it's all been pretty good. The Losers is also great this week.

Notable books of past weeks include: New Stray Bullets, Lapham's Batman, cool new Gotham Central storyline.

By the way, the OC was excellent last week, with a running Spider-man theme. Don't know if anyone caught it. I gotta say, while I love the amount of 90s music, I'm a little thrown, since the characters are way too young for it. Boyz II Men played a big part in the last episode, as did Blind Melon, and a cover of Champagne Supernova. So good. I also watched "The Pink Panther," for the first time all the way through. Peter Sellers is so funny. Inspector Clousseau has become kind of a cliche, but there are a few scenes of slapstick brilliance. He's not in the film nearly enough. I've been a blogging fiend lately. Someone step in here and break up my nonsense.

Dude, SEVEN Soldiers will be launching SEVEN limited series, not four. They will be scattered all over the next few months, which means on some months, we'll have at least four Morrison books at one time. Maybe one every week. God bless that man and his shiny, british head.
