Welcome to my Last of the Best Bang for yer Comic Buck. For over 10+ months, I have been doing the Best Bang, week after week and I only missed a few weeks. Sure the initial idea for the Between the Staples website was based on the reviews I wrote for the Happy Harbor website eons ago. Later I decided to make those reviews into its own website. It has been a great run and I would like to thank those at Zeros 2 Heroes for allowing me the Best Bang to be featured on the their blog website. I do feel that the Best Bang has lost its charm. Everyone and their dog are now blogging the bite sized reviews along with the old classic long ranting reviews. I feel it is time for a change so I plan to start putting my mind into other ideas for the website. I also will be directing my energy into other venues like my writing. I have spent much more time worrying about the Best Bang each week than doing my web work that pays for my addiction. That has to change so for now… this is the last Best Bang until it rises from the ashes in its new form.
So all that said, I am going to spotlight only a hand full of great books this week as I found that there was not much to be excited about. Batman, Might Avengers and the final wrap up for The Death of the New Gods (which obviously is being overlooked in Countdown which makes no sense). Given all the New Gods are gone and the Fifth World is close to coming together (or has), I find it fitting that their heads will be the ranking for the Last of the Best Bang. Comics from Hourglass Comics as I did not have time to make it to Elfsar Comics & Toys this week.
