The mystery deepens as this BRIGHTEST DAY tie-in continues!

Baltimore: The Plague Ships #1
selected by ZeroWriter: Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden
Artist: Ben Stenbeck

Months after a devastating plague ends World War I, Europe is suddenly flooded with deadly vampires. Lord Henry Baltimore, a soldier determined to wipe out the monsters, is on the hunt for the creature responsible for this chaos and his own personal tragedy. What he uncovers is a terror as horrific and frightening as any he's seen on the battlefield. $3.50


If you would like to join the group it's easy. Just post a review and I'll add you to the member's list. As long as you stay active, eventually it will be your turn to make a pick.

With $4 comics becoming the norm, the economy being what it is and the growing popularity of mail order services the Review Group recognizes that it's becoming harder and harder to commit to participating each and every week. As long as you can post one review per calendar month you will stay in the member's list. It doesn't matter if you post your review the week of it's release or if you post it later. Going forward, there is no such thing as a "late" review.

The only request I make with the new format is that if you don't plan on posting a review or if you're going to be posting late is that you drop a note in the thread so that I can keep track of who is active and who isn't. The Spreadsheet of Doom is thorough, but it can't read your mind.


Comics are to be scored on a scale from 1-10. 1 being suck, 10 being a damn good comic. Beyond that, there's no right or wrong.


If it's your week, you must announce your selection by 5pm EST the day Diamond releases it's shipping list. If you do not announce your pick at that time, I will add a poll to the thread that will remain open until 12pm EST so that the group can make the selection for that week. (If you're seriously MIA, I'll probably put the poll up sooner) To ensure that you know it's your week, I will PM you when Midtown's list goes live on Thursdays.

Wow, we've had some pretty low rated books lately.

[Punchy]

Wow, we've had some pretty low rated books lately.

I think some Reviewers enjoy being unnecessarily harsh.

[IvCNuB4]

Capt Atom's "side adventure" in this issue is pretty cool. I wonder if this is a prelude to "Flash-Point"

Batman And Robin, Gorilla-Man and Time Masters were all good books.

[thefourthman]

Batman And Robin, Gorilla-Man and Time Masters were all good books.

Batman and Robin was good. Gorilla Man was average. Time Masters was stupid, but I still liked it.

[S.F. Jude Terror]

Batman And Robin, Gorilla-Man and Time Masters were all good books.

Time Masters was dreck. And it was unnecessary dreck.

[Punchy]

Time Masters was dreck. And it was unnecessary dreck.

All comics are unnecessary!

Except maybe Scott Pilgrim.

Scott Pilgrim is poster child for unnecessary dreck.

You liked SP this time last week! What's wrong with you?

[thefourthman]

You liked SP this time last week! What's wrong with you?

wrong, I read volume 6 two weeks ago and stated my distaste for it in various threads. I like vol 2-5. I like half of volume 1 and detest vol 6.
