Here are Babs' picks of the week!

 

  
 
This week we have a lot of books coming out, but I have chosen a few that I think look really good. One of which, I have reviewed a bit early, so I can vouch for that one at the very least! Sit back, relax, and take a look! Are any of these on your pull list?

Dooder!  You totally took a bite out of Ryan's gummy bear!  That thing is going to end up having a chunk in everyone's tummies!!! 
 
Also, I like that you dropped the "comedy shtick".  Not that you aren't funny...you are...but it feels slightly less awkward.

I remember Ryan got two, he said he'd eaten one of them and I remember in the unpacking video he took a bite out of an ear of one of them. Dunno if that was the one in this video though, someone must've gotten another one.
 
Great video again, I think Stand-Up Comics has improved significantly.

I'm not suprised when I saw Namor on the background wall. Am I right when I heard on a podcast, that Namor is Babs' favourite superhero? 
Anyway, good review and that is the biggest gummybear I've ever seen!

Nice job. got a kick out of this one.  I love these vids you guys are doing, a great decision for the site!   
In the background on the "wall" I see Namor, natch, but  I also see ' GMA sucks'.   What's that a reference to, if any?  I also  see Red L.A.M.P.'s handiwork.....

So chewy you could almost say it's "gummy".
 
I'm cautious about the whole Image crossover. If they can make the story work for them, then bravo. I just don't know how this is going to go. Let's also hope this isn't going to be abused the way Marvel has done these past few years.
It really is the preview art that looks good.

I always heard British food was bad. You might want to try a little soylent green after that. I think you might like the streusel-topped pumpkin pie I baked more.

Image United brings to mind the WildC.A.T.S show. I'm I the only one who remembers that?

@babs: Good review even though Image United would be the only comic since I know more about Witchblade, Savage Dragon & Spawn than any of the other characters from that group of comic characters

@Namor1987: I think Image is a partner of Top Cow.
And Wichblade is owned by Top Cow.
And another thing ... is The Darknes in Image United?

Basically yes, Top Cow is part of Image.  Like if you go to Image's site, you'll see Top Cow listings.  They have branched out and fleshed out their own books.  Jim Valentino has his Shadowline.  Jim Lee's Wildstorm was part of Image but was bought by DC.
