Last Couple Weeks of Comics

Comics from the past couple of weeks.

Scalped Vol. 2 Casino Boogie - This started bad and ended good. The cool part about this was how it retold the same day from so many characters points of view. It also made me realize that I don't like the protagonist.
Faker - Pretty random and pretty good. Very dark and cynical.
Powers Annual #1 - I needed my Power's fix and took it. This series also seems to be behind in TPBs, much like Invincible.
Secret Invasion #1 - Not sure why I'm reading this, but I want it to be good. Of course iFanboy spoiled it in a mini so I didn't get too much extra from reading it.
Un-Men Vol. 1 Get Your Freak On - This was fun and dark. I don't know anything about the Swamp Thing background of these characters and this story was so so. I'm not sure if I'll check out the next one.
Palestine - Need to read this. I enjoyed his book about the Balkan war so much I really wanted to check this out.
Serenity #2 - I really really really don't know what this isn't an ongoing series. You can tell there are so many stories still to be told. It isn't boring or lame like the Buffy and Angel series' and t works in comic book form.
Dead Space #2 - The first issue was good, decent story, good art, and a reasonable universe, this one was pretty bland. Oh well.

Arab in America - I finally got around to reading this. I wanted to like this, I wanted to be interested by it, and I wanted to learn something. I was disappointed and felt like all I read was someone rant about how they like no one and everyone is wrong.
