The Movement #1

We are faceless. We are limitless. We see all. And we do not forgive.

Who defends the powerless against the GREEDY and the CORRUPT? Who protects the homeless and poverty-stricken from those who would PREY upon them in the DARK OF NIGHT?

When those who are sworn to protect us abuse their power, when toxic government calls down super-human lackeys to force order upon the populace…finally, there is a force, a citizen’s army, to push order BACK.

Let those who abuse the system know this as well: We have our OWN super humans now. They are not afraid of your badges or Leagues. And they will not be SILENCED.

We are your neighbors. We are your co-workers. And we are your children.

He declares the brutish Clegane, a bannerman of House Lannister, guilty of treason and dispatches men to bring him to justice. Knowing that this will increase the enmity of the powerful Lannisters, Eddard decides that he must send his daughters, Sansa and Arya, home to Winterfell. Meanwhile, another Lannister, Tyrion-the Imp-gains savage new allies in his quest for vengeance against Lady Stark. And Eddard, enlightened by the unwitting Arya, moves against Cersei Lannister . . . yet acts with a mercy he may come to regret.

And while PRS fashions a radical plan for getting the kids back, Peter Stanchek and the Renegades are following visions right into the heart of the Harbinger Wars.

So, there’s the rundown of the Top 20 comics that you should check out this week. Of course, there’s more, such as Batwing and Animal Man for DC Comics, but there’s also a few graphic novels hitting shelves today which I thought I’d briefly share with you. Superman fans will be glad to see that Grant Morrison’s first two Volumes of Action Comics for the New 52 are released today, Superman and the Men of Steel (TPB) and Bulletproof (HC). On the Marvel side of things we have the first volume of Cable and the X-Force hitting shelves today in TPB format.

The comics that I’ve got on my pullist are Aquaman #19, Green Arrow #20, Age of Ultron #7, All New X-Men #11, Hawkeye #10 and Superior Spider-Man #9. But as mentioned earlier I won’t be picking them until Friday, but I might pick up a few back issues or a few other issues as well depending on how things go. I also should be picking up Astonishing X-Men Vol. 2: Dangerous, which should be good indeed because I loved the first volume and have put off picking up Vol.2 for too long. But now that’s out of the way, what comics are on your pullist? Let me know in the comments below.
