Last week I debuted the first entry into the new volume of XTREME Holofoil Edition, which you can still read here, and I stated that this week will be a retrospective on JLA Deluxe Hardcover vol.1 (The first 9 issues of JLA by Morrison and JLA Confidential #1 from Millar) and as you can tell, it’s not here yet.
There are reasons for that. The biggest reason was that I never got a chance to build a buffer like I wanted, and as such, rough weeks will lead to delays, quick. I’ve been ill since my 21st birthday and I haven’t had the chance to ever recover. It’s been a terrible time and I’m still struggling to get answers from the doctor.
I say this because I cannot guarantee a solid review schedule. I’m going to do my best to release content weekly. If I cannot, I will double the output that following week. Heck given the sheer amount of material I am determined to cover I might even double or even triple ship a week.
This also means I’m going to slim down the review themselves. At the end of Heroes Reborn I was averaging 3,000 words a review, and 2,500 words in the recent Youngblood Review. That is a lot of words to put down on paper for a single comic. I’m going to cut the synopsis down some. I’m going to aim to get the recap section down to one paragraph. This is similar to what I originally started doing with XHE but decided to do the method I’ve been using for the past reviews because it allowed me to sneak more images into the reviews.
I just don’t have the time to do something that isn’t truly relevant to the review. I think the critical half is the most important and should be the focus of the review.
So yeah I’m going to try to release XHE: JLA sometime this week along with another review. I will say October will have a Spawn review planned.

I heard this week’s review is Captain America #407 aka Capwolf!

You are correct. I am going to try my best to get JLA deluxe out sometime but it’s not crucial. I want to do some “Halloween”-esque reviews with Capwolf, Xombi, and Spawn. I’m debating the third “Horror” comic but probably be something of the Midnight Sons.
I am also considering some double review weeks and posting some non-horror books. I have Mighty Crusaders circa 1984ish lined up along with some Union and Jon Sable Freelance.
I want to touch on some lesser known comics. I’ve been sticking to these Important books for sometime and it gets old. That’s why I love the kooky oddball stuff.

It seems to me that you need to TRIPLE-SHIP this week!

Well, the circa-1984 Mighty Crusaders review makes sense, since Archie is planning a new version of the series called the ‘New Crusaders’ which will debut in Spring 2012! It will return to the ‘Original Continuity’ of the MLJ Heroes (1959 to 1985), but with some remnants of Impact transferred over for good measure!
