First Looks for August 30

   Didn't get any takers for gaming today, so I read the First Looks. Skimmed a few books I wasn't planning to buy (Black Panther, Trials of Shazam), wasn't convinced to add 'em. Also read the OHOTMU, but didn't type up anything for it.

   X-Factor #10: Marvel - More pencillers, same murky inker. At least the pencillers are tight enough that the splotched of black fill have less effect. Amusing bits here and there, but largely about tossing out the beginnings of threads. Provisionallly recommended. $2.99/$3.75Cb
   She-Hulk v2 #11: Marvel - One mystery resolved, another deepens. A more serious story than Slott usually delivers, although not totally without humor. Recommended. $2.99/$3.75Cn
   American Way #7 (of 8): DC/Wildstorm - It gears up for the end. There are smaller losses and victories here, and it's definitely the ethical climax of the series...people finally decide where to stand, whether they have anything worth dying for. Definitely getting set up for some dying, that's for sure. Recommended. $2.99/$4.00Cn
