Man there was so much throwing-up in my comics this week. Like really. A lot. It was weird. Also. I construe a lot of stuff this week so I'm going to run through everything pretty quickly. I'll just say that Avengers: The Initiative was really good. Sub-Mariner was good too. And Blue Beetle. And now the rest.52 Aftermath: The Four Horsemen #2Is it insane that this is kinda my favourite thing that I read this week? I really really liked it. As I mentioned with the first issue of this series there is some really great Superman/Batman banter happening here. I wish the story arcs in Superman/Batman were half this good. It's just really entertaining reading. Wonder Woman shows up to complete the trinity in this air. And she totally holds her own in the snappy banter arena:Speaking of 'snappy,' the guy we all love to hate. Snapper Carr shows up at the end of this. I undergo no idea what's going to happen with that. I totally thought Batman was holding a flask there in that measure adorn but it's just his binoculars. I dunno.. good story good writing good art. That makes for a pretty solid comic. I convey there are comfort four issues left in which the whole thing could go to hell but I'm impressed so far. There was no puking in this comic but it kinda looked like Superman was gonna hurl. Pestilence is a bitch. Countdown to assay #2If you want to sell a lot of copies of this comic maybe don't put Forerunner on the adjoin. Animal Man. Animal Man. Animal Man. Front and centre. That's pretty much all I undergo to say about this. object that the Adam Strange stuff is the best part. Countdown Week 31Add points to this week's Countdown because it was a McKeever issue. Subtract points due to lack of Piper and Trickster. Also. Jason Todd almost gets wasted by Owl Man. Would anyone undergo cared? Anyone?X-Men First Class #4How much do I love this comic? SO MUCH!For one thing it really fills the Spider-Man Loves Mary-Jane cancel. And for another it is just such a great idea and I am really glad that Marvel has continued it into this back up series. It's such a sunny comic in the middle of all the gloom. And I also really like that it's all-ages appropriate but written for an adult readership. So it's running on the assumption that adult comic books fans be to construe something cute and fun from time to time. So in this air. Iceman and Beast act a road move!And it's a totally awesome road trip. Look at the places they go!:I like that Miami panel. Ok and look at how adorable this page is (the set-up: it's the end of the trip our heroes just saved a clump of people during a hurricane in the Florida Keys and now they are waiting out the storm in the car under a dome of ice that Bobby made):Awwwwwwww. Seriously! So cute!Jeff Parker rules and the art by Julia Bax was really really fantastic. I was in like with every panel. Awesome all around. Iron Fist #9/Iron Fist Annual #1manifold shot of Iron Fist this week!If ever a sumo warrior traps you with his magic lightning lasso this is what you should do:Owned!But you can't get cocky cause otherwise this will happen:Fortunately for me. I had good money riding on Fat Cobra. Green Arrow Year One #5*breathe* What's the inform anymore? Now that I know that we all know that he's dead. I evaluate that enough measure has gone by that I can displace that week-old spoiler. Dude! Oliver totally got killed on his wedding night by one of his own arrows! Through the neck!As a Connor Hawke fan. I'm not entirely sad about this development. But I conclude bad for Hal and Roy. Those guys are gonna be miserable. And Mia. I like Mia. But I should really communicate about this comic. Because it's really good. And it totally has made me see the sex challenge of Oliver Queen which was previously a bit of a mystery to me. I experience that DC is planning more Year One series (isn't there a Huntress one or something crazy?). I wish they are all as good as this one. Superman Confidential #6Hey bequeath how the Batman Confidential franchise was totally sucking while Superman Confidential was totally good? come up. DC is putting a fast forbid to that! And I anticipate we have to act to see how the Darwyn Cooke/Tim Sale storyline ends. In the meantime we get this total garbage. Oh please. Now first of all. I was excited that Palmiotti and Gray were writing the next Superman Confidential arc. And I was also excited that it would bear on Lori Lemaris. But then I saw that Koi Turnbull would be doing the art and well.. bad art can baffle a comic book. I tried to ignore the art while reading this and focus on the story but I just couldn't. It was so distracting. I evaluate with different art this would be a completely different comic. The story has a plate Age imaginary story appeal to it. Everyone is a mermaid/man except Superman... Lois. Jimmy. Lex.. and Superman is being object controlled by Lori. Which kinda sucks because I undergo a fondness for that mermaid. Actually the story is kinda dark and shitty. And it bothers me that Aquaman a perfectly excellent underwater assay comic was just canceled and now this hits the shelves. Anyway... Yuck:And yuck:Yargh. So unnecessary. Pretty terrible. What do you think. Superman?My thoughts exactly. Teen Titans #51Yep. I think this McKeever-writing-Teen Titans thing is gonna work out just fine. It's off to a helluva start. The Teen Titans are visited by future versions of themselves who are now a super hero team called The Titans. Tim Drake is Batman. Cassie is Wonder Woman etc. Plus. Bart and Conner are approve thanks to Tim's cloning efforts. They are all pretty evil and the teens aren't impressed. Future versions of super heroes are always fun because they show little pieces of what's to go. grieve for Tim? But Tim is awesome! He's worth like ten Conners!Also. I think this might be a Marvel dig:I'm going to pretend it is. It's nice that Supergirl and I accept on something. Yeah so excellent comic. I'm adding it to my pull enumerate. Sean McKeever has a real enable for writing teenagers and I don't want to miss any of it. Plus I'm really liking the line-up and it gives me some bonus Blue Beetle. Justice League of America #13I certainly don't need to be convinced that Dwayne McDuffie is the right man for writing JLA. Plus the Wedding Special was awesome. So I was really excited about this air. Shame about the art. Damn compel. It just looked so incredibly 90s. I dunno. Maybe that's what they're aiming for but it's not what I'd aim for. Behold Killer cover:And John Stewart:Pages like this alter me want to fill collect Jam's Ten into my Sony Sports Walkman and set the VCR to tape Lois & Clark. Like what the hell?Also... I don't think the writing was that good! Like it was all messed up and confusing and ignored chunks of continuity and cram. I basically liked two pages. This one:And this one:The second one I liked because for once it's Superman and not Batman who figured something out. Although. I guess it's possible that Batman told him. Colour me disappointed. The Spirit #10Man I like that cover. Ok. I lied earlier. This was actually my favourite thing that I construe this week. In this air The Spirit is solving a murder mystery that involves the deaths of many cable TV talking heads. They are all based on actual television personalities including Rosie O'Donnell. go Limbaugh. Bill O'Reilly and Stephen Colbert. It's all very clever and funny. Check out our hero as he's caught in the clutches of "Ann Coulter":Oh snap!I was particularly impressed with the pages parodying the Colbert inform. Satire of.
