Uggg...It's "clean hamster cage" day. So, what do I do? THOUGHTS!
Secret Avengers #5
The secret of Nick Fury is revealed...or, should I say "Max."
I liked this issue much better than the previous ones. Of course, we get another comic with a whole lot of talking and backstory; but, at least it kept me entertained. My only critical thought would be why has Max not been seen for five years, and suddenly he has to take down the Secret Avengers. (And, that also means they aren't that Secret.)
Superman/Batman #76
This is what I get! I ask my LCS to put S/B #75 in my box last month, and now they added the whole title to my pull list. I let them know to take me back off, as this book really doesn't interest me; but, I went ahead and picked up this one-off story anyway. All I can say is at least I only paid three bucks for it.
Kind of "little too late," we get a fill-in story showing Superman's reaction to Bruce's death during Final Crisis and his feeling toward Dick taking over the reigns of Batman. I felt it was a waste of time to read this sentimental story, especially since Bruce should be returning very, very soon. It just reinforces why I don't buy this title, unless I find old issues in a 50 cent or cheaper sale bin.
Avengers #5
Another "whole lotta talk, not much action" Marvel comic. Everything is finally explained...it is pretty interesting...and, I always love to see what a writer is going to do with Ultron next. Thing is...we only really got 21 pages of story with a BUNCH of ads mixed in to make it seem bigger than it actually is. (Plus, is anyone reading the backup "Oral History" of the Avengers? I sure am not.) I don't mind the higher price when we get more pages of story; but, this issue really didn't give us that much.
for the story, but a
for the rip-off.
Black Widow #6
Another good issue that gives the reader a good amount of dialogue, intrigue, and action. I'll miss this book when it's eventually cancelled; but, for now, I'll enjoy the ride.
