THOUGHT:
52 #9 - What can I say except the story just gets more and more interesting as it goes. Or, should I say "stories".
BEYOND #1 - I dub thee: Secret Wars II Redux! A great start with great art and some characters I don't mind seeing getting some recognition again. Plus, what a cliffhanger to leave off on! Hope it keeps it up through all the issues.
FRANKLIN RICHARDS SON OF A GENIUS - Brilliantly funny. I love these strips! They remind me so much of the Mini Marvels of yesteryear (a new one which made a don't blink appearance in some comics last month). Man, Franklin's really a brat in these, ain't he? Three new strips plus a backup that has run in a couple issues a few months ago mean a whole lot of Frankliny goodness. Hope there's more coming.
LAST PLANET STANDING #5 - And so it ends. A new Galactus is born of the Silver Surfer, and the MC2 universe exists to go on another day. That is until Spider-Girl #100 comes out Wed, and then it's all over. Bastards. The mini was good; not over the top, not too subtle, just a classic feeling old-school tale from the one aspect of Marvel that gives us old fans the kind of comics we want that don't exist anymore.
MARVEL TEAM-UP #22 - Evil Iron Man's back! Freedom Ring in a coma! Titannus reborn! Man, the ****'s gonna hit the fan here.
MARVEL WESTERNS KID COLT & ARIZONA GIRL - Another Western updated classic and reprints. The main story was pretty good. So good I wouldn't mind seeing a series of sorts with them so long as these guys were the ones who did it. And reprints...what can I say about reprints except I friggin' love 'em! Best idea. Ever.
MARVEL'S GREATEST COMICS FF#52 - This issue was clever. Remember the Savage Dragon that came out a few months ago with the retro and extremely aged cover? Well, Marvel decided to go one step further and resent this issue in it's entirety completely UNRESTORED. That's right, every flaw a comic would have after 40 years aside from rips or creases is present. My only gripe is they took it a bit TOO far. I've got a couple 60s comics and they don't look nowhere near as bad as this. Plus, just where are those creases and rips? May as well go the full nines, right? Anyways, this is the first appearance of the Black Panther which can either be viewed as a tie-in to his wedding, his role in the next Ultimate Avengers movie or the 40th anniversary of this comic. Take your pick.
NEW EXCALIBUR #9 - A set-up issue tieing the series into Apocalypse vs. Dracula. Chamber's back and all patched up and Excalibur has to decide what to do about him. Not much really happens here unless you're a Chamber fan.
PUNISHER #35 - With all this build up I can't wait to see some mother****ers get what's coming to them. And hopefully Frank's sloppiness won't mess things up for his brand of...Punishment. Baraccuda could be the next Jigsaw for Frank; too bad he's gotta die.
SECRET SIX #2 - Payback for hurting Knockout is really a *****. The bad guys get back together to try and figure out who has a price on their heads. Not to mention it looks like they've just recruited the Mad Hatter. Truly a great follow-up to a great mini. And the art is MUCH better this time out.
SUPERMAN RETURNS LOIS LANE #4 - This one ties in much better to the movies than Lex did. Once again we have a recap of Lois' moments from the original movie and an insight into her frame of mind before she goes and writes that damning article about Supes. Overall, I'd say Lex's was the weakest of the prequels. Hope the actual adaptation is good; my shop didn't get it so hafta wait and see.
SUPERGIRL #7 - Yes, I AM confused. Story has me completely lost again. Seems like Loeb and spin-offs from Loeb have that ability.
TEEN TITANS #37 - The Doom Patrol gets taken down a notch and the Titans start to come together. Not to mention some teenage angsty drama coming through the cracks. Seriously, if some DC fan comes along and tells me all the previous Titans were THIS good, I may just hafta go buy all the backissues.
THING #8 - Yet another series which went underappreciated by the masses so hacks like Bendis can reign supreme. It ends gracefully on a laugh during a poker tournament with Ben and all his friends, with three side-stories told throughout in the truly hillarious and character-affirming manner Slott has become known for. If you have yet to read anything by Dan Slott, you're just missing out. He has a new series coming out after Civil War, I suggest you buy it.
