Bought/Thought "Back from Vacation/Midterms suck" Edition Oct.25th

[GNR]

Justice #8-if we had another issue of Hal slumping around about what an ass he is,i would start getting worried,but we didn't,we got a beautiful one page splash of GL

the story moves along well with the heroes coming together at the FOS,meanwhile it looks like the Teen Titans will be used against them

can't say much more about this book,it's one of my top 3 and the quality is always there in all areas every 2 months

10/10

DD#90-this book has gotten real dark,maybe it's the coloring but I was thinking about dropping this,then I thought about how long I've been reading DD even buying all the past Bendis issues,I feel like I've been there for the whole ride ever since he got outed

so in a way,I really want to see what happens to Matt

8/10

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

I cant agree more with you about Justice this issue was great. Action comics was great as well if you liked For Tomorrow and Birthright.

 

[GNR]

I read through Action and didn't feel compelled to get.If the next issue is good,I'll buy both but I wasn't impressed with it.I did enjoy Birthright.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

When I say like Birthright and For Tomorrow I mean issue by issue this may not be your book but if you get the TPB then you may like it more(like how people felt with Birthright and For Tomorrow).

Captain America #23: The Drums of War (Part 2 of 3)

A good issue, although again a bit talky; Cap doesn't even make an appearance this, apart from visuals from Civil War #3-4, but our friend Nick "Secret Agent Man" Fury holograms in to talk with Bucky, and two of Marvel's top three villains meet to discuss business (admittedly, the third of Marvel's top three villains has voiced clear objections to being in the presence of one of the other two). This is really only tangentially related to the Civil War, as we get a look inside Nick Fury's operations (he is apparently in contact with Sharon as well). The Red Skull meets with Doctor Doom to pick up one an unnamed device from the good doctor, and drops more hints about his nefarious plan. 7/10.

Daredevil #90: The Devil Takes A Ride (Part 2 of 5)

In which Daredevil goes to Paris, torments various Parisian lowlifes with his poor French, and gets his ass handed to him by Tombstone. There's a bit more substance here than to the last issue, but I'm still not sure if this title is really for me (I love Brubaker's other work, but I'm not particularly interested in the Daredevil character), but I'm interested to see where this is going. 7/10.

Tomorrow: Action Comics #844, Darthphere will be proven right.

 

[Doc Destruction]

Nextwave - GREAT final panel.

Justice was great stuff, too. Uncle Sam is turning into an amazing book, so you should allll grab it now.

My balls? Sure.


*grabs*

 

[PWN3R]

Yeah Doc, Uncle Sam is owning on all cylinders.

And please, how was Nextwave?

 

[Darthphere]

Crappy, not funny, and boring, like every other issue probably.

 

[PWN3R]

Crappy, not funny, and boring, like every other issue probably.

Sweet, I'm in love already!

 

[GNR]

I would like to add how awesome the GL page and the last page of Justice were.Gorgeous.

Brubaker is good but I still think kevin smith wrote the perfect daredevil. His entire run is just flawless

 

[Darthphere]

LAWL worthy.

 

[hippy fascist]

LAWL worthy.

because...???

 

[Darthphere]

Because its not flawless. DUH!

 

[hippy fascist]

Because its not flawless. DUH!

no-one has done better daredevil in my eyes. He captured the interplay of his darkness and religion perfectly. He introduced echo who was awesome. He killed mysterio without telling the spider-man team he was going to woot. It's just great in every way. Admit it, as is so often the case, you are wrong

 

[hippy fascist]

USM spoilers please, seriously, I NEED to know what happened to MJ!!!!!

 

[Citizen_Kaine]

USM spoilers please, seriously, I NEED to know what happened to MJ!!!!!

She turns into a giant red goblin.

...with fur....

[Marcdachamp]

New Avengers- PICK OF THE WEEK! This whole arc has been great. The characterization's of The Sentry and Iron Man were terrific. I really enjoyed this issue. The retro cover was great, too. Red Ronin? How obscure! Also, Pasqual Ferry needs more regular Marvel work, because this was great. 9/10

Civil War: Choosing Sides- I liked this a lot. I enjoyed the US Agent story a lot more than I expected. I was hoping to see him fight Cap over in Civil War, but this is interesting. I'm always eager for more Killgrave. The Venom story was good, too. 9/10

Sensational Spider-Man- Very interesting ending. Chameleon might not have been beaten as badly as he was by MJ, but Aunt May proved she's sharper than ever. I liked that. I'm kind of wishing Peter stayed on the Pro-Registration side; the stories in this book are great and I'd love to see them continue. 9/10

Nextwave- Ellis, you rock. The FDR comment made me laugh my ass off, and Forbush Man and the Ultimates joke sealed the deal. Kudos. 9/10

Daredevil- Brubaker's crafting an interesting story. The opening was a little over-descriptive for my tastes, but the parts with Tombstone were good, and the ending left me wanting more. 8/10

Captain America- Really liked seeing Bucky's reaction to the Civil War. He's becoming a great character. His one-shot should be good. Also nice to see Nick working behind the scenes and being pro-active. The ending... very strange, but I can't wait to see more. 8/10

Ultimate Spider-Man- Marvel... what the ****? You put an advertisement right in the middle of a two-page spread? Anyway, it didn't seem like much happened, but it was pretty intense. I liked seeing the FF take Pete's side. That was unexpected, but not more so than the ending... 8/10

Justice- There is a LOT going on here. Fortunatly, it's not overwhelming like another massive DC story. Wow, Ralph Dibney sure came off dickish, here. There's a world threatening crisis and you're worried about your value to the team? I've always liked Plastic Man more, anyway. Batman had some great moments, and we got a great splash page of Hal "I'm nowhere near as interesting as Kyle" Jordan. 8/10

Stan Lee Meets The Thing- Not bad, but not as good as the last two. I actually liked the Roy Thomas story better than the head-liner. Still, these are a lot of fun, and are a great tribute. 7/10

Black Panther- Well well well. This is surprising. Hudlin has come up with one of the most interesting ideas I've seen during his entire run on this title. Should make the Civil War tie-in issues, and the future of this book, pretty entertaining. I find the super advanced Wakandan tech from 70 years ago kind of lame, though. The dialogue felt a little off too, but otherwise, pretty decent. 7/10

Excaliber- An interesting end, I suppose. Nothing too horrible, but nothing really spectacular, either. The history of the Black Knight was cool, as well as the history of the sword, but it all seemed to end quickly. Tied up a little too tight. I liked the appearence of another big Marvel dragon, but this arc didn't exactly sell me on continuing with this book. 6/10

 

[GNR]

Don't be dissing Jordan Marc,I will send ninjas after you.Oh yes,you will have a crisis on your hands.

Hippy,you obviously haven't read Bendis' Daredevil.

 

[GNR]

ha ha...no seriously

Seriously,I read thru this in store and saw it.

 

[Not Jake]

ACTION COMICS #844

Art was fantastic, almost as good as Pete Woods'. Jonathan Kent sure looks young though. I thought Johns' transitions between scenes were weak...non-existant weak. Two displays of movie Superman cheese--Superman takes a cigar away from Sarge Steel because the super-kid is around, and later, Superman tells some breakfast-eating well-wishers to remember to drink their orange juice. But you know, I can buy it, because Superman is pretty lame. That's kind of why he's cool...his lameness. Otherwise, good enough issue for me, it has my interest. Didn't think it was great, but it definitely didn't suck. The final page was pretty great, though.


52 WEEK #25

later


TRIALS OF SHAZAM #3

Well, it was OK. I dunno. It's okay. I liked the first two issues better. This issue wasn't bad, but not good...


DAREDEVIL #90

way later
