Roy has at least 10 more years of ass tappage to pull that off.

Darthphere said:52 Week 18-52 has finally IMO started to get the engines going as this issue continues its streak of solid, actual relevant issues. This issue explores the discovery of Dr. fate's helmet and its purpose. Detective Chimp seeks out Ralph Dibny to investigate this as the helemt has already killed a man. Along with the Shadowpact, they go to Egypt and Ralph has a conversation with the helmet as the Shadowpact looks on dumbfounded, as he speeds off with helmet in hand. In other news, Black Adam rewards "Charlie" and Montoya for stopping the terrorist child at his wedding, though Montoya is too busy doing the dirty dirty with a person of the female equation. Overall great issue really seemed like possibly the best so far. Booster's wedding was comedic and sad at the same time and look forward to see where this Daniel Carter crap goes. 8/10

Darthphere said:Action Comics #842-Busiek and Woods, what a creative team. I wish they would stay on the title longer but of course thats not going to happen. The Auctioner or whatever his name is on Earth and auctioning off The Satue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower among other things to off world bidders, thats until he finds a more valubale iten, Metahumans. As he traps Superman up along with others like The Veteran and Bluejay, Nightwing and Fiestorm team up to help theme scape. A very entertaining issue, with some of the best covers ever, even with The Simpsons reference. Great run on Actions which I will be sad to see end. 9/10
Phaedrus45 said:I forgot to point out something that came to mind with 52 and Shadowpact. As everyone knows who read 52 this week, the Shadowpact show up. But, in the Shadowpact series, we are told that the Shadowpact disappeared for a year within a barrier. I always understood that the Shadowpact disappeared for that year right after Infinite Crisis, and are now back on the scene, making their comic current with stuff currently happening within the DCU. So, from their new series, their appearance in 52 shouldn't have happened. Anyone with any insights, or do I have the timetable down wrong?
Very nice.PWN3R RANGER said:good pic from the week:

And I was surprised you didn't like SM:B&W&RAO, even though I admitted it's release was a bit awkward and smelt of just getting out another Spider-book this week. It wasn't perfect but it was a compact little Spider-Man story. But maybe that's because I don't read many of the main titles.Phaedrus45 said:Wow. I just finished reading the other reviews, and am surprised so many people really didn't like Warsong. For me, I find the Cuckoo Sisters to be really fascinating, and their link to Emma, Kid Omega, and Phoenix would be very apparent and definitely worth exploring.
The other surprise was people like Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. I wish this series would die, and I find this some of Peter David's worst work. The whole idea of bringing back Flash in this "I've got amnesia" is the most morning soap opera element in a Marvel comic today. Heck, I enjoyed his Marvel Adventures Spider-Man this week more than FNS.

If it makes you feel any better, PAD's FNSM technically has been seeing sales drop off slowly but steadily almost every issue.
