Okay, I guess I see what the problem is. You guys don't accept it unless the reviews are bitter diatribes against Marvel and the particular comic being reviewed. I also won't use spoiler tags, because for some inane reason, that actually upsets people. But I always say, give the people what they want.
With that in mind, the all-new re-tooled "Official Early Bought/Thought Thread **SPOILERS** "
Runaways #26 - Well, what did you expect with the Punisher on the cover? If JQ wanted to make a blatant push for this comic, why didn't he just slap Spidey and Wolvie in an issue (whoops, been there, done that). As usual, the "guest appearance" provides nothing more than some cheap laughs, as Molly practically disembowels him with a super-punch. Well. Isn't this the guy who has stood up to pretty much every major character in the MU and lived to talk about it?! The same guy that survived Vietnam/ Are you telling me this highly trained soldier let a little chidler get the better of him? Come. On. And ninjas? Is the House of Ideas so out of them that this is the only well to draw from. Hello? I guess since Frank killed all the low-levels at Stilt-Mans funeral, ninjas are all we got left. Chalk up another one to the brain trust at Marvel. (And can we PLEASE cool it on the ads for Comic Collector Live every three freakin' pages. We get it. We can download it. Stop now. And isn't nine pages of ads getting to be kind of excessive? I mean, who reading these things is going to buy a jeep for God's sake.) So, ninjas, Kingpin, Runaways running away with a gadget, which turns out to be a flux capacitor, because you guessed it, the Runaways are going Back in Time......Can you say Jump the Shark?
