Comic book quickies 6th may 2011




Fear Itself Book 2
written by Matt Faction art by Stuart Immonen.
We are only 2 issues in so its hard to tell if it can last the distance but so far Fear Itself has been a pretty pretty damn awesome event comic. story wise asgardian god of fear has been released from his prison and brought seven Thor like hammers down across the globe starting a world wide crisis. The arts fantastic and really makes it feel like a summer blockbuster . You might say its cynical to have a Thor centric event just as the new films out but that's countered by the fact that every single thing Thor says in this issue is just plain awesome. I mean it every single word. And as far as it meeting my quota for action is concerned you cant really go wrong with Nazi mechs invading the US.


Future Foundation#2
written by Jonathan Hickman art by Steve Epting
This is a damn pretty book all right. So the future foundation have to fix doctor dooms brain damage . Ok I'm fine excepting Dr doom has brain damage as iv not been following the fantastic four until last issue but what I don't get is WHY they have to fix him , I mean its DOCTOR DOOM he's going to betray you at some point and even if he dosent in this series he will at some other point not too far down the line. That aside it was a pretty funky read.


Batman Beyond#5
written by Adam Beechen art by Ryan Benjamin
This books been a wee bit shakey since it got promoted form limited series to a monthly title but this issue feels stronger than the previous arc about the future justice league. The arts the arts probably not to everyone's tastes but I like it as its just cartoony enough. Its mostly set up this issue for the last page reveal of an old returning villain but it was worth it. Hopefully the next few issues will continue with the improvements.
