Well it's a month of DC #2's. Does anyone else feel like the magic's gone? Can any of you out there remember those long lost days of September, when the world was young and every week was full of new #1's? Now we're just left with #2's - seems like the rebootaverse is feeling a bit old now doesn't it? Ah wells, it'll probs get rebooted soon enough. Can you picture it? #1's 52 weeks of the year! Kidding by the way. ONWARDS TO COMICS!
GREEN LANTERN #2
Written by Geoff Johns art by Doug Mahnke
Right lads so spoilers OK. You cool with that? Hal Jordan gets the ring back this issue. See it dident take 6 months to a year or anything, Sinestro just deputised him which is a pretty cool way to do it. It basically makes Hal Sinestro's slave as space Hitler can turn off the ring when he feels like it. Points to Hal though for kamehameha-ing space Hitler the second he gets the ring. It didn't work but its the right response. Sinestro being a Green Lantern again is just mental but Sinestro being the main green lantern is even more mental! It's good that they made Hal a lantern again as soon as they could - hopefully he'll brake free of Sinestro's control using FIGHTING SPIRIT or something or other so they can be proper buddy cops together. IN SPACE.
SUPERBOY #2
Written by Scott Lobdell art R.B Silva
I didn't buy the first issue of Superboy (not sure why maybe it was already a big week). Anyways, the other Mad Hatters were saying it was pretty gid so a thought I might pick up #2 if it was a cheap week. Then I saw #2's cover and thought "Holy hell yeah that's awesome, superboy fights a street shark. YEAH!". That's totally worth picking it up for and yeah Superboy does fight a street shark - three infact. Pretty cools so I'll pick up the second printing of #1 when it comes out. So I'm pretty torn, I was going to refer to Superboy as Shinjiboy cuz the story's pretty eveagelion-ish what with Superboy being a clone and being used by a sinister organisation and on the cover he kinda looks like Shinji - he even kinda has a plug suit. But now Linkara has pointed out that this Superboy is Mewtwo, yes the Pokemon Mewtwo. He's a clone that has uncontrollable psychic powers, and he's being used by a sinister organisation. So Shinjiboy or Mewtwoboy? - I'll get back to you on that.
FRANKENSTEIN AGENT OF S.H.A.D.E #2
Written by Jeff Lemire art by Alberto Ponticelli
Well this continues to be loads of fun. Frankenstein pimp slaps an old woman across the room on page two. It's not often we get a page two old woman pimp slapping that's completely justified but here we do. The town that Franky and his team had been sent to rescue had been sacrificing their children to dimension monsters for generations. That's damn sick and we see all theirbones at the bottom of a lake. Despite that it's still a fun book about good monsters fighting actual monsters. We also get the back story of the female Abe sapien and it's pretty sad and just a wee bit creepy. A jam packed book!
FF #10
Written by Jonathan Hickman art Barry Kitson
See I like this book and I keep buying this book, but I've got no idea what's going on. It's been fun though and it usually has pretty art but if I'm being honest I basically buy it for DOOM and sadly he wasn't being that bad ass this issue what with him being a slave of alternate universe reed Richards but hopefully that will change soon. The in-human stuff is a drag on the story and it's not so much I don't know what's going on with those guys it's just that I don't really care. Banter was fine this issue though.
ULTIMATE COMICS ALL NEW SPIDER-MAN #3
Written by Brain Michael Bendis art by Sara Pichelli
Well holy hell lads how awesome is the schedule for this book, it's out like every 2 weeks right? From Bendis that's crazy we might even see the end of the new dudes origin story in our lifetimes! This was so much fun it's what I'd call a meaty story - stuff happened! Miles did some proper hero work saving people from a fire and was thanked for it which is kinda a big thing in the very mutant hateing ultimate universe and he moved to his new boarding school maybe setting up a school arc. However miles is being all I don't wanna be a hero I just want to be normal !which sucks I guess its the more real way to wright it but dudes if you got spider powers and not even super powers but bloody spider powers ! Your gonna got out there and be awesome cause your bloody spider man !
