I remember the days when comics were meh. Those were the days. Bright shining days that never ended. Days when the world was young and full of fun. Sure there's still some meh comics out there but the weeks themselves have been solid for months now. Bloody DC. I remember the days when I could call most comics filler. Long lost days now. Gone to the broken abyss of summertime.
THE FLASH #2
Written by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato art by Francis Manapul
Holly hell yes. This is just what I want from a flash comic. See the way I see the flash is the version from the justice league cartoon, meaning I see him as the fun member of the team. Now I know that's somewhat the wrong way to see him but I dini care. To me the flash is fun and not the slightly emo guy form just before and during flashpoint. Its not like he's a plucky comic relief hero or anything he's just fun to read. Now we had our doubt's coming into this book what with the artist both drawing and writing it but damn have we been proved wrong so far. Basically the art makes this book and it'll be shame when and if there is B artist issue. Best art of the new 52 ? ill have to think about that.
AQUAMAN #2
written by Geoff Johns art by Ivan Reis
This was pretty gid just a wee bit shot is all. The comic starts with cthulhu putties eating dude's on a boat. That's not so bad but we then see a kid and his mum waiting for the boat at the docks ware we find out that its his dads boat. Harsh man. That kids all 1950s wide eyed gee mister type and now his dads dead and from the looks of it the kid and his mum are dead too. Brutal stuff. The comics still trying to make Aquaman awesome but it'll take some time and its not quite as hevey on the hoal the world thinks Aquaman sucks thing but its still present. So not as good as issue one and it maybe could have been if it had another genius panel of Aquaman standing over a treasure chest like the first did but its still a fun read if a little short.
GREEN LANTERN NEW GUARDIANS #2
written by Brain Tony Bedard art by Tyler Kirkham
Crazy guardians man! They totally just attack kyle for having other power rings and have brain washed ganthet to be a proper guardian again. They so crazy. So the ranger team hasn't properly formed yet but its getting there. The teams still at the fighting each other stage but its only issue 2 and the plots moving along at a fair pace, kyle's totally the red ranger but it'll be cool to see ware the other lanterns fit in to the team and how a yellow lantern can be on the team at all, spose that's not a big issue though as space Hitler is currently a green lantern again. it'll be interesting to see ware this book go's and what it dose to the main lantern status quo and even if it lasts at all. The arts fairly nice but it dose still suffer a bit for being generic lantern art.
TEEN TITANS #2
written by Scott Lobdell art by Brett Booth
Yeah stuff happened this issue and I might talk about that latter but I will always remember this as the comic ware superboy executes a GENDO POSE. Its a splash page and his only appearance in the comic. Yeah he's totally shinji boy. The comics aboot Tim drake putting a team together and that's always fun. The one thing I found weird with this issue is that Tim speaks like a teenager, not the weirdest thing in the world I know but I would have thought batman would have beaten that out of him by now and it feels a wee bit disconnected from issue one ware Tim was a bit more batman-ish but that might just be my imagination.
FF #11
written by Jonathan Hickman art by Barry Kitson
I bring terrible news. You might be wanting to sit down for this one. Doctor Doom dose not appear this issue. Cuts deep don't it? Dropped the ball on this one marvel Dooms the only reason to buy FF. He's Doom do I really have to go into detail on this one ? Last issue ware he was made a slave buy alternate universe reed Richards and I was ok with that as I thought well there just going to be building up to something cool with it but its not cool to not have him in an issue at all! HE'S THE HAERT AND SOUL OF THE TEAM! Basically this books just a massive pile up of villain plots that are probably all going to be solve in issue 600 whenever that's out but I might not get that depending on the price. Well done marvel.
