The pretty gid comic book quickies 13/11/11


Despite being a pretty sparse week we got some damn solid comics out of it. And hey we even picked up a marvel ! So it looks like the lads over at marvel might have picked themselves up showered themselves off and got back to work after there apocalyptic panic attacks of the last few months in the wake of the new 52.



GREEN LANTERN #3
written by Geoff Johns art by Doug Mahnke

See what I was saying last month aboot hal and sinestro being buddy cops ? Yeah there totally buddy cops. AND IT IS GLORIOUS. You know what I'm talking about its like starsky and hutch, kittan and kamina or BRIAN BLESSED and pretty much anyone. See I think pretty much the hoal GL fan base will be ok with sinestro being a green lantern again if it means he's written as the stricked bad cop to hal's fun good cop and that's basically this issue. Iv only been reading green lantern since blackest night so I'm not sure how much evil sinestro has actually done but I know there was a war and he is space Hitler so I'm guessing he's a pretty bad dude and that might make it hard to for some people to accept him as a buddy cop. This issue was the buddy cop's going to sinestos home planet to free it from his old yellow lantern corps's. It had its share of funky moments like the two turning there GL suits to stealth mode and space Hitler DRILLING through one of his former mooks. A fun book well worth picking up.


SUPERBOY #3
written by Scott Lobdell art R.B Silva

Right so superboy is shinji ikari from neon genesis evangelion but in a fun way. I think I just divided by zero. Its hard to deny that eva has been bolted onto this book though, well I spose its a mixing of different things like he is also mewtwo and he is wareing a new style tron suit but its that eva flavour that comes through the strongest. The lad was gendo posing over in teen titans for peat sake. Sadly shinji-boy dosent fight a street shark this issue but what we did get was a highly entertaining read. Basically its superboys first interaction with people in the real world. Its just fun to read, the dudes not really met anyone before and is it only me that finds it funny/awesome that he introduces himself as superboy not meaning it a super hero name or a boast but that's just his name. And then he fights a lava girl and that's always fun. And we end the issue on kinda sorta fan service. Sweet.



FRANKENSTEIN AGENT OF S.H.A.D.E #3
written by Jeff Lemire art by Alberto Ponticelli

So this mountain turns into a giant monster bug and Frankenstein pulls its hart out and stabs it to death with his sword. Funk yeah I'm glad I bought this book its just so damn gid ! That's pretty much all you need to know about this book right there Frankenstein kills a monster mountain bug and he dose it like an orkish BRIAN BLESSED Klingon. And the teams mummy khalis kills a continents worth of mooks with one energy attack. Normally I'm not big on genocide but those monster dudes were gonna kill earth so I guess its cool. And by that I mean its BLODDY awesome. I had my doubts about this book before issue one thinking that it be a gory horror book but much like a have been with the rest on the new 52 iv been proven totally wrong. its like ranger team hellboy! Which I guess makes it like the B.P.R.D... but meh RANGER TEAM HELLBOY !


ULTIMATE COMICS ALL NEW SPIDER-MAN #4
written by Brain Michael Bendis art by Sara Pichelli

Well the schedule has slipped back to monthly so we might not see the origin story to the end but hopefully we will be survived be our children and grandchildren to carry on in our place. Still purty gid issue likes, milses is getting less emo but only after seeing peter die and getting the grate power speech off Gwen Stacy. Still think peats death was weak maybe if he had died fighting a city sized green goblin wareing a cape of his own blood whilst pointing to the heavens then maybe it be a cool death. Maybey. Also he'd shoot webs of fire. yeah this issue was indeed fun and I'm digging miles better now that the plots moving forward more. There's not really much to talk about this issue as it was mostly the death and funeral from different perspectives. Though it was hella cool and funny that miles has gained an inner monologue now that he's spider-man. Gid book go buy it !
