comic book quickies 16/12/11

This weeks quickies was a bloody struggle to write. None of the comics were bad in any real way but for some reason they were kind of a downer to read. Shame really hopefully ill be in a better mood for next weeks which thanks to my laziness is almost here !


 
GREEN LANTERN #4
written by Geoff Johns art by Doug Mahnke

BUDDY COPS ! YEAH BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDY COPS !!! why do I like buddy cops so much ? I'm not really sure ..... its just that there buddy's that just happen to be cops. That just a cool concept right. So this issue Hal dosent DIE ! All right one down now just gotta see if batman and the flash are ok in there books. Back here we got the traditional hard ass cop aint so bad on the inside routine from sinestro which again how many people did he kill or is responsible for killing ? He is space Hitler after all. And that's all this issue is Hal and sinestro get captured. Yeah its one of those issues. Its defiantly an issue four all right like one of those inbetweens to pad out the story till the action happens in issue five. Not saying it was bad or anything its still full of buddy cop fun !


 
SUPERBOY #4
written by Scott Lobdell art R.B Silva

Superboy fights the diabolical might of Christmas carollers! then sets a Christmas tree ablaze with his firey soul ! And there's a bit of fan service too ! Anyone elles get the feeling superboys a wee bit bipolar ? He switches between likeable hero and a bit of a bastard at times and this issue he was kinda rocking a Scrooge vibe. I can sorta see ware he's coming from what with him being a living weapon and all that jazz its just weird that he flips depending on the issue or even the situation. The ending fight dose show that he's a good person at hart or at least that he thinks he is so that cool and it was a Xmas issue and we really needed one this year as DC issent putting out another larfleezs Xmas special. Poor show DC poor show.


 
FRANKENSTEIN AGENT OF S.H.A.D.E #4
written by Jeff Lemire art by Alberto Ponticelli

Frankenstein and the creatures commandos finish off the titans of monster planet and its pretty awesome. Sadly this issue was spoiled for me because there's a bit ware s.h.a.d.e busts out a new super weapon in the form of two giant spiked wheels of death and a army of robot red shirts. Now your probably thinking that sounds awesome and it is sadly it reminds me of a horrible dark age comic a read once ware there was big things killing a lot of dudes in kind of the same way that happens here. I know that's not fair of me but it was such a downer for me after the other issues were so damn awesome. On the bright side this first arc was only four issues long and not the standard five so no unnecessary padding here.
