ACTION COMICS #5
written by Grant Morrison art Andy Kubert
Well it's the SHOCKING never before told .... origin of superman. Huh? Yeah its superman's origin again. That's cool I spose. Well worth a interlude for. So superman's mum and dad are trying to get off krypton's as it about to explode. Its all very sci fi and the only really awesome thing that happens is krypto the superdog mauling ghost general zod. Really that was the highlight of the issue for me nothing ells really popped out because most of it was just the origin and the rest was ma and pa kent finding supe's. We get the origin of that tin foil goat from issue two so .... yeah GO MORRISON ! I feel like there's a joke in there but I'm missing it. It wasn't a bad issue but I'm back to feeling that Morrison's action comics hasn't been all that grate. Don't get me wrong its been a gid read so far but its not lived up to the hype. Mainly because the opening arc has been so un-opening arc-ish. Well at least for superman. Morrison's superman so far hasn't lived up his batman, memetic badass that he is but maybe old superman just need a healthy run up.
DETECTIVE COMICS #5
written and art by Tony S. Daniel
Batman fights small time crooks and a NINJA JOKER then has to deal with crowds that have gathered at a shine for the joker outside gotham park. Gid issue not much to talk about really. It was setting up the penguin as the big bad for the next wee while which is awesome as that meaty doll maker dude was just too meh for my likening. That hole shrine to the joke thing didn't really bother me at first but the more I think about it the more it seems to fly in the face of my belief that the general public of the DC universe was less MIND BLOWINGLY INSANE than that of the the marvel universe but I guess this is a new world and its young too so maybe it just needs the insane beaten out of it. Fun comic though and I'm glad it at least took a short brake from the grim dark meat thang its been rocking since issue one.
JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL #5
written by Dan Jurgens art Aaron Lopresti
WHAT A COMIC LIKES. A proper pure comic that's not bogged down with blood or gore or hate or death or bleakness or hipsterness or emotion. Just a pure comicy comic from the 80s, the nice 80s not the grim dark Allen moor 80s you always here about. So the JLI fight the tron lined apocalyptic space miner in what looks to be the final battle of the arc. And its epic. There's also banter. MUCH banter. Between HUMANS. Man what a team book! hopefully its doing well in sales id hate for it to be canceled. And the art is AWESOME. So bright and vivid. Also there is tron lines.
RED LANTERNS #5
written by Peter Milligan art by Ed Benes
Ware JLI is a ture 80s comic red lanterns is very 90s. In a bad way. It's got rob liefeld-ish art but that's not really the main problem that honer belongs to the fact that not a bloody thing has happened. Pun intended. Ohh things have happened not actual things though, not thing things that actually matter. And I could get into that I really could, like iv said before I like filler but the problem is northing really awesome has happened. At all. I cant really remember anything about the last four issues other than grim dark stuff happened and it was red. That's about it. There's been this B plot running though the book about these two guys who's granddad was murdered by some street punk well that came to a head this issue after one of the dudes is arrested for getting back at the punk. That's all fine and dandy but when the dude resists arrest THE COPS BEAT HIM TO DEATH. TO FUCKING DEATH. ON THE STREET. BRITISH FUCKING COPS. AGGGGHHHHHHHH! TO DEATH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah red lanterns is getting dropped.
MUDMAN # 2
written and art by Paul Girst
Ohhh the contrast ! Mudman is awesome !! very very awesome. In much the same way that the JLI is. Its just a pure comic made of fun. And mud. Its also got quite the heft to it, like its just a nice book to hold. Maybe that makes me sound just a tad mad but the paper quality is just wonderful. You may notice I really haven't talked about what actually happened in the comic that's because I find it hard to talk about things I like, there's only so menny times I can say some thing's awesome and I really like mudman. Its just so awesome. Ha! GO READ IT NOW
