Week two week two its week two ! Have I explained the week system ? I feel like I have, I spose I could go back and check but that would take effort so here's a quick recap for you. Since DC launched the new 52 the weeks have been clearly defined as a four week cycle, last week was week one now that's a hell of a week with both action and detective comics oot. This weeks sort of a breather week as there's not too much oot to wreck the wallet with. Well now you know and knowing IS half the battle! Though you all probably know this already sorry to talk down to you my internet comic masters.
GREEN LANTERN #5
written by Geoff Johns art by Doug Mahnke
Sinestro leads his former people against his own yellow lanterns. Then his former people tell space Hitler to get the funk off world. So well played general public of korugar you've proved your already miles ahead of the marvel universes mental health. Pretty gid issue though I'm starting to wonder what sinestros long term plan is because the feeling I get from the events of this book are that its entirely possible that sinestro wants to be a proper green lantern again, there's really no reason for him to keep the ring on and he could have gone back to being his old self all ready. Maybe the grate space dictator just understands that he's part of a BUDDY COP TEAM and just gets at a very deep and primal level that to be a buddy cop is to be the most AMAZING thing in all creation, the very peak of all galactic EVOLUTION ! The guardians as of the last page of this issue are the big bads of the current ongoing arc. They actually say NOTHING CAN STOP US NOW !!! MAHAHAHHAHAAAHA ! Well they might not have laughed. There's a small chance I made that part up.
SUPERBOY #5
written by Scott Lobdell art R.B Silva
Super boy wares a bad ass hood and cape and turns his tron lights off to go rescue an old friend. He is only like three weeks old but he still gets to have old friends. So I'm sure last time I talked about how bi poler superboy is, like one issue he's all emo and thinks he's just a weapon but the next he's all its my life I'll live it the best I can. Well now I'm thinking its not the character that's bi poler its the entire book that's like that. So superboys back working for n.o.w.h.e.r.e which is like a less subtle nerve from neon genesis evangelion that's after “dangerous” teen meta humans. There gendo kills a bunch of his own mooks. I guess that all just fine and dandy. Not a bad issue by any means id just like it to be a little more consistent in favour of the those awesome I'm NOT a weapon issues.
FRANKENSTEIN AGENT OF S.H.A.D.E #5
written by Jeff Lemire art by Alberto Ponticelli
AWWWWWWWW HELLLS YES ! Frankenstein fights omac. AND IT WAS AMAZING. That's it really. This issue was part of a cross over with omac #5 but I never knew that till I read the first page of this book. WELL PLAYED DC. Wait not well played not well played at all, I might have got omac if I had known before hand. Happily you didn't have to buy omac to understand what was going on so points to franky for that. It was a nice all fight issue that starts with franky sort of on holiday in Tibet bringing the beat down to some man eating dwarfs. awesome. He gets called in by s.h.a.d.e and checkmate to bring in a run away omac. This leads to a fight and like I said earlier It was AWESOME. I went into this with some doubt think that it was a cheap cross over trying to drum up some new readers for omac but dammmm this is just what I needed after that last issue that left me depressed what with it reminding me of that god damn dark age comic that you can see still haunts me. It just left me with a warm fuzzy feeling inside my manly guts. Gotta say though the arts not for everyone with its sketchy jumbled look and even I found some of the panel layouts had to follow on first glance but give it a go its well worth a look.
Also what do you think of or new look ? Leave a comment and tell us what you think !
