THE FLASH #6
Written by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato art by Francis Manapul
Captain colds got an upgrade and is out for flash's blood ! Who knew the lack of sleeves made you stronger ? They must have been weighted. Right so flash is gid. Now by that I mean that its well written and the art is always amazing. I think you get that by now its pretty much all I say about this book when it pops up here on quickies. But daaaaaaaaaam flash is gid. Its one of those comicy comics that I love so much. Like this issue the flash fights captain cold. AND ITS AWESOME. Its a welcome change as despite how fun the last five issues were I was getting a wee bit board with mob rule and there slight brown shooter-nes. But only a wee bit. The plot point of the speed force being too dangerous to use continues on from last issue and I sort of like the way its been done which is weird for me as I don't normally like these power limiting story lines but all that's happened is the flash has been given a speedometer. And that's kinda cool in my opinion and fits in well with the hole theme of you know speed. It wont last but its so far not been as fun draining as it could have been.
AQUAMAN #6
written by Geoff Johns art by Ivan Reis
Mera go's shopping. hilarity ensues. She brakes a dudes arm and almost kills another guy. Yeah they both deserved it but still. So yeah this was a spotlight issue focusing on Mera who's aquaman's wife. Actually I'm not sure about that is she his wife ? Like in the new 52 ? or was she even his wife back in the day during the last universe ? I could just check. I am on the internet just now. It would take like two seconds. It would preserve my reviewers integrity. Naahhhhh ill just keep writing and see ware that takes me. So Mera's kicking about town trying to buy dog food because aquaman has a dog now and I think we can all see just how awesome that is. The quest for dog food leads to her getting perved on by this pervy guy. Who's a pervert. The issues AMAZINGLY unsubtle about showing that. I mean that's the point but that dudes got baaaaalllls man. She then gets her self arrested for the arm breaking shenanigans so she can help out with a hostage situation. It dosent go that well. She takes most of the water out of the bad guys body with her water control powers showing that she's a better aquaman than aquaman is. The hostage was like the bad guys daughter and she dosent take too kindly to her fathers all most murder even though her father KILLED her mother. Yeah. Mera makes a friend by the end of the issue so alls well.
GREEN LANTERN NEW GUARDIANS #6
written by Brain Tony Bedard art by Tyler Kirkham
The lantern rangers fight a slightly Kirby space god of light. Ohhh new guardians why are you being that guy ? I don't want to drop you but your trying very hard to make me. Its not that your a bad comic. It's not like your like your emo brother the red lanterns book that did something that was both insanely dumb AND offensive to me that I had to drop it. No the problem is your just ever so slightly bland. Now I don't mind blandness that much its just your the wrong kind of bland for me. You also suffer quite heavily from the sickness of generic lantern art, so even your bland story's cant be saved by nice art. Your also not written by the big goff and sadly that means your filler. Now I don't want to be that guy that says just because a certain book isn't written by a certain big name writer that book is instantly filler but in the case of green lantern book its sadly true. The big goff man is there true daddy and if he's not writing them then there filler. This months issue was slightly more interesting than the rest as the teams fighting a villain who says he's actually the good guy. Aaaaaaaaaaannnnd he has a point most of the lantern rangers are bad guys its only really the blue and green lanterns that are true good guy's and even then kyles gone all renegade on the corps. Still I don't know what to feel about this book but maybe if it introduced a juice bar to the plot....
TEEN TITANS #6
written by Scott Lobdell art by Brett Booth
The titans after getting beat buy superboy sort of mooch around static shocks place while they try to cure kid flash of speed force instability. Firstly ill say this, static shock built a robot dinosaur. AWWW YEAH. As we all know there's not much that's more awesome than robot dinosaurs. Its literally only in the comic for one panel and it is slightly bayformers-ish but the comic is much better for its inclusion. Also it has tron lines. The comic itself was all right its like new guardians in that its not all that awesome or well written but unlike blandy Mc blandington up there teen titans dose have some gid banter here and there and most of the characters are entertainingly genre savvy. Mainly bunker. Who's gay by the way. Did the comic not mention that he was gay? Because he is indeed gay if you didn't know.
FANTASTIC FOUR# 603
written by Jonathan Hickman art by Barry Kitson
The fantastic four fight an epic battle against mad space gods in space and it is epic. I'm going to say this upfront, Dr Doom dose not appear in this issue yet again. I can only hope there building to something with him. If not shit will get real. However this comic was bloody amazing even without the god of awesome that is doom. The entire run of FF and the return of the main fantastic four book was completely worth it as build up for this issue. Firstly galactus is a proper pimp. He gets jumped by the four space gods and he's like ILL TAKE YOU ALL ON !!! which he dose killing one of them but then and I am going to put my reviewer cred on the line and say is most likely going to be one of the highlights of the entire year for me a least, THE FOUR GODS COMBINE. Omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was so amazingly awesome after all combining is the soul of man ! So galactus is like petty dead after getting hit was the combined gods energy and falling to earth so the fantastic four rig up a god killing gun back on earth that was nicely set up in previous issues. They mange to de combine the gods but its not enough to kill them out right and end the threat so all hope looks lost but future franklin and valeria show up for a nice cliffhanger. Now ill wait and see how that turns out but I feel they missed a trick there it should have been Doom that turned up and saved the say there. I can see it now he'd be all battle damaged and be all like “see you bastards ! Ahm no done with you yet !”
UTIMATE COMICS SPIDER-MAN #7
written by Brain Michael Bendis art by Chris Samnee
Miles learns how to be spider-man in a nice training arc issue. Well here we are seven issues in and miles realises he cant shoot webs. Um why ? I kinda get that he dosent know that peter built his own web shooters and he might have thought they were an organic deal that came with the other spider powers but shield gave him his new suit so shouldn't they have given him web shooters too ? I'm pretty sure they knew what they were and that miles would need a pair and its not like it be hard for them to build . Maybe its just nick fury taking the pish. The prowler in a feat of epic dickery kills the tinkerer this issue. See before he was stealth deadpool and a pretty cool guy. Now he's just a murderer. Way to drop the ball bendis. Still loving the current art and I cant complement it enough. So I wont.
Slightly is a damn gid word
