So red lanterns got dropped. Its last issue was just too much for me. It wasn't easy for me to let go of but I gave it five issues and then issue five happened in all its horribleness. So its dropped.
ACTION COMICS #6
written by Grant Morrison art Andy Kubert
Superman fights a tentacle monster, a dinosaur and a GOD DAMN BULL ! First things first this Is a damn hefty comic like yeah it has a back up story that certainly adds to the heft but the first story is just so damn packed its unbelievable. Now I was a wee bit sleepy when I was reading comics this so that may be part of why it felt like it just wouldn't end but reading through it again it still seems jam packed with just plenty going on. I barely got the gist of it the first time through but it made more sense to me than last issue maybe because superman punches dudes. I like that. Now this two month interlude seemed pretty mad when I first herd about it seeing as stuff had just gotten real back in issue four what with that hole brainiac thing going on but after this issue id say it was still mad but at least it was fun and justified in a timey wimey way. I'm likening the back up story's as well so far thieve acted as the books hart when compared to the main story's action silliness and this book really needed that, well it still would be awesome without the backups but its much more awesome with them if you get what I mean. This time the back up was about Clark leavening smallville for college and putting his affairs in order. It was incredibly nostalgic. I can totally get behind that.
DETECTIVE COMICS #6
written and art by Tony S. Daniel
Batman shoots a guys toes off. Yeah. Because he's the god damn batman. Right so there's two books going on in this issue. Two books with two very different feels. First we've got the grim dark brownness of batman fighting small time crooks like he's been doing from the start of this new detective comics run which was fine back in the day ( back in the day being six months ago) but now its really starting to drag. The second part of the issue is EVERYTHING to do with the penguin who is written like he's straight out of the Adam west show. NOW THATS AWESOME. Its mainly the wahs he puts into his speech but that's enough for me to love it. It also looks like penguins putting a team together and that's always fun. We also get a sixties TV batman style cliffhanger ending that's even ice themed. So yeah I'm likening the fun parts and really getting board with the grim dark brown parts but like I said above I was just a wee bit tired when I was reading comics this week maybe a wee bit too tired to enjoy this yin properly it really felt like it wouldn't end but not in a good way like action comics.
JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL #6
written by Dan Jurgens art Aaron Lopresti
OH MY YES. What a comic. So gid. So damn gid. Like when I read this book I feel like I'm reading a comic. You get what I mean ? Like it has action and characters. So this is like your standard issue six aftermath plot that you get after most five issue arcs come to a end ware you take an issue out from the action to evaluate what just went down and to set up plot points for the next arc. Now that's what this issue is but it dosent matter in the slightest mainly because at the start we get BUUDY COP batman and booster gold. Yes shit just got real. Remember way back at the start of this book how I said that how batman always has boosters back no matter how bad it look like he's screwed up ? Yeah we get five hole pages of that here. And it is GLORIOUS !!! I really have no way to put into words how awesome batman's faith in booster is. Then rocks fall and the party dies.
