THE FLASH #8
Written by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato art by Francis
Manapul
The flash is trapped in the speed force and dose battle with a super
powered WW2 fighter pilot. Now that's some damn awesome stuff
happening right there. The explanation of the speed force is a wee
bit clunky though yeah I guess it is being told by a mad man but the
issue sort of went back and forth on what was causing the flash's
current problems and what he is in relation to the speed force. Well
it felt like it did at least to me anyway. The new kinda villain
turbine was pretty cool. Just a guy trying to get home to his own
time. In an oddly dick move from Barry he provokes turbine in to
attacking him by telling him he cant go home to the 40s. Yeah Barry
gives him a timey whimey reason but still man. Dick move Barry. Dick
move. And as always the art is AMAZING and really gets a chance to
shine with all the weird background swirly dimension thingys
happening.
AQUAMAN #8
written by Geoff Johns art by Ivan Reis
How cool is it that aquaman has his own book again ? Pretty sweet
likes. So six years ago aquaman was a 90s anti hero. Cool I can dig
it. Now not only was he a 90s anti hero he had his own team of 90s
anti heroes. Ok fair enough. Now not only was aquaman the red ranger
of that team but as shown so far he was the biggest bastard on the
team. Yeah sometimes you can go to far trying to make aquaman a bad
ass. Amazingly team aquaman turn out to be pretty cool guys, choosing
to save civilians over taken revenge on the villain there chasing.
Well played goff man. The issue still has the same problem that the
book has had from the start, that being issues fly by too fast.
Though I guess that's a good thing always wanting more from the comic
after putting it down. Well played indeed. The best thing about the
book continues to be the art. Is just so god damn warm and summery.

LANTERN NEW GUARDIANS #8
written by Brain Tony Bedard art by Tyler Kirkham
Its pish. But I'm still reading it. I don't know why. Tradition I
guess ? Nostalgia for when the world was young and news of a lantern
ranger book was world rocking ? Yeah that sounds about right. I spose
you could say this issue was better than the lasts few that came
before it what with it being a sort of spotlight issue for yellow
lantern what's his name. Its eight months in and I DONT KNOW HIS
NAME. Well we get an issue of what's his name being buddy cops with
the weaponer of qward. Yeah ok that was pretty fun. And oh yeah the
sinestro corps don't exist any more. That happened and I totally
forgot about it. In my head I still thought they were kicking about
in space some ware. But oh wells I'm sure they will be back one day.
The book is still even this far in wasting it potential as the
lantern rangers book. They don't feel like a team in anyway with them
always bickering amongst themselves. Yeah I get that's one of the
things that happen with super teams but there's a difference between
bickering and banter and the team has yet to reach the fun banter
stage. The lantern rangers aren't even really a team any more by the
end of the issue with each member splitting off to do there own
thing. Yeah wasted potential.
TEEN TITANS #8
written by Scott
Lobdell art by IG Guara
Things get mind
screwy this issue when the titans bring the beat down to “omen”
but sadly its the annoying kind of mind screw not the interesting
thought provoking kind. Well this was a struggle to get through. Now
it wasny baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. Its just that the book is so
mellow dramatic with everyone being so cheesy in they way they talk.
Except when they don't. Which is even more annoying. Its still one of
those meh middle of the road books that shows glimpse of potential
that stop me from dropping it. Plus the titans new costumes all have
tron lines awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeah.

AVENGERS VS X-MEN THE
FIGHTS #1

man vs magneto written by Jason Aaron art by Adam Kubert
the
thing vs namor written by Kathryn Immonen art by Stuart Immonen
Awww
yessssssss. Finally ! A comic all about fighting. Hell the god damn
yes !!! Now I know I said the fighting over in the main avengers vs
x-men book were boring. Now that's because they were. Very boring
even. Buts that's because they wernt really proper fights but the set
up for fights. Now guess that's what the fights are like in most
event comics and every event has a thousand god damn tie in comics to
expand those fights but its nice to have a dedicated comic that is
all just fights. The comic is split into two fights the first being
iron man vs magneto. Now this went down exactly just like I thought
it would what with iron man's non metallic armour though it dose get
a fair bit crazier than I thought it would with mag's making his own
suit of power armour out of satellite's and iron man using the
magnetic POWAH of Jupiter. Yeah shit gets a little crazy all right. A
damn gid fight if a little clunky in places. The second fight is the
thing vs namor the submariner. Aye not the first guys that spring to
mind when I think avengers or x-men but damn awesome none the less.
This fight had a VERY old school feel with both combatants trading
witty one liners with each other that got me genuinely laughing. Now
maybe its just me but with this fight taking place in water it made
it so much more summery and that's very important for an event comic
at least in my opinion. So yeah the fights. SURPRISINGLY worth it.
