comic book quikies 12.1.12

What did I just say not five minutes ago. Time moves way too fast these days. Its Tuesday again. How the actual hell did that happen ? I could swear I had more time to play with. Really it this point its more spooky than confusing though it still is confusing. HOW DOSE TIME WORK.

GREEN LANTERN #10

written by Geoff Johns art by Doug mahnke

I'm sorry I complained about this arc way back when it started all those years ago. Yeah its only been about four months but still. Aye so all this indigo tribe pish has turned out to be be pretty damn gid. Finally stuff is happening again with hal now fully aware that the guardians are mad bastards. You'd have thought he'd have noticed sooner but meh he's had a lot on his plate that auld Hal Jordan. Mainly being kirk from star trek but still. I'm still not all that happy about sinestros buddy cop development but he was more lad-ish this issue so ill let that slide. For now. They really need to make him a full buddy cop sharpish. Its been ten god damn months and he's still space Hitler. Thought at this point space Hitler is more of a heroic good guy than the guardians of the galaxy. It will be interesting to see ware the blue space lads go wither there plan for ULTIMATE POWAH. I'm guessing nowhere but maybe the big goff lad will surprise us.

SUPERBOY #10

written by Scott Lobdell art Sebastian Fiumara 

Again this issue really surprised me with how much I really enjoyed it. Don't know what to say. Maybe it was the change in art that did it for me. Cuz the art was really nice all sketchy and stuff. Plot wise it was superboy and wonder girl lost of a desert island. They weren't really lost as they can both fly and it was more of a jungle island but lost on a desert island was the vibe the comic was going for. Castaway on a desert island ! That's what I'm getting at. Comic did get me thinking can wonder woman fly ? I really should know the answer to that . She is one of the big three over at DC. Never really read wonder woman so I cant be sure. Ill have to look into that. Aye so this comic was a lot of fun. Which is good. Comics should be fun. Not dark and depressing point making things. No they should be fun like batman paunching dinosaurs into space ! Batman dosent paunch any dinosaurs into space in this issue. I'm sorry. Batmans not in this issue at all. This issue DOSE have dinosaurs though. Which is cool. Dinosaurs are one of those basic ingredients in awesomeness. Your comic not awesome enough ? BOOOOOOM drop a dinosaur in from orbit ! So yeah this is one of superboys happy issues. He still brings up the fact he's a living weapon but he dosent go all angsty about it. Count that as a win.

FRANKENSTEIN AGENT OF S.H.A.D.E #10

written by jeff lemire ? i could sware it was the new guy. mind blown. art by Alberto Ponticelli

Aye so its all change this issue. Well that's what I should be saying. The writers changed so that should mean all change every ware. But naw the new guys just carrying on ware the other dude left off. Maybe I'm just jumping the gun and this new guys just a gust writer but I remember being told that frankys book was getting a change of creative team. I was disappointed to here that as this book had been damn entertaining up to this point. Gotta say though this issue was still pretty gid. A little confusing in places and a little rushed but still pretty gid. I think its because the auld artist stayed on. I say stayed on this might be a interlude guest spot issue thingy. Anyway it was gid, lots of fighting lots of bug men. Lots of poetry. Eh not really my thang but I see ware there age going with it. Oh wait no actually I don't. There a mystery developing I here that's totally out of my grasp. I get the feeling that references are being made that I don't get. Fair enough likes. Gid issue of a gid book.

BATMAN# 10

FANTASTIC FOUR #607

written by Jonathan Hickman art by Giuseppe Camuncoli

Dose anybody care about the black panther. I'm not putting anybody down. Id genuinely like to know. I dunno man something about the auld lad rubs me the wrong way. He's just so smug. He's probs not but I cant stand all this pish about wakanda being all super advanced. He keeps talking about it and I'm like GET TO FUCK. It just gets to me is all. If it had all this powah why dosent someone invade and take it over. Aye I here dr doom tried and failed so I'm going to put that one down to a doom bot. Aye I'm playing favourites. So what about it. Norman Osborn tried to invade asguard so its not like there aren't people out there crazy enough to try try and take a super advanced nation on. Aye ranting about stuff I don't understand all right. Still a good issue all right.

DEATHSTROKE # 10

written and art by rob liefeld

See right canny really defend this comic. Like I said last time. Its bad. Really really bad. But that's not the point. Not the point at all. See its a comic written AND drawn by rob liefeld. We live in a world ware that's possible. Logically I'm not sure how to think about that but it makes me feel happy. Yes I do like liefelds work ironically. How can you not. Its so very bad that it becomes so very funny. There is a part of me that genuinely likes his work. All the shoulder pads and pouches. All the bad art and grim dumb plots. Its so 90s. Yes I'm terminally nostalgic but not for 90s comics as I never read American comics back in the day and only found out about the dark age relevantly recently so I cant claim that its nostalgia that blinds me to the truth. Stll ill chance my luck and say I thought this issue showed signs of improvement in both art and story. Now it was still bad. There's this one page of lobo riding a motor cycle that's hilarious. Aye so I liked it .

comic book quickies 12/6/12

Ahh this week. I don't know what happened to this week. Well I do. But its not that much of an justified reason. I'm lazy all right, I shouldn't have left it this long to write this quickies. But I did. And know all the shame in the world has saddled up to my front door. Its a hefty shame. It weighs down on my shoulders. Like some sort of hefty weighty thing. But you got to know I'm like an auld man theses days. Time flys by so god damn fast. See last Friday. That just happened but it feels so long ago to me. The sinister thing is that the opposite is true. See Christmas ? That feels like last week. Half a year ago feels like last week you see what I mean ? Its sinister this adult time. It trys to mess with your head. Your sitting there aww like I can put off this weeks comic reviews for a wee while then boooooooooooooom its the space year 3029. so my point is I'm just lazy.

ACTION COMICS # 10

written by Grant Morrison art rags morales

Action comics is gid likes. I'm almost positive iv said that before but I'm going to keep on saying that. Mainly because it is gid but also that's all I can really say about it. Overall its pretty gid. Some issues are not all that gid but most are fairly gid and there are some that are damn gid. Its been like a year so I feel I should clarify that when I say gid what I really mean is that its good. I'm Scottish you see. Hopefully iv beaten that fact into your face by know. Action comics might not be everyone's cup of tea. Its weird like. Course its weird its Morrison after all. But damn its weird. Not out of this world. Heh. Out of this world. Superman. Heh. Yeah its not offensively weird and its not too mind bendingly weird. Yet. And I think we can all agree its not Japan weird. No its just got this weird tone to it. And like I said during its first few moths I found it hard to get to grips with that tone. To grapple with it if you will. To grab it with BOTH HANDS. I personally love it. Its like the big guy of week one. The big boss if you get me. Always the first to be read. Like last month the cover was all this issue superman of earth 23. so aye that shites totes getting read first. You know to drink in the madness. Aye so this issue was gid.

DETECTIVE COMICS #10

written and art by Tony S. Daniel

Detective comics. Its quite pish really. Well to me anyway. I'm no a big fan of the overly grim and gritty style of writing's comics. Well that is until I am. Depends how well its done and what type of grim and gritty it is. I'm probably too quick to brand something grim and gritty ill admit that. But see this detective comics run. Its just so god damn brown. Batman for the cod generation. Hmmm that's harsh. And not particularly accurate. Grungy is another word id chuck at it. The art dose have that blurry grungy vibe to it. And that's nice. Cant accuse it of not sticking to its guns in that way. Though I suppose it has gotten just a tad sillier of late was 60s batman grade villains making appearances. There's been this back up story featuring two face. I'm like aye two face he's a bit of a lad. But hoo lee hell I just really don't care. Like at all. AT ALL. If the main story's brown. The back up is some sort of new as yet un discovered ultra brown. Now that dosny make it instantly bad. Its just I go to read it and I cant. Its grittiness is paralysing. So I'm not giving this book a fair chance. I'm sorry. If something epic and blazingly soulful happens suddenly ill let you know.

JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL #10

written by Dan Jurgens art Aaron Lopresti

Why justice league international. Why. You were a lad. No you were more than that. You were MY lad. What happened to you ? You used to be the guy. Back in the day you were more justice leaguey than the main justice league book. But now. God. Look at you. Your about average. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN. You had a gid team. Not a grate team but ll the pieces were there. Plenty of lads. The problem is nobody really got to do anything. Yeah you beat tron lined kirby space miner dude. Fair enough likes but that was a hell of a long time ago. Yeah damn. Those were the glory days. But now its the end of days. The JLI is ending. Depressing. Why DC. Why. Yeah its not been as gid. But harsh likes. Ill miss you JLI you were a lad. Ill never forget that. You are a lad. Manly tears people of the internet. Manly tears

MUDMAN #4

written and art by pual girst

Buy mudman please. Its so very very gid. Its about this guy with mud powers. He's a lad. You knew I was going to say he was a lad and I just did. Right there. Because he is. Hmmm how to explain. Its a very well written and drawn comic. Hmmm well that was short. Its a very British comic. Now not in that novelty all Britain is England and of Britain is London kind of way. No its got that special laid back casual tone to it. And there's this bus likes. The sheer VIBE. Of this bus. It's practically indescribable. Its an actual British bus. Pretty standard stuff I here here you say. Naw pal. That bus made my day. What ever day that was. Last Friday or was it Saturday ? See what I mean about time moving too fast but also way too slow ? So the Paul girst lad. He's knocking the book out the park. Aye very American way of saying its damn fine comic but I feel a book this good deserves it. People should read mudman. Its very gid.

AVENGERS VS X-MEN #5

written by team marvel art by jr jr

So I hope you all remember what Tony stark did during civil war. I remember. You should all remember. He was a god damn Nazi. An honest to god Nazi. I'm not joking and I'm not taking the pish. I want to like iron man. But god damn do marvel make it hard to like that negative zone concentration camp building bastard. Id welcome it if marvel ever tried to do a new fifty two style reboot so that all the insane character ruing things stark did could be washed away. Now I have to say with this issue stark might have puled it back. He built an iron mecha and used it to kill the phoenix. It was glorious. And I know what your saying. I can here you now. But stark has built mecha before. Aye fair enough. Last time I noticed was the hulk buster armour from world war hulk and that was no that flashy. Aye so big lad stark might and I say might just have pulled it back. Oh aye this comic was avengers vs x-men. Sorta forgot about that what with all this mecha talk. Aye so Cyclops's x-men team is the phoenix now. Yes all of them. Yeah Cyclops was a MASSIVE bastard before but god damn he's more unbearable now than ever. Also namor king of the oceans has fire god powers now. Aye naw pal. I hope the ocean takes namor aside at some point down the like and asks him what the shite he's up to. Aye so a quite liked this issue.
