Hey there sports fans. Light week all
right. Only five books to pick up. Damn solid though is the thing.
Makes a change it has to be said. Each week has been jam packed with
comics for ages now. Iv been considering dropping a few things. But
GOD DAMN. Every things just too damn good to let go. Quality is like
way high across the board. And even the titles I should realistically
drop I cant. Because of madness. Blue beetle has ended. To be fair. I
think. I did here it was ending quite awhile back. Again to be fair I
can see why. The beetles book just wassny living up to what it could
be. It wasny overly bad. Just meh. It went with the hole jamies life
is shite angle and I don't get why any one would think that's a good
idea. Damn shame really. The blue beetle deserves a well written and
fun book. Hopefully he'll get another chance some ware down the line.
Any way on to this week !
TEEN TITANS #16
written by scott
lobdell and fabian nicieza art by brett booth
Right so here me
out on this one. Actually surprisingly good. I know right. There's
something about that cover that makes me feel guh. Its just weirdly
meh. Enthusiasm drainingly so. BUT the actual comic was pretty damn
decent. its the second teen titans issue tieing into the batman death
of the family cross over arc threw the connection with red robin. We
do get a few appearances from the other titans but there basically
here to comment on there cross over with red hood and the outlaws and
set up further plot points for latter issues of titans. Most of the
meat of the issue is red robin and red hood being buddy cops. It
works. Red robin is a tad unbareble for my likening. Were always told
how smart he is and that's never really followed up on with anything
all too memorable. Red hoods kind of a lad in comparison. Jeason
todds has been getting some good press from me lately. He's been fun
in actual batman and in batman inc. now there both buddy coping
because thieve been kidnapped by the joker. Right so the joker likes.
He references kirks fight with the gorn. That's the best use of the
joker since marvel vs dc. Witch admittedly was just the other week
for me. The death of the family tie ins have been pretty fine if you
ask me. Almost everyone of them has been over shadowed by the actual
batman book but that's been knocking it out of the park so that's to
be expected.
THE FLASH #16
written francis
manapul and brian buccellato art by francis manapul
I don't think it
can be said enough. Francis manapuls art on the flash is fooooking
amazing. It really is fooooking amazing. Right. There. I said it
enough. For now. Gorilla grod continues his assault this week. That's
another thing about this book. It totally just has shite like gorilla
grod kicking about. I very much appreciate the super funness of this.
Now stuff has been getting real for wee barry allan. Well basically
stuff hasn't stopped getting real for him since issue one. I kinda
like that. Normally I'm a monster/problem of the week type of guy and
this sort of extended stuff happening plot turns me off a book. Not
so here. Here it works. Mostly because of that super fun element.
Patty now knows barry is the flash. And she's cool with it. MORE
COMICS SHOULD BE LIKE THIS. Now yes the world is kind of ending
thanks to grod. Well not factually ending but in a dramatic sense so
patty's taking well as there sort of operating in a war footing frame
of mind so the reveal is sandwiched between more crazy shite. Barry
was cutting about in last weeks super girl. Being a lad. you's should
go check that out likes. It has some perfect ass banter from barry.
Much like barrys banter from early issues of the justice league.
Barry banter. That should be a thing.
AQUAMAN #16
written by geoff
johns art by paul pelletier
Quality comics
happening right here people. The throne of Atlantis crossover arc
continues to chug onwards. Its going well if you ask me. Its got that
all important momentum behind it. Importantly its also avoiding the
nasty businesses of encompassing too many books as other cross overs
of this type do. I'm looking at you green lantern books. Shame on you
for you many many poorly defined cross over events. AQUAMAN though.
He's a bit of a on again off again lad. He as a character is sort of
the most boaring thing about the book. As I've said before he's the
least interesting and weakest guy on the aqua ranger team. usely
being the normal guy on the team makes you awesome but he dosent
carry that vibe off all that well. EVERTHING ELLE'S is awesome
though. Like everything. And if its not inherently awesome then its
smothered in the awesomeness of something that's near to it. The
plots goat plenty packed into it. Revelations and action as well as
some much needed cyborg banter. Really cyborg needs to get a whole
lot more fun. Yeah it probably sucks that your a cyborg. Cant say
what id do in that circumstance. Id most likely build a mech to
combine with. I think we all know that actually.
BATMAN INC VOL 2 # 7

oh Morrison. You
beautiful bastard.
SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #2
written by dan
slott art by ryan stegman
Superior is
totally fine likes. Absolutely nothing rang with it. Now yes ill
grant you it dose sound
horrible. Doc ock taking over spider-man's body and pete being dead.
Yes spoiler. Spoilers for like a month or so people. Who actually
dosny know this all ready that all ready reads amazing spider-man ?
So yes it may appear horrible on first or even second glance. But and
this is a big but. Its totally fine. Its just exactly as well written
as the rest of dan slotts run on amazing. It has the same super fun
action banter with slotts trademark denseness of stuff happening. Yes
ock is a bastard. But he's a fun bastard. I can see not everyone
excepting that. Fine. Fair play likes. Again here's the thing. Peter
parker is still kicking about as mind ghost. There SHEER utter
LADNESS of yami pete. Its very difficult to put into words. There's
an actual fuck ton of banter that comes from this issue and yami pete
provides about 90% of it. Going out on a limb here but I'm sure I
could take a year of superior. Its really no all that bad. Don't let
its overtly hateful premise and adjective. scare you away
