THE SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #6

written by dan slott art by humberto ramos

So doc ock loses his shite this ish. Like really loses his shite. Live on the internet. Its not a pretty sight to see. Brutalises these two goof ball villains. Aye they werny funny and deserved a bit of a kicking new generation scumm that they are. But damn son. Ock takes it too far. Apart from that though. Really fun issue ! Yup. SS continues to be a hell of a vibey read. I mean its soo good I just assume all the hate for it has died down. I mean come on people. Big ocks quite the lad when hes not being a dick. That's gotta count for something. The science chef is still being a science chef. Fuck yas likes. Fuck yass. Part from that there's not much to say this week sadly. Things continued the way thieve being going. Ock STILL dosent gee a fuck. He's not even trying to stealth his way threw being peter parker. Its really quite endearing actually.

ALL NEW XMEN #9

written by brian michael bendis art by stuart immonen

It just keeps being amazing people ! The quality is off the FUCKING charts. This is big bendis at the top of his game ! Its a sight ! To see ! I have to shout this review at you ! Yes ! Its one of those comics ! We're at issue nine ! And it hasn't dipped in quality ! Like not at all ! Can you believe that ! Because I cant ! Maybe its some drug thieve concealed in the pages of the actual comic ! Yeah that has to be it ! Its the only explanation ! Ill calm doon now. I'm very sorry. Aye so. Every one who was being a lad is STILL a lad. And Cyclops is still the most loveable horrible bastard to ever live. Basically everything is right with the world. Even kid jean grey gets called out or her evil shite from the last issue. I'm blaming the 60s hair for it basically. And as the cover promises, mystic and sabre-tooth are cutting aboot toon. So really. You canny complain there. Special mention has to go to the art. Immonen is REALLY knocking it out of the park. Has to be said. The art is perfect to the tone. Its fast and floowy cartoony stuff perfect for banter but also action. Also I'm HIGHLY exited for the next issue which I hope is just cover to cover dick moves from auld Cyclops the ultimate bastard. So ayes. READ ALL NEW X MEN !

ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDER-MAN #21

written by brian michael bendis art by sara pichelli

I still quite like milles folks. It was a hard sell if you remember. I was fairly upset they killed off big ultimate pete. Guy died like a punk. A controversial statement I knows. But that's how I feel about the whole thing. And then we get miles. And you know me. I fear and despise any and all change. To be fair though. Big milies is an actual lad. The kid really won me over. Pretty much instantly. Him and big gahnk. Utter lads . I waffle on like this because I noticed were at issue 21 . has it really been that many issues ? Wowzers likes. I didny think it was anything like that. They just really wizzed by didn't they ? Not all were park knocker outers to be fair. Always readable Is the thing. Miles dad right. He's made of plasticine. Gets a wee bumped on the head then decides to die. Its like worse than the instant cancer. Now ayes. That could be realistic and aww that. But come on, mileses dad just likes to find new ways to be a cunt. He's down on super heroes for some reason. Probably because he's auld. He thinks killing hydra goons is a BAD thing. And now his just gona up and die at the drop of a hat. Fella needs to man up if you ask me.

 

SUPERGIRL #18

written by frank hannah art by robson rocha

Don't be fooled by that cover comic fans ! The writers have changed ! Apparently ! Now the change over dose seem quite promising. They seem to be adding power girl to the mix. Something I'm sure very few people will complain about. Big lex luther too. He seems to have a ranger team on the go as well. Is that a thing from the superman book ? Even if its just new its fairly nifty. Apparently supergirl got krytionite poisoning at the end of he'll on earth. Just another thing I missed. Don't fear though. Supergirl dose indeed fight a fool. So basically. Its still got the whole supergirl fighting vibe. Small victory right there. Arts quite funktastic too.

 

AMETHYST #6

written by christy marx art by marc anderyko

This is tough likes. I bring sad news. You may want to sit down. It may come as a bit of a shock. Ok ? Are you ready ? Right so. Amethyst. Its lost a wee bit of its swagger. Hhhhhm. God. It even hurts to type that. Now I'm not saying its suddenly goat shite. No. not at all. Its just lost a bit of its swagger. Back in the day. Like six issues ago it had such fantastic swagger. It brought us hope likes. It made our lives better. It was this incredibly girly comic that was AWESOME. You expect to see that kinda thing from anime not a big comics company like DC. What's the source of this swag drain you ask ? Wells its kinda muddied its epic world waters. Folk are just crossing over willy nilliy. Which dosent necessarily have to be a bad thing. Big constatine is generally always welcome. But not every other issue like. This month fucking eclipso jumped. That just sorta really sucks and feels more than a bit corporate mandatey. Fuck off eclipso is aw I can really muster from my brain. They do a fairly aw right job to integrate him into the word but I gotta say. It just dosent sit right with me. So yeah. Nothing out right bad and its far from hateful its just had a few wee miss steps. Hopefully over the next few months it can regain its lost swagger.

 

GREEN LANTERN NEW GUARDIANS #18

written by tony bedard art by hendry prasetyo , jim calafiore, javier pulido

Now in direct contrast to the comic above here we have a book gaining more and more swagger as it go's on . Swagger ascendant if you will. It really can not be stressed enough how much new guardians has improved since its zero issue. What's more amazing is it seems to be down to a change in artist. How dose that work ? Not sure. Like at all. I'm not going to question it though. Fucking love what this book has become. What is that you ask ? Pure awesomeness. Somehow. Possibly threw dark magic this book has gone from being very average to fooking brilliant. Ayes. Be happy for humanity. This first lantern arc has really accelerated the ladness even further. Last issue we goat kyle ryner channelling simon the digger. This ish we get the rest of the team channelling simon. Its .. its beautiful. I might actually have cried. Each member of the team refuses to except ANY of the first lanterns pish. Like no amount of it at all. THIS IS EVERTHING I WANT TO SEE FROM COMICS ! LONG MAY THIS RUN CONTIUE !

 

ACTION COMICS #18

written by grant morrison art by rags morales and brad walker

Ohohohohoh ! This is it sports fans ! The big one ! Morrison's last action comics. Tearing up a bit even now. So yes. Its utterly mental. In that very special Morrison way. And its very much the end. Its very last issue. Not in a kill em all way. More in things are kinda sorta explained kind of way. I thought it was AWESOME. Plenty of superman fighting crazy folk. Iv herd complaints of clunkiness. Fair play likes. Id say it was intentionally clunkie But that just might not work for some folk. It has an OMNIMON ending thaw. That's the best kind of ending possible for any story in any universe ! I liked this run. I have to say. Way back in the beginning I think its safe to say. The whole world was hyped. BIG grant Morrison on a superman on going. I think it went well. Though it was defiantly odd. The thing is we were ready for it to be odd. It was just a different kind of odd. A kind of odd that took us off guard. Its a shame really. Morrison's sort of slipped from his red ranger pedestal during the new 52. usurped by synder and the other younglings. Morrison probs dosny gee a fuck. So its fine. But it is something to keep in mind when thinking of the sheer depths of this generations giant bastardness. I will miss you action comics. Normally id say I'm looking forward to the next teams run but I here the next guy has already quit. Soo. Yeah. Lets wait and see what happens.

JUSTICE LEAGUE #18

written by geoff johns art by jesus saiz

BIG BARRY ALLAN. The greatest hero to ever live ! The man who takes time in one hand and space in the other and SMASHIES them together ! Why ? FOR LADNESS. That's right. That's how humanity's new GOD KING rolls. This week he took it upon himself to take up the comic relief slack left by hal jordan. It was a grate burden. But barrys MANLY back could carry it. So aye. Gid issue. Really quite liked it my self. Hell of a vibe. Putting a team together. Well more like adding new members to the current roster. That's fine though. It was done in a nicely casule way. Having the new members up to the watch tower for tea was a funky way to do it. AYES to be fair shit dose get a bit pair shaped. The metal man woman platinum go's a wee bit mad ted and the others have to take her down. A damn shame if you ask me. She seemed like a lot of fun. Well I suppose you cant have everything. COUSE big element woman might be on the team ! Yay ! Goota credit the goff on a good decision there. Its nice element woman's kicking about in this universe after her grate successes flashpoint. Aye. Very nice issue of justice league. Now aye it was a breather issue and it wasn't all that epic. But like I say. It was well done ! Not at all sure what the whole add super villains to the team thing was at the end of last ish. Maybe there going somewhere with that.

SAGA #11

written by brian k. vaughan art by fiona staples

Saga there. Being the most saga ish it could be. Like you know what I mean folks. You've read it. I diiny have to talk about it. I'm a gentleman after all. Saga though. What's it like. Just cutting about with the best banter. What more really is there to say. It has the best banter. The wills still being a lad. Surprisingly. We were told early on that he's a monster. So I guess we're building to something with him. Shames really that his awesomeness is soured in that way.
