Back up banter


Time just keeps on slipping. INTO THE FUTURE. Ayes. Ayes. Mistakes were made. Again. And id like to apologise. Again.

 
Its been like a month. Long time to you young uns. I'm sure. To us auld folk its hardly been a single blink of an aye. Time gets weird.

 
Wells a fair few things have happened in the comic world since we last had a wee chat. I'm going to try and go threw them from memory. So If I make a few things up you have been warned.

 
Green lantern ended ! Wells not really. Its still ongoing and so are the other lantern books. Big goff has stepped down from writing duties. And well. Its over. He packed his bags and took the zeitgeist with him. That and it really did feel like the last ever issue. There was hella universe shite that happed. The guardians are dead. Well mostly. And big sinestros away for a universally road trip. As well as that there was epilogues for all the main lanterns. We've now seen hal grow auld and have a happy ending. It was hella final. But that's fine. Big goff earned the right to do what ever the fuck he wanted to do with the book.

 
Also. Did I mention that it was FUCKING AMAZING. It MAY be the single best issue of GL I have ever read. Now that's probs the excitement talking. But damn son. It was wall to wall CRAZY AMAZING. Basically everybody rocked up to the first lantern. Called him on his pish. And wreaked his shite. Amazingly. Hals plan to commit suicide to say the day actually worked. Becoming a black lantern. And summoning NECKRON. Ayes. Fan bloody tastic.


Just a week after the “last” green lantern we got the first issue from the new creative team. And I quite liked it. It had a fairly nice vibe. AYES. There was a fair bit NOT to like. Carl ferris was quite the mental. Basically breaking up with hal so she can still be in love with him. Ayes. Quite the mental. Hal is the head of the green lanterns now. I like that. Like. If he grows a bad ass musstahe and gets a desk I think you can agree it be the best thing ever.

 
Age of ulton ended. Yeah. It was pish. Not even entertaining pish. Confusing hateful pish. That said. There were a few bits of it that were ok. Bizarrely fun even. Like this issue thanks to the resolution we get a shot bit with big miles morales vs GALACTUS. Ayes. Needlessly awesome. Overall though. And I cant believe I'm being this guy. Its worth a miss if you ask me. Its not really needed. I'm sure a few things have been changed around an few new books have been launched. But over all. Fuck ultron.

 
Superman unchained and batman year zero trotted out the gether like amazing buddy cops. Both were quite gid. I mean unsurprisingly. Both all star teams and both being syders. They were always going to be crowd pleaser's. Year zero was going to be rock solid anyway with it being the on going. It was unchained that needed to prove itself. And it did. For the most part. Supes was being quite the lad saving folk and that. And he dose some investigating. Snyders got all the bases covered it seems. There was this splash page that is a fold out poster. It be fine if it were all lousey gosey but naw. Its aww stuck down. So I didn't unfold it. $5 comic in aww that.

 
In further synder news. The wake was out. And I also liked it. Yup. Iv gone quite mad ted. It was like aquaman vs third impact. Or john carpenter's the thing vs third impact. Its amazingly evanglion. So far that is. We'll see how the other issues go. Worth a read if you ask me. You already kent that though.

 
I also got some 90s question comics. Not news I know. But the question had a mullet in the 90s. I wasn't ready at all for that likes. Not at all. Like I know it was a thing for heros in the 80s and 90s to have mullets. But the question likes. I wasn't ready.

comic book quickies 2/3/12

Its week five. WHAT ? How dose that work ? MIND BLOWN!!!


AVENGERS #23

written by Brain Michael Bendis art by Daniel Acuna


AGHGHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGHGHHHHHHHHGGHHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHHGHGGHGGHGHGHGHGGGGGGGGGGHHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHHGHHGGHHGGHGHGGHHGGGHGHHHHGGHGHGHGHGHGHHHHGHGHGHGHGGHGHGHHGHGHGHHHHHGHGHGGHHHGHGHGHGHGHHHGHGHGHHGHGGHGHGHGHGHGHGGHGHGHGHGHHHHHHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGGHHGGGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGHGHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGHHGHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGHGHGHGHGGHHHGHGGHGHHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG !!!! wait didn't we do this not too long ago ? like only two weeks ago ? That's really weird. Maybe marvel just hates humanity. Yeah its still really bad. Like really painful. Which is a huge shame as there are parts of this run that are bloody amazing. The G.I joe- ness of it is something I really love. By that I mean there are a lot of amazing mooks. Like plenty of foot solders standing about waiting around for a beating. There's plenty of gid banter here and there and I was pleasantly surprised with how much of a pimp the vision is. And the art. Its so very pretty. Its just EVERYTHING to do with Norman Osborne. EVERYTHING. He may be head of world security again by the end of this issue. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. We get it bendis Americas mental. We got that years ago. STOP GOING ON ABOUT IT.


JUSTICE LEAGUE #6

written by Geoff Johns art by Jim Lee


The justice league fights the final battle against darksied. Surprisingly this was really pish. Like it was really gid and really pish. As a stand alone issue it was amazing, full of over the top action and grate art with awesome splash pages. But as the ending to the first arc of this new era and the starting point for the age of heroes it just dosent live up to the hype. I don't want to say hype because I really wasn't hyped for this issue. I was angry really for how late it was and I was all ready cynical at the book in general for how poor the first issue was. Yeah that issue had buddy cop batman and green lantern but that's ALL it had. My dislike of it comes down to how they beat darkseid. Buy reset button. Well not really but it felt like a reset button ending. Cyborg boom tubes him home. That's it really. meh. Why is cyborg on the team anyway, I mean I do like him, he is pretty cool guy after all and I do get that you have to have a wild card on every super team these days its just he kind of ruins the all star vibe there going for on the book. It just felt very rushed like they were board of it and just wanted it over and done with already. We do get a back up story about the hooded woman Pandora. It's OK. Nothing amazing and I feel it spoils her just a wee bit like it was better when we knew less about her but because of the back up it dose mean we don't get any of that making of gumff at the back, none of that first appearance batman 2011 pish. So yeah that's a wee win for humanity there.


BATMAN BEYOND UNLIMITED #1

written by Nguyen Fridolfs art by Beechen Bretfogle. Yeah.


In a bumper double issue type thing the tomorrow night returns ! First the batman of the future fights against out of town jokers then with the help of the justice league bats fights even more jokers and human animal mash ups. Aye it was all right. Nothing too amazing happens. It was two comics in one so it was damn gid value. That's a plus. It seems to be going for an all star villain cast type of thing with big name villains from the tv show being set up for future appearances and that's cool. A little desperate but still cool. It dose feature the future justice league and maybe that's a big deal for some people , well DC seems to think so anyway but they just don't do it for me, ah duno there just nothing all that stand out about them. To me they kind of dragged the last few issues of the last batman beyond series down. Aww wells it is nice to have batman beyond back !



FF #15

written by Jonathan Hickman art by Nick Dragotta

Well the kids of the FF return to earth to help activate sol's anvil the super weapon from the last issue of fantastic four and are joined by the super team power pack. Gotta say I'm still loving FF. Now I had my doubts about it when they announced that the main fantastic four book was being brought back and that FF was still carrying on as well. You know auld marvel always out for your money. But dammn has it been awesome. Yes mainly because for Dr Doom and everything he says or dose's. Sadly Dooms not in this issue and the book suffers quite badly for it. They even try to make out the Dooms dead. Aye naw pal. Still pretty fun though and hopefully not all of you dropped it as soon as fantastic four came back.
