comic book quickies 9/2/12

Only three comics this week . A sad heft indeed.

 

GREEN LANTERN #6

written by Geoff Johns art by Mike Choi

Sinestro go's all lone wolf cop as Hal adjusts to normal life again in an interlude issue. Ohhh the art change. Its fair to say that its more than a wee bit jarring. Now it is a in-between issue so no big deal in the long run but it did take me out of the story just a wee bit too much. Not that the story is all that mind blowing on its own. Yeah Hal shows that he's still bad ass without the ring but by the end of the issue he's a lantern again. So yeah. Sinestro is off in space doing spacey things with space people. In space. The issue sets up that sinestro is now aware of the plan guardians of the universe to destroy the green lanterns. I imagine in his head he's all like naw little blue dudes that's MA job! One really cool point that came up was some buddy cop character development for sinestro in that he has a begrudging moment of respect for Hal. See at this point they should just make Sinestro like Dr doom currently is over in the fantastic books. You know basically a good guy. See he is the strict no nonsense half of the buddy cop duo but he's still bloody space Hitler and why he's still a green lantern makes no real sense. See doom gets away with being on the FF for two reasons. One he's Dr doom and two its been like over a year and he hasn't done anything that even looks like betraying the team. Sinestro though just hasn't got to that place yet.

SUPERBOY #6

written by Scott Lobdell art R.B Silva

Superboy fights supergirl. Aww yeah. Yup that's all I need to enjoy a comic. None of this emo-shan pish. Just fighty fighting. Is there anybody out there that dosny like this kind of thing ? Well yeah of course there is. Damn cool kids and there trendy no fighting talky comics. Makes me sick really. I do like this current superboy run but I am getting a wee bit sick of the n.o.w.h.e.r.e plot. You could say its going nowhere. Ohohohohohoho. Well played me. But yeah not digging the hole secrets and lies feel its got going on. Superboy just keeps doing what he's told by the the obviously evil organisation then starts questioning what he's doing then go's back to the evil organisation. PICK A GOD DAMN SIDE. I guess he is like two weeks old so for now I'm letting it slide. So what did destroy krypton ? Its not something iv ever thought to look up I just kinda assumed it was a natural disaster type thing but when superboy reads super girls memory's there's a text box that says the planet was ravaged by war. Weird right ? Also there was a clone uprising that's used as a plot point as superboy is a half human clone thingy or as a super girl puts it an abomination. Yeah so that krypton not as paradise like as I thought. To be fair though I'm not too up to date with superman continuity but its still a bit odd to me.

FRANKENSTEIN AGENT OF S.H.A.D.E #6

written by Jeff Lemire art by Alberto Ponticelli

Frankenstein fought in the Vietnam war. You win DC. You win the decade. There's nothing marvel can come up with that's more awesome than Frankenstein serving in nam. The issue is about franky and the creature commandos being sent to nam to assassinate col. Quantum, a very powerful Dr Manhattan like super hero that franky fought alongside during the war. He's basically red Dr Manhattan but with a lot more humanity as he eventually leaves the army as he cant take all the killing. So that's cool but in the present days he's mutated and has killed thousands after going a tad mad. It really pretty tragic as franky has to mercy kill him. Now that was only the B plot as back at base the synthetic workforce starts an uprising that's vaguely smiler to that flesh two parter story in the last season of Dr who. A DAMN fine comic that still continues to be one of the surprise hits of the new 52 for me.

comic book quickies 3/2/12

So red lanterns got dropped. Its last issue was just too much for me. It wasn't easy for me to let go of but I gave it five issues and then issue five happened in all its horribleness. So its dropped.

ACTION COMICS #6

written by Grant Morrison art Andy Kubert

Superman fights a tentacle monster, a dinosaur and a GOD DAMN BULL ! First things first this Is a damn hefty comic like yeah it has a back up story that certainly adds to the heft but the first story is just so damn packed its unbelievable. Now I was a wee bit sleepy when I was reading comics this so that may be part of why it felt like it just wouldn't end but reading through it again it still seems jam packed with just plenty going on. I barely got the gist of it the first time through but it made more sense to me than last issue maybe because superman punches dudes. I like that. Now this two month interlude seemed pretty mad when I first herd about it seeing as stuff had just gotten real back in issue four what with that hole brainiac thing going on but after this issue id say it was still mad but at least it was fun and justified in a timey wimey way. I'm likening the back up story's as well so far thieve acted as the books hart when compared to the main story's action silliness and this book really needed that, well it still would be awesome without the backups but its much more awesome with them if you get what I mean. This time the back up was about Clark leavening smallville for college and putting his affairs in order. It was incredibly nostalgic. I can totally get behind that.

DETECTIVE COMICS #6

written and art by Tony S. Daniel

Batman shoots a guys toes off. Yeah. Because he's the god damn batman. Right so there's two books going on in this issue. Two books with two very different feels. First we've got the grim dark brownness of batman fighting small time crooks like he's been doing from the start of this new detective comics run which was fine back in the day ( back in the day being six months ago) but now its really starting to drag. The second part of the issue is EVERYTHING to do with the penguin who is written like he's straight out of the Adam west show. NOW THATS AWESOME. Its mainly the wahs he puts into his speech but that's enough for me to love it. It also looks like penguins putting a team together and that's always fun. We also get a sixties TV batman style cliffhanger ending that's even ice themed. So yeah I'm likening the fun parts and really getting board with the grim dark brown parts but like I said above I was just a wee bit tired when I was reading comics this week maybe a wee bit too tired to enjoy this yin properly it really felt like it wouldn't end but not in a good way like action comics.

 

JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL #6

written by Dan Jurgens art Aaron Lopresti

OH MY YES. What a comic. So gid. So damn gid. Like when I read this book I feel like I'm reading a comic. You get what I mean ? Like it has action and characters. So this is like your standard issue six aftermath plot that you get after most five issue arcs come to a end ware you take an issue out from the action to evaluate what just went down and to set up plot points for the next arc. Now that's what this issue is but it dosent matter in the slightest mainly because at the start we get BUUDY COP batman and booster gold. Yes shit just got real. Remember way back at the start of this book how I said that how batman always has boosters back no matter how bad it look like he's screwed up ? Yeah we get five hole pages of that here. And it is GLORIOUS !!! I really have no way to put into words how awesome batman's faith in booster is. Then rocks fall and the party dies.

comic book quickies 25/1/12

It was one hell of a hefty week so lets get started !

JUSTICE LEAGUE #5

written by Geoff Johns art by Jim Lee

The justice league get owned by darkseid and batman go's a wee bit mad. Well well what do we have here, a third week book in week four. Disgusting DC. This utter failure is beyond anything seen before. Sure there's been delayed issues before but that was before the new 52 and its sacred four week cycle and for justice league the FLAGSHIP book of the new 52 to be the first to cross the line into lateness and to be the first cut soo deep into the four week cycle so beloved by all. It hurts. It cuts me deep inside. The delay is a wound that will never heel. Every time I see justice league on the shelf ill think of this dark day this DARKEST day when it was a week late. It hurts me to even type that. The book was soo late the UK editions are only two issues behind. How mental is that ! Heh that last part was a wee bit misleading but still true. Still pretty mental. The actual issue was pretty gid. Darksied is on earth now and the recently formed league get curb stomped by him in cinematic action movie style. Superman gets gutteted by the omega beams while flash out runs them and Hal Jordan gets his arm broken. Fun times. The batman go's a wee bit mad bit comes from a scene ware Bruce unmasks to Hal. It just sort of comes out of nowhere and Hal has no idea who Bruce Wayne is. That's just weird, I know its set five years ago but he should have at least herd of Bruce Wayne by that point. The unmasking has a point though, course it dose batman all ways has a plan as it it allows him to be picked up by darkseids mooks and taken back to their base. Weird plan but that's young bats for you, if it had been the bat god that we all know and love he'd just wander up to the battle field and all the mooks would spontaneously combust. Because he's batman. Yeah so gid comic.

THE FLASH #5

Written by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato art by Francis Manapul

The flash sort of ends the current story line in a way that makes it difficult for me to summarize it in a short and funny way. Yup flash is a damn gid comic. Its getting hard to talk about now as every issue is gid. Damn gid. That's really is a win for DC as my definition in my head of the flash comes from the 2000s justice league cartoon ware the flash was wally west and the comic relief of the team. So its kind of hard for me to root for the more serious business Barry Allan and I didn't grow up with DC comics continuity so its not a big deal foe me that Barry is alive and the flash again. Its not like Barry is clowning around here though its more just its a fun story that could have took grim dark turns but so far hasn't and I like that. The next story arc looks to be that the speed force is ripping apart time and space. I'm not sure how that will go over, to me it sound like that time in star trek the next generation when they found out that warp drives were ripping apart space. Did anything ever come from that ? I'm glad the books kind of taken a step back from Barry's mental speed force powers which kind of took away the fun part of the flash in that its fun to watch him just run fast. So for the the fifth time in five months, the art is still AMAZING. Really really really gid.

AQUAMAN #5

written by Geoff Johns art by Ivan Reis

Aquaman gets lost in the desert ! And his dog survives the issue ! Now I really enjoyed this issue it was everything I want an aquaman comic to be. This was really the first time since issue one ware I think the big goff got it spot on. Don't get me wrong I did like the cthulhu putties arc but at times I felt that it was a wee bit too dark and some times it dragged just a bit. It be awesome if the book just continued with the format of this issue that being sort of stand alone water themed monster of the week plot with an on going arc in the background you know like new who. Yeah so aquaman gets lost in the desert and hallucinates about his dad making fun of him for being aquaman. Yeah its one of those plots. And it bloody well works. Please big boss goff give us more comics like this. The art really shines. Heh get it ? Cause he's in a desert ! Damn I'm good.

GREEN LANTERN NEW GUARDIANS #5

written by Brain Tony Bedard art by Tyler Kirkham

The lantern rangers split up into buddy cop teams. That's right ! Buddy cop power rangers ! Mind explodes ! So the solar system machine ship thingy from last issue has actual planets in its metal orbs. Sadly there is no juice bar planet for the lantern rangers to visit. This issue reminds me of issue two or three of justice league international which ever one it was ware the league split up into pairs for some buddy cop odd couple action mainly because that's what exactly happens here. Maybe that's just the go to narrative device for writers that want to develop relationships in a team faster. That's what's happening here and over in the main avengers book as well but over there its more to make it easy for the avengers to get a whooping from hammer mooks. Here it kinda works , giving us back story for the lantern rangers like who they were before they joined there respective corps and why they do what they do. So that's pretty fun. The best banter is between green lantern kyle and orange lantern construct glomulus which is awesome and it kinda makes up for larfleeze not being on the team. Not an amazing comic but worth a read.

TEEN TITANS #5

written by Scott Lobdell art by Brett Booth

The titans get owned by superboy ! Yup superboy bipolar bastard that he is just willny pick a god damn side and stick to it. Its getting a bit much now. This issue is really just superboy beating down the titans. Now I like that it was all just one big fight but nothing all that awesome happens and it dosent give me all that much to talk about. So just a wee bit meh.

FANTASTIC FOUR #602

written by Jonathan Hickman art by Barry Kitson

The fantastic four wage 70s style space war above the earth ! Since issue five-ish this book has felt like 70s sci fi but I cant put my finger on a single core show that its most like. This space stuff makes it tastes like Blake 7. Now iv not seen that show in ages but that's the feeling I get from this books brow-ish colouring and I'm guessing deliberately cheesy at times character designs. This space war was in danger of getting stale but them BOOOOOOM!!! GALACTUS enters the battle and damn is he in full take nae shite I'm the devourer of worlds! Mode. Really all I need to enjoy a comic is for big G to turn up and actually do something. Too often galactus only gets a talkie cameo. Not here no sir. Here stuff explodes ! Lovely comic goodness !

FF #14

written by Jonathan Hickman art by Juan Bobillo

Doctor doom continues to be a total lad !I think we were all disappointed with dooms lack of appearances in the actual fantastic four book especially since that book was brought back for its 600 issue anniversary issues. Seriously how can you have an anniversary without doctor BLOODY doom ? Well fear not FF provides enough DOOM for all ! These few issues have been the best iv seen of old doom in ages, really he's not been this awesome since he fought his way out of hell. Yes that happened. This issue he stares down four mad gods. Like a pimp.

Doom. Do your worst....IT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH.

Now I like the team the books got going its what I thought the FF would be like from the start focusing more on the actual foundation doing things with SCIENCE rather than the fantastic four and what ever there plot was but at this point I could really do with this being dooms solo book. Its just mad enough to work !

Gears of war 3 Marcus Fenix action figure review

Well iv been writing mostly comic book quickies for what seems like ages now so lets try some thing a bit different.

I quite like gears of war. Its gid. Brown shooter extraordinaire that it is. I like it. The first yins probably why I bought my 360. If gears didn't exist I would have still got a 360 its just that gears one was the first next gen game that I saw that I just had to play. I'm pretty sure that's true. It dosent sound like lies at any rate. Anyway back in the day gears of war was the bomb. SIX YEARS AGO!!! how the funk did that happen ? That was a different age now long since past into myth and legend. It was a very yellow year wasn't it ? We can agree on that ?

Gears of war though. Its gid. Its your go to guy for chest high walls and brown-ness. Nothing wrong with that. That dosent have to be the formula for every game but its nice to have a dedicated guy for it kicking aboot. Now that's ware this chunky fridge man comes from, gears 3 to be specific. Yup its a toy of main character Marcus Fenix the shouty red ranger that he is.

I mainly got this handsome fellow because gears 3 was gid. Damn gid. Like surprisingly gid. It was mainly the less Nazi-ish world that drew me in and if I'm honest the game also lets you pilot mini mecha. You may not have picked up on this in the past but I am slightly partial to a wee bit of mecha.

Dude looks pretty funky in my option totally rocking the sleeveless summer gears outfit. Its summer time in gears 3. I like that. You could say that he has an awfully dull finish to him almost like he's had a dip in games workshops magic mud but that's totally in line with the feel and tone of the games. I feel I should also mention his trousers. MAN there awesome, just so detailed and they feel just so dame fine .... I may have said too much.

Articulation

Well this lad can move. A lot. Sort of. He's got a lot of joints and all that and its not like he's all that restricted its just that he's not very dynamic. Now that's not a bad thing its just that he's INCREDIBLY neutral. He just stands there. With his arms. And his legs. And his FACE. His not giving a crap face . I quite like this. See some times you get toys that are too committed to one pose. Not this guy though. No sir. Now the face on the other hand I don't quite dig, I would have liked it to have more grrrrrr to it. A More of a angry I'm going to kill you type of face would have off set the neutral body quite well. The joints in his legs allow him to fully sit down. THIS BLEW ME AWAY WHEN I FIRST SAW IT. Now he can be posed so that he's daintily dipping his toes in the pool !!!

Accessory's

He has a gun ! A retro lancer. Which to me is just sort of bllleehhhhh. I kinda thought he'd come with the proper lancer what with him being the main character and all. Nothing against the retro lancer but the proper chainsaw one is the thing most people remember most about these games. It kinda makes a gear a gear. Now he cant hold it all that well. Well he can hold it in BOTH hands but its kind of a stretch and when combined with his neutral-ness it dosent look all that fabulous. He can wield It one handed but its a bit wobbly. And that's just silly. But no worrys ! He can store it on his back and that looks GLORIOUS !!!

So a pretty solid toy likes.

The not yet cancelled comic book quickies 19/1/12

Well hawk and dove is being cancelled and despite never reading an issue it carry's on in our harts!!!

AVENGERS #21

written by Brain Michael Bendis art by Renato Guedes

The avengers get curb stomped by Norman Osborne's team of mook psycho rangers. This issue opens with bendis continuing to shill spider woman as she try to talk her way out of fighting three hulk mooks. We get it bendis she's your favourite. We get it. We got it back in 2004. please stop. Now I do like this psycho ranger mook plot something about it seems enjoyably toy toyetic to me. There isn't really much that happens here other than the avengers getting curb stomped but its done in a nice way what with the team having split up into two man buddy cop teams and there is some funny banter to be had with that. This issue I finally got that mar vel boy is spock. I like that. The issue ends with three giant man mooks attacking and beating captain America. Which is fine. But it ends with cap knocked out and the mooks being all “ captain America is down” naw pal just naw. That's just not how cap rolls. Like last time the art continues to be gid, its a different artist but they match the tone and feel of the last few issues damn well.

BLUE BEETLE #5

written by Tony Bedard art by IG Guara

Blue beetle accidentally brutally stabs his best friend through the hart. Well Blue beetle continues to be star kid. I like that and it is totally the way to go with this run but I kinda wish it could move beyond the origin stuff at this point. See this book is sorta just good, not sucky but not anything to shout about either and I feel its the origin stuff that's holding it back. That's what I here from long term fans of the character anyway though I do get why the origins being retold as blue beetle isn't the best know character and the hole point of the new 52 is to get new readers on board. The beetles buddy is fine by the way as the beetle suit suit fixes him up with a healing bug so he's fine. Well it looks like he may be a villain for a bit as the healing bug gave him a suit of power armour of his own but he's fine considering that hole stabbed though that hart thing. And remember its not like he was stabbed IN the hart no he was stabbed THOUGH the hart and right out his back so that's like his spine gone too. But no worry's he's fine

 

BATMAN #5

written by Scott Snyder art by Greg Capullo

Batman is trapped in the court of owls maze. Shit gets real. Then weird. Then real again. Well its issue 5 so its about time they broke out the old mind fuck. Rights so bats is trapped in this maze for like a week and daaammm he's looking ruff. The maze is trying to mentally brake him and it looks like its sorta working. That's really shocking, batman is WILLPOWER it shouldn't be this easy to crack him even just a little. It makes me question how this batman connects to grant Morrison's canon bat god batman. See I'm pretty sure this book is set in the present but its weird that batman is this weak. See if this was a young batman I could totally understand it but if this is proper present day bats then he's sickeningly out of character and totally written as a human. Which is just wrong. Batman is not a human. He is the BAT GOD the AVATAR of WILLPOWER !!! a death trap like this should be child's play to him but maybe he's just playing the court's game and maybe this is all just an act which I'm hopeing is what's going on. Still a gid comic its just a little jarring to see batman this weak.

SUPER GIRL #5

written by Michael Green art by Mike Johnson

Supergirl travels in space trying to find krypton only to find a dark elder planet killer to fight. Yeah so as you can see from the cover supergirl fights this dark eldar looking woman. Sweet. Its not a particularly awesome or long fight but its was fun considering how dark things got last issue. We also get some plot developments as supergirl learns for sure that krypton is gone and that her dad was murdered before the planet blew. So big stuff there. So we're five issues in now I feel I should congratulate supergirl on being one of the surprise pick up's of the new 52. Seriously I'm reading a supergirl comic how did that happen ? Well the first issue was one long mech fight. Yup that's pretty much why. The awesome art probably helped too.

 

ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDERMAN #6

written by Brian Michael Bendis art by Chris Samnee

 

Miles morales continues to be spider man and this issue fights some muggers. Like a pimp. Well get a load of this, issue six out in shops IN OUR LIFETIMES. I'm speechless. Back when ultimate spiderman started waaaay back in the mists of time my ancestor reviewers could only dream of a schedule like this. MONTHLY. This issue was pretty gid too with miles stopping a mugging which is a nice spidermany thing to do and further cements him as the current real spiderman. For me what made the issue though was the art GOOD GOD the art yes. Cartoony and just plain awesome it just hit me as soon as I opened the issue. I just wasn't expecting it at all even though I herd it was going to be a B artist issue. But yeah AWESOME ART. It was also had sub plot with miles uncle who in this universe is the prowler. When I first saw the ultimate powler I mistook him for stealth deadpool. Stealth deadpool should be a thing.

The NU look comic book quickies 12/1/12

Week two week two its week two ! Have I explained the week system ? I feel like I have, I spose I could go back and check but that would take effort so here's a quick recap for you. Since DC launched the new 52 the weeks have been clearly defined as a four week cycle, last week was week one now that's a hell of a week with both action and detective comics oot. This weeks sort of a breather week as there's not too much oot to wreck the wallet with. Well now you know and knowing IS half the battle! Though you all probably know this already sorry to talk down to you my internet comic masters.

 

GREEN LANTERN #5

written by Geoff Johns art by Doug Mahnke

Sinestro leads his former people against his own yellow lanterns. Then his former people tell space Hitler to get the funk off world. So well played general public of korugar you've proved your already miles ahead of the marvel universes mental health. Pretty gid issue though I'm starting to wonder what sinestros long term plan is because the feeling I get from the events of this book are that its entirely possible that sinestro wants to be a proper green lantern again, there's really no reason for him to keep the ring on and he could have gone back to being his old self all ready. Maybe the grate space dictator just understands that he's part of a BUDDY COP TEAM and just gets at a very deep and primal level that to be a buddy cop is to be the most AMAZING thing in all creation, the very peak of all galactic EVOLUTION ! The guardians as of the last page of this issue are the big bads of the current ongoing arc. They actually say NOTHING CAN STOP US NOW !!! MAHAHAHHAHAAAHA ! Well they might not have laughed. There's a small chance I made that part up.

SUPERBOY #5

written by Scott Lobdell art R.B Silva

Super boy wares a bad ass hood and cape and turns his tron lights off to go rescue an old friend. He is only like three weeks old but he still gets to have old friends. So I'm sure last time I talked about how bi poler superboy is, like one issue he's all emo and thinks he's just a weapon but the next he's all its my life I'll live it the best I can. Well now I'm thinking its not the character that's bi poler its the entire book that's like that. So superboys back working for n.o.w.h.e.r.e which is like a less subtle nerve from neon genesis evangelion that's after “dangerous” teen meta humans. There gendo kills a bunch of his own mooks. I guess that all just fine and dandy. Not a bad issue by any means id just like it to be a little more consistent in favour of the those awesome I'm NOT a weapon issues.

 

FRANKENSTEIN AGENT OF S.H.A.D.E #5

written by Jeff Lemire art by Alberto Ponticelli

AWWWWWWWW HELLLS YES ! Frankenstein fights omac. AND IT WAS AMAZING. That's it really. This issue was part of a cross over with omac #5 but I never knew that till I read the first page of this book. WELL PLAYED DC. Wait not well played not well played at all, I might have got omac if I had known before hand. Happily you didn't have to buy omac to understand what was going on so points to franky for that. It was a nice all fight issue that starts with franky sort of on holiday in Tibet bringing the beat down to some man eating dwarfs. awesome. He gets called in by s.h.a.d.e and checkmate to bring in a run away omac. This leads to a fight and like I said earlier It was AWESOME. I went into this with some doubt think that it was a cheap cross over trying to drum up some new readers for omac but dammmm this is just what I needed after that last issue that left me depressed what with it reminding me of that god damn dark age comic that you can see still haunts me. It just left me with a warm fuzzy feeling inside my manly guts. Gotta say though the arts not for everyone with its sketchy jumbled look and even I found some of the panel layouts had to follow on first glance but give it a go its well worth a look.

Also what do you think of or new look ? Leave a comment and tell us what you think !
