Original sin #05
5/5
Nick Fury’s long kept secrets are finally revealed. This is
great, nothing like having everything you thought you knew just turned
sideways. I appreciated that they didn’t
just erase years of comic canon by saying something stupid like “there’s never
been a Nick Fury; he’s always been an LMD”.
The whole issue is just back-story, but what a back-story! Original sin
has certainly learned how to make exposition interesting again.
Guardians Of The Galaxy: Most Wanted #01
2/4
Rocket and Groot try and collect a bounty only to find they have one on
their own heads. I read this thinking it would be another GOG spin off
comic only to find that it’s all movie stuff. The weird part is that it doesn’t
say it’s a movie tie in which just confuses me.
The story is pretty straight forward and bland and while rocket does do
some funny things I would still say that it’s a very easy skip.
Rocket Raccoon #01
4/5
Rocket Raccoon receives a bounty on his head and finds out that there
may be another of his kind wandering around. This was a lot better than I was expecting,
rocket was on fire and matches closer to the personality I’ve come to know and
love. I was a little frustrated by the fact that a lot of important stuff
happened off panel yet I feel like I should have seen all that unfolding in a
pervious issue.
Punisher #08
4/5
Punisher and some Marines
team up to escape Crossbones. A
fine issue, but mostly comprised of a lot of military jargon and tactics. The ending was a nice touch showing the
loyalty of men in arms.
Thor God of Thunder #24
5/5
Asgardian’s say goodbye to bronxton and Thor decides to stay on earth.
Very nice wrap up to Asgard’s time on earth and there are some excellent
moments of heroism from Thor that don’t involve him hitting anything. One question I have to ask though is when the
heck did Jane Foster get cancer? And what stupidly implausible reason could she
possibly have for not wanting Thor to try and help her with Asgaridian magic.
Miles Morals Ultimate: Spider-Man #03
5/5
The Green Goblin is still alive and has some unfinished business. Fantastic issue really captures the dread of
GG back from the dead and poor miles who’s barely faced anything so horrifying
on his own. I still am a little upset that Goblin is back in the first place
but whatever I’ll roll with it .
Captain America #22
4/5
Arnim Zola returns as Rogers deals with the fact that he no longer
posses the super soldier serum.
Fun, interesting, exciting but still just the opening of the play it
hasten gotten into the meat of the new story yet.
Figment #02
2/5
Figment and our hero journey into a strange new world. This continues to be weird. I don’t know if
this is good or bad or something in between mainly because I’m still trying to
figure out who the audience for the comic is, I want to assume children but the
art style and the way it writes sometimes makes me second guess that
hypothesis.
Action comics #33
1/5
Steel searches for the Were Doomsday-Superman
while superman trys to save a planet from destruction while trying to control
his inner demons. Wow, D.C sure
does like it’s exposition, Pages and
pages of text boxes telling us every little unimportant detail about these
characters who were supposed to understand already. The art is awful and very
unimaginative in design it’s really a shame since D.C used to be such a pioneer
in imagination. Ultimately the issue is dull and leaves much to be desired.
Green Lantern #33
3/5
Hal Jordan launches his final assault
on the Durlans to prevent them from becoming gods. Was a lot of fun and enjoyed seeing the
tables turn on the Durlans and the Corps come out on top. Unfortunately the writing and art are still
only just ok and the final tease at the end of the issue about the fight not
being over, when they clearly won, just made me roll my eyes.
Green Arrow #33
2/4
Green Arrow rushes to save diggle
from the clutches of a madman.
…I have no idea what’s even going on in here, and I read the last issue.
So much continuity and side stories that I’m rather confused by what the actual
plot is.
Swamp thing #33
5/5
Swamp thing is taxed by multiple
threats to the green as the Wolf’s plan unfolds. Great issue loved seeing swamp thing
completely crush a bunch of demons and upset the Wolf’s plan. Crazy stuff in
this issue, kind of feel bad for swamp thing, the guy just can’t seem to get a
breather.
