Comic Reviews for March 7, 2012






DC COMICS


RED LANTERNS #7
Team
Writer - Peter Milligan
Artist - Ed Benes/Diego Bernard
Colorist - Nathan Eyring

"REBEL YELL"

I know, I know, everyone hates this book. It is growing on me.

We are seeing a lot of the new earth Red Lantern and getting to see what is going on in his head. This honestly should have been issue #2 or maybe #3.

The Biggest problem in this book is probably the snails pace that it has been moving.

I am actually starting to really like the characters. When Bleez is torturing on of the former yellow lanterns by ripping his skin off, it made me really dig her even more.

I really enjoyed John Moore and Guy Gardners interaction and it showed that there is still a bit of humanity in the Red Lantern still.

I am also digging where they are taking Atrocious. I like him more alone than having to deal with being the leader of the Red Lantern Corps.

HUNTRESS #6 (of 6)
Team
Writer - Paul Levitz
Artist - Marcus To
Colorist - Andrew Dalhouse

"CROSSBOW AT THE CROSSROADS Part 6"

********************
**SPOILER ALERT**
********************

So what we have been looking at this whole time is actually the Earth 2 Huntress we are supposed to be getting in the World's Finest that will be starting in May.

I actually will be going back and reading the whole series with the knowledge that I now have. Suddenly I think I will be ending up getting up adding World's Finest. I will give it a 3 issue trial anyways.

The ending pulled this whole series from just a little bit above average to a very good, re-readable book. It would be worth your time actually buy the Trade Paperback when it comes out, if you have not been buying the single issues as they came out

FERALS #3
Team
Writer - David Lapham
Artist - Gabriel Andrade
Colorist - Digikore Studios


And the award for the most gory and blood-drenched comic of month goes to..........Once again, Ferals. Seriously, this book is porn for a serial killer.

Its is twisted, but just in the right way.

There is a lot unraveling here and I am really looking forward to next issue for some big reveals. There is a lot going on in this book right under the surface.

I doubt you will be able to just jump on to this book at a random place. I think every issue will take you deeper down the well. Get this book before it is too late

WINTER SOLDIER #3
Team
Writer - Ed Brubaker
Artist - Butch Guice
Colorist - Bettie Breitweiser

"THE LONGEST WINTER Part 3"


There is no such thing as better art than this book.

Robot Dr. Doom? I am in.

I like this book, but I really don't care about the characters yet. I hope that changes soon or I can't justify keeping it.

It is stunning to look at. This is another one being moved to the DCBService pile

WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN
ALPHA AND OMEGA #3 (of 5)
Team
Writer - Brian Wood
Artist - Roland Boschi
Colorist - Dan Brown

My guess is that this book is a mini-series to turn Quinten Quire from a Weaselly, Arrogant, Self-Absorbed, Misunderstood bad guy, into a Weaselly, Arrogant, Self-Absorbed, Misunderstood good guy.

I did enjoy this issue more than the last, but I still am not sold on reading and X-Men team books after this series ends in two months.

HELL YEAH #1
Team
Writer - Joe Keatinge
Artist - Andre Szmanowicz
Colorist - Jason Lewis

"THE WORLD THEY MADE"

Wow. I am recommending this book to everyone. No really, I am, all over twitter and my friends I know that read comics have gotten texts to go get it.

I just got this feeling that this will end up as my favorite book in a very short time.

It's a superhero book that is based in a closer reality than your average "cape and cowl".

I don't want to spoil anything so please, based purely on my enthusiasm, buy this book!

VAMPIRELLA VS DRACULA #2
Team
Writer - Joe Harris
Artist - Ivan Rodriguez
Colorist - Adriano Lucas

This is the last Vampirella issue I will end up buying from my LCS. I will continue to get them from www.DCBService.com. The $3.99 price tag is just too high of a price tag for me to buy on the release day. $2.39 and waiting a week will be just fine.

This particular Vampirella title is a bit hard to follow. It seems a bit all over the place.

The art feels a bit weak.

I am keeping with it, but barely at this point.
