Comic Reviews for January 17, 2012

This is a huge blog. Between my issues this week from my LCS, and half of last month being shipped from DCBService, it ended up being really overwhelming. It was nice getting them though.

From my whole list, the pick is Batman and Robin #5. Just a great issue. My pick of the week goes to The Amazing Spider-Man #678. It is converting me into a huge Spidey fan

Ghostrider #8

Writer - Rob Williams

Colorist - Rob Schwager/Andres Mossa

I keep waiting for this series to end. Don't get me wrong, I like this book, like a lot. But ever since I heard that this book was about to be chopped by Marvel, it has been tainted for me.

This book keeps getting better. I am starting to like the characters more and more. Even Alejandra, the new Ghost Rider.

I am also getting very interested in Hawkeye since seeing him pop up more and more in the titles that I do read from Marvel, this one included. I also really want to know who the Seeker is, who introduced this book.

The Art is getting to be such an improvement in the last few issues, but especially this one.

I hope I get to continue to see what happens when Johnny Blaze steps into a role of a teacher, instead of just a bad ass

I KILLED TOMORROW

This book started in such a good note. Peter was happy, and I was happy for him. Everything is going great....And anyone that has read a Spiderman book knows, that means that his world is about to go completely and totally to hell.

Some slightly sketchy bending with the physics of time travel, but I suppose it could be plausible if things fell into and exact order of events.

Basically, Peter gets to see 24 hours into the future and the world is destroyed. It looks like and A-bomb went off in the center of New York. Now Spidey has 24 hours to figure out what happened and how to stop it.

I really don't get the whole new Madame Webb being a new young girl thing. Damn you Spiderman, why do you keep pulling me deeper into your universe?

This is another fun little series. I have a confession, I only buy this book because of the free download I get from Marvel, unfortunately, it didn't work this time. Let's see how much hassle that I have to go through to get it. I will keep ya all posted.

This is the end of this story arc with Red Hulk and the Morlocks and Mole Man. Not a bad finish at all. The next arc will be a Team up with Hawkeye. I think it will be lots of fun.

It is still a lot of fun, and really, its comics...What else can you ask for?

HAIL TO THE KING BABY

Good book, but it feels like such an abrupt end to the evil Deadpool arc.

It was a great set up to the next storyline that they are pimping all over the place with Deadpool finally finding a way to off himself.

Not quite as humorous as I have come to expect this title to be, but it still had more laughs than most books that I read. I really hope that this next arc is not the end for good old Wade

I still love the way this book is drawn. It is so cartoony and fun and insane and sad at the same time. It really is a glimpse into the psyche of Deadpool

BACK IN JAPAN Part 1

There is a freakish amount of artists on this issue and it shows. It can definitely be distracting. None of them are bad. In fact they are all pretty fantastic...but they are so different.

I did however really enjoy this book. I was hooked in the first 2 pages. It was like a scene out of Kill Bill. Logan goes into the bathroom on an airplane on the way to Japan. Then the flight attendant walks down the isle handing out katana swords to everyone on the plane(who just so happen to be ninjas). After a complete bloodbath, Wolverine walks off the plane when it touches down, everyone dead but him as he is wiping the blood off of his face with a towel.

In the disturbing scene of the month, we see Sabertooth betting ready to make the beast with two backs with a 90 year old hooker. Don't judge me, I didn't write it

I like where this comic is going

POWERLESS Part 2

This was an ok read, it was a set up issue. We hear a lot about Steve and his Government steroids wearing off, but we don't see it happen, and we don't get any answers.

It did just enough to keep me interested enough to keep buying this title. Again, it was not bad, just not the best of the stack, or even the top half of it.

The art was the high point of this book by far. It just looks great

THE STRING

So, I want to see the Punisher cross into the DC Universe and become a Red Lantern. I think that would be really fun. He does fit the criteria after all.

Anyways, I think this is the most dialogue that I have seen in a Punisher book in quite some time.

Why does the Punisher put his logo on everything? It makes him easier to trace

This was very much a detective comic. Lots of clues being shown and a few reveals.

I really liked this issue. It is such a different pace than the usual book. I enjoyed it a lot.

SINESTRO Part 5

First, the negative. I hate the way that Mahnke draws Hal Jordan when he is not in his Green Lantern costume. He just looks weird to me. The rest of the art is close to flawless in this title, as it always seems to be however. Why cant he get that one thing right? The look of Sinestro leading his newly deputized citizens of Kouregar is awe inspiring. He truly looks lake a superhero.

It is so weird to see Sinestro apologize and make me believe it. That is so far from any of the character that I have ever seen from Sinestro.

I also don't like that Hal seems like such a weakling in this book, especially when compared to Sinestro.

Ok now the good stuff.

The intrigue with what is going on with the Guardians is perfect storytelling. I hate those little blue bastards so much.

Seeing Hal finally get it right with Carol was great. Unfortunately, I am waiting for the other shoe to drop now. That is always how it goes in their twisted little love life

ABANDON ALL HOPE

Wow, Another 5 star performance from the Suicide Squad title.

To be honest, I kind of knew what was going to happen with Harley Quinn escaping last issue when they so conviently deactivated her nano bomb and left her unsecured.

I hope they let Vigilante live and maybe put him on the team for now. In the panels that I saw him in, I was fascinated by his character.

Because this is a Suicide Squad book, you figure that someone has got to die...Today is was

Yo-yo. If you don't remember him, he was brought in by Captain Boomerang a few issues ago. It just goes to show you, STAY THE F#$% AWAY FROM KING SHARK! He WILL eat you if given the chance

I still wonder if El Diablo is way too moral for this team. He is the only one with a real conciounce, and that includes Amanda Waller.

One more change from the old universe in Waller. She is still married in this incarnation of her. She is one of the charcters I wish was the old one again.

I'M FREE AS A BIRD --

AND THIS BIRD YOU CAN NOT KILL

This issue was 2 stories intertwined in it. The first, and most interesting, was with Arsenal and Starfire fighting the freakish mutant that was trying to kill Starfire.

The second was with Jason(Red Hood/Former Robin) dealing with the race that retrained him after he was killed by the Joker.

Oddly enough, when I first started reading this book, I had no interest in Arsenal or Starfire, no I am very interested in them but losing interest in Red Hood

I don't know where they are going to end up going next with this title. It is good. I do wonder if it will make the next round when DC wants to add more titles next time.

Finally. It seems like all of the pieces have come together. Krona is alive and while the Red Lanterns are hunting him, he is most definietly hunting them right back.

We have our first human Red Lantern in John Moore. Although it is not a suprise to anyone that has been reading the book. It was very apparent that it would happen.

I am very curious on how long they will be stretching the Atrocious and Bleez feud and how bad it will get. Considering that their very existance is based on rage, they will never be friends.

It seems that everyone is coming out of the Blood Ocean alive and actually coherent

A CANDY FULL OF SPIDERS

This story is, well, wierd. It is a really strange to see Bruce Wayne out of his mind. This does, however, make for a pretty powerful enemy that can do something like that. Ger name is Gretel and I like her.

We also get the payoff from the last issue with the Barbra's mom showing up. She seems to be a bitch. I could be wrong but that is my take on her. I am sure there is a LOT more to her story and Gail Simone is fantastic about unfolding stories like that.

Art is Phenominal as it alway is in this book

CROSSBOW AT THE CROSSROAD Part 4

With the announcement of the Earth 2 Huntress that was just announced coming out in April, we will most likely never see this incarnation of huntress again after this mini series. Although, I think that Huntress being the daughter of Bruce Wayne(Batman) and Selena Kyle(Catwoman) is too great of a character to ever pass up.

I like this issue. It is getting more exciting. I like to see Huntress just plain kicking ass. And I like that her idea of justice(which I agree with) is leaving the bad guy in the hands of those that they hurt in the first place. No more bad guy and victim has a large chunk of closure in their life.

There are 2 more issues left, but this almost feels like a wrap up. I am guessing we will se a twist in the next issue

I think that the introduction to the character known as Barrabbas was very well done and is the most interesting character that I have seen in this series. Gotta love a guy that wears human fingers as earrings.

This was actually 2 different stories, but upon readting the second one by Alan Moore actually made the first story a lot more enjoyable. I can understand why They put the reprint second, I meant they are trying to sell the Vampirella book, not The New European reprint.

Both stories are so great. I know there is so far to go in this story, and the writer is not rushing things. I really appreciate this kind of storytelling.

This is a reincarnation of Bram Stokers Dracula. By reincarnation I mean that history is retelling the story...Dracula did happen and so did this.

I know you may not be able to tell from my sarcastic tone, but I do really enjoy these books. I know I explain every time I get one of the issues so here is to tradition... The books are all one offs like Grimms Fairytales. Still Enjoyable and fun

Although this entire book was just action, it felt slower than the previous issues.

As always, I love the art on these books. It is my favorite way for a comic to look.

It is getting harder and harder to tell the good guys from the bad guys. Everyone seems to have changed sides a half dozen times.

SINESTRO PART FOUR

This run of Green Lantern is so good. I don't know how many new readers it has kept since the relaunch, but I hope they have figured out the universe enough to stick with it.

Last issue we left off with Hal Jordan "dying" which I think everyone knew wasn't going to happen.

Both Hal Jordan and Sinestro have been captured and imprisoned by the Sinestro Corps. On a quick side note, it looks like Sinestro is going to stay in the Green for the foreseeable future, so are they going to change the name from the Sinestro Corps to the Yellow Lantern Corps perhaps? or maybe the Fear Corps? Just some ideas, I don't have to get paid for that, just draw me as a Lantern, even if you kill me in one issue.

We see some great character development with Hal. He is stuck in a room and uses ever construct he can fathom, and he runs out of power in his ring. He thinks that he will soon die and asks himself what one last construct he would want to see before he dies, as the last thing he would ever see....He made Carol. It was a great moment for Hal I think.

Sinestro gets put into a cell with his old countrymen who all hate him.

I won't spoil the end, but it is yet another great twist.

No mention of the Guardians and their sick minds in this issue, but it was packed so there was no room for that.

Art as always is great, with one exception, I really don't like the way that Doug Mahnke draws Hal Jordan without his mask and other GL gear. No Complaints other than that

Love, love love this book. If this title was a person, I would want to have sex with it.

Harley Quinn is very quickly becoming one of my favorite characters in all of comics. She is so much fun. There was a very nice seed planted for next issue, because her fail safe bomb has been deactivated.

We have gotten rid of the douche that we call Captain Boomerang. It turns out that he never had a trigger to detonate the team after all. Just a toy so that he would feel like he was in control.

I will actually be making a very bold statement about this book....I went back last night and read Secret Six #24-36 and as much as I loved that run, , I like Suicide Squad even better. I want to see if they will take this as deep as they took the Secret Six.

Yep, still my favorite Batman book out there.

This is such a different side of Bruce to see. It is weird to see him a father, not just a mentor. If he can't figure out how to get this all straightened out, the consequences will be dire to Damian.

At first glance, Damian my seem like nothing more than a Jason Todd knock off, but I think there is something much more. The writers could end up making him one of the most evil characters in the DCU, or he could be the greatest leader and force for good since Bruce himself. There will be a lot more twists in his path until we have an answer of where he will end up

Ah, the first of the Christmas issues in the new 52. Something tells me this may be pretty much it.

This was a very fitting end to the Mirror Arc. I do hope we get to see him again, and he has been saved so we may eventually.

The two best parts of this was the cliffhanger at the end that will be bringing us into the next story arc and the beginning where Barbra and Batgirl are talking to each other in a dream.

What do you think the "big secret" her roommate was about to share before Barbra flipped out? I think it will be a big deal eventually

If every issue was as good as this one, it would be outsell the DC new 52......or at least both of the Deadpool titles and maybe even Wolverine.

This was absolutely hilarious. The art was great, the guest appearances were well thought out and fun, the story was engaging and it had a great cliffhanger(please Marvel, if you are cancelling this, let me make it through this arc)

To start with, I am not a big fan of the free music download to listen to, however, it does make for a great background noise when you are reading.

At last this book is beginning to get exciting and is growing into the potential that I initially saw in this title when I first picked it up.

This issue goes into the history of the mask that there has been so much mention of in the last two issues.

Still am not in love with any of the characters, however, several of them are starting to grow on me a lot. I think I will end up reading all 3 first issues the day before the next issue comes out. I feel like that may be what this title really needs.

The art felt a bit weaker in this issues in a lot of the panels than the last few issues. I hope they are not just trading good art for better storytelling

In a very unique marketing move, that I don't feel is being properly exploited. When you buy this comic, you get a code for a song written by the writer of this book, Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine. The track from this book is mostly a Backing Soundtrack for while you read the book.

I am not sure if i really like this book right now. I am hoping it picks up soon. I would consider it to be on the bubble for me. I don't think it is bad, but I don't know if it is good enough to have to drop another book for it

I am really liking her being so unsure of herself but I don't know how long that can go on and still stay interesting. I do trust Gail Simone to take us on a fantastic journey though and she is doing a good job so far.

Another great issue. I am so glad I decided to keep this as my main Batbook.

So Batman is protecting this Robin so much more than he has ever protected the other three. Because Damian is his son, it may be clouding his view and I think it is a good thing for Bruce... but is killing Damian inside. That is the main reason I think that Damian had such a great relationship and grew so much under Dick Grayson when he was under the cowl, because Dick treated him the way a Robin is supposed to be treated.

Damian is getting his clock cleaned in this issue and hopefully when he and Batman come out of this, will strenghten them both as a team when Damian realizes he doesn't have all of the awnsers and Bruce realizes he can't hold too tight of a leash on him.

On the Run from the Sinestro Corps

Oh..My...Goth. Where do I begin with this? Before I go into details, I will say that this may be THE BEST GREEN LANTERN BOOK I HAVE EVER READ!

Ok, there are about to be major spoilers. I realize I almost always do spoilers but I really hope everyone picks this one up.

There were 2 major reveals and a few less major reveals as well. The first big one comes from the Guardians. They talk about how the Manhunters had Faults. Then they created the Green lantern Corps but they had Faults as well. Now they have decided that they will now create a third Army. I think that this may just tie into the New Guardians. I could see how they may have put it all into motion and want to have a full spectrum force....But that is just my speculation.

The next big reveal happens at the end when Sinestro sends Hal into the main power battery for the Yellow Lanterns to destroy the source of the Sinestro Corps power. When Hal enters, he is disintegrated. It looks like it was not an intentional act by Sinestro. I don't know where they are going to go with this as all, but I want to know.

Not quite as excited about this title as I have been. There is nothing wrong with it, and it is still a lot better than a lot of the stuff out there, but this just didn't feel like as much fun.

Harley Quinn really stepped out as a white trash goddess. Honestly, I really can't get enough of her as a character. So smart and sexy but rolled into a huge roll of psycho.

Nice character development for Deadshot this issue. He is becoming more and more of a memorable character to me.

I don't really know if I am happy about the two new additions to replace Voltic(who died last issue) and Spider(caught in the middle of an explosion...He may make it if the government doesn't kill him in the hospital). The replaements are Yo-Yo(I have no idea who he is) and Captain Boomerang(one of the more famous villians from the Flash). Waller has given the entire team to Boomerang to be the leader by giving him the remote to blow up anyone on the team that disobeys him. I personally think that it is a rouse and that the remote does nothing.
