New Comic book updates
Hey ya'll. Not only will this clue you in on what I bought but what I've thought on new comics.
But first, news!
I've bought two new toys in the recent past, Darth Tater and War Machine from the Galactus line. I now have all of the toys in that series.
If you all check out this live journal, but not Meri's you are missing out. Seriously, check that site out, he proves on a daily basis how he is waaaay smarter than I am. Even with his munchkin taking up his time. I am officially stupid. Oh well.
I'll be finishing BC 15 this weekend and I will be glad to have it done. It will suck to high Heaven but it wraps up the rather weak storyline. I'll be thankful that next issue is with his friends and family instead of dealing with villians much. It's also the crossover with Captain America, and that means that I might just let Omar take over most of the fighting stuff. He'll have to end the crossover anyways.
Avalanche 3 will guest star X-Force, and I have a fun interaction with Cable planned. This series is a lot of fun.
Legends 8, I feel like I'm running out of steam on this series. When I hit issue 13, it'll change around, but writing each issue like it was five different series takes it out of me.
Onto the comics!
Cable and Deadpool 13. This is a back issue, but this series kicks mucho ass. Deadpool playing detective is fun, and I think I'd have a great time writing a Deadpool series. Maybe after Avalanche? I enjoy how the supporting cast tosses Deadpool away from the main crime by giving him "busy work" to keep him away from it.
Best line was after he decided to attack a mosque to solve the murder. "I mean, why let statistics, truth and reality cloud my judgement? I'm not gonna be some pansy liberal."
Cable and Deadpool 16. New issue alert! Opening page confused me a bit. Is Siryn and Cannonballs a couple now? (If you read this series, you'll get that joke.) I like how Deadpool reacts to Cable's dream come true. "Boring" and "No life."
This book is great because there was a little Cable in (double meaning for those who read the book) and I'm a huge fan of Deadpool.
Best part of the book?
"Funny. Hit a new world and my first thought is 'Cable took it over.' Wonder if that means anything to the themes and subtext of the story? Probably not."
Day of Vengeance 3. Series is half way done, and we get an interesting stalling technique. Captain Marvel is taking on the Spectre, and four of the Mystical Six or whatever they call themselves (my vote is for The Oblivion Bar's All-Star Discount Hero Squad and Goodtime Traveling Bingo Show. You can never have too much bingo)has to beat Eclipso in hopes that it'll bring Spectre back to his senses. They apparently kill Eclipso (don't bet on it) and Enchantress funnels magic from all over the DCU into Captain Marvel to pound on the Spectre. Personally, I think Enchantress will go corrupt with power and that'll lead to another fight.
And everything hinges on Lori Zechlin? Black Alice? Okay, let's see what happens.
This is the best of the three mini series that I'm getting from Countdown.
GLA 3. Book of the week. Again. Nothing has knocked this down. Not even the death of.... Monkey Joe.
But this is book of the month due to a special two panel appearance by CAPTAIN ULTRA! Seriously, when this man turns you down, your group sucks. This story is told through Big Bertha's view point, and it shows how she loses her additional weight. She throws it up. Disgusting, no?
Doctor Doom shows up in his Mystical armor to kill Monkey Joe. Man, this guy has fallen a bit, hasn't he? Killing squirrels? It's kinda sad to see such a good villian fall so hard.
there were a lot of good lines, but my favorite was with Flatman and a doctor.
Doctor: Of course, we could never reverse time, since it only flows in one direction?
Flatman: And that'd be...?
Doctor: Uhm... forward.
Flatman: Ah yes.
Hercules 3. This book is very solid, but relies too much on Hercules just happening to lucking through the tasks. I know that was the concept of the entire thing, but still, it seemed a bit overboard to me. Though there was the greatest fight I've seen the Abomination in. He's talking smack about Hercules. Herk says "Excuse me" and hits Abomination with a lamp post. Match over. Herk wins.
Invinsible 0. It was free and a quick run of the issues in the past. Seems like a cool series, I might pick it up on a more normal basis.
JLA Classified 8. Decent. I think this series is losing steam. I don't know if Giffen and Dematteis is trying ot force something or not. Guess we'll see what the last issue brings.
Mickey Mouse and Friends 278. I got if for the baby cousin, haven't read it, but it seems cool. Written by Walt Disney and put out in 1949 with no ads, this felt like a real treat. Of course, the cover has NOTHING to do with the story inside. Or at least what I've seen flipping through it.
Rankings:
GLA 3
Day of Vengeance 3
Cable and Deadpool 13
Cable and Deadpool 16
Mickey Mouse and Friends 278 (it was by Walt, it had to be high ranking)
Hercules 3
Invincible 0
JLA Classified 8
