Avenger X-Sanction #1
I wasn't super looking forward to Avengers X-Sanction, Jeph Loeb's(the writer) work recently has been quite awful. But I love Cable, he is definitively one of my top ten favorite X-men. But unfortunately this book was awful! It didn't even fully explain not only how Cable surived but also how the hell he traveled through time. I also found the whole "I only have x amount of hours to finish my mission" both overused and cliche. Will I continue on this book? Yes, why? Because it's supposed to lead into the whole Avengers VS. X-Men event, and that is something that I'm looking forward to.THUMBS DOWN!
Batman and Robin #4
Let's be honest Batman and Robin will never be as good as it was when Grant Morrision wrote it, but I feel that this recent arc has brought Batman and Robin back to one of the books I look forward to. The new villain/anti-hero Nobody has finally attacked Bruce and Damian directly and has caused their relationship to become more strained then ever. My favorite part in this issue is when Alfred is talking to Bruce and tells him how Damian has finally had that moment where he realized just how human Bruce is. I wonder how Nobody mentoring Robin will go, will Robin cross the line that Bruce has put in place?
THUMBS UP!
Green Lantern #4
Meh. Meh is the exact feeling I've had for the New Green Lantern series, it's been neither good nor bad. I kinda liked the whole Sinestro going back to Korugar to see that his corp has enslaved his people. But what was up with that ending? I was hoping that the fellow prisoners would help Hal and Sinestro, but instead they attack him. What the hell?
THUMBS DOWN!
Uncanny X-Force #18
I love Rick Remeder's work. Between X-Force and Venom his stuff has been amazing, which is why I've been looking forward to the final issue of the Dark Angel Saga. And trust me it does not disappoint. My favorite part of the issue was when Angel lives out his live in a dream, similar to Inception. I definitively look forward to reading how this event effects the team.THUMBS UP!
Action Comics #4
So far Action Comics has been a great title. Morrison has gotten me into a character that I found highly overrated. In this issue we see an alien virus infect machines throughout the Metropolis, including John Corben. They attack Supes and when it looks like they might beat him Steel shows up and knocks-out Corben. The issue gets really fuzzy after that because you don't quite know what happened. It seems like Metropolis was extracted from the earth and is now part of an alien collection, but I'm not one hundred percent sure. That is the only part of the book I didn't like. However I loved the Steel back-up at the end of the book. I like how he is kinda short and scrawny compared to the old Steel. But all and all I liked the book and look forward to the explanation of what happened to Metropolis.THUMBS UP
