Weekly Write-up 1/18/12

*SPOILERS**SPOILERS**SPOILERS* SPOILERS*


Batman #5
    The last issue ended with Batman falling into a labyrinth. This issue picks up about a week after where he is still stuck in the labyrinth. Whats great about this is that we start to see Bruce slowly go insane throughout the book, which ends with him be stabbed through the gut by the Talon. I suspect that this is just in his head since in the shot he has the hands and feet of a owl or bat. The art in this issue is fantastic, I was never a fan of Capullo's work until now.
THUMBS UP!  

Daredevil #8
   The Devil and the Details Part 2. Waid wraps up this issue quite nicely with the team finding out that the stolen tech was actually stolen by its creator. The best scene in the book is when Daredevil and Black Cat hook up, Spider-man is in the background and says that this is his super-villain origin. It was okay nothing special, but not bad.
THUMBS UP! 

Moon Knight #9
Oh no the Moon Knight series is ENDING, not only that he is also leaving the Secret Avengers. I think this means one thing: Bendis is going to kill him. Please don't kill Moon Knight the series has been great so far and the characters are awesome. This issue is the start of the final showdown between Moon Knight and the kingpin of LA. I'm not going to reveal to much but someone gets mortally wounded.
THUMBS UP!

Venom #12
    Flash Tompson loses control once again in this issue and fights against Jack o'Lantern. I think the main thing in this issue is Flash breaking up with Betsy and turning to alcohol. I'm very interested and where Rick Reminder takes this series, especially with Venom joining the Secret Avengers.
NO THUMBS (Meh.)

Uncanny X-force #20
   I wasn't one-hundred percent thrilled with this issue, probably since I'm not a huge Captain Britain fan. I also felt that Reminder didn't really explain what the hell Otherworld is and why it has so much authority. And AoA Nightcrawler was a total douche! I hope it gets better as it goes on.
THUMBS DOWN!
