....it must have been Clor, dressed up in the real Thor's clothes... yeah, that's it.. gimme my no-prize, marvel--
Don't normally post here, but damn there were some good books published this week.
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #11 is just brilliant. One of the best comic book stories I've ever read. My friend Dwayne McDuffie is going to a great job on this book, but this standalone issue raises the bar for all of us in this profession. Gene Ha, who always does a great job (his work on TOP 10 was fantastic) goes to the next level here. Is he sticking around?
WORLD WAR HULK is also great. Greg Pak is doing a fantastic job. And JR jr...nuff said.
NEW AVENGERS is killing it. Bendis is in top form and Yu is also genius. Damn it's a good book.
CAPTAIN AMERICA is so good it's hard to believe it's sustain like it is with the title character not returning any time soon. Amazing.
THE SPIRIT - Darwyn Cooke deserves every award in the world for reviving this character PERFECTLY. Frank Miller is going to have a hard time making a movie as good as these issues.
ULTIMATE POWER - JMS is so damn underrated. And Greg Land is killing it.
THUNDERBOLTS - it's a one shot but well written and Ellis' reinvention of the series is just genius.
BATMAN - Morrison and Kubert continue to produce a classic run on the character.
THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD - Waid really figured out how to make a team up book work, which to my knowledge has never been done. Far more readable to me than COUNTDOWN or 52 or any of those sprawling storylines. With Perez in fine form.
Re: Omega Flight- good stuff, though I wanted it to be a double-sized issue. I can’t wait to see how the fight continues from here. Sasquatch should be pretty messed up. I am wondering, though—the Wrecker was wrecked by the New Avengers a while back, so I’m curious as to how he got loose again. Could very well have happened in all the Civil War mayhem, I guess (I guess the whole ‘Raft escapees’ plot has been all but abandoned—but I digress…). I’m waiting to see the exact circumstances on how USAgent and Arachne are introduced to the team (side note—Arachne apparently gets ‘handled’ by the teenaged newbie Arana in the Ms. Marvel book—wha?!). I’m hoping that Oeming doesn’t portray John Walker as a mentally imbalanced super-Rambo.. and where is Simon Walters?
Re: Fallen Son/Wolverine- another good script by Loeb; I wanted the confrontation between Crossbones and Wolverine to be much longer; I dig how he goaded Crossbones into shooting him. Nice touch adding Dr. Strange into the mix; though I wonder what Iron Man realistically thinks he can do to combat him.
RE: DD#93Goat, glad you liked my DD review and you feel the same way about this arc. Everyone should be reading this comic!!
ME TOO! Sam Me too! totally blown away! Great comic and a great arc! Extremely well written.
p.s. didn't really want to intrude in your reviews thread. I would rather it be just your post and/or other reviews so please delete this post after you read it. I'm just happy to see someone else is reading DD here and enjoying it as much as I do.
Morrison's X MEN is all time great to me. I know there are a lot of haters...whatever.
