Been a busy week...I'm working on a script for a movie - I know ambitious and arrogant but I figure at the very least it will help me writing skills. If anyone reading this would like to take a peek, please let me know. Anyways, onto my reviews for my week:
Batman Inc. #3- This is a book that was delayed for a month which sees the return of Matches Malone. He's a character that always seemed cool but dates and while the character speaks like what we might imagine a modern criminal might, his look is straight out of the 1970's. This is an issue that seems to keep building Talia's organization Leviathan and how extensive and intricate it is. We also see that Damian is, of course, alive but might be taking on the identity of Redwing, which I'm sure will eventually reveal who the new Wingman is. As usual I love many of the moments like Bat-Cow but per usual, have a hard time following some the dialogue. B+.
Invincible Iron Man #523 - I've really enjoyed Iron Man since Fraction came on and this final set of arcs really seems a thank you to long time readers. And while I imagine it'd be easy for a new reader to jump on board, many of the character moments- Pepper now with Wyche, what's Rhodey doing, the Rescue armor -good or bad?, Tony working with Zeke and his enemies, the possibility of Mandarin's rings have alien souls inside them....great stuff and if you like Iron Man, I suggest getting back issues or picking up the trade. A.
Justice League Dark #12 - I picked up the first few issues of this book, but then dropped it. I picked it up again with Lemire's first issue and love the new direction of the book - their connection to ARGUS and thus the regular Justice League, the re-imagined characters, and the upping the ante of the threats. Great art as well. A.
Secret Avengers #30 - Ok - so I really like Remender's writing and especially! that he is picking threads that were introduced in the first arc of Secret Avengers by Brubaker but putting his own spin on this. The only problem I have is the art is very scratchy and at times distracting. B-.
Uncanny X-Men #17 - I do enjoy that Gillen did the side arc with Sinister vs. the Phoenix Five. I enjoyed that Danger, Storm, Psylocke and Magneto were left to save the day. The two different artists were distracting however. Also, if these issue has happened before the last two or three issues of the main Avengers vs. X-Men series would given this arc much more importance. B.
