Hello true believers, and welcome to my 'Whenever-i-feel-like-it' comics review! This time i will do it in two parts, since i have a lot of shit to cover and i have to do it sneakily at the job since i'm supposed to work!
I'll never be productive! NEVER! I prefer reproduction anyways. It's what i was born to do. Ask your girl, she'll tell you.
So, without further delay, and in no particular order (i'll never be organised, NEVER!)
GHOST RIDER 12-13 *** and ***** respectively
Considering this series was beginning to suck, it's nice to see a little change. I think they changed the writer, or else Danny Way just woke up to be like usual: fucking great. We see some classic ol' inner turmoil between the Spirit of Vengeance and Johnny Blaze. Good ol' John wants to go help the heroes fight Hulk, while Flamehead don't give a rat's ass about the chaos of World War Hulk. Issue 12 ends in a cliffhanger as Ghost Rider arrives face to skull with the Emerald Behemoth. ***SPOILERS*** Issue 13: Dr.Strange monitors the fight from afar, tries to determine if Ghost Rider has a chance to win. Hulk bashes Ghost Rider's face in after one fatal mistake, and promptly KILLS Johnny Blaze! Released from his eartly host, the embodiment of every biker dream, THE Ghost Rider unleashes a fucking big hellflame on Hulk, who survives easily. Ghost Rider stares at Hulk and we are reminded by Stephen Strange that he is the Spirit of Vengeance, and that he protects only the innocent. The issue ends up in an even cooler way, with Dr. Strange saying like that to Iron Man: And we... are far from innocent'. Fucking cool.
HEROES FOR HIRE 11 ****
Oooookay. Humbug just acts plain WEIRD in the whole issue, due to the alien insects present on the planet. If you like that character, check out that issue. ***SPOILERS*** HE fucking beheads an alien insect kid with his bare hands! I'm buying issue 12!
To date, the most boring issue with the WORLD WAR HULK banner on it. But wait for more development. Oh yeah, Hercules rock!
IRON MAN 19 ****
Another perspective of what you read in the main title of World War Hulk, not very necessary, but still cool. ***SPOILERS*** I like that issue cause shellhead gets his ass handed to him, plus he has a fucking cool armor! If you want to know why the nanobots failed, read The Initiative tie-in!
Eddie Brock, you pitiful, small man... You see, Mr. Brock sold the Venom symbiote to some bidder (completely ridiculous and a total disregard of his discontinuity since they are merged on a molecular level after that whole fucking cool Planet of the Symbiots thingie back in the 90s... unless i missed something more recent, wich i most certainly did) (and Scorpion bought the suit, of all people) because he has cancer i think, and is trying to raise some money for treatments. He's quite happy when he learns that Aunt May is in a coma in the same hospital as him, and his demented, symbiote-affected mind (poisoned mind? Venom? Get it?) tries to convince him to do the obvious and just kill the old bag once and for all, exacting a sweet, sweet revenge on Spidey. Anyways, i think she came back from the grave as much times as Petey himself. I read the next part, and i drop the title.
SILVER SURFER: REQUIEM 1-2 *****
I looooooooove the Soaring Sentinel of the Spaceways, and i am quite satisfied with this series so far! Big annoucement, big sad feelings from Norin Radd, free to roam the multi-verse, but still trapped within his own mortality. The vocabulary almost does justice to Stan Lee, the storyline is great, and the art is straight out of some Mythos issue, wich is great. I love his interaction with Spider-Man in issue 2, and Spidey's look with his eyes completely black. ***SPOILERS*** Silver Surfer is dying of some unknown cause due to the very fabric of his silvery skin, if i remember well. He pays a visit to Reed Richards, stays a little to talk with Spider-Man (who wouldn't), feels nostalgic about his adoptive planet (that's earth!) and then intends to take a long last look at his home planet, and his undying love, Zenn-La. No action, just a fucking great book.
Well, i just got caught by 4 people in 4 minutes doing this blog, time to do some work.
Silly geek, comics are for kids!
