Hey geeks and nerds, and welcome to the first blog of Weekly Comics Review. WOW! Two blogs in one day you dare ask? I know! I'm totaly bored!
Let's not delay the show more than needs to, and start with my 3rd favourite comic from the week of 2007-01-17. Actually, i didn't pick up much this week, so i'll mix comics from last week too. Also, i pretty much only read Marvel comics, so there ya go. Also, i missed several issues wich were sold-out, like Spider-Man: Reign #2, Thunderbolts #110 (ARG!) and some more wich i am too lazy to write. I'll also try to keep the spoilers to a minimum.
3. Cable/Deadpool #36
Not the greatest art, as a matter of fact it completely sucks compared to what they add at the start of the series. Not the greatest story either, it pretty much sucks, and that title has been giving felatios around the clock for at least 10 issues now. BUT i am a die-hard fan of both Cable and especially the Merc with a Mouth, so i'm pretty glad to see him back in the spotlight, instead of being just a plot device. Sounds like the writer is laying ground for some up-and-comming cool shit.
2. Incredible Hulk #102
Personally, i always liked the emerald behemoth, but never bought the title, until Planet Hulk kicked off. The story arc had its ups and downs, and kind of let you wondering how it would end, wich is a good thing in my opinion. This issue ended in an awesome way, and that is why it is in the number 2 spot. Also, in two issues is World War Hulk starting, wich gives, to me, even more importance to this book.
1. Fantastic Four #542
Wow! Number 542! I would never had picked up a FF title, except there's this big bright blue banner (4-hit combo!) on the cover, with big bold CIVIL WAR letters. Turns out, this is pretty much my favourite issue of the whole month! The coolest idea is clearly Reed Richards going to see one of his old enemies for advice and a second impression on his calculations. It's pretty much him bragging about his intelect for the whole issue. But, turns out Mr. Fantastic gets lectured by this nemesis, and i couldn't help but find this hysterical. With BIG teasers about the outcome and consequences of Civil War. Hardcore readers will most definetly want to pick this one up!
And while we're at it, i'll also put my top 3 DISlikes of the month, maybe make some people save money.
3. Spider-Man: The reign #1
Actually, this issue is not bad at all, and sounds pretty promising, with awesome colors, a cool drawing style, and a fresh take on Spider-Man. Only, it's a blatant COPY of The Dark Knight Returns, Frank Miller's AWESOME look into the future of Batman. You can still pick up the book, wich is strangely original in his unoriginality. J.J.Jameson really surprised me, but i didn't like the fact that Peter kills someone on his first night back in town.
2. Ghost Rider #7
What a huge let down. The drawings look like they were made with crayola by some kid from Stamford. That's right, a zombie kid with his hands blown out by Nitro, so he had to draw with his eye-socket that was empty because his eye melted in the heath of the explosion. It is not on the first spot of dislikes because the ending was preatty fucking cool. But so far, this whole series is pretty bad. I'm giving it a chance until #10, then pulling out like a man about to cum, having sex without protection with a girl he really doesn't want to have kids with.
1. Sensational Spider-Man #34
What a REALLY huge let down. I was getting ready to see Black Cat being pummeled by The Rhino, with hopes of a boob popping out. You think her nipples have long, silver hair on them? That would ruin it. Anyways. They got me all pumped up about a big fight last issue, and guess what, there's no friggin' fight. I think it lasts 2 panels. You'd think a drunk Rhino would be cool, but instead they choose to focus on Felicia's emotions, and this whole arc is about the women in the life of Spider-Man. I think Peter Parker is not even in this issue! If i wanted to read such boring things, i'd pick up Mary-Jane loves Spider-Man or whatever it's called. HUGE disapointment. Kids will have to jack off to images of the Black Cat riding her bycicle instead of her doing jump kicks legs wide spread.
