#2 Civil War Crossover- Civil War: Frontline #6 In this issue, Ben Urich confronts Iron Man about hiring villains to do his dirty work, and gets everything but a verbal confirmation that it’s true. I don’t actually remember that aspect of the Urich/Green Goblin interaction from a couple of issues ago, but after the ending…
#3 Civil War Crossover- Captain America #22 Check out the group review from yesterday for my thoughts on this issue. #3 Disappointing Book- Young Avengers & Runaways #3 (of 4) It was my #5 Civil War crossover of the week, but that’s because there were only five of those. I must not give enough credit…
#4 Civil War Crossover- Cable & Deadpool # 32 Last issue, George W. Bush fought Cable to a standstill in the Oval Office. Okay, so technically (as we found out this issue) it was a Life Model Decoy specifically designed to go toe-to-toe with Cable in a verbal smackdown, but still, that’s pretty cool. This…
Considering I picked up 23 books this week (well, 24 if you count the second copy of Teen Titans I accidentally bought), it hardly seemed fair to only spotlight five this week. So I’ve decided to do a double countdown this week. And I couldn’t think of any two categories that fit as well together…
The Hellfire Club has taken over the X-Mansion and taken out the Astonishing X-Men. Cyclops is a drooling vegetable thanks to Emma Frost. Beast has become his namesake and is devouring a freshly killed deer on the front lawn. Colossus was knocked out by Sebastian Shaw. Kitty’s mind has been taken over by the White…
After beating and raping Michonne routinely for days, the Governor decides it’d be a good idea to give her back her sword. In exchange for putting up a good fight in the arena, he’ll ease off on the beating and the raping for a while. Stupid, stupid man. Michonne manages to decapitate nine zombies and…
From Belgrade, Serbia to Ayaguz, Kazakhstan to Altamy International Airport to the Turkish coast. In one fight. You’d think that sort of think would happen more often when you’re Superman. I guess Subjekt-17 isn’t quite the pushover that Toyman is.
I just realized that the #4 Moment of the Week (from Civil War #4) just happens to coincide with our group review of Civil War #4. Weird. And not particularly good if your uber-crossover only ranks above Robin. I don’t care that Goliath is dead. He hadn’t been around for years until Reggie Hudlin needed…
Rich kids in Gotham are being kidnapped. Luckily, Robin’s a rich kid now so he makes the perfect bait. Tim talks Bruce into announcing the adoption on the cover of Fortune so the kidnappers are sure to know about him. The best moment? Realizing that on this case, Batman’s the sidekick. Who wants to read…
A relatively light week for yours truly. I also picked up Truth, Justin and the American Way #4, but I’m a few issue behind in that mini so I haven’t read it yet, and probably won’t for a while. On to the reviews! 52 Week 19 Skeets is evil? That’s a twist I didn’t see…
