New X-men 44
Chapter 4 in the Messiah Complex. Okay so I figured out what is bugging me about the New X-men. The art has been so cartoonish that I can't really differentiate between characters. Difficult to get on board if the characters don't carry over. Of course there is like 12 "new" x-men. Anyway the cover of this made me realize that I do like these characters but the way they have been drawn as made it difficult to follow. Got the Days of Future Past going again. And of course the age old story of young ones flaunting their elders to make up for past mistakes...
Captain America 32
Story keeps getting better...you'd think after Cap got shot things would go down hill but Brubaker keeps things moving. Bucky (can't say Winter Soldier, sounds goofy). So it looks like Sharon is pregnant with Caps kid, she is still fighting with herself and sort of helps out Bucky. And to top it off Bucky gets to meet his nemesis next issue...Iron Man.
Powers 27
Bendis's best work keeps moving forward. Have to admit I miss the days of Deena and Pilgram doing cop work...not for sure if this whole gaining power thing is really working out for the two of them. I miss the early work but at least the characters are growing and I guess it would have sucked if it had done a "Moonlighting" thing. Really to be honest the one reason I still read this is for the letters page. His letter winner got to answer this month's mail and her response below made me laugh, "Superman would still be superman if hadn't landed in Kansas. Unless he landed in Mexico. Then he would be Fabulosohombre."
Umbrella Academy 3
Good wacky fun but wish the story was a bit less chaotic. Hardly know the characters and the story just seems to be shotgunning all over the place. Difficult to follow, might have to wait until all six issues are done and go back and read it again. The characters are fascinating but the dynamic is tough to read as you don't really know what they do.
