This Week in Comics

Batman 673
What is Morrison on?  Love his work, but it really doesn't mean much until his run is done then you can look back and say "Wow" what a run. Unfortunately it just doesn't seem that way from issue to issue.  It is really tough to be pulling out these old themes...great he went back 400 issues ago to dig out some rare plot point but come on, I don't want cliff notes to understand it all!






Captain America 34
The Winter Soldier finally takes the mantle.  Not really a wham bam issue. Thought it would be a bigger in your face, kickin issue.  It almost seemed like a training wheels intro.  Come on, Bucky is the man why can't he just start kicking bad guy butt.  Anyway surprising end more Tony bashing ahead.







Ultimate Spider-Man 118
Bendis and his silly love of old cartoons...Firestar!  Spider-Man and friends is a catchy little run.   Hopefully some lightheartedness and classic Bendis humor with Peter. The last run with Green Goblin was a bit dark.  We shall see...great art as usual, and it now has become  a standard question of where the full page spread will be!  Last page on this one!
