This Week in Comics...

Buffy #20
A filler issue...ha pretty fun little issue.  Taking a page from the old days when supposedly Buffy was being shopped as an animated show.  Well the show never happened but taking the characterizations and throwing them into a dream makes this special kind of fun.  Although it is a little sad because Buffy goes back to her days before becoming a serious slayer.







Iron Man #8
Tony Stark post Invasion has Tony being a thorn in Osborne's side and we've barely begun.  My question is when does Pepper put the suit on?  Has there ever been a female to wear the suit?   Anyway it looks like Tony has gone underground and rogue.  Should be a good one...








Spider-Man Noir #1
The X-men Noir was okay but this one seemed to work a bit better.  I have to admit I am a fan of new takes on old characters.  With only 4 issues each will the story have enough time to develop anything worth while (i.e. Alpha Flight).








X-men #505
OK what is up with this storyline? First you build up this Maddie thing then you put it on hold for two issues and lose whatever you were trying to build. Of course then you throw in this play with Emma joining up with Norman (?) Your killing the story. Ughhh stories makes comics and maybe Fraction is trying to keep Dodson off of the Maddie story since it is more female driven? Oh well whatever..
