Comic Reviews - Week of November 16th, 2005
Very quick reviews this week, as I’m swamped with a to do list which includes watching the new episode of Smallville, laying out the new issue of Cut & Print Magazine and doing various chores that I’ve neglected all week.
I picked up 4 comics this week and was pleasantly surprised with a number of them.
CAPTAIN ATOM: ARMAGEDDON (#2 of 9) – For those who don’t know, Captain Atom was apparently blown to smithereens in an issue of Super/Batman when he stopped a Kryptonite meteor. But, he didn’t die. Instead, in a very cool twist, he was transported to the WildStorm universe (a separate line of comics published under the Time Warner umbrella).
Basically, in this world, superheroes are not welcomed and Atom is trying to find a way back home. Great building issue that sets up what’s going to go on in the rest of the series.
A CUT & PRINT COLLECT THE WHOLE SERIES
GREEN LANTERN #5 – Well, this one sort of sucked, no doubt about that. Hal Jordan fights the big shark villain that’s usually kicking around the ocean. And he fights it, and fights it. Not much other than Jordan fighting the shark and little alien dudes running around kidnapping people. Plus, this issue is like two months late.
A CUT & PRINT NO.
SUPERGIRL #3 – Somewhere I missed a crossover and I’m a little bit wishy washy on the storyline. Somebody has been watching Supergirl (it ends up being Luthor) and the Outsiders are around to help her. Supergirl, though, gets a huge crush on Nightwing, kisses him, runs away, takes on Luthor herself and at the end of the comic, after getting attacked by some sort of ray of Luthor’s, splits in two and a black/white version of her appears.
A CUT & PRINT OKAY
ALL STAR SUPERMAN #1 – Best comic of the week. The all star line is a cool idea and Grant Morrison has the reigns of Superman in this one. A cool first book that announces that Superman is dying because he saved an expedition to the sun and got so lose to the sun that his cells are absorbing too much sunlight and dying. At the end of the first issue, he reveals his identity to Lois and she drops her bag of groceries. That’s probably not the only thing she’s going to be dropping in the next issue when they go off to the fortress together (oh, I’m so bad). This, of course, is out of the continuity and is it’s own book.
A CUT & PRINT GO BUY THIS ONE.
