Comic Reviews - Week of December 7th
Before getting to the comics reviews this week, let’s stop for a moment and discuss that X3 trailer. While it doesn’t quite capture the epic nature of the best superhero trailers (*cough* Superman Returns trailer *cough*), it does do a good job showing how bad they’re going to screw this one up.
I mean, Cyclops is barely anywhere to be seen. Storm is going to ruin the movie with her expanded role and Beast looks like a fat, blue vampire. Okay, I’m hating because Cyclops has always been my favorite X-man and I have a bad feeling that he is going to be on the receiving end of one of the three deaths but seriously, it should be an okay movie and a good way to end the trilogy. I doubt, though, that it’ll be able to match the first and second X-men movies. Here’s hoping it does.
On to the comics.
SUPERMAN #224 – We go from a great Superman title (last week’s Adventures of Superman) to this garbage. The Blackrock storyline is back again (from the last Superman comic) and look, Superman beats her in a lame, lame way, by shielding her using lead and the rock losing faith in the chick. This, somehow, lets Superman pretend that everything’s alright again and that he can be a hero (it seems he’s learning in every issue that he needs to be a hero again). I thought this was a lame issue, thus, it gets a CUT & PRINT LAME.
SUPERMAN: SECRET FILES & ORIGINS 2005 – From a lame Superman title to a half way interesting one. This is a collection of stories and such that would never fill an entire issue. There is some good stuff, like the “Superman appreciation day” story and some lame recreations, like the first time Superman and Lois do an interview (Lois is written over the top in that one) so this one falls in the middle somewhere. Pick it up if you want some different type Superman tales. The art is awesome in the one, though, with many different artists all giving their different renditions of the Man of Steel.
A CUT & PRINT OKAY.
JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #80 – Oh please God, don’t let Keith Champagne kill Dr. Fate… Yes! He didn’t kill Fate! Whoohoo. Nothing more to see here. Move along now… move along.
A CUT & PRINT THE LAST THREE ISSUE’S CONFUSED ME BUT AT LEAST THEY DIDN’T KILL DR. FATE.
