Second only to "free beer:" "free comics"
Thanks to the wonder of computers, I've read many many more books this week. Super sweet. So much to do before the Simpson's Halloween Special tomorrow night, but here we go. As usual, rankings are Thumbs Up, Meh, and Thumbs Down. Don't believe me, ask the dishes.
House of M #8: Thumbs up. The first 6 issues of this series got a thumbs way down. The last two are up. Should have been done in 4 issues, this was ridiculously drawn out. But hey, they had to give the other Limited Series time to run their course. Know what I want? I just want a list of all the mutants who still have powers, and a Where Are They Now of the major players who lost theirs. Solid art, too, characters looked less stiff than Coipel has drawn before.
Captain Universe/ Hulk: Thumbs down. It's gimmicky, and not all that interesting, or well drawn. Sorry. Not even worth talking about any more.
Spider-Man Unlimited #12: Thumbs way up! Loved it loved it. I'm a big Tom Beland (True Story, Swear to God) fan, and his Spidy story had me a little choked up. At the end, I was smiling cause it just made you feel good. The first story was a fun one as well, which left me smiling from being amused. Better than the regular Spidey books right now (can't fall out of the Other ditch).
Superman #223: Meh. Supergirl says goodbye to Superman before going off into space to help Donna Troi. Oh, and a bad guy attacks them at the behest of Luther. That's really it. It felt like an amateur plotted it, it was that simple.
Still to come: Outsiders, Blood of the Demon, JSA, Sentinel, SS: Bulleteer.
And maybe: 10th Muse, Kabuki, Kolchak, Swamp Thing, Solo, Ultimate FF, Wildsiderz, Batman: Gotham County, and Marvel Adventures Spider-Man. Maybe. Let me know if you want to see any of these, or if there are other books you're curious about.
