They're ba-ack

No poltergeists in any of these books (waiting for the next Walking Dead tpb for those). Just some good, some bad and some meh. So here we go...

Nightcrawler #11: Meh. The book isn't bad, but I can see why it's being cancelled (other than too many x-titles and no support from corporate for new titles). That art is really good. The story structure is superb. But Nightcrawler is a character things happen to, he's not an active protagonist. And his supporting characters literally stand around waiting for their scene. It's definately a Nightcrawler story, no other character could be used to tell these stories, he just doesn't act, he reacts.

Spider-Girl #92: Thumbs up? This book is fun. The art isn't. It's a simple story, and it's nice having a book that has everything you need to know in narrative boxes (what happened to those? I miss em). This issue makes me happy to read the next issue without making me feel like I need to read the previous 91. Which is praise indeed these days.

X-Men: Colossus: Bloodlines #3 (of 5): Thumbs down. It's an interesting story, and this issue gives the background and basis for the premise of the entire series. But it's a silly premise that stretches credibility too far. My favorite part/least favorite part is when Rasputin sings "I am the Walrus" by the Beatles. It was a definate wtf??? moment.

Solo #7: Thumbs up to Mike Allred! This was just a cool book. You smile reading it. Do it. Read it and see. If you don't smile, ummm... well then you're a freak. Super freak. You're super freaky now.

More more give me more!!! You're alright with me.
