Comic Iceberg Ahead...!
2 Aug 2007 23:13Comic delivery today, which meant that not a lot of creativity was likely to be exercised today...
The Short Version... Marvel's three Annihilation Conquest tie-in mini-series all make their debut in this month's parcel. Wraith is okay - new character, so you have to do more scene-setting than with established characters - Starlord looks like it's going to be fun, but the winner has to be Quasar. I mean, is Moondragon actually becoming... likeable? She's certainly lucky *grins* - and there's a nice twist revealed, reminiscent of 24. The "clock" is ticking...
...okay, maybe the not-so-short version...
...Birds Of Prey #108 - damn, that response to Spy Smasher's "all your operatives are mine" statement, over five pages, was outstanding. I particularly like Barda's "yes, like that's really going to happen" expression. Class.
...World War Hulk #2 - The "Hulk Smash"-age continues, and now he's brought his pals. There are several Avengers who, during this issue, kinda remind you of the guys from Dirty Sanchez - I mean, they must enjoy getting hurt...
...Mighty Avengers #4 - Ares vs the Iron Man suits was pure Nextwave, especially that two-page spread before the final page. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but I'm starting to like the guy. Fabulous art.
Okay, better halt there - got an easy start tomorrow!
