Best Comic

Well, I'm more on time this week. That's good.

Here's what I got this week:

All-Star Superman #9
Avengers Initiative #7
Black Adam #4
Booster Gold #4
Brit #3
Captain Mar-vell #1
Countdown #24
JLA Classified #46
Nova # 8

It was a decent week. I managed to not buy a couple of comics, like Salvation Run #1, and that made me feel a disciplined and stuff. I am not an impulse buyer! I am a free man!

Countdown once again was better than usual, with lots of Superman Prime action as he destroys the world that the Search for Ray Palmer group just visited. You know, the one where the superheroes won? Yeah, the one that was pretty nice.

Nope: no drama in being nice. Superman took them all out. And then blew up the world. Take that, boring world!

Otherwise, Countdown had lots more action. Stuff is happening. Plots are unfolding. It still isn't the best comic out there, but it's improving.

Captain Marvel was fairly decent. He knows that, sometime in his future, he gets cancer and dies. He doesn't like that much, so he's wondering if he should just alter time and get fixed, or if his duty is to play his part in the grand scheme of things.I vote he changes time, survives, makes sure the people on Titan don't clone him any kids, and defeats the skrulls before they have time to menace Earth and cause the Civil War and get Captain America killed. Likely, though, he'll set his iron jaw and go to his death like a soldier.

The best comic of the week is All Star Superman. Grant Morrison tears Superman a new one by having kryptonian survivors take Superman's place while he's trying to get back to earth from the last comic. As he talks with them, they berate him, his lack of backbone in actually working hard to make earth a better (and thus more Kryptonian) place. You should see what they say about the fortress of solitude. Then, they die. Well, not really...they almost die and get sent to the phantom zone to be the new law in them parts.

Morrison's All Star Superman is probably the best book out there right now. It might be the best thing he's ever done.

Congrats All Star Superman!
