Best Comic
Well, this is the week I've been waiting for, apparently, because the quality meter shot way up!
Here's the list:
All-Star Superman #10: Another awesome comic in a series of awesome comics. Superman becomes more human and real with each issue of this series. It's pretty spectacular.
Blue Beetle #25: Blue Beetle delivers a great climactic battle with the Reach and makes them look like chumps. Amazing how Rogers can take 2 panels away from the action and take a microscopic look at some very powerful emotions before zooming back to action. My only complaint is that they bring back the Justice League International characters (Guy, Booster, Ice and Fire) which kinda distracts from the core plot. I'd rather the reunion wait for a comic less climactic to do this.
Countdown #5: The journal writing goes on as we see how the great disaster unfolds and kills off the earth, creating the last boy on earth, Kommandi! Meh. Still, some good storytelling that now seems totally off-topic.
Countdown to Adventure #8: Wrapping up the adventures of Animal Man, Adam Strange and Starfire, as well as the Forerunner story. Decent enough. I wonder if Forerunner will go off and mother a race of SUVs?
Green Lantern #29: Finally, a good issue of Green Lantern! The story delves back into Hal's childhood and his relationships with his family. It's nice to get away from the whole "every color of the rainbow" lantern corps for a minute and get some character development going.
JLA Classified #36: A standard Wildcat issue. Writers seem to love Wildcat.
The Mighty Avengers #11: Dr. Doom gets his iron butt handed to him by the Avengers in a very satisfactory way. Suspicion is cast upon Spiderwoman as a Skrull plant. I think Bendis is putting in waaaayyy too many thought bubbles.
The New Avengers #39: More Skrullnanigans here. It's interesting that the Skrull heroes are somewhat sympathetic. Maybe this secret war will be better than the Beyonder ones.
Wolverine First Class #1: Better than I expected, a tale of Wolverine and Kitty Pride's first adventure. However, I think I will mention here how weird it is that Marvel loves sticking Wolverine with a daughter-figure every chance they get. It's almost creepy.
XMEN First Class #10: A decent issue about cyclops. Unfortunately, the humor that is usually present in this title is contained only in the first couple pages, and it doesn't really show itself much there, either.
So, the best comic? I'll go Blue Beetle, but only because it has inertia from the issue before it. Hooray comic industry for making my day a good one!
