Best Comic
Here's what I got this week:
Avengers Fairy Tales #2: The Vision as Pinocchio. Sadly, these tales are still not living up to the X-Men series last year. The point of these books should reveal the iconic nature of the superhero character, by showing how easily they fit into these more mythic stories. However, the real trick is to show sides of those characters we hadn't thought of before, but are now revealed when we think about them in this different light. The problem with this particular book is that nothing new is revealed by this story. The Vision remains the Vision.
Booster Gold #8: This book is a little painful. They bring Ted Kord back, and now they're showing what a bad idea that was. It's page after page of "well, looks like we're just gonna have to kill Ted all over agian so everything can go back to normal! Teaches you to mess with time, Gold!" Hopefully, they won't do that, but they're certainly pushing this message.
Countdown #3: TWO.... MORE... ISSUES! Interesting that they decided to make Superman kinda bloodthirsty. Ok...maybe not.
JSA #14: Interestingly enough, I like the issues where the characters just sit down and talk better than the action issues. It'll be interesting how they fit Gog in with the upcoming crisis, if they do that at all. Nice last panel with Green Lantern and Obsidian.
Nova #12: Warlock Dies! Then, Warlock Lives! Everyone is cured! Hurrah! Some action panels but everything felt a little rushed compared to the glacial pace of the previous couple of "infected" issues.
The Last Defenders #2: Still not getting in to this title. Bring back Gargoyle!
Titans #1: Not too bad. Naked Starfire was a bit much, though.
Wolverine #64: The fight with Mystique carries on. The two Wolverine books are kinda like Dragonball Z episodes. They're several books containing just one endless and kinda boring fight.
What's the best comic this week? Hard to say with the lackluster performance I'm seeing here. Instead, I'll leave you with a link to this cool game you can play for free on the web called Magic Pen.

I haven't gotten to "Titans" yet, but there can never be enough naked Starfire. Just sayin'.
