Best Comic
This week was better than average, but didn't excell. It was kind of a B+ week.
Here's what I got:
Annihilation #6: A good ending to this series. The calvary comes rushing in, the undefeatable foe is defeated and most of the characters live to see the end. Some weirdness happens when Ultron assembles himself out of a fleet of Kree robots, and I think that Warlock called Tyro his "son" (which isn't true), but all in all a non-disappointing ending.
Avengers: The Initiative #11: Endings must be the theme this week, as the initiative ends its battle with KIA. Decent action, but way too many characters getting thrown around for any decent story to be done.
Brave and the Bold #12: Ending the Challengers of the Unknown and the book of Destiny run, this finale was underwhelming. The main villain they have been chasing for 6+ comics turns out to be as shallow as that thin coat of water you get from wiping down a granite countertop with a wet rag.
Countdown #2: Spoiler alert. Orion supposedly kills Darkseid in this issue. I can't see DC wanting to get rid of a villain they get so much mileage out of, so I'm thinking he'll be back in some form or another. It was interesting to see the art get more "Kirby-esque" as the battle between Orion and Darkseid raged.
Incredible Hercules #116: A decent issue which serves as a fun battle with the Eternals and the introduction of the Skrull menace into the book. This Hercules is a lot more introspective and a lot less drunk than previous incarnations. I think it's an interesting change, and one I'm interested in reading more about, even though I have a lot more fun with the swaggering, egocentric, womanizing drunkard Hercules trying to bestow "The Gift!" upon everyone he meets.
Noble Causes #32: A reboot for the Noble Family. Not as interesting as the previous book, as the tensions that book started out with have been mostly resolved.
Number of the Beast #1: I read a good review of this last week and decided to pick it up. Its not a half-bad team book. The characters are pretty interesting and I think I'll get the next issue.
Wolverine Origins #24: A talky issue where Deadpool and Wolverine verbally joust as Deadpool is about to drop Wolverine into a deathtrap. Meh.
There are several books kinda tied for first place here, but if I have to choose a winner, it's gotta be the Annihilation finale. Woot Annihilation!
