Best Comic
Here's the weekly list!
Atom #24 -- I think I'm going to 25 and then stop. This book is just not doing it for me anymore. It was a lot better when it was a story about a college professor who happened to have a shrinking belt. Now, it's a superhero book about a guy with a shrinking belt who happens to be a professor.
Brit #6 -- Lots of mayhem. Like the art. Story has a lot to be desired, I think. All the ingredients are there, but they aren't mixing well.
Invincible Iron Man #2: Very interesting story with the bad guy being the more interesting character. Need more super-science! Iron Man was the comic when I was a kid that really got me into physics and science, and I'm hankering for more of that now that I got a taste last issue.
JSA #16: Decent. A great plot: a huge, nasty-looking guy with godlike powers who everybody thinks is bad, but may actually be good? I hope it avoids the following plots: 1) god-being starts fixing things in a way that forces people to do something, (i.e. creates society with no freedom of thought as freedom of thought causes misery) forcing the heroes to fight him. 2) god being is actually evil and is pretending to be good. 3) god being is benevolent but admits that he must destroy the planet anyway: no hard feelings? 4) god-being gives out heart's desires, which ends up causing more problems than he could imagine. 5) god-being ends up being incredibly stupid and can be amanipulated by evil forces to cause major damage. Hmmm...I think I just described a majority of Star Trek's plots...
Nova #14: Kind of a muddy issue with an interesting discussion with Silver Surfer.
Rann-Thanagar Holy War #2: BEST COMIC! I was dreading this series, as I thought it would be a boring series of overwrought speeches and pages after pages of huge combat scenes, but really it's just a continuation of the Mystery in Space series, but with more humor. Jim Starlin at his best.
Secret Invasion #3: The worst thing about Secret Invasion is how most of the Marvel Universe is completely ignoring it, leading people like me to realize that the impact of this huge series is minimal, except that maybe Tony Stark will be excused from being such an asshole since he was a skrull the entire time (though, honestly, he may not be...we'll find out sometime later).
Congrats Holy War and keep up the good work Jim Shooter!

Jim Shooter is doing interesting work on Legion of Super-Heroes, but I think you meant Jim Starlin and keeping up the good work.
D'oh! You're right!
