07/15/09 comic notes

| July 15, 2009

Uncanny X-Men 513: This Utopia thing is DUMB.  Emma and Scott “breaking up” or whatever is dumb.  It makes me suspect they’re bringing  Jean back again (also dumb). Oh Matt Fraction, wherefor art thou and wtf?   At least in only lasts 2 months. By the way, Norman Osborn is also dumb and obnoxious and annoying.  [...]

Power Man & Iron Fist: fathers of biracial children for hire

| June 30, 2009

& other assorted comics chatter: Iron Fist 27: Yes, Danny Rand/Iron Fist will also be a father soon, following in his perennial buddy, Luke Cage/Power Man’s footsteps.  Also of note, and implied by my goofy title, is that the mother of said child (and soon to be wife of Danny) is Misty Knight.  Now.  This [...]

random comic thoughts

| June 15, 2009

Jeff Loeb really annoys me. So there was the fiasco with Red Hulk (let’s call him “BullshitHulk” for short) doing some sort of idiotic shit with gravity in order to “hold” Thor’s hammer.  That was dumb. Then evil murdering Magneto in Ultimate land can somehow just stroll around holding it? OK, maybe his hammer is [...]

re: War of Kings #4 and other comic randomness

| June 3, 2009

Ouch. I actually wasn’t expecting that. It makes sense – no one really cares about her anymore I suppose.  But still. Well played.  Poor Gladiator. What else? Oh, Batman & Robin has lots of potential, in that wild Morrison & Quitely way.  I suspect it will be a great ride, and then collapse into itself [...]

New Mutants #1

| May 8, 2009

Is this volume 3 or volume 4? I forget.  Anyway, they’re back!  Yes, it is true – Marvel seems to be at an all-time high for # of x-books again.  The bloat is so bad I’m actually NOT buying as many as I am buying… I think.  Somewhere in there. Anyway, so, was this any [...]

Greg Land strikes again!

| April 30, 2009

W T F? That’s Lady Deathstrike. With 8 claw penises piercing Wolvy from behind. Uh hu.  It looks like he might be kind of enjoying it though. SERIOUSLY.  Does every face Greg Land traces have to come from porn??? Every single one? And why is she straddling him?  She wouldn’t even have the leverage to [...]

pullbox roundup

| April 19, 2009

Uncanny X-Men 508: OK.  Now that it’s been “confirmed” that the Red Queen is, in fact, NOT actually Madelyn Pryor (just stolen & animated her corpse I guess) I’m more interested.  Maddie was played out.  Her corpse..not so much I guess.  Which means that cover I mentioned could actually be showing the Red Queen in [...]

X-Men: Kingbreaker #4

| March 27, 2009

was some the shit yar. AKA Starjammers v4.3 or so. The thing with Havok and the star guy…CLASSIC. Some major shake-ups, a direct lead in the no-I-won’t-link-it probably return of Jean Grey, good action scenes and another original Starjammer potentially dead (although I suspect he’ll return as some warped hybrid before too long). Ch’od loses [...]

Mighty Avengers 23

| March 26, 2009

Was a step up & in the right direction. I find it surprising that Hank can keep up with Tony’s flight speed, especially at micro-size. Splitting the Young Avengers around (see Wiccan in NA 51) is interesting…curious if that will have any effect on their sporadic series.  I think I heard somewhere that the original [...]

X-Infernus 4: what happens when editors write?

| March 25, 2009

I totally get what he was trying to do here (get Illyana back for New Mutants v3) , but the execution was spotty at very best.  Not worth buying. They let Pixie just fly off into Limbo then just fucking left her there???????  While making a speech to Illyana about not leaving people behind??? MMMMM [...]
