Quick little update, things is busy.

LAST WEEK'S BUY REVIEWS:

Swamp Thing: Great!
Animal Man: Animalmantastic!
Detective Comics: Continuing disappointment, probably last issue I'll pick up.
Action Comics: Holding off a few more issues, then reading in a bunch.
Dial H: WONDERFUL.
Earth 2: Well enough written, but blows conceptually.
Before Minutemen: Darwyn Cooke was the guy for the job. A morally bankrupt project on the part of DC, but a good story from a good author.
Secret: Not as in love as I am with Manhatten Projects, but fun nonetheless.

Also bought:

Essex County: A great read. Lemire hasn't really disappointed me yet, The Nobody aside. Sweet Tooth without horror still hits just as accurately.
A Red Mass for Mars: A bit thrown around story wise. Hickman's work tends to be scattered in a manner not dissimilar to Morrison's, and it seems this one wasn't as sturdily put together as something like Transhuman or Pax Romana. Great visuals, some great concepts, but not as good as it could be.

THIS WEEK:

Before Silk Spectre: Good. Really good. I didn't give a bit of a fuck about the character before, seeing her more as a plot device than anything, but Cooke writes a great coming of age story against a superhero backdrop.
Batman: Snyder punches his way into Batman continuity, and I can't wait to see what's next.

The Shade, The Massive, Mind MGMT, and Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E. haven't been read yet, but will be.

Also, HOLY SHIT THE BOYS. I don't follow it in weeklies, as I've come to love the way it works in trade, so this may not be news to anyone else, but Ennis does a great job of beginning the tying of loose ends. Great, heartfelt, and well written action abound.

Saw Prometheus. Gonna see it again. The whole director's cut out is a bit cheap, but I'll give it a look if only because I think it'll be a huge success.

That's right, gonna.

Until next time.
