Flashpoint #1

May 11, 2011

Great issue that hooked me instantly and never let go. After one issue, I want, no, need to know more about this world and these characters and am already picking out various tieins I want to try out simply because of how engaging and interesting this world and story is so far.

Green Lantern (2005) #65

Apr 21, 2011

Fantastic issue that made me actually want to read more about Hal Jordan out of costume for the first time ever and an ending that has me absolutely chomping at the bit to read more of this storyline and see where Johns and the rest of the Green Lantern team take this story from here.

Green Lantern Corps (2006) #59

Apr 21, 2011

War of the Green Lanterns started a little slow, but has really kicked it up a notch with these last few chapters of the story.

Avengers Academy #13

May 7, 2011

Everything was quite accessible and it was an fun and entertaining done in one story that has me contemplating picking up the next issue. If you've got a few extra dollars in the budget this week, consider picking this issue up.

Fear Itself #2

May 7, 2011

Very underwhelming issue that felt incredibly short and ends abruptly. Aside from people getting hammers to join the Worthy, of which we learn very little about despite their being the focus of the issue, not much happens here and it still reads very quickly. Little action, plot or character driven story here either. Almost feels like filler two issues in.

Moon Knight (2011) #1

May 7, 2011

First issue has a lot of promise, but fell a little flat with a predictable ending everyone saw coming and the unnecessary amount of time spent building up to said ending. Otherwise, a promising start to the new series with a capable creative team. Should be interesting to see where they go from here.

X-Men: Prelude to Schism #1

May 7, 2011

This was a very nice character driven story exploring their relationship. In that context, I quite enjoyed it and was pleased with the issue. However, it is difficult to ignore the complete lack of anything Schism related in a book marketed and labelled as a prelude to that event. The vague generalizations at the start do not a prelude make. Check it if you are interested in some exploration of the XavierCyclops relationship; Avoid It if you want an actual prelude to Schism.
