Friday Vol 2: On A Cold Winters Night

——————————————————————————

Friday Vol 2: On A Cold Winters Night - great Book 2 to this mystery!  And the ending cliffhanger brings things back to the beginning.  Now I want to go back through the first book and see all the clues I missed!  The big answers will come next volume. I just don’t know how long we have to wait! It’s killing me!

  Issue 232

This is our next up issue (although Jimmy has read ahead!).  Feel free to pop in and join us if you'd like.  We are having a blast re-living the Legion days of old!

About 3 or 4 weeks ago Jimmy, Perry, and I got to talking about the classic Legion of Super-Heroes books and we soon realized that not only had Jimmy not read some of the great early stuff from the 70's and 80's but that both Perry and I had spotty memories as to some of the adventures.

Before we knew it, the challenged had been dropped and we decided to start reading through them at the same time so we could talk about a lot of the things that made it great....and to see if it holds up to the test of time.

So we pulled up our DC Infinite Ultra apps and, while not all issues are there, began reading what they do have.

Here is what we have read so far:

 Issue 200 - The Wedding of Bouncing Boy and Duo Damsel

 Issue 222 - Tyroc centric tale of deception.

 Issue 223 - The Time Trapper!

 Issue 224 - The villain Stargrave - Brainiac 5's Father?

 Issue 225 - Superboy vs new Legion leader Wildfire!

 Issue 226 - First appearance of Dawnstar!

 Issue 227 - The truth about Stargrave!

 Issue 228 - Classic Death of a Legionnaire!
Chemical King

 Issue 229 - Avenging the Legionnaire's death!

 Issue 230 - Possibly worst villain Levitz ever created.  Angry

 Issue 231 - Great Fatal Five story!

 All New Collector's Edition #55 - The Tabloid sized comic showcasing the wedding of Lightning Lad and Saturn girl!  I have a copy of this 10 inch x 14 inch comic somewhere around the house.  Was my favorite back when I was a kid because it looked so huge!

Friday Vol 2: On A Cold Winters Night - halfway done

——————————————————————————

The Penguin 7 - Interesting continuation of the origin story.  Unlike Perry, I wasn't a fan of how the artist portrayed Cobblepot in this issue.  Just him though.  The rest of the book looked good.

Green Lantern War Journal 1-6 - All right, I bought in to what Jimmy and Perry were selling here.  This was pretty good.  Still not a fan of the Revenant Queen and the story is dragging out too long, BUT overall I'm really getting into it.  I'm expecting some fantastic battles coming up and the art is pretty amazing for the most part.

X-Men - Maybe I'm just in a mood. Didn't 'not' like this, but didn't like it either.

Penguin - Not only a banger of a well written issue, I think I am now going to add that recent Riddler Year One 6 issue mini that was written by Paul Dano (The Riddler in the recent The Batman movie) as I love the artist showcased from the last two issues of this Penguin series and he drew that Riddler mini as well. Steven Subic's style, as dark as it is, fits so damn perfectly here. Here being Gotham. Here being the dark city.
Oh, and Bat looks pretty damn cool too.
 Wink

All this and I was feeling sentimental about not "feeling" the Flash so I added a couple older Marvel reads to, hopefully, get me some good classic character feels.

Of course there is no way I am getting all this done by Monday, but I rarely do anyway

Green Arrow #10 - really enjoy this issue. Very little Waller and alot of supporting cast!

X-Force #50 - not the wrap up I was hoping for but still gave closure. Love seeing Wonder Man/Simon in these last couple of issues.

Gods - Having fun and this is beginning to touch more on what I came for; Cosmic Marvel

Flash - Enjoying the writing, but just can't seem to care about the character. Good sci-fi story, but I may go "collected"

Ghostlore - Wanted to read a good horror comic and saw this was written by Cullen Bunn. Meh. I may try it again later with the 4 issue trade that just dropped, but it will depend on my other options at the time

The Displaced - Ed Brisson makes people disappear (in a somewhat interesting manner). A decent start. Another trade wait though as it didn't blow me over.

Green Arrow #10... anyone else getting sick and tired of Waller?


Yes!  But I liked her ok in issue 9. Interested in seeing where this goes.

Friday Vol 2: On A Cold Winters Night - halfway done

——————————————————————————

Green Arrow 9 - Good start to a new arc.  Waller was actually interesting here. Liked seeing Peacemaker as part of this arc too.

Jay Garrick: The Flash 5 - is it just me or was the art exceptionally bad in this issue? I really like these characters so I wish this issue was better.

The Flash 6 - Okay! Now this is getting more interesting!  More weirdness from Spurrier that brings everything together…sort of!
