Justice League - Still not sucked into this yet. And I so want to be. Has Snyder lost his magic?
Oh I hope not. I know I wasn't pulled into issue #1, at all, but I was hoping that it was due to me being still disappointed in the four issue No Justice mini that was ... not great. I still haven't read issues two through four yet, but you are not giving me goosebumps about sitting down with the issues, that's for sure.
But the fact I have yet to read much of Justice League just goes to further prove how much of a mood I have been in recently I guess. Just getting more and more feeling of blandness when I think of current comics. I still read them, I still enjoy them, but there is a part of me that is really wanting to just stop reading current comics for about a month or so, just read back issues of stuff I have wanted to read or catch up on others.
I say that but hen the next weeks "reads" will be nothing but new stuff.
Anywho, what I have read so far -
Die!Die!Die! #1 - After Jeff got me going on Oblivion Song., I decided to go ahead and try Kirkman's other new title. Very much a Ennis or Ellis type book. Intrigued at least.
Justice League Dark #1 - Pretty good start.
Hal & the GLC #49 - Only one more issue to go? Still, love this arc
Green Lanterns #49
Green Lanterns #50 - Dan Jurgens comes on as writer so I decided to give him a shot. An okay start I think.
Legion of Super Heroes #14 - Hahaha, so the Legion is having a membership drive and they are not letting people that they know in, but they will vote in a character that just appeared two panels prior? A character that is inside a small ship? One that they can't see into? Okay, sure, welcome to the Legion Quislet. Even though we never met, even though you have never been seen, you did help us out a little bit about two hours ago so .... Yeah, come on it!!! We just voted to let Polar Boy in and another woman we never met, who wears a mask, so you know we are CRAAAAZY right now.
Action #1001 - The story I am ready to express will contain spoilers in tone for this issue, so skip this if you want to read the issue first.
A long time ago (when I was about 10 or 11) I jumped on Byrne's Superman ... it wasn't long before I jumped off (Just not a Superman fan) ... however about a year after I dropped Superman, I walked into the LCS and there saw a cover belonging to a comic I just had to buy. Yep, there I was buying a Superman title solely because of what I saw on the cover. There was Supes, on his back, on the ground, and standing over top of him was the new character I had never seen, but thought looked so damn cool that I had to try the book. The book was
THIS ONE That book got me back into reading the Superman titles for a time (and going back and finding more of the ones I had missed when I stopped the first time
) and so good or bad, I will always have a spot in my heart for that cover. Well this issue gave me one heck of a similar cool feeling. Not due to the cover, but what goes on inside. Yeppers, what I got from that book back then, is very like the feeling I got with this one, just one was on the outside and one is on the inside. I am excited again. Don't care if I am alone on that feeling or not
