Whoops; repost!!  Already hitting my Unlimited ReadingAmazing Spider-man 24- Epilogue part 1 of the ho hum Clone Conspiracy. *ho hum* Spider-woman 16 A Deux Ex Machina to finish the fight only barely irks me. As much as I really love the run of this Jessica under Hopeless' writing, her and Roger would fully get their @ss kicked by the original Hobgoblin. Hell, Peter had his butt handed to him more often than not by Hobby. Captain America: Steve Rogers 12 Uncanny Avengers 20 Infamous Iron Man 5 I v X 5 (honestly, at this point, I don't even know why  ) Thanos 4 (because, THANOS!!!) Hulk 3 (okay, I'd like this issue pick up juuuuust a bit more please!! *** Oh yeah, forgot to mention in my prior post I also reread Infinity War, and Infinity Crusade. Each one got a bit ...poorer the further away it was from 'Gauntlet.' But man, Crusade...that was damned poor. I was glad to see that many YEARS later, Starlin returned to better form with Infinity Abyss and the original Thanos series that followed. |

The Dying and the Dead is a nice surprise. Although it shouldn't be a surprise considering it's Hickman. Good book and I'm getting sucked in.
Detective 950-956 was not as interesting an arc as previous ones. Still in to find out what happened to Tim. Hopefully this was just a slower story and not the norm.

This week is going waaay tooo fast -  World Reader #5 - What I thought was the last issue, but seems there is one more to go. Letter 44 #1 - Pushing the art aside, which for some reason I just don't take to, this was pretty good. I like that it took its time, didn't rush the story and let it flow. That means not much happened, but that is fine. I enjoy books that are paced properly and as long as the dialog and structure are strong, I am okay. This is the case here. My only complaint, other than the art, is the name of the President. It just doesn't sound ... right. President Blades? Must be a friend of Soule's? Maybe? But hey, that is not a big deal, at all, it just sounds more like a sports star than a president. Anyway, I have 3 more issues, and then I am off to the LCS for treasure hunt mode. Although with the amount of reading I am getting done lately that will be a year from now.  |

World Reader #5
Letter 44 #1
The Wildstorm #3
The Wildstorm #4
The Wildstorm #5
The Wildstorm #6 - This is just another title that proves we are reading this books in the wrong manner. Much like all of Europe and most British writers (especially Moore), I am a huge proponent of putting comics in the collected format first. get about 125 to 140 pages of comic greatness, bind them together, put them in book stores and wipe Diamond off the face of the Earth. Most comics just read soooo much better when you can read them in large chunks,
I read issue #1 of this and it was okay
I read issue #2 of this, a month later, and it was also just okay
I just read 4 issues in a row and this book just explodes for me. The story comes to life so much better in larger chunks. Heck, While I am eager to read issue $6, I think I will just wait and read this when another 5 issues are out again.

A couple more and a comment or two World Reader #5 The Normals #1 - Another Aftershock comic and another I am going to read more about Letter 44 #1
Letter 44 #2 - So I got another issue of 44 in. Thanks Jeff. Thanks for "pushing this" on me. The art is becoming ... less distracting (I guess) and while the story is moving along pretty slowly, I am loving it as it is the perfect pace for this story. It is like a Bendis book with more "driving the story" information (Not to scare Jimmy off ). What I mean is while, so far, it takes me a long time to read each issue as there is so much text to read, that text, that time is vital for this story. And it isn't really THAT much text. It is loaded, but not like some Claremont stuff. No, Soule does a great job here in covering most of everything that "we" would need to think about. Soule is marinating the meat while the grill gets hot, getting that flavor right, not just throwing the steak on fire. Think about how slow the movie Alien was during the first act. It was perfectly slow. And while I am not saying this is as good as that example, this title is pretty darn good as well, so far. So yeah, thanks. The Wildstorm #3

The payoff really hits around issue 22-27 (Vol 4 in Trade). The stuff before is still good but I think if you stay with it you will enjoy. Oh geez - I hope I'm not buidling it up too much and causing it to fall flat for you.  |
