Sleeper Book One (Collects POINT BLANK #1-5, SLEEPER #1-12) Vol 1 - Oh yeah.
Yeah man, I remember really enjoying that. My first dippin' of the toes into Brubaker.
Royal City 6 - 10 - Love this story.
I enjoyed the first couple I read, just another series I need to get back to
Avengers 11 - Yeah, I am just not feeling it with this comic. Thor doesn't even sound like Thor and this is Jason Aaron writing him? I've been on the fence for the entire run so I'm not sure why I keep trying to make myself enjoy it. I'm done.
I didn't notice an issue with Aaron's Thor voice, other than the one aspect I hate
which may make Thor sound off in your ears, almost non-Thor ... I can see it for sure. And I totally understand you dropping the title. I can't even begin to read any of the issues drawn by Mcguinnes, I just hate the look in this title. It really affects the story to the point it makes the writing off. It is that obtrusive! I loved the few issues David Marquez(?) drew, the Namor story, as well as issue #13, drawn by Andrea Sorrentino, the Iron Fist from 1,000,000 BC (which was a pretty cool story that you SHOULD check out!!! Really, you should!
So ya, I understand you dropping this, I have mostly although I did somewhat enjoy the last arc with the vampires and Blade, but again, that was David Marquez(?) ... I can't remember how to spell his name
... but I am currently right there with ya, not reading Avengers as Mcguinnes is back (but yes, check out issue #13's standalone issue)
Infinity Wars 6 - Really let down by this series. Glad it's over.
Haha, yeppers! This thing went from being a pretty decent read, at the beginning of Infinity Countdown, to a total mess. Yuk!!
As for me, starting decent enough, but I feel I should have read so much more. Still feeling a tad sick, so maybe that is my excuse? I know I felt tons worse after reading one of the issues below. Left me feeling queasy
Action Comics #1012 - Leviathan arc continues. Good stuff
Batman #73 - Lots of panels, few words. Also, I ... no ... I'll ask in a bit ...
Batman & the Outsiders #2 - Yeah, Jeff got me to try this again and okay, okay, I will try to keep up
Superman- Year One (Black Label) #1 - GARBAGE!!! This is crap in the highest order. I honestly can only think of one book that has turned me away from a creator more than this issue. I have not read a worse written story since Neil Adam's Batman Odyssey. While that was just a crazy written book written by an artist that should never, ever write again, this was by an actual writer whose time I felt had possibly past him by, at least with his last few efforts, but this issue not only just proved that is indeed the case, it also makes me think I (and everyone else in the comics industry) was wrong about him in the first place. Yes, this is so bad that I am questioning if Frank Miller was ever a good writer? Yes, All-Star Batman was bad, and Master Race ... okay, I didn't read that one ... but I heard it wasn't good
... but this takes the cake. The Lana Lang stuff alone is ...
Look, I know it is Black Label, all adult stuff and all, but I will almost bet the house that Jimmy would enjoy reading 30 issues in a row of Bendis Superman title than read this after issue one. Maybe I have that all wrong, but to me, it is that bad.
But okay, I will try this issue again later, maybe, if I see it again I may pick it up and see if maybe, just maybe it was me being sick that made this such a bad comic for me, it is possible I guess (I am having trouble remembering a couple things from the issue). Who knows, maybe I will think it wasn't as bad as I am currently remembering, but I honestly don't see how I could come away thinking this was a good comic.
Also, as far as Batman #73 -
Did I miss/forget something?
Also also
I mentioned the fact that Mcguinnes is killing my Avengers reading, well I haven't been able to enjoy Aaron's stuff in Thor either as DelMundo is just not a fit for Thor. Two titles that have two artist, that I do like, but are on two titles they should never be on. It is killing me.
End rant.
