I READ!!!!.....
UnlimitedMiles Morales, Spider-man 2-12: I wanted to get caught up on some more of the other backlog that seemed intimidating. So, I spent a day or two on this. From what I read, this is...boring. Then I started thinking, what makes it boring? I came to my own reasoning that it doesn't have layers or story and plot. What starts on page 1 is how it ends on page 22? Sure, I like moments here and there! OH OH! You know what? It's like watching an episode of Life According to Jim or In the Middle. Now, I'd never watch either show if I had to. When it's on, I've seen it, had a chuckle, but there is just a weakness to both shows that is realized, why neither of them ever approached the heights of Seinfeld or Friends or etc etc. Another title I'm just not going to bother with anymore.
Amazing Spider-man 34 - an ok outing. Not quite sure why or how Doom has a million Doombots in NYC, but okay, whatever. I did like the explanation that even as there are tons of 'from the future' characters running around, those turn out to be alternate realities, as opposed to staying that Miguel is ALWAYS the future of this time. I like that.
Captain America 16 - I think this also falls into a boring territory? It's like having a county fair local bar band playing Enter Sandman as opposed to seeing Metallica play it. Yeah, it sounds the same...kind of...but it doesn't resonate right. This book may be hitting the chopping block too.
Immortal Hulk 27- simply awesome!! Fantastic! But GASP if you went to the letters page, 6 months late, There's a little cartoon of Joe Bennett saying goodbye to his little son with angel wings. oh no!!! I went to look, and it's just known as he told twitter and through comics that he had a young son die. I'm crushed. Also, I had no idea who Joe Bennett *was* as it's just an American pseudonym for an amazing Brazilian artist, who's career I've loved loved LOVED ever since the Clone Saga and some Spider-man Annuals and Web of Spider-man books. I feel crushed for him.
Deadpool 1 - yep, a new #1 . The prior volume ended at issue 15, with Skottie Young as writer, and it was mostly frivolous 'make sure to fill the shelves with a Deadpool comic' kind of book. Now, here's Kelly Thompson coming on as writer...with Chris Bachalo on art duties. SONUVA**********CH!!! I CANNOT STAND, AND HATE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND ANY OF HIS PENCILS. I don't care if he's imaginative if I can't be told a F*****G story from what he illustrates. A tremendous struggle for me.
King Thor 3- Yeah, loving it!! 1 more issue ever of Aaron's Thor work? Oh, I'm sad and heartbroken. A true company line leader in excellence for the company.
Loki 5 - OH, I love me this book. I truly do. I think even sometimes I don't understand what is truly progressing to where due to Loki's deviousness, and also twisted story of himself from recent years, but I feel this is a true gem of a book!
Tony Stark, Iron Man 18 - What a weird book, it just is! I'm excited just to see how duplicitous Arno Stark truly is.
Time to go find me some DC stuff...a year back! LOL Deathstroke, Green Lantern, Justice League, Aquaman, ...
