Read a few last night and then had to get up this morning and finish the Cap issue I literally passed out reading last night. I mean tablet falling on my face and all
MU time!!
Morbius: Bond of Blood #1 - Ugh, not only was there an art issue with how drastically costume damage happened to our main character (literally goes from having a perfectly fine costume to then being thrown against a wall and having about 498 holes and rips in his get-up?? No. NO, NO, NO!!), story wise this wasn't anything special either.
Eternals #2 - Okay, let me get this out there now ... I am 99.999% sure I will be the only one here that enjoys this run. Jimmy has never cared for the Eternals, and while I'm not sure about the rest (IE, Jeff, Rodney, etc...) I can see the Hickman'esque nature of the production and the over-all pacing of this series is just going to fall flat for most everyone. I really enjoy it, but I think I will be alone
Taskmaster #3 - Now this one? This one is for everybody!!! Man I've been waiting for this issue. Perhaps a little too much as it wasn't as powerfully fun as the first two, but ya know, I still enjoyed the heck out of it! Looking forward to next week's Modok now as well ... these two are true surprise hits for me!
Captain America #158 (1973) - We open on the same rooftop from last issue's battle just in time to see the Viper escaping, and Cap and Falcon near death from the poison his claws injected. While The Falcon nears death, Cap struggles to reach the antidote dropped by the Viper, even as he is nearing his own untimely end. Cap luckily is able to reach the bottle, chug some life saving fluid down his throat and hurries to the aid of Sam to do the same. and then not much happens.
No wait, a lot more happens.
Cap visits a retired police Sergeant who thinks a certain patrolman that was under his command (A certain Steve Rogers ... who yes, has been a cop during this time) is the evil doer; The Cowled Commander, so Cap tries to calm him down into not doing anything rash.
Steve battles some street hoodlums and returns to his apartment to find cops have searched through his stuff and his Landlord thinks that means Steve is a bad guy so tries to blackmail him.
Falcon scraps with the head of the local street mob to get info on the Viper, find the Viper and beats that ass but while doing so Falcon learns that it isn't just the Viper causing trouble in the name of The Cowled Commander, oh no, but also The Plantman, The Scarecrow, The Eel and The ... hahaha ... The Porcupine!!!
Fantastic Four #131 (1973) - An Inhuman centric issue! Johnny busts into the home of the Inhumans to find his love Crystal being all cozy with Quicksilver!!! A brief battle ensues but unfortunately for the hot head, it is around this time that the slaves of the Inhumans, the Alpha Primitives, have decided they have had enough of being under their 'master's' heels and set their revolt in action and bring forth the super-sized Alpha-Primitive; Omega!!!
