Magic Order 4-6 - I had forgotten most everything about this title [...]
I remember reading this back in the day but cant remember what my final thoughts were. I didnt realize a second series was out. Sounds like something I should get.
I would most certainly suggest a reread of the first one. I am not sure if the new volume will be a continuation or a new story but you can't go wrong reading it again. You either get a good story and familiarize yourself with the goings on for the new arc or, if it is a new story, one not connected to the first volume, you get a good story.
Win/win
knocked out a DC reread (good) and a few new Marvel (bad)...

Serial #9 - (edit - added just now. I was trying to wait, still going to try and hold off for a week or so
)
************************************
J.L Dark (JL #59 back up) - Okay, yeah, now I remember
Good setup for a story
Wolverine #15 - Okay, yeah, now I remember
I dove back in as I still have the desire to try and follow the Main Mutant of Marvel. I had forgotten how much I don't enjoy Percy's writing. I just can't do it. Wolverine cut again
Fantastic Four #36 - Flipped open the book (well, clicked the page
) and had a good feeling at first. I just swiped a few pages to preview and the art was pretty good, even... familiar. It looked a little bit like Marvel's "Four". The MK imprint of the Fantastic Four by RAS and Steve McNiven back in the day. Not everything, mainly Susan and her poses and hair, but yeah, some McNiven is here. Some of the art even looked like the old X-Men artist Paul Smith (VH1 please do a "Where Are They Now" on him!). Yes, Johnny looks kinda weird. A little off. Much different looking (and no I don't like it), but hey Ben Grimm has not looked this good in a loooong ass time. Yeah, I dug the art. A McNiven/Smith merger. Cool!
I then went back, started over and read it.
It's a'ight. Nothing grand. There are structure problems, but it is Slott, there is going to be. Meh
Moon Knight #3 - Ugh. I really like the character MK and I know him (all versions of himself
) pretty well. This is not MK. Not sure what is up with it, I like the writer. I think he is doing a banging job on Black Cat, but I think he needs to stay over there. After enjoying the first issue, I now find that this isn't doing it for me. It doesn't help that the art is so damn bad. I love some stylized art. But what I am getting here is an artist trying to do another artists (Bill Sienkiewicz) and not getting there. Yes the sharp angles and slashes are there, but it isn't close to Bill. The shadowing is off, the angles are not right. It does nothing for me.
I'm still going to try and stay on for a few more issues, hoping we get a change of... something, but I am worried this isn't for me. And hey, that's okay. Always next time
