DC ULTRA

I got into a comic reading mood, and got this done!

Batman: The Knight 4-10: I really enjoyed reading this series. Consistent on art throughout, and a good psyche look into young man Bruce. I quite liked it!

Batman 130: What in the hell. That was...damned dumb. I'm insulted that I should believe Batman can do what he did in space. The ending is fine, good, great even! But the beginning is so f'ing stupid I'm aghast the editor said 'DO THAT!! YEAH!'

Joker: Man who stopped laughing: I'm in the mood for this. I love the craziness of this, and I can't tell who is what or anything during this.

Dark Crisis War Zone: Fine enough. Pretty decent, actually, to see some more good behind the action stuff. I did like reading it!

Okay, I better add my books tomorrow.

I just HAD to buy Once and Future #29 for 99 cents off Amazon. It just had NOT come to hoopla, and whatever, it's a dollar. This way I can read 29, and my hoopla #30 (YEAH that's RIGHT, hoopla skipped 29 in my county! WTF!!!)

I did the same thing a few weeks back.  Crazy that Hoopla skipped an issue but like you said, it was just a $1!

X-men 15: Whoa. That's what I gotta say. Wish I coiuld remember the first time I ever saw the Vault.

Issue #5 of the previous X-Men run is the start of the great Hickman story that leads up to this one.  That’s where I first read about them.   However, apparently the Children of the Vault first appeared in X-Men Vol 2 issue #188 by Mike Carey and Chris Bachlo!  I may need to pull that up on MU for a re-read!

THATS RIGHT.

I remember that! The Vault story then was about powered humans, but that they weren't mutants (of a sorts!)

So, I just checked at my comics collection; I quit at 186 (but continued to read my buddy's comics, so that's where I first got to read it!)

I still want to know why they can't just blow the Vault (the location) all to shit and be done with the entire problem? Is there a shield around the place or... I just don't remember?

Going to go ahead and add this one for this week.  Perry will be happy.  Grin

****************************************

BPRD - So the new character came and went and although I don't know if I shall see her again in the next volume, I do know that by the end here of this volume, I'm not sure that I care if I do or not. I liked her, or at least the idea of her, but... meh, she grew stale. Maybe I will care more about her later? No bad characters just bad 5 issue minis and all that maybe?
 Cheesy

Abe Sapien - Dang! the art by Sebastián Fiumara is something to behold at times. It is stylized but not overly so and fits perfect for this title. His twin brother... can't remember his name, also does some good stuff, but Sebastian is really gaining my attention. This has to end with a confrontation though. It has been setting up for awhile. It has to come to a head here in this last omni damn it

Sah-Weet!!!

Catwoman: Lonely City [...]  Absolutely amazing story! 

RIGHT?!?! It was so hard trying to get you guys to read this, without giving too much... I think all I said was it was a BL title set about ten years in the future, but I wanted to say much more, just to get you to read it. I was planning on making a top ten books of 2022 and I was going to have that in there (along with Supergirl and Human Target... I hadn't looked for more, those three just popped in my head) but I failed to do a top ten for 2022. So far
 Grin
Glad you did read it but really glad you enjoyed it.
