The Week in Comics for 9/30/09…

This was a slow week in the world of comics... BUY ‘EM… WOLVERINE: WEAPON X #5 - It took a little too long for this series to “ramp up” to speed. Sure there was action and Wolvie calling people “bub,” but it just felt forced. Once the fourth issue hit the stands, everything clicked. Someone has leaked the Weapon X files to a corporate source that has used them to create a group of knockoff Wolverines to hire out as security and plans on getting a U.S. government contract to supply them wit...

Comic Reviews For The Week of 9/23

MAKE SURE THESE ARE ON YOUR PULL LIST… HALO: HELLJUMPER #3 - I wish the last two HALO limited series had been this good. Peter David is writing a great story that not only has you guessing what the Convenat are up to, but the interactions between the ODSTs make me long for a decent G.I. Joe comic. Eric Nguyen’s art is good, but would be really great if he drew some backgrounds. If you’ve already bought the new HALO: ODST game or looking for something to tide you over, check this series out. ...

Weekly Comics Review for August 26

Lot’s o’ Marvel this week. Can somebody explain why they can’t manage their output?!? Anyway… on to this week’s picks… BUY ‘EM! DARK AVENGERS #8 - I just want to go on the record as being right about this one. As Utopia draws to a close, we see Osborn’s Cabal start to fall apart. Marvel really hyped the X-23 vs. Daken fight in this issue, but it doesn’t even get to that point. X-Force was sent in to rescue all of the mutants being held and experimented on, not pick a fight. While this is g...
