Bought/Thought for 8.11.10: Scott Pilgrim Buzz Edition




THOR: THE MIGHTY AVENGER #3 - this is everything that is great about superhero comics. I loved Chris's Ant Man/ Giant Man redesign on the helmet. And it thrills me to see everything that he and Roger Langridge have in store for their own ideal Marvel Universe now that the Oym's have stopped by and Stark has been mentioned.

ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDER-MAN #13 - I mentioned to ajermaine that the cover did nothing for me, but the twist on the classic Spidey villain got me, the death was truly shocking and the last page was inspiring.

ZATANNA #4 - really disappointed that I didn't see Stephane Roux's artwork on this one (and I mean no offense to Chad Harden there). Inconsistency of the main creative team was what drove me away from GOTHAM CITY SIRENS and STREETS OF GOTHAM, so I hate to see those same doubts creeping into my head after just 4 issues on a book with one of my favorite DC characters.

X-MEN #2 - dang, man, do I REALLY like vampires?

INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #29 - still not really digging the Hammer side of the story, but the scene where Pepper and Tony literally lit up the room made it all worth while.

DAYTRIPPER #9 - I lost a breath at the end of this issue, holding nothing in as I flipped to the front just to make sure it really wasn't the last issue of the series. There it was: 9 of 10. But that's how tight this thing was. I took the gasp they recommend in the last line and I was too afraid to let it out.

X-FORCE: SEX AND VIOLENCE #2 - lots of fun as a concept, and at the same time it's everyone that's wrong with comics that aren't written to be accessible by people of all ages. I've read a lot of Marvel Max titles that were more tame than this one.

STEVE ROGERS SUPER SOLDIER #2 - Dale Eaglesham is drawing some crazy small hands on Steve Rogers's crazy big arms. I'm still enjoying this one just as much as I am Captain America.

THANOS IMPERATIVE#3 - the content felt very much like the fourth issue of a sixth issue mini, but otherwise it remains a solid book.

BUZZARD #3 - not a bad quick mini, but I don't think I'm gonna follow Billy the Kid into his own book.

BPRD HELL ON EARTH NEW WORLD #1 - is Abe a bigger jerk to his friends than Hellboy ever was? More than any plot points, I was really surprised that they rebooted the ongoing numbering on BPRD that no one paid much attention to anyway.

STRANGE SCIENCE FANTASY #2 - better than #1.
