first of the year

got a little catching up to do as writing in other forms has drawn me away from this page . ok thor creeps along they bring Loki back , it makes sense gods don't stay dead but the recent chaos king arch marvel seems to be using it to clean up their mistakes, killing off character can it really be taken seriously in comics if so can we not keep some one in their grave , just when i thought it was safe to mourn the abomination and doc sampson we get them back as a result of the chaos king doing a darkest night.fora new abomination maybe caused rick jones to mutate and go bad ? but the matter at hand is the recent incredible hulks has been more entertaining than the hulk, red hulk has yet to get a fair shake , parker might have a better chance than loeb, the art work in the book is distractingly bad , maybe heavier ink might be the answer , the art work in the incredible i'm a big fan of , though a bulkier hulk is due ,after all he is the hulk. avengers is now part of mu pull list because a the red hulk is now sort of a member , and of course there's thor , the most recent issue seemed to be filler for the bigger arch with the hood getting a hold of the infinity gems ,the art work continues to be a not to my taste, every one looks rounded off like a lego , the story could go either way .

in other shelf glances and quick perusals , the new dark knight book is off to a good start , the art superior to the story , but alas it was in my i have been reading comics forever speed read, avengers academy and thunderbolts seem to have some promise , where she-hulks is a little juvenile, like the art the story is a scorched earth clean up picking up the last big world war hulks pieces , which in looking back at 2010 looks to go down as the year i tried to forget hulked out heroes existed, though the character as a whole seems to be taken a little more seriously, . in reaching further back i have been reading a few trades to play catch up on titles i neglected , which as most of you know would be most , i read x-men utopia - the x-men's part in dark reign , i liked the dark avengers vs the x-men, we had sentry vs namor which i think would have been a shorter fight on land , where colossus vs venom should have had the russian dominating , daken vs the girls was ..eh , the whole ares thing with gambit was silly as well, and i thought the iron patriot would have done better - though magneto would have made him a mute point
overall entertaining , super man the year one or whatever - was good art - meh story - this whole alternate universe thing is a cop out and that goes for ultimates as well- if you want to give your spin on classic story lines do it the way true grit was a re-make rather than let me in , it can be done in continuity with a tip of the hat, comics have spun variations of the major stories with the major characters thats why the greatness in adding to the myth is such a work of art when it is done right - so lets not take the hollywood route
