here we go

Several books to hit first off i will go with the one fresh in my mind Thor issue 620. Before getting into this book, writer Matt Fraction , who was hyped as a glorious savior of the book is underwhelming me and to be frank makes me skeptical of the Fear itself hype. When finally something does happen after the boring build up, it is scattered and senseless , the art which was first redeeming seems to lack similar focus , it's a as much of a mess as the sill intergalactic blood bath pitting Odin and his army of pokemon, who hold no explanation and seem random, i mean really magic can make alot happen particularly when you are a god but this doesn't flow with his character i don't buy it and its a travesty of continuity .
Next up Hulk 30 well the Impossible man is in the mix , the art is great , the story is silly, the two Hulk merging , is back to the kind of kindergarten writing i might expect from a cartoon, think animaniacs more than brave and the bold or young justice, ok is guess dc at least has marvel in the cartoon dept.
Next Avengers, the theme seems to be balance, as this book now lacks it as if Bendis is taking cues from the Matt Fraction school of writing , all the teams are dispatched, Red Hulk kills a sea monster , there is the moment when namor doesn't trust ross to give him the gem and hands it to Thor , which i will give Bendis that one , and it leaves us with the Thor vs the amped up Hood , and i guess the Red hulk will be in the mix as well
ok best of the batch is Greg Pak's Hulk 623 the savage land is the new vampires for marvel , he does need to explain ,how i dinosaur could hurt the hulk ? i'll re read it but are we saying it's because he wasn't healed yet ?
any way the writing aside from that is good but it feel like , when a band is trying to re create a success ful album than making fresh songs, it feels like we are going back to planet Hulk which tells me its time for pak to move on , i know people want him to be the next peter david , and world war hulk , planet hulk was a good run but it ended there is the looks of it, and now we are going back to remember our former glory
