Comics, comics and more comics

Hold on i have really been catching up,So We are going to hit the ground running, first off Hulk 40, the art still blows, the story is so-so, i have lost my steam on this Omegax guy, the book is filled with fighting so that alone isn't half bad, Fortean is growing on me , the Ross Hulk, is what he is, hopefully the next issue gets on course because the writing is really ambitious , it's not a dull read just didn't connect with me.
Hulk vs Dracula...a Fear it's Self title, Hulk gets knocked to Romania, i guess this was due to Thor, the artwork gets the job done, the character introductions are a little heavy handed but over all a good read, will buy the other titles as ...well it's Banner Hulk.
Avengers 16, this is pretty much Captain America's response to Bucky's death, he doesn't waste time in taking the fight to Sin's door with the Howling Hussies backing him up, this should have been in the Cap book , it's not an avenger's story aside from Bendis little , behind the music interviews which have been stale now for some time and her is getting trapped in using that format.
Action Comics 1, this is the first of the Dc 52 i have bought, Swamp Thing and Frankenstein agent of Shade are in my hold book and Aqua-man will wind up there as well, i think Hawk-man is on the list too, anyways, this plays out like a Small ville episode, Grant Morrison is writing , so should be good with it though he did in my opinion drop the ball on the end of the bruce wayne returns series, it's an every man Super-man in jeans and work boots, how long do we have to endure this look is my first question, more than tend issues and i will more than likely drop the book, no secret Super-man is one of my favorite Dc Characters, if you are going to like a character he might as well be the most bad ass, and Super-man if nothing else represents the dawn of Super-heroes into my childhood, Spider-man holds a similar affinity, all the major players, Lex and Lois Lane are present of course, Lex is working for the government to bring Super-man in who is seen in a similar light as Bat-man , this Super-man is fighting against the man , kinda Robin dish, thus the jeans, the book is solid costuming and the back ward glance story line aside , i guess this different look at the SUper-man story is not unlike the Bat-man through time arch in Wayne returns.
Other dc 52's i read in store , the best of the bunch the interesting take on Suicide Squad, Bat-man and robin was ok not awesome, demon knight's felt like a comic strip from the back of a dungeons and dragons manual, though it had great artwork. Also read the fear itself New Avengers featuring Dare Devil, i have made my thoughts pretty clear on the fact if he were going to be on a team it should be heroes for hire , neither he nore luke cage, ben grimm, wolverine, or spider-man are avengers, if you want avengers , bring back, Vision, or even Star-fox for that matter .
