Just read the last two issues of Thor and while, the art was pretty good, it still suffers from some. Tedious story telling especially in the last issue's everything burns prelude, one of the current trends in comics is too much back story this destroys the mystique of the characters being enigmas behind the masks, so prelude is now code for okie me to tears, sure the r end of prequels sell I theater when're we are cashing in on a known commodity . If the writers need to write back story to give them abetter grip on the character that's fine but it doesn't need to be printed.
Enchantress made a new version of the executioner, Donald Blake is a dream head of some kind who is talking to Thor, who in turn fights the executioner monster thing, all the meanwhile we have sulky metal kid drawin sigils and runes at school. Then cut Thore trying to put out afire with snow, it's special angry race of people who made a deal with Surtur, and Loki oh talks about the whole thing lots.
Incredible Hulk # 12 is one of the better issues of the stay angry run, I like the wolverine and thing fight seeing him fight both at the same time and doing well with it means his power levels haven't been dialed back.
But like the other books I find myspe for caring about what is going on becaus I have the pre re boot blues.
In Avengers vs x-men stuff, we got a boring coffee talk with the illuminati which was a waste of some great art and further points the disorganization in this event as the cross over issues aren't lined up with the main book and event the vs title seems to be slow coming if any one even cares about that one now, whos even in the next one a black panther vs storm fight which occurred in the first issue?
Professor x ran off pouting like Sookie stack house because he didn't like the thoughts he was reading, which raises the question can he also smell what the Rock is cooking. This really feels like pro wrestling writing as people are flip flopping from heel to face in the span of a couple of panels. This event had the potential to be great but even at its high points will go down as the worst summer cross over ever and maybe the reboot will write it out of continuity.
Nothing really interesting has been happening in the spider man books and scarlet spider man is no exception even with the Rangers making an appearence so you know your are making a misstep if you can't entertain me with obscure seventies characters. My big hope now for avengers vs xmen is the bring back Mantis or Moon dragon.
D/c well...batman and robin was alright, but I have pretty much reached a point to where I just don't care anymore, the Ben affect directing the justice league movie surfaced this week, and who cares they have missed the boat on building their cinematic verse and now anything will be too little too late , though the green arrow previews I have seen for the tv show look alright.
