Ok, Countdown is finally over and for me I feel like I want my year
back. DC raised the price of the book and gave us less pay off. At least in 52 we got a punch line, even if it was a giant bug eating the multiverse. Well I think DC realized that the screwed up with Countdown and tried to make amends with Final Crisis. DC has been getting their but kick by Marvel in sales for the past and after reading DC Universe Zero they are not holding back and they are pulling out all the stops. This book gives us a preview of six story arcs that tie in with Final Crisis. I don’t want to give anything away, but the last page of the book gives me hope of a hero’s great return.
I would like to say I am enjoying Teen Titans Year One. It is a six issue mini series that is updating the origin of the original Teen Titans. Maybe I will always be an awkward teenager at heart but reading this book reminds me of when I was in high school with my buddies. The artwork is sort of anime and cartoonish but it fits the books. Besides Robin being depressed that Batman won’t let him go out and play the book is a quick, light hearted read.
Iron Fist where have you gone. Ed Brubaker is a great writer but he keeps writing these six and seven issue story arcs. Does he not remember we read comic books because we have a short
attention span (or at least I do)? The 7 Capital Cities of Heaven storyline took for ever. I liked the over-sized last issued of the story and I like the direction the book is heading in but we need a couple short story arcs so that new readers can hope on and start enjoying the good things that Iron Fist has to offers.
Just a friendly reminder that FREE COMIC BOOK DAY is this Saturday, come celebrate the comic book industry with us and try some new books for free.
