Another big comics week. So what did everyone get? My massive haul... Masked Intentions #1 (Only because it's Nicieza writing the New Warriors  ) Doc Samson #3 (Faerber writes a good Scorpion ) Ms. Marvel #1 Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis #40 Red Sonja Vs. Thulsa Doom #2 Green Lantern Corps: Recharge #5 Books of Doom #4 Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #5 X-Factor #4 Punisher #31 Infinite Crisis #5 Fallen Angel #3 I can't recall the last time I've been hit by a shipment this big. Including every title PAD writes, it seems. Still, lots of good stuff here. |

Infinite Crisis
Adventures of Superman
Batman Annual
Ultimates
Infinite Crisis was great, haven't read Ultimates, I have no idea what the hell was the point of 'This is your life, Superman' and since Batman Annual was written by Winnick, it automatically means it was crap. But I had to know Jason returned so I can complain properly and keep preasing Brubaker for returning a lame sidekick the right way.

Point of "This is Your Life, Superman": Earth-2 Superman lives Post-Crisis Superman's life, Post-Crisis Superman lives Earth-2 Superman's life. Both make changes they feel neccesary (and make editorial comments about it) and their lives go down a darker path anyway. Then they blame the problems on the earth they're on.

I understood that. What I meant is what was the point of that? An exercise in futility? As the path would have spiralled down anyway? What does that say about Superman? that his mission was doomed to fail no matter what path he took?
Joe Kelly's subtext has always been all over the place, and most of the time is pointless. But this story was a new low.
Oh, and since we're still discussing new comics. Ultimates was quite good. Dumb, as it always is, bit entertaining.
And Nextwave is still brilliant.

Hm. I guess the point of it is, both Superman seemed too stubborn to see reason? That what works for one Earth doesn't neccesarily mean it'll work for another? Dunno.
Books I got:
ULTIMATES 2 #10
NEXTWAVE #2
ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #649
Might get others later on.

I also got JSA and Detective Comics. The latter is James Robinson writing Batman. Which should be a crime not buying it.
