Comics!
Thursday, March 2
I don't think I can call these posts "Comic Book Run" anymore, cause it's more like "comic book stop on the way home from work" now. But that doesn't look very good as a title. Not catchy enough for my tastes. I'll take suggestions if anybody has any.
Look! Comic books! First off, Uncanny X-Men, which isn't too thrilling but I'm reading it anyway. I don't know why I'm dipping into the Marvel Universe anyway, lord knows DC is going to be taking all my money this year anyway.
Infinite Crisis is heating up. Only two more issues left, I hope they don't fuck things up. Batman Annual explained Jason Todd's return to the land of the living... finally. I liked it, it was justified, actually having him be alive a year before the Jim Lee "Hush" run on Batman. So it wasn't just like, "Oh, and here's Jason Todd, he's not really dead after all!"
Everything else DC is now a Year Later. JSA was boring and dull. Sad. I'm a big Aquaman fan, and I'm not sure where this is going now that they've shaken up the staus quo, but I'm not digging it. It's almost like when this volume started off with Aquaman getting a magical water hand. That was a horrible year, but I stuck with it. I hope this story arc gets better. Fast.
Last we have Outsiders which the first half of the issue was totally different from anything previous in this title. It almost had no heroes in it whatsoever. This too was a "OYL" story, so a lot has yet to be revealed. The only interesting part was it turns out a Flash villain, Captain Boomerang, is now on the team. Curious.
