Stuff I'm Reading
Thursday, September 20
Here's a quick rundown of a few comics I'm currently reading that I'm really enjoying right now.
Black Adam: This mini-series is dedicated to a character whom recently killed every living person in a middle eastern country, all to revenge the death of his wife. A guy with Superman like strength, had his powers stripped away, and became the most wanted man on Earth for his crimes. And, you might think he'd have learned a thing or two from his experiences. Nope. Absolute power corupts, as they say... and killing still seems to be his middle name.
Ultimate Power: This is a crossover between two different Marvel Universes, one of the Ultimate line and one that features the Squadron Supreme. Although I don't collect any of the Ultimate line, I do love me some Squadron. And while that title seems to be in limbo right now, I'll take what I can get. The Ultimates are almost the Marvel Universe (616 for those who know), so this is actually a good crossover.
The Walking Dead: For a book that has been know to ship a week or two late ocassionally, it's surprising to have three issues in two months time. So this book quickly passed through the setup/build up to lead to one massive cliffhanger.

What does the future hold for Black Adam?

I won't spoil it directly, but another Universe's team get's thrown into the mix. This totally changes how this story is going to pay off, the rules have changed!
The Walking Dead: For a book that has been know to ship a week or two late ocassionally, it's surprising to have three issues in two months time. So this book quickly passed through the setup/build up to lead to one massive cliffhanger.Everything is practically hanging on a "what's gonna happen next" moment!!! The writer has already made his hints that a major player could bite (heh.. zombie book) the dust and that no one is safe. I don't want any of them to die!
