Adventure Comics #0
This one was a take on the old Adventure Comics from the 60s. The art style and storytelling were very similar and it was a fun read. The reason I picked this up was for the “Origins and Omens” storyline that it kicked off in a side story at the end of the issue. Looks like Lex Luthor and Brainiac are going to be playing major parts in the Blackest Night (amusing since both are Superman villains).
Deadpool #7
Looks like we’re wrapping up storyline from Secret Invasion and moving into Dark Reign. The comic is just as fun as ever, with a hint of actual storyline popping up. I can see in the future Deadpool being a major player in the next few months even though no one else in the Marvel universe will know it. On a side note, why is someone who has a healing power and pretty much can’t die so afraid of being shot?
Ender’s Titles
Normally I’d do an individual analysis, but with five titles here it was kinda tough. While I have not read the books, the comic story is very intriguing. The problem I’ve seen with comic adaptations of books is that they did what movies did for years, try to cram hours of content into two and a half hours of story. Thanks be to Marvel (you’ll probably never see that again) for realizing that these books need gigantic arcs to be told properly. Anyone who is a basic fan of sci-fi should pick up the Ender’s titles or even possibly the book its based of “Ender’s Game.”
House of Mystery #10
The House of Mystery at the moment for me is in a weird state. I read #9 and #10 but didn’t feel I got a good part of the story. Unfortunately #9 is part 4 of 5 in a story arc and #10 is the finale. While the story was decent, missing 3/5 of it really killed it. I’ll be buying the next storyarc to determine if the comic is worth keeping up on.
