Wolverine #66

The old man Logan story starts here. The villains had finally beaten the heroes. With some dead and some in exile the universe had became a changed place. None can officially confirm what happened to the man known as Wolverine other than that he had disappeared. 50 years latter we see Logan now settled down with 2 kids and a wife. That wasn't the only change for Logan his attitude was the biggest no longer the enraged Wolverine but now he is now more of a pacifist. But life isn't easy still for Logan. Facing with not coming up with his"rent" money in this new world Logan encounters the Hulk gang ( Bruce "The Hulk" Banner's grandchildren). Who is trying to collect on Logan's debt for his rent. The Hulk gang Beats Logan down and tells him he owes double next month. Hawkeye (now Blind) comes to tend to Logan's wounds. This is when Hawkeye tells Logan that he has a job for him. He needs a package to be delivered across country and he needs Logan to be the navigator. The job would pay 500.00 if Logan took it. Logan understanding that it's a lot of money accepts the job and heads out with Hawkeye to now changed world......

I really enjoyed this issue. My only concerns with it right now are that it's an 8 issue story i just hope that they don't get too caught up in a back story that it takes away from the actually story. Or that the story doesn't begin to get redundant after a while. I think that this would have been great for it's own mini series but not a part of the Wolverine title. But over all it's a great issue the art is amazing and the story is a very interesting one that should get you hooked. So go out and grab this one.

Birds Of Prey #119

The move to Platinum Flats isn't really working out well for the Huntress. After saving two police officers and a group of bystanders from the armored villain known as Carface she doesn't quite receive the heroes welcome from the public. While the same can't be said for Lady Blackhawk who seems to let a lot more roll off her back then Huntress. Misfit who is still trying to make sense of what Black Alice told her reluctantly tells Oracle. When Oracle tells her that she can find out if the information is true Misfit doesn't really want to know the answer. While Oracle's motives for moving their base of operations is kept to her self she turns to her "informant" the Calculator ( a former adversary) on more information on the going ons in Platinum Flats. Came to the Oracle after he walked in a a group trying to grab some hi-tech gadgets from a recently apprehended Villain. he was their with the same intentions as the group but now he found him self on the run for his life and that's when he contacted Oracle.With his information the crime in platinum flats as well as his mishap and the erasing of Manhunters mind are all connected. While on surveillance duty Manhunter Runs into a former birds of Prey the Black Canary. when Black Canary ask her why she is waiting her family from the shadows Manhunter offers no explanation but a fight. A fight that both are eager to take.

Skaar son of Hulk #1

Skaar son of Hulk is here. This issue was a nice introduction for Skaar and a nice follow up to anyone who read the Planet and WW Hulk stories. How ever if you hadn't read them you will be caught up in the action and given the back story. As it goes for this issue it was a very fast read not really too much dialog going on in the story but this is the case of pictures speaking louder than words. From my point of view Skarr with some of his actions seems a bit more savage then the Hulk. This series looks like it's going to take off in a great direction. Keep checking back for future in depth reviews on this title.

Incredible Hulk

Marvel Studios strikes gold with the Incredible Hulk movie. After the Iron Man movie I my self thought that Marvel would have to pull off and incredible( no pun intended) feat to have a double hitter and they did. The Hulk movie offered so much character advancement as well as the room to add more characters into their movie universe. Plus all the connections it made with the Iron Man movie was great to keeping the Marvel movie universe together. The portrayal of the characters were a+. Norton was great as Banner/Hulk, and William Hurt was a real Ba$%!@d as General Ross. I would go into detail but i really don't want to ruin the movie for the people who haven't seen it yet. There is plenty of stuff for fans of the comics, fans of the old TV series as well as a whole new generation of fans. My hat goes off to marvel for another big hit and as well to the continued success of the upcoming Marvel movies.

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR GO OUT AND SEE THIS MOVIE.

X-Force : I ain't no dog One Shot

This one shot story covers two stories one of Wolverine and the other of James Proudstar. the first story is about wolverine on a recon mission to bring back a Chip in planted in some guys head that shows up on Cerebro as a new mutant. Wolverine tracks down the guy and has some Logan style fun with him until some Purifiers show up and Wolverine tears through them like sheets of tissue paper. After that he removes the implant in the guys head.
The second story covers James Proudstar tracking down a bear that killed a stray dog that he took in. While Warpath is tracking down the bear his mind battles with the fact of how can he live himself after all the killing he's done on X-Force. He meets up with the bear and notices the bear is caught in some barbed wire instead of killing the bear he frees it from it's plight and then begins to realize that one day he won't have to kill again and hopefully that one day will come but he never wants to forget the killings that he has done.

The two stories were what you could expect from a one shot comic. I really enjoyed the Wolverine one especially after last weeks wolverine one shot.

I really like the X-Force and I recommend this title to any one who enjoys X-Force. Both stories are decent and the art as well. No knock on the artist in part one but i just can't gt used to that art style. But from speaking with others they did think the art was decent.

Amazing Spider-Man #562

Two Spider-Mans how could it be? Well this month in Amazing Spider-Man we find out. After the events of Peter's paparazzi job with the "new" Daily Bugle. Peter finds him self down and out yet again as Brand New Day continues. While Peter tries to learn more information on the "spider-tracer" killings the Basher put an on-line challenge for spidey to show up and fight him with out his webs. At the same time a bar where a gathering of some familiar "spidey-foes" are watching the challenge being issued the bookie now offers to take bets on if spidey will show most of the villains be live Spidey wont so they all place there bets. Peter who has seen the video on the net decides to play it safe and go as Peter Parker. The Basher keeps calling out to Spidey and still a no show the gathering of villains watching the broadcast in the bar be live that they have their bets won and are looking to be paid when all of a sudden Spidey shows up and deals with the Basher. Peter who is watching this knows that's not spidey and swings into action. After a lengthy chase Spidey (the real one) catches the impostor and unmasks him. It turns out that the "fake" Spider-Man was in fact Screwball a villain from a couple of issues ago who aired her crimes on the net. She tells Spider-Man that the Bookie payed her bail and offered her more money to go and take out the Basher as Spider-Man. Spidey takes the address where this Bookie can be found and heads off. Meanwhile the villains got wise to the Bookies attempt to try and cheat them after trying to weasel himself out of it the villains all gang up on the Bookie then the real Spider-Man shows up right in the middle of a gathering of some of his foes.


It was a decent issue to say the least I'm looking forward to where this title is going with the Spidey killings but to me it seems that it's really taking a while to get there. Don't get me wrong I'm one for a real nice set up into something but this seems like it has been dragged out for a while now. Other than my little fan-boy complaint i enjoyed the new writer on ASM Bob Gale. and the art was really decent.

Like i said before not a bad story at all but the lack of heading towards the spidey killings has really slowed down the story.
