The Pull List((POSSIBLE SPOILERS))

[DMD]

Up Next- Batman the Dark Knight #3.

ANother book that the art is the best part of, if you like the ueber muscular "roid" character look on everyone but Alfred.

We pick up with Batman battling the Roided up Joker who turns out to be Clayface on the train while the mysterious villianess The White Rabbit calmly watches while they tear each other and the train apart . Batman actually loses the fight, but the day is saved by the arrival of The Flash who causes the Rabbit to flee before she can inject Batman with an updated version of her "Fearless" potion.

From there we see the detective who has been hounding both Batman and Bruce Wayne continue to do so, untill Batman drops a captured Clayface on his car, causing the detective to open fire , only to have Bats do a classic" I'm not there I'm behind you now." But there's where the classic ends, as Batman commences to threaten the detective with some cheesy one liner threats that makes him sound more like Steven Segal than Bruce Wayne they include....

"I'll drop you so fast you'll think you traveled back in time" and

"If you give my people so much as a parking ticket I'll be the first shadow you don't check"

And last but not least, but possibly the worst and most out of character...

"I don't care about Bruce Wayne, I'm Batman with or without him"

At least the art relays what a blunder bone headed thing that was to say in the detectives expression...

From there we see Bruce in the batcave where he studies the chemical compound discovering that along with the The Scarecrow's fear toxin it contains a percentage from a rare plant that only Posion Ivy would have acess to.

Then, at a date between Bruce and ...I forget her name, we see Bruce implying that he suspects she might be the White Rabbit when she uses the "I'd like to kick the tires " phrase that the villian used on the train to Batman. he tells her she reminds him of someone and asks if she has a sister.

He did it AGAIN, a blunder that almost screams "HEY I'M BATMAN" considering that if she was The White Rabbit that is the ONLY way Bruce would know that she used that phrase with Batman.

Fortuantly, Alfred contacts him to inform him that the Rabbit has been seen somewhere else in the city.

Later, Batman again with the Flash travels to Ivy's last known location to confront her about her involvment or being comprimised by the Rabbit, when the Flash is pricked by a thorn coated with the "Fearless" toxin. Flash is forced to race away, speeding up his heart and metabolism to keep the toxin from effecting him, and Batman enters the hideout to find it trashed and the plant life out of control but no apparent Ivy..

After seeing Twoface, Clayface, and now the forshadowing of Ivy inside three issues, you get the feeling this is Finch's attempt to do his verison of a Hush like story. Well, all I can say is that  I read Hush, by Jeoph Loeb and Finch is no Loeb and this is no Hush...

Other than the art, wich you'll either love or hate depending on how big a fan of 90s over muscled and detailed style you where this book is to put it nicely as I can....not very good. I think it's a matter of an artitst trying his hand at writing and so far not doing so well.

Like with the examples of Bruce virtually telling two diffrent people his seceret in passing , the characterization of both him, Two Face in the last issue and even the Flash in this issue is pretty much the worst I've ever seen.

The Flash punches through the side of the train at superspeed? Anyone who has ever read a Flash book should know that isn't how his powers work.....he vibrates through solid objects, because if he hit them at his highest speeds he'd break every bone in his body and or kill anything organic he hit . To borrow a D&D term, instant chunky salsa!

By far the worst of all eight Batbooks I can almost at this point guarantee this one won't make the Final Pull List after the next issue, 1%.

[DMD]

ALLRIGHTY THEN.

Here we are, five issues of each of the new 52 in, and I've decided on my Final Pull List for them as well as non-DC book I currently read.

Unfortuantly, DC made the choice with me for some of the titles . OMAC, Blackhawks, Static Shock, Hawk and Dove , Mr Terriffic and Men of War are all canceled as of issue eight.  Out of those I'd already dropped Mr Terriffic and Static Shock.

The canceled titles are planned to be replaced with a GI Combat taking the place of Blackhawks and or Men of War. The new title will have a lead feature of The War That TIme Forgot, basically a group of military men who get stranded on an uncharted island with dinosaurs, at least that was what the orignal comic was about, and a rotating backup stories featuring Unknown Soldier and Haunted Tank.

The other new books launching in thier place include a World's Finest title starring The Huntress and Power Girl, both natives of Earth 2 trapped here on Earth 1 and looking for a way home.

An Earth 2 title, featuring the Justice Society of America and other alternative or past versions of current heros.

DIAL H For Hero- A modern take on an old comic that was reader created, basicaly in the orignal two teens a boy and girl find dials that when used to dial H-E-R-O gave them a diffrent super persona for one hour each time.  More recent versions of the comics where a lot darker and mature. Still focused around the dial and it's owners but more serious takes on the effects such a life would have ona  normal person.

Another title is the Grant Morrison Batman Inc , relaunched in the New 52. Can't say I'm excited to see other original or unique titles such as OMAC, Blackhawks or Men of War getting shelfed to make room for ANOTHER Bat-title....

And the last of the six new titles is called Ravagers, a teen hero team book that will spring from the pages of Teen Titans, Superboy and Legion Lost's upcoming mini-cross over.

Other than those, I also dropped several other titles as well, and ended up sticking with 28 out of the existing 52, that include ...
Action Comics
Animal Man
Detective Comics
Green Arrow
Justice League International
Storm Watch
Swampthing
Deathstroke
Demon Knights
Frankenstien Agent of Shade
Green Lantern

   And my non-New 52 titles

Thor
Journey Into Mystery
Amazing Spiderman
Avenging Spiderman

IDW
D&D
D&D -Legend of Drizzt

Omni
Sixth Gun

Starting with my next post, either later tonight or tomorrow I'll pick up with the issue by issue reviews of each title .

[DMD]

 Black Hawks #5

While the Blackhawks command center try to recover from the battle between the captured enemy super agent and thier own nano-infected member, Canada and Wildman find themselves captive in orbit aboard the satilite  of Mother.

Mother makes them an offer, either join her in her quest for a sentinent technology future or die as she shuts off life support and disengages the satilite's orbit, sending it slowly spiraling toward Earth.

In a last ditch act of defiance, Wild Man figuring out the entire satilite is a huge kinetic cannon that fires tungsten rods at targets on Earth, he uses it to destroy Mother's futuristic base city deep in a cave system in Central America even as they begin to re- enter orbit and crash. Meanwhile, Canada a pilot to the end engages a daring mid air-near collision rescue plan with Lady Black Hawk and a high altitude super sonic jet using nothing but a tether cable to snag him and Canada as the two pass in the lower atmosphere.

Later the team regroups at headquarters where Wildman talks with an unconsious Nikki, who stirs in her slumber as he leaves to a diffrent voice, one that speaks to her through the nano-bots in her system, claiming to be like a Mother to her...

The best issue of the soon to be canceled series so far, it was action heavy and with the new artist Cafu showed just how much differance a style of art can make in a book . Unfortuantly it was too little too late with only three issues left in the run barring a last minute stay of execution by powers that be due to a drastic upswing in sales. I plan on sticking with the book until the bitter end.

I give this issue 4 out of 5 stars.

[DMD]

Fury of Firestorm 5.


Finanllay in the custody of the shadowy Zithertech that has pursued them through the first four issues, both Jason and Ronnie are confronted by the Director and thier parents who persuade them to give the coperation a chance and work with them as budding coperae heros while they continue to study the powers and abilities of the Firestorm Protocols both have become part of.

Meanwhile in Russia, the Soviet Firestorm codename Pozhar intterogiates a terrorist Protocol and eventually kills him before announcing his plan to remove any non Soviet Protocols from the eqaution.

Later, Ronnie and Jason are sent to a demonstration concert where terrorist Protocols have taken hostages and begin to battle the rogue Firestorms , before realizing too late that instead of hostage takers the leader is a suicide bomber, and that being a superhero is not a game...

How this book can stay on the shelf while original series like OMAC and Men of War get canceled is beyond me. WHile the story picked up and improved slightly with this issue it's still a teenage angst fest with a light side of political statement thrown in . I'm letting this one go after five issues and will be surprised if it makes it past a second wave of cancelations due mostly to the fact it bears little other than name and the core idea of two men combining to form one Nuclear Man to the original pre-reboot Firestorm characters and book.

I give it 2 out of 5 stars.

[DMD]

Voodoo 5

Voodoo returns to the alien ship that brought her to Earth and began her mission to inflitrate our society and gather intel on Earth Super Heros for the inpending invasion by her Daemonite masters. There she's attacked by a full blow Daemonite agent out to kill her for her hybrid heratige in opposistion to the Council's deluting of thier gene pool . Meanwhile a rogue Agent Falon and the meta agent Black Jack take matters of tracking down the alien hybrid killer into thier own hands as they travel to a top seceret location as a last ditch effort to find her.

Voodoo eventaully defeats the Daemonite only to unearth information at the same time that not only is she a hybrid, but apparently a clone of the orignal human or hybrid Pamela who's idenity she took for a cover a the same time that Falon and Black Jack arrive at the hidden base where the orignal is still alive and captive...

While this book has a decent "Behind Enemy Lines" or "Agent Without a Country and Betrayed" feel to it, and fans of espionage/ thriller stories might actually like it, the story is a little too slow moving and feels decompressed to me. I think the first five issues could have been told in three.  Apparently however the book's sales are at least good enough to survive the first cancelation cuts by DC, not however by me. I figure I'll be able to follow both her and Grifter in StormWatch sooner or later, or possibly a yet to be announced Wildcats book so I'm letting it go at five .

I give this last issue for me 3 out of 5 stars.

[DMD]

 Batman The Dark Knight 5.

In this issue the trail of the ellusive White Rabbit and the new "Fearless" drug leads Batman to confront the Scarecrow where he himself becomes injected with the drug after proving able to overcome Scarecrow's normal fear agents. Now roided out and out of control himself, Batman is found by a concerned Superman, who attempts to reason Bruce through his chemcialy induced raged but ends up fighting him instead, and apparently hitting him a little too hard as he sends him crashing through the roof of the abandoned structure and into a broken heap, unresponsive on the ground at a panicked Clark's feet...


By far the worst of the Bat-books, a clear case of why artists should draw and writers should write and never between the two should the cross the streams. The entire series is eye candy, David Finch can draw hyper detailed muscular figures as well as anyone in the ninties craze of that art style could. Unfortuantly he also writes about as well as some other artitsts of that period who attempted it as well.

Even with the help of co-author Paul Jennkins the story is all over the place , and one super guest star or villian of the month spotlighted for almost random cause or reason after the other. Every so often but rare there's a page to pannel or two of really well written characterization  that it's hard to guess who was the product of, Finch or Jennkins . If I had to guess I'd say the latter , especially a couple scenes with James Gordon, Alfred and Bruce himself over five issues.

BUT, it is not enough to save it for me. Plenty of other, better Bat-Books out there to take up spots on my final Pull List, so I let this trainwreck go after 5.

I give this last issue on 1 1/2 stars based on mostly the stellar art and the rare bright spot of characterization.

[DMD]

I'm going to start this week's reviews off with a non DC, non New 52 book

Fatale, 1-2. it's by Image, written by Ed Brubaker . Imagine a noirish reporter thrown in with a mysterious damsel in distress, corrupt cops, and then throw in Lovecraft and Poe . And there you have it. If the first two issues are any indication this will quickly be giving The Sixth Gun a run for it's money as best book on the shelves in my opinion.



And now for the bad news.

OMAC #6.

This issue like the entire series so far was nothing short of great. The book is a tribute to classic comics, Jack Kirby and the 4th World in both story telling and art.  We see Kevin Cho in his human form going on a double date with his estranged girlfriend and coworkers, one of whom is revealed to be the Lethal Leilani, one of Granny Goodness' Fatal Furies, searching for the missing Mother Box that is part of the makeup of both Brother EYE and OMAC.

Meanwhile, we see the war between EYE and Maxwell Lord leader of Checkmate heat up as they bump heads over the mysterious Subject Zero project.

The issue ends when OMAC defeats Leilani with the help of a power boost from Eye while Eye's assassin is foiled as Max reveals his mind control powers, and Kevin's girl leaves the scene with his best friend , while Kevin stumbles away from the rubble of the resturant presumed to be mysteriously missing again by them both...

Why is this bad news? Because this book is canceled in two more issues. Apparently there's no room in the comic industry for a truely unique and fun comic like this in the modern setting. They'd rather replace it with another freaking Batbook or more than likely another soon to fail teen superhero book. If you have to cancel something to make room for ANOTHER Batbook because the current eight are not enough, why not one of those eight current Bat titles, some of wich who's sales are little if any better than OMAC's ?

It saddens me, it pisses me off.

I'll do some more reviews tomorrow ....

[DMD]

 I think I'm just gonna review a handful of what I thought where the best books of the week here from now on, doing every one I read is too much like homework or a task, takes the fun out of it .


1st Place this week goes to....

Punisher Max 22

Nick Fury says, and I agree" It ended the only way it ever could ."

This was the last issue of the current Punisher Max edition, and it was good. Not just good, powerful.

Frank's long fight finally came to and end, and we get to see just what he did or didn't accomplish or leave behind from the viewpoint of his oldest, possibly only friend or closest thing he still had to one.

I admit that the Punisher isn't gone, there's still a main stream Marvel Punisher book but it's nowhere near as good as this Max line and it's predocessors by the likes of Garth Ennis' legendary run that defined the character . The writer of this edition, Aarron did Ennis' work justice as closely as anyone could ask and I tip my hat to him.

2nd Place goes to

Suicide Squad 6.

Harely Quinn has staged a prison break and gone rogue from the SS to find her old flame the Joker when she learns of rumors he has been killed.  The Squad follow close on her heels to Gotham and battle a squad of freaky transvestite Joker Henchmen including a siamese twin all decked as Quinn decoys. Who set the false trail, Harely herself or perhaps someone else is covering for her....

Either way we get to see an embelishment on her origin and first days as a shrink in Arkham and first fatefull meeting with Mr J. himself there. Quite simply put it's one of the best characterizations of both characters I've ever read .

It ends with Harely allowing herself to be captured by Gotham's Finest just to get to the skinned face of Joker being held in custody there since his apparent death at the hands of Dollmaker in Detective Comics 1. This leads us to the cliffhanger of a three way dance between the GCPD, Harley and the Squad in the next issue as the Squad tries to get Harley out quitely, because everyone knows you don't want to much attention in Gotham.....

3rd Place could be a tossup between several books this week that where all good but none really stood clearly above and beyond the others . They include Green Lantern, Demon Knights, Frakenstien, Legion Lost and RessurectionMan.

For now, I'll give the nod for 3rd to Green Lantern 6.

We get to see hal Jordan and Carrol Farris enjoying thier newfound time together now that both are ringless for the time and just normal folks. But it doesn't last long as Hal finds a group of corrupt workers threatening an honsest elderly co-worker and mops the floor with them in the Aerial Musuem they visit.

Meanwhile, we get to see Sinestro as he begins to hunt down rogue members of his old Sinestro Corps, along the way finding an alien hero Star Storm  he humilated while leading the Yellow Ring corps. He uses the disgraced hero to hunt down the owner of the Black Book of the Guardians, Lyssa . As the battle flows along between him and her, he finds in a flash from the book that future plans of the Guardians are even more dangerous that he believes and that he still needs Jordan to prevent the growing threat of the Guardians and thier plans for a third army led by the first Lantern.

The disgraced hero  Star Storm refuses to rise back up and fight for himself, but Sinestro leaves him with the words that he has seen men who fell lower than even the hero StarStorm has, but that he is no Hal Jordan!
Sinestro returns to Earth where he forces a power ring back on a reluctant and refusing Jordan in front of Carrol, and when Jordan claims that he is done being a Lantern Sinsestro informs him that he is far from through with him.....

[DMD]

My top three for the week. To be honest it was kind of an underwhelming week overall, and even the best where not great with possibly two exceptions.


3rd- Batman 6

Continuing Batman's battle with the Court of Owls and thier assassin The Talon beneath Gotham City, a drugged and wounded Bruce eventually shakes the effects of whatever has been effecting his mind and fights back this issue. It's a classic if slightly deus ex batman moment as he pretty much owns the Talon in round two even though his mind is still partially clouded and he's bleeding out from a blade through his torso.
 At the end he uses some good detective skills and Bat knowhow to escape....or does he?

The high point of this issue was a deeper insight into just how twisted and dark the Court of Owls are, as we see children members in tiny owl masks given the vote of how Batman will die and cheering the Talon on for more pain . We also see at the end as the wounded Talon is apparently discared and disposed of, an entire room full of coffins apparently containing more Talons awaiting awakening .....

This is a hint to the bat-book wide crossover in issue nine of all the batbook entitled Night of the Owls where the entire Batfamily will apparently deal with the Court and Talons alone and together.

And that leads to the downside, wich is the fact that the Court story is starting to lose momentum for me at least Everything indicates it runs to at least Batman Annual 1 and issue 10 and I wouldn't be surprised if it extends to the end of the year and 12 issues to make two nice tidy trades of six issues each.

Don't get me wrong, the story is interesting and well written and the art is superb, but a year long arc is a tad much for anything in my opinion. If it does last that long or longer I hope at it's end we see the end or at least the last of for a good long time of the Court and Talons....

2- Supergirl 6

 Kara is pinned to a wall by the broken blade of Ruin's sword as the remains of Argo city plummet into a blue sun's core. Visted by her parents, be they memories, ghosts, or her own subconious survival instinct, they help her summon up the strength to free her self, and then accept the fact her first home is gone and she rushes back to her second to save it from Ruin.

Back on Earth, Ruin has landed in NewYork city and begins to rampage, until stopped by the returning Kara . Unfortuantly, Ruiin has one last surprise as she traps Kara, the onlookers (( one of whom I suspect of being the New DC Silver Banshee who is upcoming in the series)) and the entire city in a forcefield just like the one that protected Argo city for so long, claiming that Kara is the only defender powerful enough to stop her, and then revealing 4 more World Killers other than herself who plan on stopping her first!

More clues are dropped in the issue that Kara is diffrent from other Kryptonians, first by her parents who say the power was always inside her, and later by Ruiin herself that claims Kara is the only defender that worries the World Killers, including Kara's cousin Superman...

The book is the roller coaster of the Superman group, it rockets along plot wise and is visually eye candy as well. Just six issues in it's covered an origin, introduced several strong villians and opened up all kinds of questions about both Kara and the World Killers, who or what exactley are they, other than kyrptonian weapons of mass destruction, are they human or clone, or possibly hybrids of humanoid kryptonians and kryptonian animals, and is Kara herself possibly a World Breaker herself, or something else and possibly worse if they fear her?

1- Green Lantern Corps 6

Concluding the Keeper arc, Guy Gardner and his handpicked special forces group of worst of the worst the Corps has to offer in renegades, black sheeps and castoffs track the Keeper homeworld down to resucue John Stewart and the other captured Lanterns . But not before the torture of the Keepers causes one Lantern to lose his will and forces Stewart to snap his own comrades neck, killing him before he can give away the codes for the forcefield that protects the planet Oa.  John apparently does the immpossible, actually charging his own dead ring with his own willpower long enough to escape.

Or escape long enough to die fighting, if not for the timely arrival of Guy and the Gang. A royale rumble of a firefight breaks out between the gun wielding unit of Lantern and the Keeper army. It ends when Guy reveals thier ace in the whole, two mass killer members of the Sinestro corps who theyd drop on the Keeper citidal , a litteral fear bomb that prevents them from focusing thier willpower and invading OA to take the central Power Battery of the Corps. It also breaks the Keeper's resolve as they feel fear for the first time and the Guardians of the Universe sentence them to a life time of burying thier own dead, who's willpower they drained and used to fuel thier weapons and stargates...

This book is just a high octane kick ass space police/military/science fiction out of control train ride from one action to the next with just a tad of plot and characterization sprinklked in, but that's why I like it so much. The fact that the art is one of the best in the comic buisness right now doesn't hurt either!

[The Turtle]

This really isnt anything new buttttttt not to long I got the super duper ultra chocolate mega collection of BONE and...All I can say is, it was the most simple EPIC thing I have ever read, honestly, I can see why some say its one of the best Graphic Novels of all time.

[Moondog]

DMD is in fact correct. Fatale #1 and 2 are both excellent.

[DMD]

Of course I am correct, Shanedumb. There was never any doubt.

[DMD]

My top three of the week.


3- Superman #6.

A solid wrap up to the first arc, and pretty much a cover to cover slug fest between The Faux Superman from last issue, Supergirl and eventually the returning real Superman. There was just enough characterization, explanation of the creature impersonating Superman and tying up of loose plot threads to round it out . But most importantly, we got to see Superman do something he doesn't do enough of these days. Being Super. Cutting Loose. Kicking ass.


2- Teen Titans #6
 A stand alone issue that picked up with the fledgling team of young heros picking themselves up off the floor after thier battle with Superboy. First they have to escape the authorities wich they do with help from Skitter who seeks the others out to help her with her transformations into an alienesque buggish monster, freeing the others from a female detectice who uses terms like "spraking" and is seen later viewing a file on Bart Allen from the future, she looks a lot like XS from the old Impulse book.

Speaking of Kid Flash, after his battle with Superboy who pushed his speed to that of thought, he's slowly vibrating himself to pieces and out of phase with time and space. Red Robin rushes him to Star Labs where Virgil Hawkins aka Static is working as an intern, and while the rest of the team battle a new teenage soldier villian Grimm who temporarily takes over the beastial Skitter , Static manages to save Bart and provide him with a new suit to help him keep his powers in check. In the end the team decides the time has come to take the battle to NOWHERE and Superboy, setting up the upcoming three way cross over between these two books and Legion Lost, wich of course leads to the new book Ravagers...

One of the best paced and drawn and interesting books of the New 52, and tied with Suicide Squad for second best team book behind Justice League.

1-Aquaman #6

A stand alone issue that focused on Mera, instead of Aquaman himself.

We learn of Mera's past, trained as an assassin by her father who looks from the partial shots to be a revamped Ocean master to kill Aquaman before he could discover and destroy thier lost Atlantian rebel outpost. In the present we see her travel into the nearby town with the simple task of feeding the dog the couple adopted, where she is pestered by a pervert store owner , upon wich she break his arm. Eventually during a standoff with the police she overhears a radio transimission cocerning an escaped local murder on the loose and feigns surrender to be taken by the police into custody.

Arriving at the crime scene standoff with the killer who is preparing to murder his daughter like he did his wife, Mera breaks the handcuffs, kicks the door off the police car and quickly uses her control of water to dehydrate the man to the brink of death only stopping when the daughter begs for him to be spared.

At the end we see Mera back at the reef near the lighthouse where she is defying an image of her father to kill Aquaman, before she in interupted by the girl from the grocery store who was prey to the pervert before Mera gained his attention, who brings her a bag of dog food and toys, and her phone number , restoring at least partially Mera's faith and patience with humans and the surface world. The book ends with Aquaman returning to the lighthouse and announcing that they will be searching for the who sank Atlantis...

This book has some of the most astounding art I've ever seen in a superhero comic, bordering on photorealistic at time, and Johns has made the character previously thought of as a complete joke cool and relavant again with good diolouge, characterization and interesting mythos and plotting.

Honorable mention-

Sixth Gun #16.

While this third arc hasn't been as good for me as the first two, this supernatural western is still among the best books on the rack .

[DMD]

Anyone looking for a good place to jump into Spiderman, I suggest starting with issue 682 of Amazing Spiderman. It's the first part of the Ends of the Earth story by Dan Slott. In a nutshell, Doc Ock is dying, and he's launched his last master plan, backed up by the rest of the Sinsiter Six. 

He uses his Octodel, an ocean based mega complex to activate a ring of satlilites in orbit wich fire lasers and chemicals over north and south America to demonstrate the end results of global warming, and then shuts the device off and sends plans for ending global warming to all the world's leaders and head scientists, claiming he wants to repent with all his evil deeds in life by saving the future of the planet with his last.

And while the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Defenders are all occupied off Earth or in other dimensions , not even the Avengers can all agree on if they should stop Octavius this time . But one man isn't buying the villians sudden turn of heart, Peter Parker, and using devices he has developed with his time spent working to combat Octopuss and the Sinister Six when and wherever they resurfaced at Horizon Labs, he plans to stop Doc and show the Avengers and the world that it's all too good to be true....

By far the best book I read this week and looks to be one of the better mini-events in recent memory from Marvel, I look forward to it more than thier larger summer event the Avengers vs Xmen miniseries.

[The Turtle]

Recently got this B.P.R.D (The division Hellboy use to work for) paperback called 'Being human', which revolves around a few individual stories of the characters and such (Liz, Abe, Kraus, and this other humunculous one I am not familiar with).

Aside from Abes being a little short, they were all quite well done in my eyes and such, nothing to extraordinary but nothing horrible either, just good.
