Well, I just picked up around $300 worth of comics from the last four months from my other comic book provider and I need an outlet to write about the issues I read! This one deals with some of the odds and end titles I read, not really belonging to any one group (like the Bat titles, FF titles, DD titles, Punisher Max titles or X-Titles). This will be a short one, of a few books, but spoilers are ahead.
Catching Up:
-Sensational Spider-Man #40- This would be the final issue of Sensational Spider-Man, before OMD at least. This is a bad retelling of his origin (Aunt May had a broom in her hand when she told Peter that Ben was dead) and apparently God shows up to talk to Peter. Peter grows up and has two kids with MJ. This was just really bad and I felt silly reading it.
-Avengers: The Initiative #4- I only stole this from the Marvel stack since I missed it from my LCS. I didn’t read it since I just finished #5 and didn’t felt like I missed anything. MVP may be alive, though.
-Marvel Spotlight: Halo- This featured a pretty good interview with Bendis, a not so good one with Alex Maleev, a conversation with two designers of Halo 3 (which I didn’t read) and a funny Brian Reed interview. I enjoyed this spotlight.
-Halo Uprising #1- This is a four-part mini-series done by Bendis/Maleev and is everything you’d want from a Halo book. There’s Master Chief blasting away at aliens only to get captured. The aliens are on their way to Cleveland to look for a key that will make the Halo work. We focus on two people (a singer and a concierge) in Cleveland, basically at eye level to the whole event. I will be definitely pick up the next three issues.
-Runaways #’s 26-27- The Runaways escape from Punisher (with Molly using her super strength to punch Frank in the gut in a funny moment) and Victor Mancha meeting an ugly metal angel type character with a message for him. They have the device Fisk wants but screw him over and don’t give it to him. They escape in the Leap Frog and go into overdrive, ending up in the past. They are in the past and run into some other super-powered characters and it seems that Gert’s parents are in the past behind it all. Issue 26 was good, 27 not so much.
That’s it for now. Check back later for another Comic Book Catch Up.
