This Week’s Pull List (Get Your Mind Out Of The Gutter)
I only just read all of my stack of comics for this week, and I thought it would be fun to give a mini-rant for each one.
GeNext #1 – Here’s a play-by-play of what went through my head upon discovering GeNext. “SWEET! Is that Nate Grey on the cover?!? I had no idea they were bringing him back! Wait, that’s not Nate Grey. And why does Colossus look less buff? This comic is dumb.”
I think I lost brain cells reading this book.
Deadpool: Suicide Kings #2 – I still can’t help but love Deadpool. And I’m especially glad that Marvel’s trying to integrate the Punisher into the main universe. There is a serious headscratcher at the end though. I’m not gonna spoil it, but I will say that I had no idea Deadpool even knew “that guy.”
Secret Warriors #4 – Nick Fury is awesome again. This issue sets the tone for an upcoming war with Hydra. I can’t help but feel that the title is a bit misleading though. It seems like with each issue that hits, we see less and less of the “Secret Warriors.”
Wolverine #73 – It’s no Old Man Logan, but I really chuckled at the day-by-day showing of Wolvie’s life with the X-Men/Avengers/whatever. The biker stuff is pretty interesting too.
Dark Reign Hawkeye #2 – I think books like this are the main selling point of Dark Reign. I mean, it’s nice to see the Avengers trying to fight their way to Osborn, but it’s especially awesome to finally see what goes on on the other side of the superpowered fence.
Dark Reign: Young Avengers #1 – Does this remind anyone else of a Young Avengers story arc we were promised before the book was “delayed” way back when? At any rate, I already hate the new team (not because they’re evil, but because they’re kind of lame). Ironically though, I do enjoy the team dynamic (or lack thereof). Pretty refreshing to see nothing go right for a team from it’s onset.
Black Panther #4 – Who is the new Black Panther? I find myself caring less and less. I just want T’Challa back.
