Fun Stuff.

All-new X-men #11- First things first the emotional drama, bits of family squabble x-action and attack on the base by the new-ish Brotherhood was absolutely brilliantly illustrated by Immonen with finishes complimenting and enhancing the original lines on a level superior to almost all other comic art. Immonen and Co are the absolute best there is doing it today. And the X-men books for the most part are better than they have been in some time...well a really long time. Bendis seems to really be inspired here His out of time young X-men are an interesting bunch especially now that plucking them from the past has changed them in many ways. Jean is angry, Scott conflicted, Bobby bewildered, Hank determined and Warren looking to Cyke and his X-men as the better alternative. I really loved the bit with the Cuckoos and the lesson Jean learns. This is quite a wild surprising ride. 8.25 out of 10

Batman #20- The Clayface arc comes to a close. The art work by Capullo is really amazing and fluid. His textures for Clayface are a nice touch, it is a real nice monstrous version not unfamiliar but a little scarier and meaty. Capullo also does nice work with the handling the emotion of Bats and Alfred continuing to deal with Snyder peppers and then seals the issue with. The ending scene to me is very powerful. I also like the bits with Fox, and Bats smarts, and the introduction of the Batman Beyond costume prototype. 8 out of 10

Avengers #11 - This book keeps rock and rolling. Hickman. The team heads to Hong Kong for high stakes casino action with AIM. Its a fun Bond-like 79's era throw back nicely handled by Hickman and Deadato. I was actually surprised by how different the tone felt but it really helped bring Master of Kung-fu forward and allowed the team members to interact in interesting ways and move the whole story forward a step. Nicely done. 7.75 out of 10

Uncanny Avenges #8 - While I have beem giving Hickman all praise which he is due for reinvigorating the Avengers books I forget to thank Remender. His work on this book has been a compliment to Hickman and Bendis and shines just as bright. The Heirs of Apocalypse launch catastrophic death on humanity and foiled by the atomic power of Sunfire and Thor. Who team up and are confronted with some hard information about the future and their teammates. Things they refuse to believe. Unknown to them another bomb goes out, one of the Heirs unleashing evolutionary fury on a city as sacrifice while the other Avengers are en route and witness it. They too are struggling trusting each other it seems. The art is beautiful. I often posted about dropping books because of Acuna's inconsistency. But here...it's absolutely stunning. Kirby-esque yet modern..and stylistically rendered. 8 out of 10

Harbinger #12 - Harbinger Wars is such a good read so far. Project Rising Spirit vs Harada for the Psiots. It's smart X-men without the costume. Peter's Renegades find the PRS kids held up in an abandoned casino where there have been forced to protect themselves and kill waves of strike forces trying to reclaim them.The teams relate in ways and decide to team up. The art is cleaner and more open than previous issues which is nice. No distractions. 7.50 out of 10

Ultimate Comics X-men #26 - Absolute crap, I couldn't even read it. Nice cover by Dave Johnson. And a waste of an artistic powerhouse like Asrar...who is getting butchered by the inks. 2 out of 10

Batman and (Robin) Red Hood #20 - Another suprisingly powerful book. Batman uses his old partner trying to come to terms with his own loss and inability to acct Damien's death and seems to be trampling the emotions and relationships he has with others. This time taking Jason to where he died, forcing him to relieve that time trying to unlock memories of his own rebirth for Batman to use to bring back Damien. This deceit triggers a fight and further distances Batman from his former ward. The art is terrific yet slightly inconsistent. 7 out of 10

Secret Avengers #4- Luke Ross' art i absolutely awesome but nothing can make this book interesting...even Hulk dropping on a army of Iron Patriots. Dear Marvel Comics, Luke Ross should be drawing Cap. 2 out of 10

Thor: God of Thunder #8 - Place this alongside the best Thor runs ever. Aaron and Ribic = AWESOME! Ribic's art is made for Thor. He draws a handsome, powerful and epic Thor as well as all the amazing gods, tech and props. Not to mention amazing action and drama. And does it without burdening the reader with digital tricks and filters and overpowering photoshop tricks. Aaron takes us on a tour of Tho's past enslavement and freedom from the Butcher of God's and his reunion with his present and future self as they travel to take down the Killer once and for all. Its really well executed and the bits of humor are great. 8 out of 10

And....

Things I love on the internet and Facebook

Aris FB Status Comic Book Capsule Reviews 05-01-2013

Earth 2 #12 - Its Fate VS Wotan in all out battle for the mysterical mastery of this Earth. And with the heroes holding interference at bay Fate manages to call on the power of the ancient gods of the Nile for the win. It is a spectacular issue long battle, beautifully exectued and drawn by Nicola Scott and it looks at by the end of the book we have the starts of a JSA! 7 out of 10

Animal Man #20 - While it is great to see an issue drawn by John Paul DeLeon..he is amazing the issue lacked real punch. There was no emotional statement or sense of loss or even an inkling of why an interlude of this type after the 19 issue long ROT storyline was needed...I mean it is great to have a new direction..but this seems out of place and poorly planned. Aside from the art I cannot say much of the writing. I should have Byrne stole it before purchasing..this was a waste of an issue for sure. 4 out of 10

Thanos Rising #2 - OK I am dropping this piece of garbage. This is probably the worst thing I have read in a long time...and I am reading Superior Spider-man. I am not sure how this got past editorial. It cheapens Thanos completely. It is terrible. Lacks any emotional punch and it is sadly predictable and poorly executed. There is nothing in the entire two issues so fare that is clever, interesting, powerful or even thoughtful. Thanos motivations and "origin" are so badly handled and heavy handled it ends up being nothing more than a common killer seduced by what? Death? heh. im telling you it was better when we had to guess and thought he was simply the metaphysical agent and lover of Death...scourging the universe of life because it simply makes his mistress happy. The art is too much. Too stylized and busy to be enjoyed especially with the story being so mundane and pathetic. 2 out of 10

X-Factor #255 - Mephisto wins! Mephisto triumphs over the hell lords and becomes the master of all he surveys while X-factor struggles against all odds to try and prevent Earth from being overrun by hellspawn. Meanwhile in the bowls of Hades. Monet and Quido slug it out to her death. A heavy and surprising price. Leaving the team broken and Mephisto supreme. The art is awesome. This books seems to be coming out every two weeks and the art has remained phenomenal. Kirk is all kinds of awesome. Looks like we only have an issue or so left of this series. I hope he gets picked up for one of the big books. 7 out of 10

Superior Spider-man #9 - So the penultimate confrontation between Peter and Octavio for the body, form and future of Spider-man. The two have it out in th ether of Octavio's consciousness in a battle of wills that bloodies the psychic lanscape and leaves Doc Ock superior and in control for good it seems. The art works for the issue..taking a somewhat darker tone than the rest of the series. An interesting read but so pointless. What happened to the Avengers? 6 out of 10

A little late with some reviews from last week...please feel free to comment.

 X-Factor #254 - You know this book is really a fun read for this old fan. The Gods of Death and Evil, Rulers of Hell are battling for supremacy with the son of Wolfbane as the one being in existence who can end it for them. The X-Factor conflicted at first struggle as the Hell Gods dwindle them selves down to Mephisto. In the end the infighting ends with Monet and Guido slugging it out in Hell. Everything you loved about comics as a kid especially the X-men is here. The art is amazing. Leonard Kirk is really kicking butt. I love his style. 8 out of 10

Wolverine and the X-men #27? Yeah thats right that is a question mark. Did I miss the end of the Dog/Savageland story line? Is this a fill in? I have to admit As soon as I got 5 pages in I stopped reading. Completely uninterested. Art is nice. Great colors. But really..story wise? garbage. Shame. The ongoing story is pretty good. This was a waste. 3 out of 10

Nova #3 - What a fun book. The definition of a fun book. Open accessible stylish powerful art that is pretty much the best in the game. This is McGuinness at his best. And a simple easy to follow origin story of a teen struggling to understand his father's legacy as he is thrust into a galaxy at war side by side scoundrels tasked with training him. Its fun pretty straightforward and beautiful to look at. Some awesome action scenes, a great few pages with the Watcher and an awesome cliffhanger. 8 out of 10

Pick of the week***
Jupiter's Legacy #1 - I have really missed Mark Millar. I never liked Kick-ass. So Skipped it but Since his Authority days I have really loved his work. When he hits...he hits better than anyone. So its been a while since I read a Miller book...the last one was Supercrooks which followed Nemesis and Superior which I loved. And before that 1985 and Old Man Logan were perfection. Here Millar is reunited and at his best with Quitely. Who beautifully illustrates this comic. Its open and fluid and epic when it needs to be and really no one can capture the modern era pop-centric excess culture better than him. The clothes and body types are perfect as are the flashbacks and super fight. The art is beautiful. The colors are really nicely suited for Quitely's style. It adds a great tone to the book and is not heavy with filters and detail. I loved the story too. From Millar's open origin, the introduction of the characters, the debate within the ranks of pantheon of elder heroes and the state of affairs in the modern world and their children. It is nicely written and paced with the right amount of action and drama in the middle with Millar excesses peppered in it for flavor. 8.75 out of 10

Savage Wolverine #4- First let apologize for incorrectly chastising Marvel editorial jumping the gun confusing this book with Wolvie and the X-men #27 and for going to print without Cho. Well Cho did draw this book and it is absolutely stunning, magnificent and beautiful. Shanna..hubba-hubba. Great action and beautiful visceral Wolvie action vs savages and giant apes! Not to mention a HULK at the end. It is pretty fun to read too...a little heavy with dialogue and unnecessary explanations but it works. I didnt realise that was Amadeus Cho. COOL! Nice touch CHO! I get it. :) A fun read with some nice creative touches within. 8 out of 10

Wolverine and the X-men #28 - Thank god we got past that Age of Ultron tie in. back to good all fun in the Savage Land where the students learn their lesson and stand tall in the face of abandonment and opposition. They pass Wolvie's test but they shed some fat...Glob leaves with Sauron for the Hellfire Academy. Dog is beaten by the bonds formed by the team and retreats to be found by his future self where is gets some additional torment. The art is fun and terrific the perfect style for this book. 7.5 out of 10

East of West #2 - the Horsemen execute all unbelievers and settle on a minion to be President and she is sent to meet the other rulers of whats left of the world and speak of the Message that binds them and she is invites to play in the dangerous chess match in the odd other earth against Death who rides the plains seeking vengeance on these servants of his former brethren. As Death approaches its next victim they strike a deal when it is revealed Death's wife lives. The book is smart and interesting...you are pulled into this strange world and find yourself trying to guess whats really going on. Thats the fun of it. But Hickman is way ahead of us. But its a great joyous chase. The are is fantastic. Clean and stylized. Similar to me to Paul Smith. The thick inks and simple colors really give the book a great visual punch. 8 out of 10

Uncanny X-Men #5 - I tried not to like it but I sure did. Cyke's X-men retreat with the Cuckoos and Angel in tow only to discover Magik is plagued by the same broken version of here powers revealing her recent jaunt to Limbo putting her in direct conflict with Dormammu. She repels the demon by embracing the dark nature that possesses her...but cursed with a warning that she will end soon. While the children new to the team exchange pleasantries Ilyanna pulls them back into Limbo...concerned they turn to her but only find the Darkchilde. Well written and epic. Irving's painterly art really sell Limbo it's visceral and enchanted at the same time. Cant wait to see where this goes...hard to believe Magik could repel Dormammu. 8 out of 10

Manhattan Projects #11 - Love that the artist is back, his style really adds a nice unique tone to this smart, nuanced, clever book. Smart too. I see the colorist is spreading his wings some. We have the regular two tone through most of the issue in the flashback/origin. But once you get to the meeting of the project leaders on the moon there are some nice colors. this issue is packed with personal character stuff. Nicely written by Hickman but my favorite part is the Project leaders meeting Oppenheimer unveiling his 4 um...3 point plan for the future of the projects...nicely done. 8.5 out of 10

Uncanny Avengers #7 - Marvel is just killing it right now. the children of Apocalypse wage a war by the Sun that ends with splitting a Celestial open and the siblings of Archangel claim  their mantles as the heir to the power of death by making a sacrifice of their siblings in the aftermath. Meanwhile the new Avengers mutant team struggles with leadership and choices and relationships. Some nice time is spent on character and team building before the calm is shattered by the SWORDS space station crashing back to Earth after being run through by Apocalypse's ship. The Avengers are called to action. What role Kang plays into this I wonder? the art by Acuna is perfect. Really adding to the book nicely. His versions of the children of Apocalypse and the Celestial are awesome. 8.5 out of 10

Invincible #102 - Excellent. Nolan finds out he is the true heir to the Viltrumite empire while under a vicious attack from Thragg. One that almost kills him if not for a last minute change of heart save from the surviving Viltrumites on Earth who overhear Thragg's deceit and help defeat him. Nolan accepts his mantle as leader and invites his people to learn to live on Earth, repopulate and endure peacefully. And then there the proposal. A solid well done issue in Kirkman fashion. Ottley's art is made for these powerhouse fist to the face epic Viltrumite battle issues. 8 out of 10

New Avengers #5 - I have to admit I am getting a bit bored of the obligatory Hickman graphics on the covers inside recap pages and credits. But it is a small price to pay to enjoy his brilliant contemporary take on super-heroes and the Illuminati struggling to find a way to save their universe from an incursion of apocalyptic proportions. We hear the origin of the Black Swan, some new information on the incursion and finally a deal struck with the holders of the Infinity Gems that ends with them off to stop another incursion...this time originating in Latveria. Epting's art is moody and well suited for the pace and tone of this book. The colors add a nice sense of drama and weight to the book. 8 out of 10

Guardians of the Galaxy #2 - I probably should drop this book. You have a generic attack on Earth by the Badoon who do much better against the Guardians than one would expect. But it is only a feint part of a larger conspiracy that is revealed as various empires of the universe meet in the Negative Zone to discuss the fate of Earth and it's chaotic super powered nature putting all of space/time at risk. It was a rather weird collection. one, who would think anyone could simply call on the Queen of Asgard and two why would Gladiator even take any of this seriously. Earth saved his empire, he has human friends. I dont think Bendis did a good job executing the galactic conspiracy or made good choices of the empires being involved. The action was nice but rather generic and the art is fantastic, McNiven is doing some of his best work...if somewhat wasted. This story has been done many times before. And the execution seems rather...well not as good as expected. I'll probably stick out the first arc. But I really need this to get better. 6 out of 10

Ultimate Spider-man #22 - Hog dog that was a satisfying read. Spidey and the monstrous Venom go head to head in the hospital. Its an epic face off a Miles really holds his own against the monstrosity. I really like this version of Venom. It's like a creature a monster and Pichelli really sells it with her art and size of the creature. It's an unstoppable force. And it would have killed Miles if not for his mom...who ends up dead to friendly fire. Coming to the realization the next day Miles is crushed by the loss. It's a powerful well done comic-booky story. And the art is really off the chain. I like the bit with Roxxon and am curious to see how it plays out...i'm hoping for an Osborne appearance. I can't even imagine what a Pichelli Goblin would look like. AWESOME! 8 out of 10

Avengers #10 - This book is really amazing. I really feel like I am on a wonderful ride where I have no idea where the destination will take me but the ups and downs and turns and wild jumps make it so very wonderful. I have the same sense of wonder reading this book as I did as a kid reading FF or Avengers or JLA. It's magic. The Avengers are sent into to figure out the events and changes taken place in Canada and the loss of the Omega Flight unit. The all lose a moment in time that leaves them all changed in some way and Walter with a secret that he must protect with his life taking it. It may just be that the evolution that has taken place has rendered the universal system back on line and what was broken before may be on its way to being fixed..but its unclear. Thats what makes it so much fun. Its a mystery. The art is awesome..Im no fan of Deodato..but the colors really carry the issue. 8 out of 10

Justice League #19 - Ivan Reis has made this book amazing. His art is so dynamic and stunning and beautiful it took what was essentially a bad cliche ridden indulgence of the creators and brought out the best in Johns and turned this into a fun reading experience the last several month. This is a testament to the strength of great art in comics. I did have one problem with the finished art though. Why is there noise and what looks like random color dirt in the solid blacks? Weird. Someone has managed to get past the red Hood and security in the Bat-cave, uncovered boxes deep in Batman's stash with images of the JL members on them and stole what looks to be kryptonite from the one with the Superman shield. Meanwhile Supes and Wonder Woman are confronted by Bats with the information who tells it like it is about their recent actions, secret relations and how the world perceives them. lots of good dialogue and interaction...Johns is just moving his pieces into place for what looks like a big story coming up. While this is happening Despero has smashed into the JL satellite looking for his old enemies and finds Firestorm and Atom. Epic, his Despero wearing a GL ring? Things are about to get real!. 8.25 out of 10

X-O Manowar #12 - It is hard to give a book that is well written a positive review when the art is a complete distraction. X-O has been a strong title struggling with itself due to inappropriate art and this issue is a glaring example of that. Aric has traveled to the Hive homeworld where he finds generations of his people still enslaved, bent on destroying those responsible for killing his people and wife he attacks but is not ready for the military and technological onslaught of his alien enemies and he ends up defeated. The armor leaves him and his captured by his enemies and he is left among his old people and some alien monk who sees his coming as a sign from above. Unknown to him the Hive war machine is moving in. It is well written although you wonder why such a technologically advanced race needs manual labor...but what the heck. But man the art does not sell the book at all..too thick and rough it is completely wrong for a space epic or armored character. the ships and tech are just shapes. You need a a clean tech oriented artist to carry this book. I may have to drop this title. I was looking forward to this event, but the art is really doing a number on the title. 5 out of 10

Wonder Woman #19 - Awesome. This book never fails to deliver. The factions in the war for heaven are all in play. Wonder Man loses a few allies but has gained War. The bits with Orion were great..except for him controlling his Apokolitan heritages so well when he losses it. I figured things would be a more terrifying considering it being the first time we get to witness it. Hopefully he isnt gone for long. I really enjoyed the machinations of the two elder gods, the First Born and finally the Olympians led by Apollo. You can tell things are building as pawns are set in motion and the groups solidify their positions. The art is very nice.Clean and really gives you a sense they enjoy these no visualizations of the mythic figures and giving us nice nuance in the character moments. I love the clean simple colors. They add a nice touch to the book. 8.25 out of 10

Age of Ultron #6 - No Hitch. Whats the point? I plan on ripping the issue to shreds and sending it to the Marvel offices for my money back. I recommend everyone do the same. -10 out of 10

Bloodshot #10 - The Harbinger Wars have begun and in this installment we find Bloodshot escorting the children of the Rising Sun project to safety when they are attacked by armed forces which they dispatch quite effectively. Meanwhile Harada shows up to coral them and claim the powered youngsters. You know there is gonna be a fight. It will be interesting to see what happens when the Harbingers show up...I am really enjoying the tone and modernish approach to powered characters in the Valiant-verse. The art is utilitarian and rough but works. I really recommend this title. 7 out of 10

Batman and Red Robin #19- This was a surprisingly power issue. 18 was an awesome requiem for Damien. But here we see ha beaten yet driven Batman going over the line, eaten up inside for failing his son. In the wake of his mourning he is interrupted with the thought that there was a part of Damien's life he was missing under his nose. He settles that account, but ends up abducting Frankenstein and using him as an experiment with the crazy goal of reanimating Damien. You get some excellent characterization and suffering in the conflict and really nice empathy from the Monster who ends up being unstitched on a table for Batman to review. Luckily for Batman he has a family Alfred sics Tim on him who despite Batman's protest does the right thing and stops him...and is let having to do clean up duty stitching the Monster back together again. Tomasi is simply an amazing writer...no less amazing is the moody and engaging art. It adds volumes page after page to the story. 8.50 out of 10

Age of Ultron #5 - Another solid issue all the way around with beautiful are by Hitch. The heroes search the Savage Land for Nick Fury's hidden bunker and find it and him and together hatch a plan to journey to the future to take out Ultron from the time displaced realm he is orchestrating his control of Earth. Along the way we get some good interaction and scenes discussing their moral dilemma, which is why not use Doom's time platform to go back in time and kill Pym. Which when the leaders go off into the future...Wolvie pops his claws and basically instructs the remaining heroes thats what he is gonna do. The art is exposition are really good. It is a good book and a good series...perhaps a little too decompressed and really insignificant when you look at the books in the Marvel line these days..this book is like three years out of place. It might have been better to release this as a hard cover deluxe prestige graphic novel. 7.5 out of 10

Harbinger #11 - A history lesson on Harada and Project Rising Spirit, Pete is given guidance from the Bleeding Monk that moves him to tells his companions and motivates them to seek out the PRS children and become players in the war of power going on around them. Harada doesnt like any of it. I like the jumps through history. The parts with Harada and PRS in the past are smartly handled and well scripted. The art is good, but can get messy and a little distracting at times. 6.75 out of 10

Saga #12 - This book continues to bring joy. The Robot Prince gets closer to the escapees then he could every know, and we get a quite a treat from a script full of fun dialogue and interesting new information. The art is great. Fiona owns this book with her unique style adding to the writing to make the book a great unique fun treat every month. 7 out of 10

Avengers #9 - In the wake of the White Event the universal code seeks to create defenders. Unfortunately the universe is broken and it is not time. Starbrand and Nightmask therefor seek answers from the creators...Ex Nilo and Abyss from their vantage point on the moon. There we discover Ex Nilo has experimented on Earth setting in motion an evolutionary chain of events leading to Earth's sentience. Nightmask and Starbrand head back Earthside to witness it first hand...wand what it looks like on the shores of Croatia...is a Unimind of sorts. Things quickly escalate and Starbrand unleashes his power. The Avengers called to action take him down. They realize there is no other option after an epic but short slugfest but to safely keep both the powerhouses away from Earth. What this means and where the story goes from here is anyones guess. This is a smart great book with Hickman really using and enjoying the play things and concepts of the Marvel Universe and adding to them or tweaking them quite nicely. I was a little let down Weaver didnt draw the entire issue his design and art styling works perfectly with the modern tone of the book. Deodato is not in the same realm of style. Although they did mange to tone down his normally shadow heavy works. Another home run. 8.5 out of 10

Uncanny Avengers #6- Remenber gives us an epic prologue to whatever catastrophe is going to beset the Avengers universe in a chess match Kang is playing across the ages...using Apocalypse as a pawn may be a big mistake. We witness a younger Thor on earth without his hammer under siege by the mutant and his horsemen and takes the fight to him without heeding the warning of his father or seeing the machinations afoot by Kang. Brash and hot headed he can only see the moment and his vengeance. It is well written and the tone is terrific. A really strong fun piece. Acuna isnt an artist I usually enjoy...he gets too loose and distracts. But this issue is really well done, tight and appropriate for the story. 8 out of 10

 Batman #19 - The art is amazing. Capullo does solid work but unlike previous issues Plascencia really opens up with a more colorful palette. It is really quire nice. The story is solid work. Batman unravels a Clayface mystery and evolution in his power to mimic others. You also get a nice flashback to Bats and Damien talking down the Reaper. I really like the Clayface design and the Reaper actually. A solid read. The back up feature was a pleasant treat the Worlds Finest team up to take on a supernatural threat that has led to the disappearance of people in the slums of Gotham. Maleev's art is quite beautiful and perfect tonally for the story. Dark and eerie and stylish. The writing is excellent. I love Supes reaching out to Bats and Bats short deliberate responses. The best part is the increasing effect the supernatural has on Supes as he closes on the flash point of a recent summoning. Its quite well done. 7 out of 10

Invincible Universe #1 - Completely unreadable and uninteresting. The art was messy despite the excellent coloring. 2 out of 10

Thor: God of Thunder #7 - A return of Ribic and a return to visual joy. The book is beautiful it's like an epic video game production art turned into a beautiful comic book. Aaron and Ribic make an awesome team..the book has a nice visceral tone and Ribic masterfully handles the art chores. Aaron treats us to well written time crossed adventure. Thor in the past in the clutches of the God-butcher. In the Present and Future two Thor's meet and decide to set sail to the far side of the universe to avenge their fellow gods and lost sons and daughters. Mean while we learn in the library of the Gods what the God Butcher has created...with the help of the god of Bombs...can you guess? Its bigger than a firecracker? The story line still seems too long...but it is a beautifully executed book. 7 out of 10
