13/11: Yesterday's Comics... Today!
Here's the noteworthy stuff of the books I picked up this week:
Detective 850- The conclusion of the Heart of Hush storyline that's a prequel to all the R.I.P stuff happening in Morrison's Batman. I'm sorry, but Hush is just not a villain I can get excited about... even when he was introduced nothing interested me about Batman fighting a wannabe Unknown Soldier. Now if Batman had been fighting the real Unknown Soldier then we'd have something. I think the way DC handled the return of Jason Todd, after giving us the red herring of Hush has always left the character with a bad taste in my mouth. That is not to say I didn't enjoy Loeb's Batman: Hush, I just always thought the reveal of Dr. Elliot, a character introduced within the arc, as Hush was a bit anti-climactic, and then to be followed by the hasty return of Jason Todd as the Red Hood just seemed a bit cluttered. Anyway Hush removes Catwoman's heart to make Batman sad, then he get's beaten up, then everything returns to status quo.
Booster Gold 14- A continuation of last month's issue where Starro the Conquerer has lived up to his name, and has indeed conquered earth. Booster is humanity's only hope and with the help of Lady Chronos and very humerous cameo of Mr. Freeze, Booster set's things straight. Booster Gold continues to be one of my favorite DC series being published right now and this issue does not disapoint.
Wolverine 69- The story arc that perked my interest back into the Wolverine series a few months ago is starting to test my patience. I feel like Mark Millar watched the Road Warrior five or six times, got really excited and decided to write Old Man Logan. In all fairness, it's not that bad for a Wolverine story and at least you get to see a pacifistic Wolverine out of his element in a post-apocalyptic world filled with violence.
Walking Dead 54- The series has finally done something that I thought it would never do, introduced a character I actually like and would enjoy seeing live through the Zom-pocalypse.
A few of the other things I picked up:
Fables 78- Good read.
Trinity 24- Meh, s'alright. Liked the GL/Despero story in the back.
Green Arrow & Black Canary- So Connor is now Wolverine?
B.P.R.D The Warning 5- Fun, as always.
