Bought And Thought
POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
Ultra #5- week late getting it, but I thought it was a good issue. Ultra finds out her boyfriend sold pictures of her and him in bed together to a tabloid. She gets extremely upset about this and ends up seeing a cop murdered in front of her as a result of her inaction. She then goes on to have lunch with Jen who says she found out what the fortune teller meant from the first issue. Jen then kisses Ultra and the book ends there. Can't wait to find out how Ultra will react.
100 Girls #1 & 2- really late getting these. we are introduced to Sylvia the main charater who is having weird ass dreams about other girls who look like her. We find out her foster mom doesnt like her very much and her foster dad seems to be the one who really wanted her. after breaking a girls arm at her school she ends up runnin away becuase of being yelled at by her parents. After she runs away the black ring people pick her up, and it turns out they have 100 other girls that look just like her. They all seem to have special powers and Sylvia's powers are that she is super strong and agile. #2 starts us with Sylvia getting help from another girl who looks just like her, they beat down the agents that were following Sylvia and then go hide out in an old abandoned warehouse. Once there the other girl dies and somehow gets implanted in Sylvias mind, and the comic pretty much ends there. I like this book alot as you can see since i typed so damn much about the story.
Defex #3-Mia has cancer, her parents died from it, her blood type has changed. Tristan gets his memory unblocked, or whatever and has become less like an animal and more like a man. The other students go and hunt down Tristan psychically, and break into the place of the agency that caused all of them to mutate or whatever they are calling it. They get in a fight there with another creature like Tristan but with the mental block still in place so he's acting like an animal. The head Dr. at this project lets them escape. I like where this story is going but i really do need to go back and read 1 & 2 to get a better understanding of it. I realise they are trying to make these comics less compressed than alot of stories from the big 2, but its result is a loss of charaterzation, as theres not many of these charaters i really care about yet, but still its a good story.
The Authority Revolution #3- was barely able to finish this story, i kept getting up in the middle of it to go do other things. Really not digging this series at all.
Green Lantern Rebirth #3- Flashback city. Turns out Parallax (sp?) was something form the beginning of time, something yellow at that, that the Guardians trapped inside the main power battery on OA. Well it turns out Sinestro was also trapped in this battery (as read in the Emrald Twilight TPB i posted on earlier this week) apparently Sinestro woke up Parallax, and used him to taint Hal Jordan. Parallax was a yellow creature thus explaining why the GL rings always had a problem with the color yellow. Parallax and The Spectre and Hal are all arguing over his body and who's a part of whom. At the end, Sinestro shows back up.
Green Arrow #45- Enter Speedy (apparently GA's side kick? sounds more like a flash side kick, but i digress) I will just have to call her Speedy since i actually just looked and can't find her name anywhere in it. Speedy starts off the story with a sermon to her classmates on AIDS. felt like i was reading a pamplet on it, anyway, GA kicks Brick's ass with a Super Glue Arrow, and at the end the girl becomes Speedy with GA's approval.
Manhunter #5- Kate opens the story using her new suit in an old west town mock up, then goes to visit her kid at the hospital (she is the reason he is there) and finds out theres a temp. restraining order against her. the JLA comes in to meet her as her job as Fedral Prosecuter letting her know they will be looking for Shadow Theif who killed Fire Storm. Forgot to say earlier that in the new suit she has there was some built in light thingys that would allow her to hurt shadow theif. Anyway she goes and finds him and gives him an ass whipping and then the JLA show up and she decides she won't kill him there she will prosecute him in court and ask for the death penalty. I've been reading and enjoying this book for a few months now, and i really do like it and the IDC tie in was nice.
Teen Titans GO!- ugg, total and complete crap. im sure the kids love it, but not for me.
Ultimate Elektra #5- End of the series, Elektra kicks bullseyes ass and fixes everything by giving Fisk back the ledger. Of course Matt is disapointed in her. The series was OK and i will get the trade, but it wasn't great like alot of ultimate stuff is.
Astonishing X-Men #7- Wing took the mutant cure and is having problems with not being able to fly anymore. Kills himself by the end of the book. GREAT team up between the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, there were so many great moments. Collosus wind surfing on top of the x jet. Emma making comments like "I positively throb when he gets that tone" (talking about Cyclops ordering people around) and Kitty saying "Your not saying that would be nifty". and then later on in the book Emma: J. Jonah Jameson'll be tounge kissing Spider-Man before the X-Men catch a little public favor" and kitty saying "why do you insist on saying things i can never un-hear". those were great, and then you have the scene when you get to see what the x-men are thinking while they are fighting the monster. Colussus going on about how much Scott has changed and how he is diffrent from Prof. X. Kitty thinking about how she might be coming on too strong to Collosus. and then wolverine's thought. "I really like Beer". It was classic. One last moment and then i will stop gushing over this book like a school girl. The Thing says to Wolverine: Didn't they come up with a cure for your kind (meaning to imply the mutant cure from an earlier issue) and Wolverine says You got a problem with Mutants? and then Thing says I meant Canadians. I was bawling with laughter. by far the best book of the week.
