While I was able to review Battle for the Cowl #3, Bleach, and Code Geass here at the Legacy and post reviews for the Comic Book Cartoons and Superman/Batman #60 over at the Rokk's Comic Book Revolution I wasn't able to find time the past few days to post reviews here for the other comics I got this past week. I've been busy working on this redevelopment project the past few days so I haven't found the time to do much blogging after Memorial Day. Still I thought I would post the weekly comic book highlights of the week though I should be able to post reviews next week and I'm thinking of reviewing the first part of "American Son" from Amazing Spider-Man. Also before going into the highlights for the week I thought I share a cool thing I saw yesterday while driving home: Optimus Prime on the Luxor Casino.
I was a bit surprising seeing Optimus their promoting the upcoming movie as it was the first time I saw it and I just wondering how long its been up their for. Anyways here are the comic book highlights for this week:
I really like Francis Manapul work and I thought he did a great job with this cover and I like the little touch of Batman's cape having Gothropolis on it.
Spider-Man pulls of his best Daredevil impersonation as he allows his Spider-Sense let him know were the new Vulture will attack from.
I guess this is the marriage that is being advertised in the future issues of Amazing Spider-Man. I wonder since Aunt May has always been like a mother to Peter doesn't this marriage make Peter and J. Jonah Jameson Jr. brothers now? I hope the marriage does happen just to see how Peter and JJJ Jr. interact as brothers.
I am really excited for "American Son" and can't wait to see Spider-Man finally tackle his number one villain now in control of all of the security for the United States.
Hm, so with so many heavy hitters they still can't fight off a gang war that is against mostly villains and gangs with no superpowers.
This dialogue was probably the best dialogue Tony Daniel provided in the whole mini-series.
I still don't get why it wasn't Two-Face or Penguin who blew up Gotham City as Black Mask didn't appear much for supposedly being the villain of the series, or at least second villain.
Even though I still question the move to make Daniel the writer of the series I love all of his artwork for this series and that is one of the things I would not question is the man art abilities.
So I guess this is were the Robin mantle switches hands right.
Here it is three issues to get to the outcome most, if not all, Batman fans predicted: Dick Grayson as the new Batman and Damien Wayne as the new Robin.
What better way to spend your birthday than being chased by guys on rocket packs while shooting rockets at you.....
how about being attacked by Nazis on your 18th birthday.
Even though this was mostly a filler issue it was nice to see Bucky get a nice moment with his new family.
Just an example of the phenomenal work by Marcos Martin. Marvel needs to put Martin on the Avengers or another Spider-Man story.
Interesting combinations to create the Justice Titans.
Well at least we learn their names, to bad other than Night Lantern the Justice Titans weren't given much dialogue in this issue.
It was obvious we would see an amalgam of Lex Luthor and Joker but Manapul does great work with the character design.
Even in the Marvel Universe Wolverine is the most overexposed superhero. That's saying something.
Ron Garney did a great job illustrating this fight sequence between Wolverine and the Adamantium men. It should be one of the fights of the year.
While this is an overused splash page I can't wait to see how Wolverine is able to take each one down in the next issue.
