 Avengers: The Children's Crusade #2
This book seems a bit late in that Heinberg pretty much picks up where he left off, ignoring most of the adventures that the team had in his absence. Also, it seems strange that Magneto and Quicksilver just now take an interest in the twins. The art is gorgeous and the dialogue sharp, but then we get another surprise ending out of nowhere featuring another major villain. This is Jeph Loeb-level storytelling.

 Batman #702 - disjointed. But, it does help some of the even more disjointed Final Crisis - RIP - ROBW stuff make a little more sense. 87 Views

 Highland Laddie #1 - Wee Hughie from The Boys goes home to clear his mind and try to sort out what he wants to do re: the recent events in the main title. In the usual Ennis fashion, one of his childhood friends is now a cross-dresser and the other apparently stinks so badly he has to wear a gas mask at all times. I might have misunderstood as this was full of dialogue that I do not fully understand. Where's me wee American-English dictionary, hen?

 Dark Avengers 1-15- My sister bought me a ton of comics for my birthday; a bunch of “runs” plus some trades. I am going to be reviewing them for the next couple of weeks in the Quick Fix. First up is Dark Avengers 1-15, plus the Utpoia storyline and crossover issues with the X Men. I liked this a whole hell of a lot more than I thought I would and The Goblin’s madness throughout is great. Sentry however, confused the hell out of me. I really wonder if this whole he is a drug addict thing was always what was planned when Bendis brought Sentry into the Avengers or if it was something he just cooked up.

on August 11, 2010, 08:01:00 PM Prof. Holmes’s secret formula for a being called “The Separated Man” is stolen and subsequently immense, disconnected body parts go on a rampage through the small town of Midville. The Teen Titans tackle the trouble head-on, trying to target the town’s teens for help and also seeking to clear Prof. Holmes of guilt in the incident. When the Separated Man finally pulls himself together, it looks dire for the teen heroes and the citizens of Midville.

on August 05, 2010, 06:58:00 PM Gotham City is plunged into chaos, the result of “time baths” courtesy of John Starr, the Time Commander. Starr, a self-proclaimed “20th Century Monte Cristo” seeks revenge for a supposed framing and dupes Green Lantern into charging him up with power ring energy. Having been zapped backwards in time, Batman and GL devise a clever strategy to use the chronal trap against their foe.

 The Mighty Crusaders #1 - Launch point for the mini - Durlan invasion, gov't sponsored super-team. Fly-Girl seems a bit of a forced name, but otherwise no complaints here.
