 Irredeemable #26 - Plutonian and his new 'ally' work their way further down into the prison planet in their attempt to escape. Plutonian seems to be putting together a team of superpowered crazies along the way, which is probably going to be very bad for the folks back on Earth.336 Views

on June 03, 2011, 12:54:00 PM Well, it sure has been an interesting week. The interwebs are aflame with the news of a "reboot-not-a reboot-well maybe it's sort of a reboot" from you.
My thoughts have ranged all over the place so this is my attempt at getting them all down.
I've been posting on the Mess for a couple of years now. I've always been very free with my opinions, but I'm not normally one to pre-judge. I'm too experienced, and have seen great ideas flop (All Star Batman comes to mind) and what seemed to be poor ideas on the surface turn out well (crippling of Barbara Gordon). So patience is a virtue.

 Lone Ranger #25 - Cavendish's fate revealed, Tonto makes peace with his tribe, and the Ranger tells the gov't he might be willing to work with them when it suits his own purpose. I really liked this book, but with the long time between issues I'm honestly kinda glad this is the endgame. 236 Views

 Avengers #12.1
Bryan Hitch used to get a lot of flack for being an Alan Davis knock-off. They both changed styles over time and Hitch's star ascended. Meanwhile, Alan Davis has been getting less primo assignments and for whatever reason, slanting everything. It appears that he's grown out of that phase, but now Hitch has picked it up. His torsos have been elongated as well. I don't think I'm being overly harsh considering this issue was designed to pull in new readers. Best foot forward and all of that. Bendis has some issues as well. Steve Rogers has never heard of S.W.O.R.D.? How did he come up with the "handpicked" team? How come this Avenger team hasn't starred in their own book for seven issues? Also, Awesome Andy without his chalkboard makes me sad.214 Views
