MOTW 11-4-09: Happy Festivus to all :

Secret Six #15 was a good story for those of us who don't know about Deadshot's history, and it seemed a lot better than Ostrander's Detective Comics fill-in stuff a few years back. Calafiore has some nice art as well:

Spoiler:


And Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love was a very good start, and seem to take place after Fables #75-76, in that area. It's a good story worth picking up in singles since the trade for War & Pieces (where this story jumps off from) has been available for months.

Just a fill-in because Nicola Scott is doing BN: WW.

I like his art, his angular style stands out, especially on his Exiles work. And he's a monthly artist.

Last page of Reborn was pretty Holy Shit for me, and for some reason I didn't see it coming despite the now fairly obvious foreshadowing. UCSM was all-around solid, and the AoNO iHerc preview one-shot had some great Spider-man/Herc moments.

Finally I decided on a whim to pick up the hardcover collection of that 5 issue Sherlock Holmes miniseries from Dynamite and it's a very nice package. Along with the mini you get the script book for issue 1 and the Devil's Foot short story from Sir Author Conan Doyle himself.

My MOTW is the fact that IDW released a three page preview of Transformers #1, the first in the new ongoing that will start November 18th.
Unfortunately, it has Major Fucking Spoilers, and I'm not too fond of the art style, but I'm pleased they're actually showing something, and that they're even bothering with an ongoing.

How did you not see that coming, Wirehead? Ahaha. It's been implied for like, forever!

The Assault on New Olympus one-shot was probably my moment of the week. Herc fighting Spider-Man was pretty great.

Got Doom Patrol for the yellow ring. The ring is pretty cool. The comic wasn't anything special.

I liked Great Ten #1, but maybe it's just because I've been starving for these characters since 52. I feel like they're going to want to steer it towards some mainstream DCU cameos for it to get attention.

I really love the way Hitch draws Latveria, and Brubaker's writing kinda makes me wish he had done the Fantastic Four run with Hitch, but did anyone else think Spoiler:
Good book non the less

Also last page of Necrosha was nice

Captain America Reborn #4:

My favorite part is that this story has boiled down to a battle of the minds: Reed Richards vs Doctor Doom.

Last page of Reborn was pretty shocking.

USM #4 has this really really good scene between MJ and Peter (I really dig Lafuente's art but he's drawing MJ too much like Gert or "fat girl with glass"):

Spoiler:


I get the feeling Bendis is focusing his attention on USM again instead of his Avenger books.

Who is the normal USM artist? Was it Mark Bagley? I guess DC stole him, huh...

I like the USM cast members all now have looks that are pretty distinct from their mainstream counterparts. It signifies that the book isn't just about a teenage version of Spider-Man anymore.

Peter Parker, you told that girl you would like to marry her. You told her that you loved her. And now instead of going out with the hot redhead, you are going out with Gwen Stacy who eats with her mouth open.

Sort yourself out.

Isn't that the definition of a highschool romance?

After seeing a late-night movie about two drunk co-eds and a pizza delivery boy, I think I've come upon a very creative solution to this problem.

No! Peter Parker and Mary Jane's love is pure! PURE! And if they trample all over it in 616 then they should at least let us keep the teenage equivalent in the Ultimate Universe, god damn it!

What does Peter getting a job delivering pizza have to do with anything? Oh...wait. You want Gwen and MJ to become friends again adn bond over a pizza. That makes more sense.
