Comic Book Reviews for 6/13

So, this week was a pretty good week for comics, for me. I enjoyed Countdown #46, Justice #12 didn't let me down, and World War Hulk #1 rocked so hard it isn't even funny (and I almost didn't bother with this book at all). Cable & Deadpool #41 was okay, but it could have been better. Expand for Reviews & Spoilers!


Justice #12 -- Finally, we have come to the end for this bimonthly title. Justice was so awesome throughout that I hated to see the end. I truly enjoyed this title, especially since there was Captain Marvel love throughout the series. Where am I going to get my Captain Marvel fix now, cause Trials of Shazam sucks hard. Monster Society of Evil was slightly better, but I didn't like the changes that much. Any how, back on topic! I recommend this entire series now that it's complete.

Countdown #46 - What can I say about this book? Black Mary is full of win so far, I'm curious as to what will happen after being hit by whatever it is that she was hit with. Jason Todd was in this book as well, which made me a VERY happy Stan. Say what you will about the character, I love JT. Hmmm... Jason and Donna Troy? I wouldn't be adverse to that relationship! The Multiverse thing is already annoying, so I just enjoy the characters I like. I'm hoping that Jimmy Olsen bites the big one, but you know he'll come back to life if he does. Either way, this series is the bomb so far.

World War Hulk #1 -- I've said it once, and I'll say it again: the next few years of Marvel comics are going to be filled with Iron Man getting his ass kicked by everyone. And rightfully so. Civil War left a BAD taste in my mouth, and now I despise the Iron Man character. I was rooting like hell for Hulk in this book, and I wasn't let down. I want Hulk to fuck up everyone involved in messing up his life. I do wonder how this ties in with the latest New Avengers book (which I haven't read YET) -- but I highly doubt Iron Man is dead yet.

Cable & Deadpool #41 -- This series has been getting better after a slag there in the middle. The only thing I don't like is the Cable/Domino pairing. I like Cable better with Irene -- Domino bores me to death. I'm loving this new character "Bob" -- the whole idea of it is hilarious! Outlaw is a favorite as well as Agent X (wonder if he still has that disease/impediment?). All I need now is some Taskmaster added to the mix and I'll be a happy girl.
