another weekly comic reviews

Hey Guys,

part 4 and 5 of the forever evil reviews will come shortly this week. Until then here are some comics that are not from DC and might be easy to get in to. So lets get started.


Up first is.......     FF#12

Like any of the previous issues of the FF, they're a fun read, wouldn't feel lost in the story and makes you want to read more. But for those who can't find all the previous issues here is a quick recap. The original Fantastic Four are on a trip that travels through space and time. While there gone they left some replacements in charge as the new Fantastic Four and leaders of the Future Foundation while they're away. The comic focuses on the new team that has Ant-man, She-Hulk, Medusa and Ms. Thing along with the members of the Future Foundation which are kids. In this series the team tries to save the Fantastic Four who are now lost in time. Now that is out of the way lets start the comic.

Like the last issue its still a fun read, but unlike the last issue it had a different writer. Which is not bad cause the new writer is trying to finish what the last writer was doing and didn't mess it up as some people thought it would. The issue has a bit of romance between Ant-man (Scott Lang) and Ms. Thing (Darla Deering) which is actually not bad.  I do feel bad that most of the crazy characters all want to kill the future version of Johnny Storm who may be part of an evil plot made by Kang. Although here he's the teenager who quit being the hero called Iron Lad and before he became Kang so I guess he's calling himself Kid Immortus (I guess he's not good at names). There are scenes that show the new character Adolf Impossible who is a new character that came in last issue and he is awesome to have in the story. Other then that it was a fun read and I suggest anyone to pick this along with any other issue of FF up.


Next we have.....    The Powerpuff Girls #1

IDW has finally publish the first of many comics for cartoon network. Unlike a certain kids comic from IDW it was a fun read. I may be a little bias cause I enjoyed Powerpuff Girls as a kid. It feels like an episode of Powerpuff girls and I like how the characters still stayed the same. I like the fact that they make fun of there own puns and that they are trying something new that I can get behind in. Unfortunately this comic is not an origin story so new readers will probably be lost on who the characters are. This comic is aimed for the older fans who watched the Powerpuff Girls when they were a kid. The weird part is that the girls fight a rip-off version of Man-thing who apperently loves to golf. Besides that weird scene we do get to see that the villain Mojo Jojo is really depressed and would love to see where that goes. If your a fan of Powerpuff Girls, pick up this issue, it has a nostlagic feel for when you enjoyed it as a kid.

Next is......    Superior Spider-man Team-up #3

This one is a bit weird. Its a tie-in for the newest event comic Infinity. Unless you've read the new series 'Mighty Avengers' and the event comic you might get a little lost. Not too much that its a bad story. Unlike what Marvel was telling us what to expect in this comic Spider-man (Doc Ock) does not team-up with Sun Girl. infact I don't think this is a team-up at all unless you count some of the members of the mighty Avengers. It introduces a new character called Fulmina who might be marvel's new hero or villain. I'm not sure cause this is part 1 of a 2 parter comic. I love the fact that Doc Ock acutally tries to help this new character and it might end up blowing up in his face. This issue is skippable as a team-up book, but its not bad as a tie-in book. Its pretty much self contained and shows more of Doc Ock being a really good super hero. Its not really a must read but its okay.

And last......    Uncanny Avengers #12

Now this is a bit weird cause this isn't a comic you can just walk into but Marvel insisted that it's a new story arc. Its actually just that start of the second half of the major story arc featuring the Apocolypse twins. You do get the idea where everything is and what the backstory of this really quickly so thats a plus. the art's not bad and the story so far is really good considering its written by Rick Remender. Although I do like the Uncanny Avengers series, who might have to read Rick's other series called Uncanny X-Force which helps in getting the full picture on what the hell is going on. It's only a must read if you have been reading the last few issues of Uncanny Avengers and to see Kang's time traveling plans just fall apart like a house of cards.

Thats all I have for now and hope to see you again.

weekly comic reviews with other comics

Since I'm attending the Ottawa International Animation Festival this week, there will be no video this week. Don't worry there will be a video for this week but will be coming next week (hopefully early next week). However this dosen't stop me to at least let you guys know of comics you can start reading and enjoy without hunting down other comics you missed to get the story.

To start of lets begin with Adventure Time #20

There's a little trend were Adventure time likes to have a one-shot story before starting another 4 issue story arc. This issue is a bit weird. It's called Adventure Me, where it tries to make you part of the story and look like your interacting with the characters Finn and Jake. Its a quick read but you have a lot of fun reading it. Since you see Finn and Jake fighting Ice King with a possesed Gumball Guardian, that just catches your attention and want to see what happens next. the only downside is that you see through another character eyes which is block have the time. Kinda like that one powerpuff girls episode where we only see the show through the eyes of the mayor. However you forgive the comic for that once you see once who's point of view we're seeing. for fans of that character your in for a rel treat. This issue is skippable but its still a fun read.

Up next, Bravest Warriors #12

This is another one-shot, kinda like the last three issues of Bravest Warriors. However this issue is paper thin for a story with two of the main chacters join a tornament only to end up with broken arms. This is a fun read cause this does feel like an episode of Bravest Warriors. There is another story in the comic, but its just as quick as the other story. Even though this is printed as a kids book this is no way ment for children. Maybe for pre-teens and teenagers, but I wouldn't pick this up for kids. That doesn't mean you shouldn't by the comic. If your a fun of Adventure time then your going to get a kick out of reading Bravest Warriors (both are created by Pendelton Ward) for characters who are insane most of the time going on wacky adventures.

Now on to Doctor Who #13

I'm a huge Doctor Who and this comic does not dissapoint. Its about the Doctor teaming up with Oscar Wilde trying to stop an undead gunslinger who kills people with his finger (finger acts like a gun). If that doesn't get fans of Doctor Who to pick up this issue I don't know what does. The art is a lot better then some of the other modern doctor who comics and the story is off at a promesing start for a 4 issue story arc. The only downside is if have watched all the doctor who episodes, then you know that the Dcotor has already been to the wild west before. Also if you have seen all the episodes then you know the Doctor and his companion Clara Oswald will live past this adventure. The bright side is this comic is the fact that the bad guy of the week is unknown to everyone including the Doctor and its always fun to see new mysteries in Doctor Who that works so well with the story. It also shows scenes of Clara talking to Oscar Wilde (kinda like Donna Noble and Agatha Christie) which is always fun to see a companion messing with time and the Doctor a little bit. This comic is a must read for all Doctor Who fans and thoughs who want to be Doctor Who fans.


Now last, but certainly not least, Mega Man #29

If you haven't read last issue of Mega Man, no worries the comic pretty much explains what happen in the last comic butting you and Mega Man up to speed. This is still part 1 of a 4 issue story arc about a video game that never made it in the U.S. called Rockman Adventures. The story of the game is that an ancient evil computer called Ra Moon who covers the world in a E.M.P. field that stops all technology in the world and Mega Man mst stop him before the its too late for man kind. Since not a lot of people have played the game (for those who can't get a copy of it) there's room for some changes of the story, but still keeps it close to the source material of the game. Unlike the game Mega Man doesn't come alone. He goes in with robot masters Guts Man, Cut Man and Bomb Man to save the world along with Roll who was injured in the last issue. I also like the fact that Doctor isn't the main villain of the comic as he normal is in every other issue. The interier art is fun to look at and the story keeps you into it and makes you want to know what hapens next. The only downside I'm seeing is the cover. The one I have that you see is a variant cover and its okay. Its good, but not as great as the normal cover you would normaly see at stores. This comic is a must read and is the closest thing to Rockman Adventures we'll ever going to get.

Hope this helps to finding good comics this week and I'll see you guys later. 

Weekly Comic Reviews #15 - Forever Evil part 3

Weekly reviews on other comics

If you've been watching my weekly comic reviews you may have notice I've been trapped in a lantern ring by an evil version of myself. But just because I'm trapped in a ring doesn't mean I can't do some reviews on comics.

Lets start with .... Adventure Time: Candy Capers #3 of 6

Like the last issue its pretty much another team-up of characters you never expect to team-up and be heroes (ex.Marceline and Treetrunks). This time its the Earl of Lemongrab and Lumpy Space Princess having to deal with six kinds of were-wolfs who all want Wolf mountain to be their new home. Thats only half the story as Peppermint Butler and Cinnamon Bun are looking for Finn and Jake in the afterlife thinking they might have died somewhere. This all looks fun and will get you in the story on where Finn and Jake are. This and the previous two issues are a fun read. If your already an Adventure Time fan you'll like the jokes and the weird team-ups of characters you never expect to team up. For those who are not Adventure Time fans, you'll learn that the people can't survive for more then 5 mins when Finn and Jake are away.



Next up..... Astro City #4

Like any issue of Astro City it manly focus on characters you never expect along with the many super heroes that appear in the city. This issue focuses on Martha Sullivan (or Sully as you soon learn in the comic). She has telekinetic powers and is kidnapped by a new villain (who can't come up with good names) called The Majordomo. However this comic shows a lot of flashbacks on why she doesn't use her powers to be a super hero or villain. She learns that there more ways to live with powers then just those two choices and that she is not alone. Sully is actually an interesting character. This comic really shows what someone with superpowers would actually do with their powers instead of the same trope of power corrupts. I highly recommend reading this issue along with any other issue of Astro City.


And Last........Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Micro-Series #6 Featuring ...... Hun

I'll just get this out of the way since you learn this at the very start of the comic ( and those of you who are reading the current ninja turtle comic). Hun is the father of Casey Jones. I know it sounds weird but hear me out. If your reading the current ninja turtle comic by IDW you already know that Casey's dad was a abusive drunk who was wasting his life away after Casey's mom died. In the current story arc 'City Fall' Casey was stab by Shredder and taking to a hospital. This gets Hun to get his act together, but he gets help from the Shredder (not knowing that Shredder was the one who harmed his kid). He gets back into shape by using the ooze and taking back contole of the purple dragons to work for the Shredder. Its really cool that Hun is now the only mutant that dosen't have any animal parts and will have lots of stories to tell now that we know Casey is his son. However this comic is not as good as the previous villain comics which is sad cause the writer is trying to make him into a ends justify the means kind of villain. which dosen't seem to catch my interest as much as you would think. However I'm willing to give it a shot since the writer for the current series might do a better job on Hun. Still it was a fun read and recommend all ninja turltes fans to buy it. Thats all I have for know so thanks for reading and a video will come soon.
