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.
