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.
