Comics i read this week!: April 26

From the library to unsuspecting book stores, and basically anywhere i can hitch a read, these are the comics fortunate enough to be read this week:

Road to Perdition


a good crime novel about one man's crusade to avenge his family murdered by the mob. theres sorta history reference and everything, but i didnt check to see if they were accurate. so i shall take the writers word that its all historically true. and i still dont get why the head poncho wanted lead in the lead. a little predictable and still i find history of violence to be superior. (not that its by the same writer or anything. but its more or less the same size and its sorta like a thriller read.) read it at one go due to its gripping tale and despite having other shit to do. i m suprised that tom hanks played the lead role of the dad. its currently 7.8 at imdb. havent check out the movie but definitely will if i have the chance.

its generally a great read for people, and maybe to those who cried when the Sopranos ended.

Superman: Escape from Bizarro World


eric powell geof johns and richard donner. what an incredible line up. you know you cant go wrong here. its gonna be incredible or at least an okay read. and basically, its an okay read. just a simple tale and fun interpretations of the opposites speeches of the bizarros. flash is fat and slow. batman is happy. green lantern is part of the sinestro corps. like what the hell! HAH! it also includes three other tales of Bizarro's appearance in Superman Golden age comics. even more wtf than the main story.

great to practise your reverse psychology with.

Comics i read this week!: March 22

From the library to unsuspecting book stores, and basically anywhere i can hitch a read, these are the comics fortunate enough to be read this week:

Flash: The Fastest Man Alive - Full Throttle


the 1 where bart allen meets the black flash, and we welcome our beloved wally west, linda park, and their teenaged newborns.
a dry read mostly and i m amongst the crowd who is finally glad to be rid of the impulsive bart whose life is always in such a mess. the plot twist are in abundance and its the only thing of interest. that, and Daniel Acuna's art is a rose amongst thorns!

who should bother: Flash fans who are interested in seeing bart die.

Superman/Batman Vol. 1: Public Enemies


Tim Sale and Jeph Loeb. every time these two work together, i MUST read the final outcome. however, tim does just a little intro short story to the book before the main story begins. drawn by the dynamic ed mcguinness, jeph uses alot of the caption narrative to let us into the two contrasting minds of our two favorite superheroes. and it goes like that all throughout the book. however, jeph delivers an exciting tale of superman being blamed for a kryptonite rock on its way to destroy earth and sets loose DC's all stars to bring him and batman(cos batman is a nosy parker) in. It was great but just before rushing a little just way at the end.

who should bother: anyone who loves superhero teams ups. and those people who wake up on weekends to catch batman: the brave and the bold, and/or justice league unlimited.
