Looking To The Stars: The Week In Reviews

Archive

I’m a bit spoiled for choice about one thing in particular to write about this week. Can’t make up my mind, so we’re going to cover everything I’ve read this past week. But just to make it interesting, I shall once again challenge myself with a self-imposed limit on words. One sentence, that’s all.

ACTION COMICS #834

Nice to see the Queen of Fables back.

AQUAMAN #37

I think the only Aquaman villain we don’t see here is The Fisherman.

AUTHORITY THE MAGNIFICENT KEVIN #5 (OF 5)

I miss Garth Ennis’ Hitman… but this helps stave the want a bit.

FABLES #44

Still one of my favorite books, even if the ending this time was a bit of a cop out.

GREEN ARROW #57

No comment until next month.

HAWKMAN #47

I thought Rann/Thanagar was over?

JLA #123

Note to Judd Winick – HERE is how to write Oliver Queen!

NIGHTWING #115

Man, that Deathstroke does get around.

SUPERMAN TRUE BRIT SC

Brilliant!

TEEN TITANS #30

The Captain Carrot comic is the best bit of satire in a comic page in forever.

BOOKS OF DOOM #2 (OF 6)

Sadly, this is ten times better than anything being done with Fantastic Four elsewhere and the best treatment Doom had in a while.

GHOST RIDER #4 (OF 6)

For that matter, I miss Garth Ennis’ Preacher too.

GLX-MAS SPECIAL

Worth getting even without the official Marvel Legends action figure promotion.

MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #21

Turns out he was only MOSTLY Dead!

PUNISHER SILENT NIGHT

For those of you offended by silly comics like GLX, try this!

SECRET WAR: BOOK FIVE (OF 5)

It’s finally out, so we can all go back to forgetting it ever existed.

SON OF M #1 (OF 6)

Peter Parker Pimp-Slaps Pietro.

ULTIMATE IRON MAN #5 (OF 5)

See: SECRET WAR #5

WHAT IF? WOLVERINE

So basically, this is “What if Wolverine Were The Punisher?”

Tune in next week. Same Matt time. Same Matt website.

He stands at the center of the universe, old as the stars and wise as infinity. And he can see the turning of the last page long before you’ve even started the book. He’s like rain and fog and the chilling touch of the grave. He is called many names in a thousand tongues on a million worlds. Heckler. The Smirking One. Riffer. The Lonely Magus. Wolf-Brother. The God of Snark. Mister Pirate. The Guy In The Rafters. Captain. The Voice In The Back. But here and now, in this place and in this time, he is called The Starman. And... he's wonderful.
