You wouldn’t have expected Jeff Lemire to have got the 8th issue of Sweet Tooth wrong, would you? Nah, there’s no twist here (although there is one at the end), this is another compelling piece of work by Lemire. Something that has worked with him throughout this series has been the co-ordination of his story writing and art work. Being the story writer and the artist isn’t easy, but I would say it definitely does help as it aids synchronization of the whole process.

If you haven’t noticed as yet Cable #25 is actually Deadpool and Cable #25. The title isn’t the only thing that they’ve changed, we see a new story writer as well as an arter, wait… artist! Duane Swierczynski being the story writer and Paco Medina being the artist. They bring together something really special in this issue, making it a really fun to read comic. The Assault On New Olympus is underway and Incredible Hercules #139 has plenty of action through the whole issue. There are plenty of great match-ups like Spider-Man vs. Arachne, Wolverine vs. Cephalus, and Pym vs. Argus. The issue starts off with everyone talking about Continuum before quickly jumping into the action. What is Continuum? Well, you will find out in this issue. Haunt #4 begins with Amanda Kilgore safely being escorted to a safehouse by some “men in black”. Wait…did I say safely? I mean her ride goes south and Kurt/Daniel quickly spring into action by jacking a sports car from the garage. After barreling through downtown traffic he quickly dispatches a few enemies before Cobra shows up to give him a great fight. However, this final fight leaves Daniel so weak that he collapses and wakes up in a hospital bed. Will he be able to soldier on? This issue of Uncanny X-Men starts with a bang and end with the even bigger one. Action-packed from start to finish the book focuses mainly on the creation of an X-Men nation and the ensuing action and drama it creates. Based on what I’ve seen, this comic book marks the beginning of a beautiful series. All about the recruitment of Jessica Drew, a.k.a. Spider-Woman, the beginning is little confusing starting off with a depiction of her being depressed and suicidal. Not much is done to explain this either, but luckily the stories soon turns to what we all wanted, the story of how Spider-Woman started working for S.W.O.R.D. |
