1000 comics in 2012 book club

ASM #671-#673 & Annual #39

 

Finally caught up with Spidey before the big change with #700. More entertaining writing from Dan Slott, including a decent Lizard story but the Sinister Six arc went on for too long and Alpha is extremely irritating.

Avenging Spider-Man: #1-#12

 

Or the new Marvel Team-Up. Some hit, some miss. Two really good issues from a writer new to me - Zeb Wells - and some awful Deadpool nonsense at the end.

 

Is Deadpool the worst comic book character ever created?

Kick was a cool book. I am happy I've seen the movie first. Not sure how I would have liked the movie if I would have read the comic first as the comic ruleZ. On the other hand they did good with the movie as some of that stuff would not work on screen.

I actually preferred the movie to the comic, though I did watch/read in that order.

Powers volume 2: #0 - #30 & Annual 2008.

 

The switch from Image to Marvel is not a smooth one, and the stories suffer for this. Turning Walker into Hal Jordan is not a great plot development. Still a better read than most of the new DC books.
