I set up a new comic blog here, check it out:

less of a review and more of a funny coincidence

I'm reading Journey into Mystery #87 and it seems to match up with Tales to astonish #65-67

in this one Thor [as don blake] is hypnotized [for the second time I might add, since he was controlled by loki in #85] is captured by communists

the same thing [minus the hypnosis] happened to the hulk during the mini-arc of 65-67, I still haven't read #67, but it seems pretty good

Digital Spiderman is a great series, or at the very least pretty good

I read many digital comics, but this one is different...it reads very quickly and sometimes uses digital tricks to do unique things [see the comic itself]

when I read classic comics I take my time, but this is well done in the fact that it's almost like a portable game [where I can use it for a quick read]

go check it out on marvel digital if you haven't already

note: based on wikipedia it's ongoing..but can anybody confirm that the series is over or not for me?

sorry about the watermark...let me know if it's bearable [I like the software a lot]

So I went to the comic store this weekend and picked out some books, including my first dip into the new 52...and my first superman comic! I got Action Comics #1 [yes the new one! there's no way I could get the original]. I got the second printing version, and I think that the 2ed cover looked cooler. If anyone could tell me where to find all the different covers for AC #1 I'd be really happy [are there really only 2 covers? I'd be surprised]. I'm a big fan of Grant Morrison, so I can't wait to read it. Next I got a prologue issue for "Fear Itself" since I want to try to catch up. Speaking of catching up, I got schism prelude #1 and Schism #1 for x-men since the event seems to be critical. I got the new avengers 1959 based on the site review [thanks comicvine!]. Next out of my bag is a spiderman preview book, and at this point I want to say that I'm psyched about Avenging spiderman. and on the topic of the digital release...I honestly don't care since I don't own a kindle/I-phone/I-Pad ect. meaning that I'd have no way to redeem the polybagged code for the app, otherwise it's a good idea for everyone else. Since I fallow batman I had to get Detective comics #1-2 :).

Now unto my main review: I loved Wolverine [vol.2] #6. The art is as stylized as always. [note that I tend not to fallow certain artists/writers since I'm mostly just into reading whatever the character is in..so I don't really care who the artist is, but the style for this book is more of a watercolor/paint effect so it is worthy of a mention.] Wolverine AKA Patch is faced with two very powerful villains who are pretty much invincible. The cover shows both antagonists off well. I really like Roughhouse [who shares his name with the title of the story within the issue]. He is a gaint man of Asgardian origin [kind of a spoiler..but I was curious to see why he was so powerful] and he really poses a threat to wolvie here..throwing him all around the place. There is also bloodsport who [using some kind of black magic?] can suck blood from people by touching them, he is seriously weird/creepy looking. Overall the issue had great action and art..i'd give it a 8/10 on it's own. My only real complaint is that this comic is loaded with side characters...5 allies of wolverine + the main character and 3 villains, I just thought that there were too many companions to keep track of.

hopefully more news coming from me soon :) see ya!

well today I read Tales to Astonish #60 from essential hulk where hulk shared a book with giant man

unfortunately only the hulk stories are included, and that's too bad since all my knowledge of giant man comes from the [amazing] avengers cartoon

to the point...the story features a spy who jumps into a indestructible anti-atomic bomb suit made by banner, even the hulk can't destroy the thing!

the next cover [#61] names him as 'Android' (there is a tag for him on the site, but there is no information on the page :( )

I'm also reading (online) Spider man family #4 [for some reason I had a collection of 1-3 sitting around in my house..and it featured the black suit :) ]

the cool thing is that SF includes the Untold Tales of spider man, and they are great stories..so i'm going to try to collect more..I already collected #3-4 as separate issues

once again to the point..SF #4 guest stars Agents of Atlas, a pretty wacky miss-mash team..it also includes a robot. I love how spidy calls him Gort :) (from the day the earth stood still)

overall I'd recommend looking for Untold Tales of spiderman..in the meantime i'll be reading more stories and posting my thoughts

it's funny how DC wants to attract new readers and yet now i'm "behind" by 52 books already

ok well if you knew this already good for you
marvel has re-released some old issues as jumping points for $1
now I picked up deadpool [vol.4] #1 and it was ok and it was cheap!
now across from that I saw this "marvels greatest comics" up top and on the cover... "one more day"

Hulk vs. the...frog men? no really 
and they use magnetic weapons,they should look up magneto
and they think Bruce banner is the smartest person on earth...hello? ever heard of Reed Richards? or tony stark?

if anyone can help me out i'm thinking of reading and tell me what you think I should do,
looking for a yes or no and a opinion,not what to read
Namor [i'm currently reading first mutant and want to read more]
Superman [why not?]
Teen Titans [I used to watch the cartoon and the series looks cool]
