Weekly Reader, June 24, 2024

[Perry]

Sooo, much damn carry-over from last week. 
*sigh*

Plus, I've been missing my beloved F.F so I am going to check in with them, if I get time. Plus I know there will be at least one more Hoopla drop that I want to add (Redcoat or Rook most likely). Man, I hate the feeling of "having to read", instead of "wanting to" and that is what I feel when the list gets too long. It isn't quite to that overwhelming point yet, but I better read this week, damn it!

Oh well... here we go...

**************************************

Wolverine - Meh, this isn't terrible, but the shine has worn by a good bit over the last few issues

Fantastic Four - Ya know... yes, I am glad I read this. Is this a game changer? Not at all, but yeah, a cool one and done story with some not horrible art, showcasing the FF and their powers. Also started/ended with a great reminder on the situation with young Franklin Richards and his omniscient powers. Will I be reading next month? Perhaps, and that may sound like small praise, and I guess it is, but the way the FF title has gone for me over the past few years, "perhaps" is pretty darn good

**************************************

X-Men - Had actually already read this when I posted last time, I guess that sums up my feelings. Forgettable writing. Bah

X-Men Forever - We all know where this is going, but with Gillen I actually enjoy the journey.

Fall of House X - I mean, its fine, nothing bad, not really, but I find when Duggan is writing the x stuff the only thing I usually end up feeling is either anger or apathy. The latter here. Just want this to be over

Thor - This was AMAZING!!! Was it the "after Duggan effect"? Perhaps, but I really enjoyed this and it's explanation of what is going on with the elder gods. Good stuff and once again, another very cool artist on this title.

GL: War Journal - I am hoping I was just not in the mood for this story. I am kind of losing interest in this title now. Maybe it is me.

Miracleman - Loved it!! I have always wanted to read Alan Moore's take on this (totally stolen from Shazam) British property, and I think I read the first couple issues when Marvel rereleased them, but it wasn't an easy read and I think I bailed far too quickly. Well when Hoopla brought Neil Gaiman's  "Silver Age" trade of this series to borrow, I tried to find the first part of his run (The Golden Age) to no avail. No Moore's first run either (which should be read first) but I decided to dive in regardless. WOW! This is Shazam meets Nexus meets Sentry meets a little bit of the Authority. Just so damn good. And sad as now I have to wait for the final arc; The Dark Age! And that is IF Marvel still prints it. DAMN IT, I need the ending now, they better not cancel it!!

Rook - Three months, three changes to my favorite John's title. This title won the issue #3 battle between this months offerings by finally diving deeper into the mythos of the characters and their connections.Really liked this issue. I also think the Gary Frank snuck a panel or two inside here 

Redcoat - I still enjoy this title, but yeah, I rank this in the last place this month, behind both Geiger (2nd) and Rook (1st). If things hold true however, issue #4 will find it back on top of the Johns'verse.
