Legion of Super-Heroes #293

Hoopla

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

Ultimates - Good issue, mostly as it made me really like two characters (She-Hulk and Hawkeye) that I had little to zero interest in before this issue. Don't get me wrong, there was nothing done that made me like them, but they just hit for me here. Also liked the ending

ULTIMATES #7 - Just an ok issue. I kind of wish this would move faster.

WOLVERINE #4 - New arc but I'm not sure I'm feeling it for this title.  I'll give it one more issue to pull me in.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4 - Donetello.  Another good issue.  This one was especially good.  Time for some ninja power!

———————————————————————————————

UNCANNY X-MEN #7 - lots of battle. Me likey.  But I'm not buying that the two X-Teams would be fighting each other here.  Still was a fun read and I like the cliff hanger.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 5- Brutal issue focusing on the new DA going after the turtles.  Rough origin.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 6 - Together at last! And in a big mess! Great issue bringing all the tension to a build up.

[Jimmy T]

You gonna hold off on reading TMNT 7? It's out there! and I'm going to read it

[Jimmy T]

So I read....

MARVEL
Ultimates 7 - still building slow, but interesting
Uncanny X-men 7 - half an issue recap of the prior issue; c'mon let's go!!

hoopla
TMNT 7 - so cool; love the coloring and look of the book here
TMNT vol 1 (2010) -back to where it all (re)started! Kevin Eastman, original creator, back with others to restart and make a continuity, and a new concentrated direction -that lead to 150 issues over the next 14 years!
Black Hammer The End -And I've finished it! Thanks for all that leading to this! But I am done! Thank you Lemire!
Halo & Hornsby 2 - a bigger punch to what the big story could/should be. This could be interesting

[Jimmy T]

Coming up tomorrow, found in my cheating manner of finding the page to be loaded tomorrow:

GL Corps 1 -yes, the Corps returns! Another GL book!
Aquaman 2
Action 1083
Batman  & Robin 18 -I'm gonna keep recommending this book, since issue 14!!!
And I already read Absolute Batman 5

[Gay Titan]

I am going to echo Jimmy. I have been reading B&R since 15 or 16 and it's a consistently good read.

———————————————————————————————

GREEN LANTERN CORPS #1 - Decent start for a first issue.  I'll give this a first arc look for sure.

Legion of Super-Heroes #293 - the big reveal!  The Great Darkness saga reveals the identity of the villain and sets things up for the final battle next issue.  Giffens art stands up to the test of time as well as does this, the most epic Legion story of all time. That's right it's still awesome.

[Jeff]

Hmmmm.  I may give B&R a chance with TWO recommendations!

[Jimmy T]

I am going to echo Jimmy. I have been reading B&R since 15 or 16 and it's a consistently good read.

You guys should listen to us! Just read 18 and it's still really good!!

[Jimmy T]

So I read....

MARVEL

Uncanny X-men 7 - half an issue recap of the prior issue; c'mon let's go!!

Halo & Hornsby 2 - a bigger punch to what the big story could/should be. This could be interesting

AND

Barbaric Vol 1 - this is fun stuff! Ready to go for volume 2 ! Curses! Undead! Talking Axe that wants blood, but only of the evil!

DC
GL Corps 1 -yes, the Corps returns! Another GL book! And I really dug it!
Aquaman 2 -Visiting history to the character, setting a new far out stage. Art doesn't win the book for me, but the background and design of nature was awesome!
Action 1083 - art poor, Ridley story good, if not very quick considering its only 3 parters
Batman  & Robin 18 -I'm gonna keep recommending this book, since issue 14!!! -still so cool! Really like this A LOT, and a helluva ending!! If you guys want a more defined Damian story, this is the place for it!!!

Must...resist...Legion 296 !!!

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

Savage Sword - A spectacular return for Roy Thomas with writing his ole buddy Conan. Everything happens as expected, haha, it is Conan after all, but really enjoyed this. The black and white De la Torre art is also a winner. This is the first issue to truly bring back the feel of my time first reading the original Savage Sword, back in Jr High-School. And that back-up story? Ha, another awesome addition. I don't recall reading about this character here in the back-up story, a Breckenridge Elkins, but damn if Patrick Zircher didn't deliver with this story. And the art here? Also so damn good. Going to have to keep my eye out for more from this one!!

Batman and Robin - This was good, didn't blow me away, but dialog was tight and Damian was Damian and I do like that. I also understand that this is, in essence, a number one for me, so being blown away already was a steep hurdle. I am sure I will like it more as it builds on the solid start. I will add that the art was a little frustrating at times (the appearance of Damien's age kept changing, that bothered me a little), but it was also very serviceable and almost has a cool painted style when viewing in panel mode. Not brush stroke'y, but more watercolor'y    As Batman is always a favorite and I liked the antagonist, or what we see at least, yeah, I will give #15 a shot to further pull me in. Thanks Jimmy/Rodney

Hellblazer - Another talky issue, but it kind of sold itself as a Christmas issue, because it was a Christmas issue I guess... haha... so I can forgive it for that. It was jovial, something that I am not used to with Constantine. 

Legion - Another good issue. I wonder... does DC/Levitz/Giffen ever touch on what occurred here with Daxam. It could literally happen in the next issue or never. I truly can't remember.

GL Corps - I liked this a ton, but primarily for the art. Very detailed, very full and very well done. Still not liking the two young Lantern peeps. Those being both the younger, real Lantern and the fake, "created" one that is a sister to Jon. Although I guess she isn't really a "Lantern". I have also, already thinking that there are enough (too many) Human Lanterns, never really connected to the last three Lantern members (Simon, Jessica and Jo), but I have a feeling I can get used to them well enough... although I truly hope Jo, whom I know very little of, has a very different personality than the others.
