Marvel Comics: In spaaaaaaaaaaaaace

Marvel to launch new Guardians of the Galaxy post Annihilation: Conquest. They're being cagey about who might be on this team of Avengers-in-space until A:C finishes and we see who lives, except to say that Nova won't be a member. Me I know who I want on board...

*crosses fingers*

Rocket Raccoon and space lesbians, Rocket Raccoon and space lesbiants, c'mon talking raccoon with rocket skates and Moondragon/Quasar. Yes I know Moondragon's dead right now. So? Not like she hasn't been dead before...

New Comics Day

Only picked up four books this week and put a fifth back in the box for next week. I might have been able to squeek by with it, but decided to hold off. Stupid no money...

Firstly is the new Army@Love. Several things just felt off this time. The sections showing how the burkha is a way for women to get respect from men who otherwise can't control their sex-crazed nature. Um. Ok. Then the bit with the World's Catchiest Ring Tone Tune. Er. Yeah. And lastly the fake country name bit is just really wearing out...

Then its another X-Men First Class. Where the young mutants learn that those who fear BURN at the touch of the Man-Thing! Plus Thor fighting a giant dark future Bobby who calls himself Ice Giant. Someone write to JMS and remind him that anything that takes away Thor saying "I say thee nay!" is stupid...

I also decided to grab the Damage Control mini. First issue is interesting. Though I wish they'd included some kind of recap or cast page for those of us who HAVEN'T read the original series. Still pretty good even without any idea on people's back-stories. And its nice to see SOMEONE finally mention SOMETHING about the former Damage Control CEO being, you know evil, and responsible for Stamford. Even if its just a throwaway gag about Wolverine...

And we'll finish with Blue Beetle. Where Jaime goes after the Reach on his own. I mean sure he's got a decent plan. But I still wish he'd TRIED to get other supers to help. Yeah, the Reach have apparantly tricked people into thinking their friendly aliens. But hey, you know what I remember? That Green Lantern Rings HATE them. And maybe Jaime should get Hal Jordon to stop having celebration sex long enough to help him out...
