New Comics Day 8/4/10

Since I'm very, very broke right now I'm glad this week was another light one for my pull list. Young Allies continues with its Forming the Band initial arc with time split between the various heroes and the Bastards...

iZombie concentrates mostly on world building stuff. Well at least one character's belief in how the supernatural stuff works. Also some vampire hunting. Very nice cover this month as well...

And lastly Gail Simone presents a Secret Six Elseworlds story where the Six are in the Old West. I especially liked Ragdoll's Punch(Joker) & Judy (Harley) puppet show. Oh and another great cover, this one by Daniel Luvisi of a Sergio Leone style Deadshot...

The Kids Are All Right

Teens Joni and Laser (yes that is really the characters name) decide to track down the sperm donor their lesbian moms (Annette Bening and Julianne Moore) used. And once they meet him his involvement in their lives begins to shake up their family. One of those dramedy type movies. Where the humor comes from weird or uncomfortable situations rather than jokes...

Both Josh Hutcherson (who perfectly captures that exasperated sullenness of a 15-year old boy) and Mark Ruffalo (as the donor daddy) are pretty excellent here. Though Moore is also great, as is Bening. Even if she is channeling a bit of the stressed and controlling mom form American Beauty at times...
