lurkerwithout | New Comics Day 4/16

Still sooooo sleepy. But happy. 'Cause comics. Also The Tick vs. Season 2. Hmmm hmm hmm. Hunh? Oh right! Comics!

Starting with DC and the finale for Suicide Squad. I still can't make this mesh with Salvation Run. Because that series is stupid. But you get a few more deaths. And Boomer Jr and Deadshot bond. Ahhh. In conclusion Ostrander should take over on Checkmate and stuff should stop being stupid. Yeah!

The Programme moves closer to the end. And the only reason the government seems to have TIME to fuck around with screwing over the "good" supers is because the Russian Dolls can't seem to control their powers very well and so can't seem to find D.C. for a while...

And 100 Bullets also continues on towards its final issue. Man there were a lot of nekkid lady panels in this one. Also I think I'm missing the point of the addition of Pippen's character this late in the story...

DMZ makes me wonder how the hell the guv'mint types are using satellites to LISTEN to shit. Are they supposed to be using peoples' cell phones as receivers or something? I can buy that spy satellites can SEE a conversation between two people. But how would it listen?

Then in F.E.A.R. Agent Heath saves one woman and gets another killed. Poor, dumb drunken broken-down Heath...

Oni starts up another mini of The Damned by Cullen Bunn & Brian Hurtt. Demons + Mobsters = Awesome!

And then its on to Marvel where Annihilation: Conquest finishes up. Giant robots! Warlock punching Warlock in the face! Ghost Visions! Sad Raccoons! Victory?

Avengers: The Initiative finishes up the K.I.A. story arc as well. So that they can participate in the stupid Secret Invasion crap I guess. Stupid Bendis. Also when did they nerf Vance's power levels? 'Cause the dude used to be able to be a heavy hitter and now he keeps getting slapped around...

And we end with Knights of the Dinner Table and an issue dedicated to Gygax. Though we get to meet Heidi for the first time. Plus a Dalek. And a review of the Dragonlance cartoon...
