NuComix Day!

thebitterguyGot a bundle of books yesterday. Apparently the Fallen Son one-shots are not off to a strong start, although I enjoyed Denial enough. The latest 52 was a strong one, focusing on the new Question and Batwoman. I got the last issue of Planet Hulk (Good timing!) as well as the first issue of The Initiative; man, Slott can do downers when he wants to, eh?
Also got Buffy 8 #2 and Runaways # 25. Man, I knew I should have gotten the second and third hcs for that book. I'm SO behind.
But, yeah, I figured I'd just start by kvetching about Omega flight, because that's how I roll. So: Omega Flight #1: Sploiler alert!
Okay, I'm torn. First off, the premiere superteam of the GWN is back, with only one original member. So far, the Yanks aren't on the team yet, and Walter "I'm not dead yet!" Langowski is being handled fairly well.
The first issue is mostly his story. It's sort of a 'getting the band back together on government orders' story, with a mysterious CSIS agent. He's approached Talisman, who seems iffy on the idea, and been told that USAgent and Arachne will be joining him as well.
Oh, yeah: Someone tell Marvel we only had a female PM for six months, and that was 15 years ago. Fuckin' idiots.
Hey, question: Are there multiple helicarriers in the MU? Because there were what looked like CF-18s (although the markings looked off) flying by a helicarrier.
Beta-Ray Bill's appearance is kinda heavily foreshadowed by Sasquatch's vicious beatdown at the hands of The Wrecking Crew. On the plus side, he spends a lot of time kicking the crap out of them in righteous canuck rage before they regroup. Assuming that BRB will show up to save the day is logical, since they're second rate Thor villains, and he's a second rate Thor.
It's not as bad as it could be, which I suppose is a blessing. Of course, now the book is 20% done, and I hope that's not 20% of the story.

Is she a little Bush clone like Harper?

Date: 2007-04-05 09:02 pm (UTC)Well, DC's already fallen into the habit of fictional US Presidents, Canadian PMs, UN Secretaries-General, and NYC Mayors. It was only a matter of time for Marvel.

Date: 2007-04-05 09:26 pm (UTC)I liked the idea, but I still think they didn't go as far with it as they could've.

Date: 2007-04-06 01:22 am (UTC)I'm just hoping that the storyline for 52 is not overlooked as everyone looks towards the new series starting up.
Also, are they ever going to get around to Starfire and Adam Strange again?!
