Even thoug no one commented on this over on that "other" board, I thought I'd re-post it anyway.
So, I went to the comic book store yesterday only to find several new comics hit the stands that I missed. So, I thought I'd go over a few here.
DC Countdown to Infinite Crisis - I liked it alot, although, I am bummed, Blue Beatle was one of my favorite characters (along with Booster Gold.. MAN, I loved the JLI... <snif>). I'd like to try and get all the miniseries, but I'm just not sure I can afford it. Ah, well, I get the feeling that, as other's have said, it won't be vital to get all of them to understand the story. I also gotta add that I really liked John Byrne's version of O.M.A.C., but I'm willing to see what they do with this.
Power Pack #1 of 4 - I loved this comic when it first came out. Not yet sure about this one. I realize its an all ages book, but it's very cartoony (even had a "and knowing is half the battle" kind of ending), and also seems to ignore marvel continuity. I mean, Julie Powers seems to have no problems being Lightspeed in this but over in...
Runaway's #2 - She's there part of the "ex-teen heroes" support group. Strange. Anyway, this was another good issue, although it's hard to tell if the writters take this series seriously or not. The "future flashback" seemed to have a lot of humor in the names of the future heroes.
GLA Misassembled #1 - Monkey Joe says: This is funny stuff, Kids. Go buy it now.
Ultimate Secret #1 - At first I thought this was related to Ultimate Nightmare, which was a great mini-series. Now, it appears to not be. Introduces Captain Marvel to the Ultimate universe. Overall, not sure what this story is about, which I think is bad for a first issue.
I think that about covers it.
