It has been a while since i last posted a comic book review and for that i am terribly sorry because it is something i enjoyed doing. I intend to begin reviewing comics once again as i am now finishing up a double schedule of schooling that has taken place over the last 6 months. I will not be as 28noreply@blogger.com (Neil04)http://darkseidrevenge.blogspot.com/2008/12/thor-12.htmlCall Down the Lightning: ThorSat, 27 Dec 2008 18:00:00 -0500tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565952955014990100.post-3811546979634898264Whew, all that Thor talk made me want… more Thor! So let’s close out the Day with Thor #12! That’s right this site might as well be called Thor something because I love this series and it is the one series I run to the store to pick up every month. This issue is almost a way of righting the origins of Loki for those readers who may not understand the character or who he was and why he was a man 4noreply@blogger.com (Neil04)http://darkseidrevenge.blogspot.com/2008/12/ultimatum-2.htmlMarch on UltimatumMarvel ComicsSat, 27 Dec 2008 16:09:00 -0500tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565952955014990100.post-7317729492612268375I hope you have had your palette wet, but wait… there’s more! Ultimatum #2 and you don’t get no better with more surprised in the Ultimate Universe, we had a number of X-Men members get dropped off and we have seen Magneto becomes the World’s Most Wanted, but I don’t think too many people saw Magneto getting up close and personal and playing assassin on Xavier by snapping his neck for his 0noreply@blogger.com (Neil04)http://darkseidrevenge.blogspot.com/2008/12/nova-20.htmlMarvel ComicsThe Human Rocket: NovaSat, 27 Dec 2008 15:00:00 -0500tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565952955014990100.post-2542925879381882624So why should I stop with reviews today, I write them you read them and I hope you love them! But let’s get to Nova #20 because you know the Human Rocket is one of my favorite series. I have to say the addition of Ego the Living Planet to the Nova Corps was unforeseen, but I guess the Green lanterns have Mogo , so they might as well poke fun at or give the idea a shot in the Marvel Universe. 2noreply@blogger.com (Neil04)http://darkseidrevenge.blogspot.com/2008/12/x-men-kingbreaker-1.htmlMarvel ComicsWar of KingsSat, 27 Dec 2008 14:00:00 -0500tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565952955014990100.post-3568574317775006095I can’t be stopped, and the hits really will just keep coming and they continue with my favorite series and group of authors at the moment to usher in the New Year. Abnett and Lanning have a new mission, tear asunder the cosmos with war on the Horizon, a War of Kings!

I give to you an in-depth review of Batman #683 which is part of the Last Rites arc and serves as the bridge between the Batman R.I.P. story and Batman’s place in the Final Crisis event. The story is told from Alfred’s perspective and given to the reader as we follow a origin story in Batman #682 to the present condition of Batman in #6830noreply@blogger.com (Neil04)http://darkseidrevenge.blogspot.com/2008/12/justice-league-of-america-27.htmlDC ComicsJustice League of AmericaWed, 24 Dec 2008 18:50:00 -0500tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565952955014990100.post-7323326168926989836Finally for the day we have Justice League of America #27 and I had to do a little research on this one because I do not read very much Milestone Comics. I remember collecting some issues of Hardware when that first came out and I may have issues #1 of some of these characters because my uncle dropped them in my lap, but not that I was excited about reading the series.

This is a more intimate story than Magog was and the thing that really brings it to life is the fantastic artwork of Alex Ross.

Kingdom Come Special Magog #1 gave Tomasi a lot of room to work with as far as what he could do with the origins of this character.

I am not sure who has been pushing Swiercyznski in the right direction, but he is finally at a point where the series is good enough to be reviewed and feel inclusive in the X-Men Universe.

I am going to catch you up on all the things that have happened in Final Crisis over the past month beginning with Final Crisis Resist.

If you have been reading the Guardians of the Galaxy series you know that the Secret Invasion tie-ins kind of brought the lowest point in the series thus far.

I love the Inhumans and Blackbolt ranks up there with the great powerhouses of the Marvel Universe, but he is always overlooked as are the rest of the Inhumans, but with this prelude to War of Kings it looks like things are about to change, and that is for the better for the Inhumans, seriously!
