    Comic Review for week of August 28th 2019


    Not-snake eyes is under surveillance by Cobra! Yo Joe Cola makes an appearance!


    More ninja on ninja violence, when will it stop? Hopefully not any time soon!


    I absolutely loved this cover, it’s a fantastic celebration of the wonder of Marvel Comics. The content inside was a waste of time reading and had absolutely no redeeming value.


    Poe belongs to the stars, but they shoved in someone else for this story to take the punch out of a story that should have been his alone.


    I’m still missing #2 and #3, so I’ll hold off to review until those are done.


    Love the cover, love the story, just wish we got more Trek comics of this quality.


    Who knew that the cry baby general from the First Order came from a troubled childhood?


    The end of an interesting story that ultimately went no where.


    3-D gimmick! McFarlan is a great artist to do this with, as he’s always throwing extra stuff in for the backgrounds and his spidey art is highly dynamic. Specifically there was a scene with some pigeons flying around, then a scene with spidey in the air and his webs flying all around him that worked really well for the 3d effect.


    continues to be the first thing I read when it comes time to reading my weekly pulls.


    Not a great book, but come on, the parody cover alone was worth the price of admission.


    I think I’m back on board with what’s going on here, the villains are more better well explained and there’s a guest star in the last panel!


    The creative team on this book is just mind blowingly good. May they always have access to the Batfamily!


    I love this cover and I love what they’re going for here.

    And now, some reviews for books that didn’t just come out, but I just read:


    An interesting concept and I’m surprised as how well it worked. LCS was having a half off sale on their hardcovers and I’d had my eye on this one for a while, and at that price it was well worth my time to read.


    I actually bought the 8 single issues and the covers for them are pretty dope, they spell out AVENGERS and looks amazing all lined up. The story inside is not as interesting and seemed to meander for most of the mini series with no real point to the whole thing. I also bought the first mini series, it has the same situation, cool covers, but I’m assuming the story is going to be less exciting.


    I think I bought these because I found them for three or four bucks each on amazon and I had read the Image Firsts version of the first issue and was somewhat interested in the story. It’s a great story and some good art, but at the end of the day I don’t think this series is for me.

    Comic Review for week of August 21st 2019


    Events on the cover do not happen in the book. Not to say that this a bad cover (might complain about what she has on it though), or that the story inside is bad, just a weird fetish of mine is to complain when the advertisement on the cover doesn’t reflect the story being sold inside.


    First issue of her third or fourth series, she finally has a name, though that was given to her in the previous series. Marvel has really leaned into the idea of just re-numbering the series when sales start to lag, luckily they’re also using the legacy numbers along with this, so it’s the best of both worlds. This was my first issue of any of her series that I’ve read and my only exposure to her has been through the spider-verse storline, then the spider-verse movie. I love the concept, and I love her costume, but as of this issue I’m learning that it’s alive somehow? Might be a symbiote? I dunno! I may or may not go back to buy previous issues to find out, but I feel like she’s one of those characters that has most of her growth in series that are not her own, primarily the spider-man books, and to figure out her story is going to be a serious pain in the ass.


    She’s getting into politics! What a waste of a fantastic character!


    They’re still on the run from the bad guys from the first issue, I’m on the fence on if I like these characters or not.


    Star Wars story about the bad guys killing the good guys, but being sympathetic while they kill them. ehhhhh.


    MODOK is triumphant! Mostly!


    The art direction is pretty weird, but I’m still enjoying the Marvel Action books more than the mainline Marvel books.


    I can’t remember if 616 Black Cat had luck based abilities, all I remember about her is that she was a burgler that hooked up with Spidey a few times. She’s a luck based burgler here in the MA universe, but there’s been no Spidey flirting yet.


    Golly I’m enjoying the Adventure books!


    … I only bought it because of the Art Germ cover, but this storyline is weak sauce, throwing out the last 20-30 years worth of story and just pick up where the author previously left things when he left the character in ye olden days.

    “Family Guy” Something Something Something Dark Side

    Directed by Dominic Polcino, James Purdum, Peter Shin. With Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Seth Green, Mila Kunis. Peter makes good on another power outage at home by retelling Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.

    I’m still waiting for that third one, and now that Family Guy and Star Wars are owned by the same companies, maybe we’ll see it? or is it less likely now that Disney owns them both and it’s not just up to Lucas Films any more?

    A Reminder Do Not Park Your Car At The Gas Pump You Terrible Debased Heathens

    With a half hour left to the start of the work day, I was confident. I’d driven back from Jalopnik’s track day at Monticello Motor Club after an early start so that I’d have plenty of time to fill up the gas tank and grab breakfast at the Wawa down the street from my apartment. There was just one problem: every single goddamn fucking pump was taken.

    This is shocking to me, that you have to explicitly tell grown adults to not be assholes. There’s a couple high volume stations that I’ve been to that have large stickers that tell you to not leave your car at the pump, and yet people still do it.

    Light of My Life

    Directed by Casey Affleck. With Anna Pniowsky, Casey Affleck, Tom Bower, Elisabeth Moss. Parent and child journey through the outskirts of society a decade after a pandemic has wiped out half the world’s population. As a father struggles to protect his child, their bond, and the character of humanity, is tested.

    Post Apocalypse, a father and his young child roam the roads and backwoods of America, just trying to survive each day. Sure, you’ve likely seen movies with this exactly premise, but the premise never gets old when you have such high quality acting and set pieces like “Light of My Life”. No one ever does anything stupid and everything goes the way you’d expect it to, with some fun and entertaining surprises along the way.
