Justice Society of America #10

This issue starts the Kingdom Come arc in the JSA. The Kingdom Come (aka Earth 22)’s Superman is questioned and detained by the JSA as they try to figure out just what is going on. During all this Superman is content to answer their questions as he voices his own. As he tells part of his story, we see snippets of pages from the Kingdom Come series created by Alex Ross and Mark Waid. As the JSA try to figure out what to do with him, they lock him in their conference room. As they continue to debate, Superman listens in until he hears the sound of a girl about to jump off a building. Of course he busts out and saves the day. Power Girl is having a hard time with his appearance – he reminds her of her cousin Kal-L’s death at the hands of Superboy-Prime.

Ultimate Spider-Man #115

Bendis’ latest Goblin arc marches along with Peter in Shield custody. Kitty sees this and goes into action to free him. This leads to the revelation that Carol Danvers was holding Peter as bait for Norman Osborn. As the issue marches on, Norman is going after his former lawyers and associates looking for his fortune they have embezzled from him. Shield drafts Peter and Kitty – property damage ensues.

I’m still not used to the art change. I am really missing Mark Bagley’s art on this book. Immomen’s Aunt May looks like she aged 20 years overnight.

Powers #26

We continue to see the fallout from the Powers virus running rampant through the populace.  Now Deena is a suspect.  Turns out Walker’s new partner is actually an Internal Affairs plant lloking for dirt on Deena and Walker.  This title is consistently my number one pick when it comes out.

This is not for kids.  And the price has recenty risen to $3.99 a copy.  But Bendis and Oeming are giving us extra pages of content to go along with the price increase.  As well as better cover stock.

Hack/Slash (Devils Due Publishing – Tim Seeley)

Cassie Hack and her large hulking friend Vlad hunt Slashers – think Jason Vorhees or Michael Myers.  This series is awesome.  It started as a bunch of mini-series and one shots (get the trades!) and is now an ongoing series.  And as you will see mentioned on the cover of every issue  Soon to be a Major Motion Picture.  God I hope they don’t screw it up.  I hope it’s more in vein with Batman Begins than the Fantastic Four movie or heaven forbid the Hulk.
