Recent Comics

Runaways 28

Runaways is one of my favorite comic series. At least when Brian K. Vaughan was writing it. The first two issues of Whedon's arc were sub par, maybe not sub par compare to normal comics put in comparison to Vaughan's runaways in definitely felt lacking. Now with issue 28 my Runaways are back in good form. Now I haven't read or watched everything Whedon (saw Serenity, loved it then watched Firefly probably even better then Serenity, read Astonishing X-Men loved the early arcs, now it is just piling together with mainstream team comics, I still love Buffy though, and I am currently watching Season 3). Now I have faith in Whedon to finish off the arc after this very good issue thanks Joss Whedon.

Action Comics 856


Now I know this came out last week but it sure is worth getting. This Bizarro arc of Action Comics is really well done and something I will be looking forward to in the coming months. Not quite yet a must read, I will let you know if it's really worth getting a collected version in the months to come.

Black Summer 3

Oh Black Summer how I used to love you. Issue Zero of Summer started off with a bang that kept me reading (The assassination of George Bush). Issue 1 came out and I loved it. I'm not really sure why I loved it so much, I just did. I expected Issues 2 & 3 to be excellent, but I was wrong. It's not a terrible comic by any means, it just isn't great either. I'm gonna say I'll give it one more issue, but I'll probably end up buying the whole mini series regardless of if it get's better or not. Please get better so I don't have to contemplate getting issue 5.


Weirdsville


That's it for this week's comic reviews, but I have one movie to recommend. The movie is Weirdsville. In a quick description of the movie I guess you could say call it a Canadian Trainspotting. Weirdsville is so much funnier then Trainspotting though. Weirdsville starts out Satanist's doing human sacrifices and then gets even weirder and funnier. Weirdville is a really fun time at the movies and I expect many people to enjoy this movie in years to come.
