Another trip to Wyldstar yesterday.
Return of the Jedi: Infinities #4: I certainly didn't see this ending coming. Still, it was a bit of a let-down. Overall, though, okay. The best of the Infinities series has to be A New Hope, though.
Superman/Batman #7: Issue #8 piqued my curiosity, so I backed up an issue. Too bad it wasn't very good. It just focused on Superboy and Robin, two characters I've never really liked. I think DC is collecting the first six issues in graphic novel format, so I can catch up with the series when that comes out (providing I'm not imagining this graphic novel).
Wolverine/Punisher #1: It's one thing if a Punisher villain is nicknamed Napoleon. It's another if he dresses the part. Aside from the lame villain that kicks off the story, the book wasn't half-bad. The story from here on out looks like it will revolve around the legendary criminal safe haven called Erewhon and an attempt by those hiding out in Erewhon to get back at The Punisher for putting them on the run in the first place. Wolverine shows up at the very end as what appears to be a hired hand protecting the bait for getting The Punisher to Erewhon. I was a little disappointed that the artist chose to use the old Punisher superhero outfit instead of the version found in the new Punisher MAX series.
The Punisher #4: The first panel almost made me put the book down. It seems the whole reason the CIA has trapped The Punisher is they want him to become an anti-terrorist terrorist ("Frank, how'd you like to kill Bin Laden?"). I'll leave the spoilers at that and move on. Things don't go quite as Micro and the CIA planned, and the mobsters from issues #1 to #3 will probably play a much bigger role in #5. Looking forward to it. I wish this title was bi-weekly right now. ;)
