So I bought a total of nine comic books yesterday. So far, I've read two:
Alpha Flight #2: Somebody, anybody, please claw out my eyes. While AF #2 wasn't nearly as awful as the first issue, it's so obvious that the writer isn't taking anything about this comic seriously that it's damned insulting. I think the cover art of this one says it all: Sasquatch is standing there, smacking his head with the palm of his hand and a little speech bubble has the word "D'oh!" scrawled inside it. Still, I'd at least like to find out what happened to the original Alpha Flight team, so I'll keep stickin' it out for another four issues. (Yes, that means four more months of complaining about this title.)
Superman/ThunderCats #1: "You just gotta have one stupid comic." That's basically what the guy at Wyldstar said to me yesterday when he pointed out this book. I decided he's right -- I have my fair share of stupid comics, after all. However, when the "stupid" comic is a better read than a regular series (see above), then you have to be worried. Overall, not much story but kind of amusing for what it was. Can you go wrong with a comic book that features the Last Son of Krypton tangling with a pissed-off Lion-O and his Sword of Omens? ... I didn't think so. ;)
