Up for a quick review here is Marvel's Super Hero Squad #2. Read this to my son last night. It was a pretty good story over all. The story of Reptil and how he got his powers. Humberto Lopez touted as a smart kid with good grades but is extremely bored at home. He's doing a project for school, put together a time capsule and bury it outside of his house. Which when you think of it, why would the school have you do that? No way of checking on it. Anyway, as he is digging he finds a powerful sunstone that looks like one of these fractals that were in the past issue. As soon as he touches the sunstone he gets his powers. Dinosaur like powers. Now that he has these new found abilities what does he do next? Makes a costume and goes out to try his strength against super villains. He tries his luck against Abomination, and a few other unnamed bad dudes, but fails miserable. Dr Doom hears about this new kid with powers and thinks he has a piece of this fractal. So, he sends out the Blob to find out. Captain America comes in and saves Reptil without him knowing. And they head to Stark Labratories to analyze the sunstone and get Reptil a new outfit. He ends up really excited to be there, but poor Wolverine has to mentor him! There was about 10 pages of little strips and skits after that story was over. kinda neat but not that impressive. And at the end there was a preview of the Oz book. This book gets a 3.5 rating. Still not as cool and entertaining as the stuff Boom is putting out for kids. But pretty good otherwise.

Wow! I have no regrets about buying this comic! Go pick it up today!
I love to draw. I've been drawing since I was like nine. So from an artistic view this comic is messy. And I love it! I've always been the kinda person that has to have everything look just right (especially with art) and Riley Rossmo just draws. He doesn't look back. He doesn't try to change anything (that I know of). He just puts it down on paper. He's a very talented artist but he doesn't spend time polishing up his work. It's nothing but extreme truth. It's his style. It's the way he expresses himself. It inspires me! What can I say? Once again a brilliant comic! The story has me waiting to find out what happens next and the art, well, you already know what I think about the art. My one single complaint is that the characters take God's name in vain a few times (because I'm a follower of Jesus Christ this does bother me). If only that fact was lacking. Other than that it's perfect! 5 outta 5!

This Comic Is Comic Book Gold! Batman has always bin my favorite Comic-Book character of all time, and the Relationship between Hush & Batman is epic. Hush is one of those classic bad-ass villains who are just dark and gritty and perfectly worthy of fighting the Caped Crusader. Jeph Loebs writing in this comic is Gold, the storyline is crisp and gripping which makes any Comic-Book lover appreciate it to the point of drooling. The Art is wonderful, and the cover is one of the best i've seen in a long time. This is a Batman Classic in my book. 5 out of 5!

I'll try to not give to much away. In this issue we see Rip Hunter talking to Skeet about Booster Gold's recent disappearance. Also little bonus Rip's has written new things on his blackboard, so check the panel out. We see the rise of Black Lantern Ted "Blue Beetle" Kord & the panel then changes to Booster Gold. You see where/when he is & for myself his inner monolog is so great. It's beautiful and angry at the same time, so I think that is the best thing in this issue. Also we see Rose upset with Daniel Carter for not taking her places she likes. Skeet ask Jaime Reyes the current Blue Beetle if he has seen Booster & he says no, but says he will help in the search. Skeet and Jaime travel to Daniel's house, only to be attacked by Black Lantern Ted Kord. A big fight happens and we see the return of Daniel as Supernova, but again the one character that gets you is Booster Gold. When he sees what is happening and who is the cause of the attack, to me the look on his face is " You have to be kidding me ". I can't wait to read the next issue & if anything will break the heart of Booster Gold. Having to fight & possibly kill Ted Kord will hurt more then anything.

I have enjoyed pretty much all of the comics from this series, so it was no suprise that I picked this comic up. Yes so I really enjoyed this issue it contiued to amaze me and like I said with my last review of Merc With a Mouth that I may be liking this more than his other series (nothing wrong with the other series this just seems to appeal to me more) I mean this really isn't like a "main" type of story. Which is nice I like to get out of the large Marvel crossovers and have a story that has nothing to do with the main story. I do like both the writing and the art in this comic it is still rockin'. If your a little sick of Deadpool or maybe even all things dealing with Dark Riegn or whatever is going on right now then check out this series. 5 out of 5 and yes I did get this on my vacation.

Dark Avengers #11Written by: Brian Michael Bendis Art by: Mike Deodato and Greg Horn I should start off by saying that this issue is really well structured. The fact that the story opens up by referencing Victoria Hand's position as a S.H.I.E.L.D. accountant three years ago is a perfect set up. By starting the issue this way, Bendis allows for two ongoing story lines to occur simultaneously that cross over into one another, but still manage to remain separate, and do not confuse the reader. Victoria Hand is presented as this very weak female character in the beginning of the story, and you can see the way she has evolved and been strengthened as a character over the course of the last three years. This issue is as much about Norman Osborn's assistant as it is about Norman himself. In this issue, Norman is tested by the Molecule Man, who can easily destroy Norman if he wished to, but doesn't. The plot reaches a climax in the beginning of the book, and then reverts, before ending on a high note once again. Bendis writes a perfectly despicable and resentful Molecule Man, which is perfectly captured in his character narration. Probably the most powerful scene in the entire comic is the interaction between Norman and the Molecule Man, who seems ready and willing to aid Norman in his own psychological destruction. This interaction reinforces the idea that Norman is self destructive, and that in the end, he very well may be his own enemy. His psychological instability seems to be what will more than likely result in his own demise. Scenes which Molecule Man clearly has the upper hand and has invaded Norman's mind are drawn by Greg Horn, while all other scenes are drawn by Mike Deodato, who has been the artist on the book throughout the entire series. The decision to bring on another artist with a completely different style for these specific scenes acts to further reinforce the shift in the story which makes for an interesting dynamic. Perhaps the reason I enjoyed this book so much is due to the Molecule Man's prominent role in the story, specifically because he seems like such an unlikely adversary. A fantastic issue overall, my only complaint is that the interaction that Molecule Man has with the rest of the Avengers (Sentry, Ms. Marvel, Daken...) seems rushed and could have been extended. 4 out of 5

Batman Unseen #4 of 5Written by Doug Moench Art by: Kelley Jones Of all the Batman books out in the market now, this is definitely one of my favorites. Written specifically for fans of the Bruce Wayne Batman- sans the side-kick, this book returns the character to his detective roots and reads like an edge of your seat mystery thriller that has over the years, been what has made Batman so intriguing to so many fans. Everything from the style of the writing to the art aid in bringing the reader back to a dark and dreary bronze age Batman, which is exactly what makes this such an interesting read. Kelley Jones' abstract and dark artistic style likens to that of Frank Miller's artistry in ' The Dark Knight Returns.' The way that the narration acts as an internal monologue intertwines perfectly with the character dialogue. The story is organized effectively into chapters which distinguish the transition from one scene to the next similar to a novel. Perhaps it is the way the book is structured, or the fact that it is so well written and organized, but this book blew me away. Mind you, Bruce Wayne is also my favorite comic book character so I tend to be a bit biased...then again if I think that he is characterized well in this book, then chances most Batman fans will agree. Note that this title is out of the continuity of the other bat-books. I recommend picking up the three previous issues before tackling this one so that you can get the most out of this story. 4 out of 5

The Authority: The Lost Year #3Story by: Grant Morrison and Keith Giffen Written by: Keith Giffen Art by: Darick Robertson and Trevor Scott There are few artists that can capture the fluidity of movement and still maintain a gritty style; Darick Robertson however does exactly that. The first four pages exemplify his personal artistic style to perfection. If you have not and are not planning on picking up the two previous issues of The Authority, then there is really no sense in getting this one because you may not grasp what is going on. The content is somewhat graphic and the art is suggestive in some scenes, but entertaining, nonetheless. The book maintains an interesting plot and story and is very well structured, but without an understanding of these individual characters it is near impossible to read. One thing is certain, these guys are a hell of a lot more interesting than the Justice League. The script is well organized which is evident in the artistry of the first four pages. I personally love a good fight scene without dialogue; it is a great example of the artist's talent. While it was a fun read, I did have some trouble being engaged throughout the entire story and it felt no different (to me) than reading any other super hero book. 3 out of 5

Cowboy Ninja Viking number one is one of the coolest comics ever! A.J. Lieberman is the freakin man! And Riley Rossmo is one of the coolest artists ever! This comic shot, cut, and chopped my mind (in a good way)! It's so different! What a refreshment! It's like a movie in comic form too (I like that fact)! Only thing it has against it is that it’s a first issue so they’re still setting up the story and it’s a little slow. But! A dudes head gets chopped in half so that mostly makes up for it. I just love this comic. 5 outta 5!

Hellboy is gone. Elizabeth is searching. Abe is wondering. Johann is beginning. Kate is hoping. Monks are dying... but what will happen next? Mignola, Golden, and Sniegoski do an excellent job with this issue. It was slightly slow going at first but then almost all first issues are. I really like Abe's character and to be honest he's the reason I picked up this issue. While this comic isn't really from any one person's view he does seem to be a major part of the arc. Ryan Sook and Dave Stewart do a wonderful job with the art and I'm in no way dissapointed. I really like the dark feel these guys give the comic. It really complements Mignola's story. Overall a 5 outta 5. Well done boys!

This issue had a lot of good moments and it is the set up issue for what is coming next in action comics and has a really good ending, but there was nothing spectacular about it. The art as far as I am concerned fits the characters lets hope this artist stays on the book for at least 2 years. It is a must Pick up if you have been collecting the series if not it is a pass. I'm giving this 3 house of El belts out of 5.

Moon Knight/Batman Series is actually pretty good but I'm having a hard time accepting it as good literature. Why? It has ceased to be original, it's like the Creative team finished reading a Batman comic then said to themselves if we only change the costume, name, and back-story we may be able to run with this. And it's bin working and I’ve ignored the similarities with Batman until now.. Why? Because Marvel has ceased to keep the similarities on a low-key scale and have decided to add a new villain named Scarecrow, ok big deal you can have a character named Scarecrow right? Except, wait oh yeah! He looks just like the one from DC! Now I ignored the Helicopter, I ignored the Motorcycle but this just kills me that people can't be more creative with there work.
Anywho time to stop ranting and start reviewing. The question is, is the comic good? And I’ll have to say yes it's a good comic but it is ruined by the appearance of Scarecrow although his back-story is different and he fits in with the story it's bothered me every time I saw him on a panel but he is kinda bad-ass. The art was very nice, and the writing continues to be good, and the storyline makes me come back for more. All in all i gotta and am gonna give this comic 4 out of 5. Even though i'm tempted to give it 3 out of 5, So in the spirit of all fairness I'll split the difference I'm gonna give this comic a 3.5 out of 5. ) =

This issue of Deadpool is one of my favorites. We really see who Deadpool is. While yes he's a funny, overly witty dude he's still a killer. It's who he is and it's what he does. Daniel Way’s writing really came through this issue. The only thing I had a problem with is we don’t find out (at least in this issue) who “Tanya Patterson” is and why Deadpool killed Gavin. Did she hire him to? I mean he was putting his name on Craig’s List. We may never know. I especially like the end… classic. Paco Medina’s pencils and Marte Gracia’s colors really complement each other, and just wrap up this comic beautifully. 4.5 outta 5.
