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!

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!
