The Good and the Bad: 11/16/2010

Avengers - The Children’s Crusade 03

This book was mainly two long conversations.  One, with the Young Avengers, Quicksilver and Magneto; and another one between the adult Avengers and Wonder Man.  The main problems with this book centers on the adult Avengers.  Captain America wants to go find the Scarlet Witch, but fails to take into account how Wolverine would feel about it.  Second, why do they continue to let Wonder Man be a dick to them?  By now, it seems SOMEBODY would tell to go F himself.  Or maybe that’s just me.  

Grade:  Not bad, but not good.  Kinda like a meh.

Chronicles of Wormwood - The Last Battle 05

There’s something about an Avatar book that either satisfies you or pisses you off.  I’ve been enjoying CoW since its first series and I’m entertained enough by it to forgive the long ass delays that seem to plague every book Avatar puts out.
Grade:  Good.

Iron Man - Legacy 08
I’m still trying to figure out just why this book exists and then I read the story.  And now I wish it didn’t exist.  There’s nothing here that you couldn’t get in the main Iron Man book.

Grade:  Bad.

Iron Man-The Rapture 01

Why does Marvel keep doing these mini-series featuring Iron Man and telling story that could be told in the main book?  This story has been told countless times before.

Grade:  Bad.

New Avengers 06

This is the story that took six issues to tell?  Uh… yeah.  This is not cool.  Plus, they killed Brother Blood.

Grade:  Bad.

Thanos Imperative 06

Wow!  Now this is how a story should be told.  And once again, there is a cliffhanger that leads into the next storyline.  Marvel is hitting a homerun with this.

Grade:  Really Good.

The Mighty Crusaders 05

Another example of how DC can screw up their licensed properties.  Seeing how they messed up with the Milestone characters and the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents, they’ve gone three-for-three.  This is really, really pathetic.

Grade:  Really, Really Bad.

Green Hornet 09

What if somebody wrote a good Batman story without all the convoluted plot devices?  Well, Dynamite is, only it’s the Green Hornet.  The story is straightforward and doesn’t require you know every minute detail of his continuity.  I wish I could read more books like this.

Grade:  Very good.
