Quick-Fire Things I Don't Want To Review But Have An Opinion On

A slightly lax approach today, where I'mma just address things from last week that I have opinions on but really can't be arsed to review.

Runaways has not been worth the time of day since it's latest renumbering (though some could argue Joss Whedon's arc lacked BKV's spark.

As such the bitch isn't worth my time anymore. The thing that tipped me over the edge?

Nico hooking up with Chase AGAIN (this makes her the biggest slut of the group and that's such a lame characterisation). Oh yeah that and nonchalantly dropping their first frog vehicle THAT HAS A FUCKING PERSONALITY YOU JERKS. No image for that one though. Oh and the art's REALLY bad now. In fact I don't even know why I've read it. RUNAWAYS, FUCK OFF. YOU'RE DONE.

The Incredible Hulk is actually pretty good, though I'm still just reading it for the Savage She-Hulk backup.

Seriously it's great to have an Olivetti Hulk book (his art actually suits overmuscular giants ya see) and the first 'proper' issue last week has had some great writing from Greg Pak, but Van Lente's Savage She-Hulk backup has pretty much punched that in the nuts and decided it's more awesome. And outside of the art slipping a bit it pretty much has.

Look at that bottom panel and tell me I'm wrong, I fucking dare you!

New Mutants is still one of the two best X-books around...

The other being X-Factor of course. I was going to review this but kinda figured I shouldn't review the same series issue after issue. Just trust me when I say that if you're not following it you are a TOOL.

..... And X-Force is probably the worst book being released by Marvel

Yeah, worse than Loeb's Hulk. I mean it. A) Necrosha's build up, something I was SURE wouldn't look like a complete rip-off of Blackest Night.... Does.

Seriously. Fucking awful. Caliban is the Black Hand. Also B) they can't pay enough attention to which arm is cut off of X-23.

Right Arm to Left Arm in the space of ONE PANEL!

Which whilst hilarious also kinda sickens me as the whole scene is basically something out of a really sick Guro comic. Just stay the fuck away from this abomination and we shall never speak of it again.

.... Oh yeah and C) Rahne feel character assassinated compared to her X-Factor days. This pisses me off.

Wolverine HATES film piracy!

'Nuff said? Wolverine First Class actually matters this week as we get the origin of Jamie Madrox's dupes going out to learn stuff, including the fact that one of the first batch will become James Maddox! This is awesome.

See? Awesome.

Cow Variants are awesome

Skrull Kill Krew needs a small trophy... Or higher sales.

Other things

Guardians of the Galaxy has gone completely and utterly hatstand at the moment, with crazy shit happening all over the place. Read it already!

Beta Ray Bill now has a partner to try and procreate his species with. That won't work in the long run but still how nice.

DON'T pull Herc's finger

Okay and that's a new approach of not reviewing anything but still saying things. Whaddaya think?

NEW STYLE (AGAIN?!) Quick-Fire Reviews: Week of August 12th

Gotta love that cover. Ms. Marvel punching Ms. Marvel in the crotch. Groundbreaking.

So welcome to another new iteration of the Quick-Fire Reviews. I really should run a poll of what method's better if I ever have more than 5 readers. This time around I'm going for a basic and nonsensical approach:

• Say nothing about the comic
• Edit a page to kinda get across a bit of what I'm thinking
• Try to be funny
• Fail
• Rate

No complicated baloney about art or writing, that's for the full size reviews. This is a simple yay or nay version of reviews, with some added imagery for entertainment. To drop the moments stuff that I love using for the full reviews seems a shame but hey I might be able to work those in in the future.

HIT THE JUMP TO SEE THE ALL NEW, ALL SHITTY REVIEWS!

"OH NOES CABLE IS MELTING! MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Rating: Buy It! (though it's barely an issue #1)







































Okay, so I finished this before Herc, probably because the only one of these edited pages is something I'd consider funny (the cable one, I know it's not funny shut up). Herc is actually up next! (note to self: formatting is a bitch)

Quick-Fire Reviews: NO QUICK-FIRE REVIEWS

THAT'S RIGHT!!

No, I'm not gonna do them this week. If comics decide to take the week off then so do I. The only other releases I wanted to read this week were Dark X-Men: The Beginning #1 and X-Men Forever #3. I don't have these. I could review Essential X-Men's latest issue that I bagged but that'd be X-Men overkill. So no reviews. Kinda handy considering the whole format changing thing I'm doing as well. Instead of Quick-Fire I'll crank out another Top Ten and my thoughts on some recent comics related stuff.

See you all later

Oh, it's a big week for comics next week, with some of my favourites appearing. What better way to start the new format of reviews than with ridiculous praise?
