Anyone else see the upcoming Tom King variant covers of several books in honor of April Fools Day? They are pretty funny stick figure drawings
They are very funny indeed, i like such ideas a lot.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Comics Week is here.
Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #2
Not sure what to think about this Arc or this issue.
I mean I expected the focus to shift to Injustice, but I also thought they keep Ultraman around as the big threat in this.
Also, when in the timeline of Injustice is this happening?
The more I read about Injustice, the more confusing it gets as to why this universe Superman kept going the way he did.
Without the comics I would get the plot of IJ 1-2, but with them I do wonder how after all this, he could still go the way he gone.
Anyway, it was a fine issue itself.
Good action and i liked how it was drawn.
Lets see where this goes.
As for Covers, as it is currently with Superman related stuff…covers are incredible good.
But I prefer the Regular one.
Batman #134
I have to say, the current arc is carried by the backup with Tim.
The Main Arc stumbles a bit and the art doesn’t help…I don’t like the Batman Costume here.
It feels a lot like Filler, which I didn’t expect at first.
But it feels kind of disconnected to everything instead of a follow up to the previous arc.
Maybe that’s the point…but it kind of throws me off.
Not sure if this arc will hold up in the future, but at the moment im not really into it to be honest…despite Zdarskys writing.
Covers, I love Tom Kings April Fools cover…it’s a funny idea.
Other than that, Regular or Joe Quesada are the ones to go.
Batman & The Joker: The Deadly Duo #6
That one was again a wild Issue, well written and with cool action.
Forgot that we are already reaching the end of this with the next issue, so the expected showdown came in terms of timing unexpected.
Final issue should be fun again.
This was a really fun read so far, 6 good issues of a nice story with great arc…definitely will pick this up Physical when its avaliable.
When it comes to it, there is no wrong cover here imo but I prefer the main one.
The Flash #796
Hm, maybe I need to digest it a bit more…but I think this finale earned a bigger Boom to end.
Don’t get me wrong, the finale was nice and all…but I don’t know, I was hoping for something bigger.
But I guess that happens with such stories from time to time…they build themself up so much that the finale is falling a bit flat.
I assume I will need to let this sit for a bit longer and all before im super happy with it, for now I liked it but have this constant “Could have been better” voice in my head.
I hope im not sounding to negative because it was a really good finale.
I will definitely be sad to see this run end, but im having high expectations for the new team taking over.
Covers…I like the Regular one the most, but you cant go wrong with either of them.
They are all neat.
The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing #7
Man, the wild chaos from last issue continues…and im loving it.
This is what I like about this Series…giving me absolute Joker chaos.
What a fun ride this is.
Definitly a series to check out imo.
And also if you are in for covers…because boy are they constantly throwing out great Covers.
Here too is a fun April Fools variant from Tom King, you got Lee Bermejo, Francesco Mattina, Christian Ward and a cool Regular cover that are all worth the money.
Poison Ivy #11
They slowly losing me with Janet here.
Like she is not an awful character, but I don’t really see what she can do that Harley couldn’t.
She gets a bit annoying the more time she is around.
But in general the Writing is running out of steam a lot in recent issues.
And that after it was announced that the series run would be expanded.
Like I do want this to continue, but the writing needs to find its way again or im out.
If you can, pick up Seb Mckinnons cover…that is such a beautiful piece of art.
But the other covers are great too, nothing against any of them.
A Week that didn’t hit quite the high notes it promised, sadly.
But I should not complain, considering I still haven’t yet had a week where every comic was disappointing or so.
So its fine when a few issues aren’t quite as good as expected…the Level DC goes is constantly high for me, so its okay to once in a while have “weaker” issues.
