The Complete Alice in Wonderland #1
Hey, you know what book I read recently? What book makes this whole story completely dull for me to read now? Yeah. Alice in Wonderland. Why did I bother picking this up?
Forgetless #1
Twitter. Completely unnecessary in this story. Also, the time jumping was not the best thought out thing ever. However, the story itself has left s many holes in it and I’m curious enough that I really want to find out more. The story of a girl who for some reason is hired to kill a guy and her friend who may also be her supervisor and, well, there’s a lot of holes.
Incarnate #3
Well, it was a fun battle. The story had no point to it, there was no conclusion and it shifted genres again for the final issue. The plot was pretty well non-existent and, while it seemed to be trying to set up some dramatic end of the world epicness and survival of the species stuff (And the species was pretty much undefined) with absolutely no payoff. I don’t know what to make of it besides learning not to pick up anything written by someone who is related to someone famous again. Or, at least, not if it costs more than a normal comic.
Incorruptible #1
A super-villain disappears and goes straight. It’s got a bit of Incognito in there, but it’s not grabbing me quite the same as Incognito did. I mean, he sold out his people and burned down all of his money, which his girlfriend (“Jailbait”) for some reason hasn’t moved. Some of this story just doesn’t sit well, but we’ll see.
Marvelous Land of Oz #2
I like that they’re focusing on Pumpkinhead, though why they bothered with making Jack a character when they were just going to ignore him for the latter of the issue is a bit of a mystery. Still, Pumpkinhead and Scarecrow seem to be hitting it off pretty well and it looks to be developing into something pretty cute.
Nomad #4
I love this character. I like how everything ended up and I like that she’s on good terms with the Young Avengers. I like that she finally met with Cap. I like that, despite tragedy, she’s still able to move on with her life without becoming a ball of angst. I like that it’s alluded that her alternate universe self is helping her out. I like that Spider-girl is inexplicably in the background of the last panel despite her being written out of continuity with OMD. I don’t really like that the YA came out of nowhere and left the same way, nor do I particularly like that she’s exposed her secret identity because those two plot threads came out of nowhere and seemed to leave in much the same fashion, but otherwise it was fun!
Underground #4
Wonderful how the environmentalism can still permeate through the fact that you’re being chased by men with guns. Still, it’s an interesting enough look at them running away, I suppose, and the dialogue is relatively fun. It’s just… environmentally conscious. And that bothers me.
Comic Minute:
In case you don’t remember issue 1 of Nomad, here’s a refresher.
