Comic Round Up

Yup, went and bought comic books again. Here's what I got;

FRANKENSTEIN AND THE CREATURES OF THE UNKNOWN 2 & 3

This wraps up the miniseries and sets up the continuing storyline in the newly revamped DC Universe. It worked well. We got resolution for some characters and they even remembered GI Robot, which is cool. I see myself buying the new series when it comes out.

THE FEARSOME FOUR

I had no idea about this book! It seems that since the Marvel Universe is gripped in fear, The Man-Thing has gone berserk, drawn to large metropolitan areas to burn out the fear. There is only one, er, man able to stop him...Howard The Duck!   Along with Nighthawk, She Hulk and Frankenstein's Monster making this one of the best comics out there. I hope it continues after the four issues, but with my luck that ain't happening. Too bad.

RED SKULL:INCARNATE

The second issue of the history of a true sociopath. This comic is both compelling and bleak and one of the most interesting things Marvel has ever done with one of it's characters. And Marvel seriously needs to consider releasing these magnificent covers as posters.

WHAT THE HELL, MARVEL?!?!

Okay, before we get started, go read this;

Finished?
Good.
Pissed off at Marvel?
Even better.
First they screw the Kirby family out of rightfully due bucks, but now they want people to literally destroy their competition.
What a crock!
And over a cover that is far from McGuiness' best work.
Ugh.
See, this is hard for me because I am a Marvel guy. Growing up my friend, Steve would buy all things DC and I would buy all things Marvel. We both knew what was better in our opinions and went with it.
Lately, I have been buying comics and really the only Marvel Comic I have been getting is the new Red Skull miniseries.
I read a lot of DC Comics nowadays.
But they are getting to reboot their universe.
Again.
I might just stick with buying the Marvel Essentials and the DC Showcase from here on out. At least then I know I'm getting quality comics with none of the BS.
Sheesh!

THE F WORD 2011

The F Word is my favorite Gordon Ramsay show. He takes normal people and puts them in a kitchen to see how many diners are willing to pay for their attempts at his recipes. Along the way there is informative segments about food. Gordon raises livestock to be served at the season finale and he does recipe challenges against semi famous people.
Like I said, one of my favorite shows.
Then the new season premiered. Seems he changed things up a bit. The concept is taking two independent restaurant owners of the same cuisine and pitting themselves against one another. So, two Italian chefs, two Indian chefs...you get the idea.
Yeah, this ain't what I signed up for.
There were two episodes on last night and I managed to get through most of one episode. It just isn't the same.
Thank God for reruns.
