The Good ☺ , The Bad ☹ & The Ugly ☠ !

Hi! I wanted to try some thing a little bit different for Comic book week July 6th, 2011, so I have picked 3 comix that I read last week as the good & the bad & the ugly! Let me know if you like this format or not!

Oh & there might be some little spoilers so read at your own risk! lol! ;))

Secret Six #35 (DC)

writer: Gail Simone ( ♥ )
artist: J. Caliafiore
colorist: John Kalisz
letterer: Travis Lanham
cover: Daniel LuVisi
assistant editor: Ricky Purdin
editor: Rachel Gluckstern

"Caution to the Wind Part One of Two"







Although this ish is the good this week it is also the bad & the ugly that it is the 2nd to last issue of the series. :'(

I have written repeatedly that I ♥ this comic! & the best part this month is new character King Shark!

i reeeeeeallie would ♥ to know the tune 2 know his fishie tune! :)

The art work is dark & disturbing.........the story is funny & twisted..........& the characters are vile & hate full..........& I am sooooooo going to miss it! X'O

RATING: 9 goods out of 10!          ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☹


Fear Itself #4 of 7 (Marvel)

creators: Matt Fraction, Stuart Immonen, Wade Von Grawbadger, Laura Martin, Chris Eliopoulos, Lauren Sankovitch, Tom Brevoort, Axel Alonso, Joe Quesada, Dan Buckley & Alan Fine

"Chapter 4: Worlds On Fire"










The bad this week was not very bad...........I very much enjoyed this ish! It was my favorite issue of the comic  up to now! The art work is beautiful & the story is starting to come to a point...........although it seems to be a little bit overly complicated............I am not sure that 7 chapters were really required to tell it but it has been good enough that I will probably continue to read it to the end.

As part of that story, though, we...........& I am sorry but here is where there may be a spoiler!...........see Tony Stark / Iron Man........... ♥ RDJ ♥ .............travel to Asgard to convince Odin...........the father of the mighty Thor...........to not destroy Earth. Since Tony is only a human............barely worth the notice of the king of the gods...........he tries to gain Odin's attention by the sacrifice of his dignity & integrity by giving up his sobriety & drinking a bottle of wine in front of Odin. It is a moment that is meant to be moving & full of meaning in a story that is to be full of fear.........a story that was fulfilling its task to me quite well until a read the label on the bottle.............

i reallie like the horns on the helmet dont u? 9,9

For those of you who do not know there is a classic Iron Man story called "Demon In A Bottle" by David Michelinie & Bob Layton & John Byrne & Carmine Infantino. It is all about Tony Stark battling alcoholism which is of course the reason this scene is to be very poignant...........you can read about the story here.........but to me...........& you may disagree with me.............the humor of naming the wine "Démon Dans Une Bouteille"...........which is french for demon in a bottle..........made me chuckle at the wrong time. If the bottle had been not been made larger to clearly show the label then I may have been calling this Kara's comic this week. :(

RATING: 6 bads out of 10!           ☹ ☹ ☹ ☹ ☹ ☹ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺


izombie #15 (Vertigo/DC)

writer: Chris Roberson
artist & cover: Michael Allred
colors: Laura Allred
letters: Todd Klein
assistant editor: Gregory Lockyard
editor: Shelly Bond

(iZOMBIE created by Roberson & Allred)

"Going Down"






izombie is sooooo much fun every month! Michael Allred is a legend & the art work is both contemporary & classic..........telling the story & being fun & powerful all at the same time! & between this comic book & Cinderella Chris Roberson is 1 of my favorite writers! The characters are engaging & the story............of Gwen the zombie that only eats the brains of dead people but gains their memories............is very unique & entertaining! In fact the new back up story of The Dead Presidents..........who seem to be kind of like Fringe style para normal investigators who may really be dead United States presidents possessing bodies...........may even be more fun than the main story! & the 2 are now even clearly coming together!

So why do I call this comic ugly? Look at the zombies!!!!!!!!!! lol!

yuckie! XP
............but Spot the were terrier is sooooo cute! & actually Amon Ra the other 'not face melted' zombie kind of hot..............

RATING: 9 uglies out of 10!         ☠ ☠ ☠ ☠ ☠ ☠ ☠ ☠ ☠ ✿

  3. Yeah, I may give Suicide Squad a look. I've always been a fan of Ostrander's Suicide Squad from way back, so maybe a post Secret Six Suicide Squad will fill the gap that Secret Six leaves.

    But, yeah... Harley... mmmm... we'll see.

  4. the more i think about harleys costume the more i get a little bit nervous about the suicide squad.......i all ways picture harley quinn 2 be kindof naive & maybs a little bit harm less on the surface.......any sexualitie kindof sneaks out & focusses mainly on mr j........that costume just seems 2 be out of character 4 her :(
