Mark Bagley & Scott Hanna &
Rain Beredo & cover by Nic Klein

Age Of Ultron Book One (Marvel)


"This isn't going to be pleasant." ~ Clint Barton / Hawkeye

writer: Brian Michael Bendis
penciler: Bryan Hitch
inker: Paul Neary
colorist: Paul Mounts
letterer: VC's Cory Petit
cover art: Hitch, Neary & Mounts
assistant editors: Jake Thomas & John Denning
editors: Tom Brevoort with Lauren Sankovitch
editor in chief: Axel Alonso
chief creative officer: Joe Quesada
publisher: Dan Buckley
executive producer: Alan Fine

Kara's Comic for Comic Book Week March 6th, 2013 is the 1st ish of Marvel's newest big event "The Age Of Ultron"! :)

Ultron is an evil thinking robot that was built a long time ago by the Avenger Hank Pym...............he who was Ant Man & Giant Man & Goliath & Yellowjacket natch! ;*b ................& Ultron has always wanted to wipe out humans. This story suggests that he won the fight some time maybs yesterday? :S

The story is written by Brian Michael Bendis who has written all of Marvel's big events since like ever!!!!! "The House Of M" & "Avengers Disassemble" & "Secret War" & "Secret Invasion" & "Siege" & he helped on "Avengers Versus X-Men".................& I have always found that he starts off very strong but seems to get lost by the end of the series. So with high hopes I tried this ish &....................I hope that he writes against his normal type because I was a little bit under whelmed. The story seemed very much like it has been done before................kindof a combination of DC's "Flashpoint" & "World War 3" & "Final Crisis". Or may be I am just a little bit evented out with Marvel & disappointed by a story where the world has already ended..............meaning that there is no way the the story can end any way but with some 1 going back in to the past to change the present. & also......................SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!......................... high lite it!



..........................the Spider-Man in this ish is Peter Parker! There is no way that this is Otto Octavius!!!!!! It can only be Peter Parker & that kindof fizzles out Dan Slott's story does it not?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.............................



...................................END SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The art work by Brian Hitch is kind of cluttered but absolutely fabulous! I ❤ed Mister Hitch on the Ultimates & this may be even better!!!! :)

I hope that the story builds from here!!!!!! :/

RATING: 5 Spideys Out of 10!!!!!!

Batman #17 (DC)

"The first time was frightening, wasn't it?" ~ The Joker

writer: Scott Snyder
penciller: Greg Capullo
inker: Jonathan Glampion
colorist: Fco Plascencia
lettering: Richard Starkings & Comicraft's Jimmy Betancourt
cover: Greg Capullo & Fco Placencia
variant cover: Tony Daniel & Matt Banning & Tomeu Morey
associate editor: Katie Kubert
editor: Mike Marts

(Batman created by Bob Kane)




Kara's Comic for Comic Book Week February 13th, 2013 is "The Punchline"......................the conclusion of "Death Of The Family".......................

Well! I have seen some reviews of this ish & the whole story line & while this is was a little under whelming.........................spoilers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............................I am just happy that no 1 died!!!!!!!!!!!! The New 52 has been very depressing & dark & while I ❤ed the scarie Joker I was soooooooooo happy that Alfred & Babs & Dick & Jim & Tim & Jason & even Damian all survived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

The art work was fabulous..................I do not think that I have read any complaints about the fab Greg & Jonathan & Fco in their very dark & twisted & kindof sketchie! :)

The lettering was suitable but after the whole story I am not sure if the Joker's 'crazy' font was really necessary or not....................but I do not think that it hurt. :S

I ❤ Scott Snyder................although I was I much bigger fan of his Dick as Batman than Bruce. & while the story ending was a little bit of a let down I am not sure if it could have been handled any better. The members of the Bat Family have been left with a radioactive element..............called 'Ha' ;b .......................that appears to repel them....................I think? Although it could also be that they just do not trust Bruce...............9,9

I am just sooooooooooo happy that they all survived! Especially Dick! ❤ ;9

& the scene of the faces on the dinner plates was sooooooooooo.........................just creepy! 80

RATING: 8 Dick's bums out of 10!!!!!!!!! (yay!)

Clint Barton Hawkeye helps his neighbor Grills & his dad in a house flood in Queens..........drawn lusciously by Steve Lieber.............& Kate Bishop Hawkeye finds looters while looking for medicine in New Jersey.............drawn ably by Jesse Hamm.

This is not my fav ish of the series but it is a fitting get well card for many hurting people. *hugs!* :(

RATING: 8½ Kates out of 10!!!!!!!!

"Six months from now, who's even going to remember Dollar Bill?" ~ Byron Lewis / Mothman

variant covers: Darwyn Cooke / Jim Lee with Scott Williams & Alex Sinclair

Kara's 2nd Comic is "I Want To Be In Pictures"..............a 1 shot that tells the story of actor William Benjamin Brady.................Dollar Bill natch! ;b ...................that leads up to the scene shown only in 1 picture in the original "The Watchmen" series & movie................the hero Dollar Bill dying to a criminals gun with his cape tangled in a revolving door. :'(

This ish has no huge consequences & we know the out come from the very start but Len Wein & Steve Rude are living legends that make me feel sad & happy for William...................I recommend this ish! :')

RATING: Another 8½ Kates out of 10!!!!!!!!
