The Spotlight...
- JAN092467 DARK AVENGERS #3 DKR $3.99
It's starting to look like this is just going to be one of those comics. After a surprisingly efficient first issue, I took a reluctant chance on the second, only to be far more disappointed than the starring role of Morgan le Fay had me expecting. Deodato isn't the prettiest artist around right now, regardless of the "dark" nature of the book. Not quite as hideous is Bendis' hodge-podge writing, but it's nothing to get tickled pink over. As is often the case with El Bóveda del Cromo, the high concept is pretty sound, but it looks like the execution is going to be spotty, at best. The explosive "death" of Sentry, perpetrated by a time travelling le Fay seeking vengeance for her previous self's decapitation, is a possible highlight for net nerds and macabre haters.

- AUG080030 END LEAGUE #7 $2.99
For many, it was unwittingly that they embraced the cultural movement of analogous superheroes, thanks to the bigscreen adaptation of Watchmen. End League doesn't appear nearly as adventurous as the individualist approach that makes Watchmen a wholely fleshed out entity unto itself, but the principle of imitation is far from disappointing. The first couple of issues of the series were part of a Christmas to remember, for me. Borrowing heavily from Marvel and DC to reinterpret the superhero genre in catastrophic terms implausible to corporate giants, End League is a book any superhero fan can enjoy, and at $2.99, should! Back issues should still be available, and affordable, but failing that, there's always the first trade to catch you up! Included in the post-apocalyptic romp is the exciting second-issue battle between heroes reminiscent of a certain archetype and his godly counterpart.

- JAN094475 STREET FIGHTER LEGENDS CHUN LI #2 (OF 4) $3.95
With Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li turning out to be a spectacular failure both financially, and creatively, some fans might be looking for a little retribution. Fret not, thigh lovers! Chun-Li continues her early adventures in the completely unrelated, second volume of UDON's Street Fighter Legends line! This month, another key moment in Street Fighter history rolls out, as we witness the fated confrontation between Go Hibiki and Sagat -- the fight that drives Dan to be all he isn't -- and the battle that cost Sagat his depth perception (aka; eye)! All this, and an Asian Chun-Li, as well! Yay!
