The Deep Dish...
- DEC070194 BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS #4 $2.99After a shakey start and a last minute change of creative team, Batman and the Outsiders finally starts to look like normalizing. The cover alone warrants big time excitement as another non-powered human joins the team, and promises to bring with him a whole lot of friction! Green Arrow remains an Infinite Wars favourite after a big end to 2007, and the continued value of his stock with this book, and strong outings in the monthly now officially shared with title character, Black Canary.
- DEC070185 COUNTDOWN TO FINAL CRISIS 10 $2.99
When Countdown was first floated, the prospect of teaming the trio of Donna Troy, Kyle Rayner, and Jason Todd, as a universe-hopping riff on the Challengers of the Unknown, seemed like a great novelty to include in the series. Now that we're approaching the business-end of the titular anticipation; the prospect of the team existing beyond the Search for Ray Palmer is a surprisingly delicious one! I think I'm starting to really hope this trio of titans can last beyond the year-long weekly series, and spin-out in a more convincing way than 52's off-shoots.
- DEC072228 CABLE DEADPOOL #50 $3.99A string of mediocre issues comes to an end as Cable & Deadpool comes to an unceremonious close. The series, which has mostly served as a title for the merc with a mouth, will wrap things up with a bunch of guest stars, reducing Deadpool's current appearance schedule to the less than thrilling, Wolverine: Origin. However, there's no need to fear, true believer! Word from Marvel is already suggesting something in the future for the 'Poolman! With Cable heavily embroiled in the goings on of the X-Universe, this might mean the return to a solo series!...
One thing's for sure: Sales have helped prolong Deadpool's agonizing death before, so to keep your favourite sword slinging IBS sufferer on shelves, buy this issue!!!
- DEC072187 HULK #2 $2.99
Alright, so I don't go around flaunting it, but sure. I've got some industry contacts, and they've let slip some of the darkest secrets of the mainstream comics industry. A little known fact the public might like to know? There's no such thing as too many Iron Man/Hulk fights.The Red Hulk gets his initiation in this second issue of a series already receiving decidedly mixed reviews. I think it's fair to say Ed McGuinness on a Hulk title has been a long time coming [Deadpool #4].
The intelligent part of my brain tells me this is neither a series to become attached to, nor is it something that should be expected to illicit any kind of marvellous story. That said, I like to think of myself as a well balanced compromise between broad intelligence and connooisseur of the dismissively so-called 'low brow' end of entertainment. As such, I do find myself interested.
- DEC072163 ULTIMATE HUMAN #2 (OF 4) $2.99
And with something like two hours sleep to my record (contributing to recent lack of feature updates), we round out with a very convenient mini-series. Convenient because you probably didn't believe me when I mentioned just now that there's no such thing as too much Hulk/Iron Man. Well, the proof's in the Warren Ellis pudding. Yes'm.
