Here are my reviews for this past week.

SPOILER WARNING!!!!!

Cable #17:

Art: Ok. But Hope does not look the age she's supposed to. He doesn't do faces well at all.

I see a pattern here. First of all, she skipped from 7 to 9 during the Messiah War arc. Apparently, she'd grown up two years before X-Force popped it. And now, from the last issue (#16) to the current issue she's jumped two years. She's been living her life without Cable. While Cable, two years in the future, lived for a few hours and was able to meet up with Hope. That doesn't make much sense, but whatever.

7.5 / 10

Uncanny X-Men #514:

Art: Ok. Never really liked this guy's work, though.

I don't really like the Dark Avengers / Uncanny X-Men crossover, but it's all going to be good because: THEY'RE LEAVING SAN FRANCISCO! At least I hope so.

So, two X-Men teams: One to fight the "Dark X-Men" and one to fight the Dark Avengers. So far, interesting comparisons. But a question comes: who will they use to fight Sentry? If Osborn uses him, I mean. He might not for the sake of public image. I will be extremely pissed off if Daken beats X-23 (X-23 beat and almost killed Lady Deathstrike. She's a smart and tactical fighter).

It's apparent to me that X-Force takes place after all the other X-Men titles. Because Wolverine, Warpath, and X-23 are here. In X-Force, Warpath is possibly dead and X-23 is in HAMMER custody.

7.5 / 10

Blackest Night #2:

Art: Great.

I like how Hal and Barry beat Martian Manhunter.

This event is so far great. I liked the scene with Aquaman. And Tempest appears to now be a Black Lantern (after he was killed by Tula or Dolphin - I can't remember which)

Pariah is back! As a Black Lantern at least. Pariah was part of the first Crisis on Infinite Earths and had a small part in Infinite Crisis. For some reason, I liked the character. I hope Alexander Luthor and Harbinger come back too.

I don't like that Spectre was taken over. It doesn't really make sense. The host maybe, but the Spectre himself shouldn't.

The fact that Dove was not brought back is interesting. They made a point that he was at peace, and therefore could not return. Hawk, on the other hand, was recruited.

8 / 10

Blackest Night: Batman #1:

Art: Good

First, Damian annoys me. Just felt like saying that.

It's interesting to note that the body could be "empty" (as in, the soul has not moved on to the afterlife and the person isn't truly dead. Just the body. Like Bruce Wayne). Deadman's corpse was brought back, but his soul still remained wandering the Earth. Interesting.

I see Deadman playing an important role in this, due to his appearance in both this and Blackest Night #2.

7.5 / 10

Green Lantern Corps #39:

Art: Pretty good.

The "Mongul Corps" are born. Mongul has taken complete control of the Corps. I can't wait for Sinestro to rip Mongul apart - and he had better.

Jade returns to haunt Kyle. Interesting. I look forward to seeing what comes of this.

I feel like this issue contained some stuff seen in Blackest Night #1.

When looked at by a Black Lantern, Guy Gardner glowed red. Black Lanterns see the colors of the corps they could belong to. I find it interesting what they've shown so far: Barry Alan showed blue (Hope), Guy is red (Rage), Tempest is blue (Hope), and the majority of GLs have shown green (Will). I just felt like mentioning that. I think it's interesting.

7.5 / 10.
