New Games, Comics, And Reviews

Well, I just got a couple of TPBs (a collection of a bunch of comic books). Two of which were Infinity Gauntlet (Marvel) and Crisis on Infinite Earths (DC).

I'm written a couple of game reviews recently. Which I've done before but not much lately.

Aside from games, here are my TPB reviews so far:

Infinity Gauntlet:

Fantastic! I, for one, do not hate old art / colors. I mean, yeah there are better artists. But the people who did the old stuff were better than the majority of artists out there.

The story was great. I love Cosmic / Sci-Fi. I also like seeing characters use their powers. Which I saw. Sadly, this was before Galactus, Surfer, and a bunch of others got a power boost around 2000. Nevertheless, it did have show of power.

Sadly, what I don't like about most pre-95 comics is the somewhat corny dialogue. Such as calling each other by their hero names, speaking their mind a bit too much, one too many thought bubbles, etc. But this was just great.

8 / 10.

Teen Titans vol. 6: Titans Around The World:

Good. Art was good, and the story was interesting.

This takes place after the One Year Later thing after Infinite Crisis (not to be confused with Crisis on Infinite Earths. Infinite Crisis is the sequel in 2005. CoIE is 1985). It starts off with us seeing, and "hearing," a bunch of things that had happened. Long story short - the Teen Titans disband after the death of Superboy, and there had been many many failed attempts to restart the team. But now, one year later (hence the name ;) ), a very fragile group of heroes has been created. One member, a subject of much debate among some members, is Deathstroke's (their biggest enemy) daughter, a killer a member of the Titans (who hides alcohol in her room).

We also get a cameo by the Doom Patrol (led by Beast Boy's, ex-Teen Titan, parents). Which leads into an interesting sidestory.

Great. 8 / 10

Green Lantern vol. 1: No Fear

Nice!

Art, admittedly, isn't that good. But it's somewhat acceptable.

Story was great. I started reading Green Lantern with #25 (end of the Sinestro Corps War). After that, I got both Sinestro Corps volumes in TPB form. But I wanted to read before that. So I grabbed this. The story is interesting, and we get some great GL moments (IE: Using the head of a Manhunter, while falling, to charge ring)

The second story didn't seem to be as interesting (this TPB contains two arcs). But it was interesting none the less.

8 / 10.
