CpC3: Issue #2
Marvel: Civil War #7
Iron Man is a douchebag! Marvel’s big mini-series event has finally ended and although I thought this was a good read I was kind of disappointed or I should say saddened by the ending. I don’t want to give to much info about this because any fan of Marvel Comics should pick this series up (I believe a trade paperback is due out soon). There is great action in this issue and as has been through the series, Steve McNiven’s art ROCKS! There is still a lot of books coming out in the following months that tie into this series and this appears to have changed the world of Marvel a great deal as was promised. I’m excited to see what’s coming and hope that some favorite characters can be redeemed. And remember–IRON MAN IS A DOUCHEBAG!!

CpC3: Chili Pepper Chris’s Comic Cave Issue #1
So you know those little books with the pretty pictures and impossible stories about the kids who were nerds and then grew into men with “special” powers and started dating women who look like they just stepped off a runway somewhere with an uncanny knack to need to be “rescued“? No not Playboy, I’m talking about Comic Books (if you wanna talk about Playboy or the like you’d have to visit the NSFW section)

Thursday Prophesies: Love thy Neighbor
Well the Prophet is at it again, check out this true story he found:
A city councilman, Mark Easton, lives in this neighborhood. He had a beautiful view of the east mountains, until a new neighbor purchased the lot below his house and built. Apparently, the new home was 18 inches higher than the ordinances would allow, so Mark Easton, mad about his lost view, went to the city to make sure they enforced the lower roof line ordinance.

Written by Jimmy Palmiotti with art by Phil Noto, issue 1 of this 5 issue mini starts off with a Female Fury named Maelstrom who wants to become the queen of the evil ruler Darkseid and plans to do it by killing Superman. When she shows up on Earth she first encounters Supergirl and the aftermath of the battle takes a tragic turn. Pick this up. It apparently takes place before all of the Final Crisis crap, is devoid of excess continuity and has great art. Grade: A
YES WE CAN!
....'nuff said. 
Totally scare the shit out of your neighbors and then take their candy! Bwahahahaha! 
Wow! Just freakin' awesome and if you are not onboard with all things Green Lantern related then you are missing out. Geoff Johns writes one heck of a tale here that formally introduces us to the Red Lantern Corps, rage powered individuals who are sure to give the Green Lantern Corps one hell of a time. Shane Davis pencils this issue and the guy is unbelievable. There's a splash page in this issue that rivals what Ivan Reis is doing in the main ongoing GL book. Buy this one! Grade: A+
So far I haven't cared much for this series. This is DC's big event book for 2008 and the big completion to their "Crisis Trilogy" started with Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1986 and continued with Infinite Crisis in 2006. This one has been a little hard to follow and frankly, a bit boring, but thankfully this issue kicks it up several notches.
Conflicted hitmen and a coked-up racist dwarf equals dark fun! 
May 8, 2009 we get to go for a ride on the U.S.S. Enterprise one more time. Well, beam me up, Scotty...
Recently I've been completely engrossed in reading Batman RIP and all things Batman related. I saw this pic up ...
