Chili Pepper Chris’s Comic Cave: Issue #7
Due to the Memorial Day holiday comics do not come out this Wednesday but I’m still going to give you reviews on 2 books that came out in the past couple weeks since I’m still a bit behind on my reading. I’ll get caught up at some point…..
DC: All Star Batman and Robin #5
UGH! I’m usually a big fan of the work of Frank Miller but he’s writing this piece of crap and I still shake my head in disbelief. After nearly 2 years we’re only at issue 5 which would almost be forgiveable if this rag was any good. The only saving grace is Jim Lee’s beautiful art but that doesn’t make a great comic (sorry 90’s era Image Comics). I love Batman but Miller has made him into a nearly psychotic asshole and in this issue some of the Justice League guest stars–and they are totally unlikable as well. Batman in the regular DC continuity is a great character and somebody I love to read about. This version of Batman just needs to die in a grimy alley somewhere—and take the rest of your supporting cast with you. My Grade: F+ (the plus is for Jim Lee’s art)

Little Green Men
It’s not what you think. These little green men are just two guys, Jason and Spencer, with a spaceship sized idea: Eco-friendly house cleaning services.

There is one reason you should buy this and it's Alex Ross. The man is an unbelievably talented artist and he does the interior art in this thing front to back, not just the cover which he's been doing mostly for a long while now. This book is beautiful!
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...
