SuperMegaSpeed Reviews

New Avengers 32 - i enjoy all-dialogue issues but i'm sure there will be howls in racmu. Bendis writes a very funny Spider-Man. this Skrull stuff is going to be very cool. i also like the 'casket of ancient winter' type cross-over, with the New Avengers' plane losing power due to events in Mighty. Also means that the Tony Stark that Spider-Woman is taking Elektra-Skrull's body to is currently possessed by Ultron. But if you're dealing with Skrulls, why wouldn't you go to Mr. Fantastic?

Punisher War Journal 9 - ... No really, it's not over yet? This was actually slightly better than the previous issues and has more of the 'Punisher fights Super-Villains' angle (the whole point of this series) since the Hate Monger is using... hee hee... H-Rays, which means he is a real Hate Monger and not just a racist in a costume. But the pacing is still glacial.

Omega Flight 4 - It took 4 issues (out of 5?), but we now have a team. Good full-issue fight scene but action sequences aren't this artist's strong suite (God help me i like Yu's fights better, although Kolins is a better artist overall).

Nova 4 - this was good, but not good enough to make me regret not getting the first three non-Annihilation: Conquest issues. I don't think the Phalanx are being written correctly. They are machines; they would be much more menacing even if they were dispassionate even when they are losing. We shouldn't see them saying things like "Incredible!", and they shouldn't ever use exclamation points.

Wraith 1 - rumors about Wraith actually being ROM don't seem to be based on much. Sure he's got a gun which could be a new type of Neutralizer, but he isn't using it like one. The name obviously could point to some sort of Dire tragedy that happened to the character but scans are showing him as human. And what's with the darkforce-like powers? Dark sorcery? If he's not ROM, I hope there is some sort of twist to this story since it's looking pretty generic right now (i'm down on this writer after the Super-Skrull series so i'm probably being unfair). The Phalanx complaint i had with Nova applies here, too. Moreso, actually.
