Invincible #62
Holy crap, what a slugfest; with sound effect text that fills an entire splash page. The art and feel of things beat any of the slugfests produced by Marvel or DC in recent times (for shame Superman, for shame). It isn't over yet it looks to be a three issue or so slugfest, also in this issue some nice overshadowing of Cecil's plans.
Green Lantern Corps #36
All hell is breaking loose on Oa, the Corps can't seem to deal with one red lantern and their Sciencells prisoners. Sodam Yat has a moment of pure epic heroics on his home planet and Sinstro reveals a lot about his long term plans. Good solid Green Lantern action, I just hope that Blackest Night doesn't ruin all this good build up.
Walking Dead #61The start of a new plot arc for walking dead, it seems to be another study in how the humans are still more dangerous and horrible than the zombies. There is a moment in the issue that gives you pause even compared to all the dreadful events that have come before. The group is again fractured in what answers they have to tough situations. It remains one of the best lines out there.
Solomon Grundy #3A confused Grundy gets flashes of his life from the 1800's and encounters Poison Ivy. Slightly above average reading this issue, I do like the Solomon Grundy character but I don't think they've hit the sweet spot yet. The art can be cluttered but suits the flashbacks.
Irredeemable #2
What happens when supermen go bad, we've all seen an evil superman story before. A bit bland on the whole; an array of heros and villains hiding from and trying to kill or capture the Plutonian. This issue is a discusion with the Lois Lane-a-like on the Plutonians weaknesses and background.
Dark Reign - The Cabal
A selection of short stories staring the villians who make up Norman Osborne's ruling group. Lots of villains plotting and the sparkling gem is the Dr. Doom story "... And I'll Get The Land". The art is varied and well considered, I enjoyed this one shot of villainy.
