The Kevin Smith stuff I always look back on and think was weak&#8230;and then I read it again and it&#8217;s actually not. It&#8217;s nicely built up and Joey Q is a fine artist. Highly enjoyable but no where near as enjoyable as Bendis!<\/p>\n<p>I like David Mack, I enjoy his art and I have some Kabuki which I enjoyed. Now get him the fuck off Daredevil. Echo is fine, go write about Echo but make it a mini somewhere else, I may even buy it. But give me back Bendis &#038; Maleev goodness!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Powers<\/strong>.<br \/>\nRead the first 30 issues of this last night and it really does read much better in trades or a run. Much more fun and much tighter all tied together. I had been thinking that it got weaker as it went along but it doesn&#8217;t really. It was just reading it spread over months which took some stuff away. Supergroup has such a great ending.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Red Star<\/strong>.<br \/>\nI picked up the trade of this a few weeks ago and put it on the shelf to read at a later date. Alex mentioned it the other day (and by mentioned I mean raved about it) so I read the collected edition a couple of nights ago. I am now firmly onboard the Red Star bandwagon. I don&#8217;t recall reading a series that I&#8217;ve been as impressed with straight off as this. The art is oh so lovely and backed up by a not bad story at all. Went onto my pull order straight away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hellblazer<\/strong>, the Ennis trades.<br \/>\nAgain due to a conversation with Alex, we were talking about Carey and Azz&#8217;s take on Constantine and she said to read these. So I did. The first two are great and the ending is great. The middle is less great but still good fun and very different from what I&#8217;ve read in the last couple of years. Dangerous Habits could work quite well for the movie but does really need a Constantine who can act.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rex Mundi.<\/strong><br \/>\nSlow but pretty. Just gone monthly and the story really needs to pick up the pace to keep me onboard in singles. The first 5 are due out in a trade soon which I&#8217;m glad to see as I do think it deserves it but to keep me on board in singles I want some plot progression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crossposted from The V Not this weeks, not this months, in some cases not this years or even this centurys centurys comics but it&#8217;s late on a Sunday and I&#8217;m bored.
