Green Lantern Corps #28



Green Lantern Corps #28
Written by Peter Tomasi and Illustrated by Luke Ross
Published by DC Comics


This issue of Green Lantern starts right after the last issue. All of the Green Lanterns are looking at a big tube that has all of those eyeballs that fell down on them. They bring Green Lantern Saarek in to talk to them because he has a power to talk to dead people and is going to talk to the eyes.

I like how Lantern Saarek was talking to the eyeballs to find out what happened. It was pretty cool when the eyes got all together and surrounded him and made like one giant human made out of eyes and then it showed him a bunch of those alien creatures as the person who killed all the Lantern’s family.

There were a lot of parts that I thought were good in the book. I think its cool how many different types of Green Lanterns there are. I liked seeing the bird Green Lantern the most. I like how they showed the Lantern Guy charging up his ring and getting mad that he was interrupted. And it was really cool that Lantern Kyle is an artist and was making like a Green Lantern symbol with an eye in the middle.

I like when the Green Lanterns started to go after the bad guy they thought did the killing but it turned out to be many of them and they were all Yellow Lanterns. The evil alien Lanterns were so creepy. It was weird when the girl alien blaster herself instead of being captured. It was cool how the other one got his arm ripped off by Green Lantern’s ring shield. The weird thing was that the hurt alien threatens to rip the Green Lanterns eyes out but how could he do that if he only had one arm left. I think he was just faking the threat.

It was cool how there ended up being 5 evil Yellow Lanterns in total that just looked the same and they were a family. The sister was killed when she blasted herself and one of the brothers got his arm ripped off. A team of Green Lanterns was able to capture the rest of them and put them in a jail pretty easy. I wish the fight would have been a little longer. It would have been better if the Green Lanterns and Yellow Lanterns had a big fight instead of the Green Lanterns just winning so quick and easy.

It was funny at the end when the Green Lanterns are tired from all the work and want to go drink beer and eat hamburgers and relax. It was a fun book and I like seeing all the different Green Lanterns in it. It just would have been a little better with some more action.

Deadpool #1



Deadpool #1
Written by Daniel Way and Illustrated by Paco Medina
Published by Marvel Comics


I think Deadpool is pretty cool. I have his action figure and I saw a lot of ads for this comic in all the other comics I read. I was really happy when I saw that this came out today. It was the first time that I read a Deadpool comic so I didn’t know what I was expecting.

It’s a funny comic book that is also serious. The Skrulls are attacking in this comic like they are in a lot of other comics that I’m reading but it’s a little sillier in this book.
A big Skrull ship is getting ready to land in a baseball field during a game and then the stupid mascot starts waving at the ship. The Skrull leaders shoot the mascot and then land the ship to take over the baseball stadium.

The next page made me laugh a lot because the mascot is really Deadpool. He’s still in the mascot outfit except for his real head and he has two huge machine guns and wants to know how to curse in the Skrull language. All of the Skrulls look like they’re going to attack but they start asking for Deadpool’s autograph instead. I like how Deadpool calls them ‘little green weirdos’.

It turns out that Deadpool was just imagining that the Skrulls wanted his autograph. He’s just crazy. And not crazy like how Batman is going around beating up bad guys with pipes and bats. Deadpool is crazy where he just goes around and does really stupid stuff and he doesn’t make any sense. Like in one part he takes off his parachute because he’s not falling to the ground fast enough. What kind of sense does that make?

At one part the Skrulls send in a super skrull who has Iron Man’s power and the Torch’s and a water guy’s and Deadpool isn’t even fighting him. I was laughing while I was reading this part because Deadpool is singing the coconut song while he’s making a bomb to put on the Skrull ship. All the Skrulls want to fight but Deadpool just sings his dumb song while he blows up the ship. I laughed again because Deadpool started imagining that all of the Skrulls were videogame people. It was drawn really funny, too, just like if someone was playing a game of this.

There was a part that was kinda gross when he got his head hurt and they showed his gross skin. I don’t know why his skin looks all messed up like that but at least now I know why he wears a mask.

A few other parts I liked about the art were how the Skrull ship was drawn and how the Super Skrull looked. I like the last page with how Deadpool was acting like he was in the army and the picture of him saluting was done very well.

I was pretty surprised by the end, but I’m not sure if he’s just imagining it or not. It’s hard to tell because he’s just so nuts. He’s really crazy. I like him because he does weird things and he’s funny about it. He’s making jokes and talking stupid while doing his battles. It’s like you can’t figure out what he’s going to do and that’s fun. I’m glad this book was so good. I didn’t want to get mad since I was really looking forward to it. It’s probably going to end up being one of my favorite comics.

Amazing Spider-Man #571



Amazing Spider-Man #571
Written by Dan Slott and Illustrated by John Romita Jr
Published by Marvel Comics


This is one of the first books I read every week because it’s one of my favorites. I think it would be a good idea to try and save a bunch of the issues one time and read them all together like one big story, especially this one. There’s a lot going on and it’s continuing for awhile so I could probably just save them all and do a big giant review of the whole story.

The best part of this comic is that I was in it. They printed my Kraven review in the letter page of the comic with my name, too. That was frigging awesome! It was the best surprise! It was so cool that the guy who makes Spider-Man talked about me in the comic, too. I’ll probably send him a lot more reviews because he asked for ones even if I don’t like the books. I don’t know why he only played with a pet rock though. That doesn’t sound like its fun at all. How the heck are you supposed to play with a rock and how can it be a pet. That’s probably an awful pet.

I had a big problem because Green Goblin is on the cover fighting Spider-Man and there is no Green Goblin fight in the book. There is a picture of Green Goblin fighting Spider-Man that Harry is remembering but that doesn’t count. I did like that Harry remembers his dad was the Green Goblin.

The comic starts with Spider-Man still getting attacked by Anti-Venom. Anti-Venom thinks that he’s helping Spider-Man but he’s actually stealing his powers and making things worse. Spider-Man is able to get free because Anti-Venom sees the old Venom and wants to go after him instead.

Last issue had a fight between two Venoms and a lot of this issue was a fight between two goblins but Norman never changed into his costume. He was still pretty tough, though. I like how Menace kept calling Norman and old man and Norman wouldn’t give up. He kept holding onto Menace’s glider and then used some secret signal to blow the glider up. That was unexpected.

Anti-Venom didn’t do as much in this issue. He already beat Venom and he thought he was going to fix Spider-Man but Spider-Man didn’t want to lose his powers. Norman’s team of bad guys does some fighting against Anti-Venom but Anti-Venom really just wants to go after Venom and make sure he’s done.

I thought it was neat that Norman stole Spider-Man’s camera and thinks that now he has a way to track Spider-Man. And I’m really glad that Bullseye is free now. He’s a very cool and dangerous bad guy and I think if he fights Spider-Man it’s going to be a very tough battle.

The art is very good, again. I like how Menace and Anti-Venom are drawn. They both are great bad guys. The fights between Norman and Menace and Spider-Man and the Thunderbolts are drawn well and the action is great. I would have liked to see Spider-Man fight the Green Goblin but it was still a good issue.

Marvel Adventures: Spider-Man #43



Marvel Adventures: Spider-Man #43
Written by Marc Sumerak and illustrated by Carlos Ferreira
Published by Marvel Comics


I like how on the cover the killer whale is ready to eat Spider-Man and he looks so scared and everyone in the stands is just watching it.

The story in this comic was about a Peter taking a school trip to a big aquarium. One of the killer whales that’s supposed to do tricks goes crazy and then this bad guy who’s called Orka starts to cause problems by tearing up the place.

Peter has to turn into Spider-Man to save people and stop Orka but there’s no place for him to change so he has to get dressed where all the smelly dead fish are kept. The fight between Orka and Spider-Man is cool. Orka is a lot stronger than Spider-Man. Spider-Man says that a whale is stronger than a spider so he’s worried that he might lose. The good news is that Orka is also very slow and dumb so Spider-Man thinks he has a chance to win.

I liked how Spider-Man got the spear gun and used it to get the bad guy off guard. He shot the gun into a statue of a fish and used it to smash the fish into Orka but that didn’t really stop him. It’s fun because Spider-Man has to beat Orka but the killer whale is chasing Spider-Man and trying to eat him at the same time.

One of my favorite parts is when Spider-Man rides two dolphins like water skis to chase down Orka. It was funny and the picture was drawn very well. There’s another picture of Spider-Man that looks good right after Peter changes that I liked a lot.

Some more funny stuff happens like when Spider-Man took over and started to make all the hand signals to get the big killer whale to beat up the bad guy with. The killer whale smashing up Orka was good. And then Spider-Man high fives the killer whale’s fin.

It was a pretty good issue. I didn’t like Orka all that much. I don’t think he was a great bad guy like Spider-Man’s other bad guys but the battle was cool and there were some funny parts in it which is good.

Atomic Robo Vol 2 #1



Atomic Robo Vol 2 #1
Written by Brian Clevinger and illustrated by Scott Wegener and Zack Frinfrock
Published by Red 5 Comics


The cover of this comic is so cool. It’s a robot in an army outfit holding a machine gun.

The comic is about a Robot that is used by the army to go into battle and kick butt. It takes place a long time ago during one of the wars and the US is using Robo to help win.

The battles scenes are all really good. I like the boats filled with soldiers heading towards land to invade the bad guys. I like how Robo and his army friends took a plane to try and land where the enemy bases are and there are battleships in the water trying to shoot the plane out of the sky. It was cool how the battle ships shot the plane and they needed Robo to jump out but he was a little scared because he thought he was too heavy for the parachute to work. Then his friends told him to jump or they were going to push him out of the plane.

Another funny part was how one of the soldiers told his friend that even if he gets killed he still owes him ten dollars from a bet. It was also really funny when Robo just got mad about all the shooting and called the bad guys jerks

The robot fight parts were interesting. I like how the robot used different moves to beat the German soldiers. He punched and kicked them and used weapons to beat them too. I like how he did a lot of different things to beat the enemy soldiers. He was running around and doing moves like he was a person and then he would pick up a machine gun and use that, too. He also used a rocket launcher which rocked!

I think my favorite part was when Robo destroyed the enemy truck and used the door as a shield and charged the bad guys. That looked really cool. In the end it looked like Robo was going to win pretty easily. He beat up all the enemy soldiers and none of them could hurt them with bullets or their fists. But the secret was that the bad soldiers have a bunch of robots of their own and one of them really beats down Robo.

The second story was very short but the fight with the monster was good. I want to see more of that.

I liked the art. Robo looks great and I like how he looks with the uniform. The giant enemy robot and crab monster he fights look cool, too. There’s a good picture of Robo charging the crab that looked really amazing.

It was a pretty good comic that I never heard of before and I want to read the next issue to find out if Robo beats the bad robot or not. It should be a crazy battle.

Green Lantern Corps #27



Green Lantern Corps #27
Written by Peter Tomasi and Illustrated by Luke Ross
Published by DC Comics


Green Lantern is one of the best superheroes out there. I like how there are so many of them and they all have different costumes and look different but still have the same powers. I think it’s cool that there is a whole friggin team of them.

I read two Green Lantern books this week, but there was more going on in this one. There were more Green Lanterns in the book and it took place now instead of older times and I only wanted to review one Green Lantern book. This was my favorite of the two books although I thought it was awesome when Green Lantern Hal made a jet crash into the bad guy in the other book.

There was a lot of interesting stuff in this comic. I like how two of them started a restaurant on an alien planet but one of the aliens doesn’t know what a cheeseburger is.

I like how there are so many different kinds of Green Lanterns. I thought the one who looked like a giant bee was the coolest but there was even a monkey Green Lantern, too. I also liked the Green Lantern who is able to talk to dead Green Lanterns.

It was pretty wild that there was a planet that was eating one of the bad guys. I couldn’t believe that. I laughed when the Green Lanterns said that the planet’s fart was going to be awful.

I thought the Green Lanterns practicing on each other was neat and how they were using their rings to do battles.

One part that was very surprising was when all the Green Lanterns thought it was raining heavy but the rain was really eyeballs. The eyeball scene was a little gross. The bad guy that nobody knows about goes to a planet where the Green Lantern who looks like a bear lives and kills everyone there and steals their eyes. I couldn’t believe he killed all of them just because they were friends and family of a Green Lantern. But then he went to the planet where all the Green Lanterns were and started dropping all the eyes on them. Very gross.

The art in this comic was pretty good. I like how they drew a whole bunch of different Green Lanterns, especially the aliens and the bee Lantern. The eyeballs falling from the sky looked good, too even though it was creepy. And the evil monster on the last page looks like a great bad guy. I also like how a lot of the pages look green and not because of the Green Lanterns. ‘

I wish the Green Lanterns would have used their powers more though. Their rings are awesome and they should be showing them using them a lot. Other than that it was good.

Invincible Iron Man #5



Invincible Iron Man #5
Written by Matt Fraction and illustrated by Salvador Larroca
Published by Marvel Comics


In this comic Iron Man is hunting down Stane, who is the son of the bad guy Iron Monger in the Iron Man movie. Stane is blowing up a lot of buildings and killing innocent people so Iron Man has to stop him before he hurts anyone else.

A lot of the beginning is mostly talking and Iron Man and his friends have to try and figure out which building is going to be attacked next. It’s pretty slow in the first half because they’re all just looking for Stane and not doing a good job of finding him.

When a big building blows up the story starts to get better. Stane has his own armor but it’s different from what his dad wore and what Iron Man wore. It’s kinda good. I like Iron Man’s costume better.

The battle between Iron Man and Stane was great. They do a lot of hard punching and other moves. Stane shoots Iron Man through a wall and Iron Man does the same thing to him. They keep pounding each other into walls and getting their armor more wrecked. I thought it was great when Iron Man used his boot jets to shoot Stane and it made him go flying. But even that blast didn’t really hurt Stane because his armor is very strong. Stane is a good bad guy for Iron Man because his armor is just as strong and it makes it hard for Iron Man to beat him. Iron Man even says that Stane’s blasts feel like a train is hitting him.

The end was wild with Stane shooting Iron Man in the head and there is no head on the Iron Man armor anymore. Stane thinks he killed Iron Man but I don’t think he did. I think there’s a trick or something and that it was a different person in the Iron Man suit.

I liked the art in the book. The armor looks pretty cool on Iron Man and Stane. There are some really cool pictures of Iron Man flying and battling. I like how the artist draws buildings and stuff. It all looks like it’s from the future. I also really like how the artist puts a lot of drawings on the page, too. There’s a lot of detail in it that I like.

It was a good book, but I wish there was a lot more action of Iron Man in it.
