Comics this week

The Thanos Imperative #4- Thanos Imperative #4 will be remembered for one thing and one thing only. The moment Nova, Gladiator, Silver Surfer, Ronan, Beta Ray Bill and Quasar smashed into Lord Mar-Vell's ship and totaled it. The mission wasn’t a totally success but my god, it was fun to watch. Writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning need to do more of this and more of the fight at the Fault. The Guardians of the Galaxy stealth mission in the Cancerverse was the bleeding...cancer of this issue. The rebirth of Thanos was no surprise but the way it was done had me shaking my head. I hope the writers noticed that they just made Thanos unkillable. That will be a huge problem down the line. Still as long as the fights are as good as it was in this issue, things are good.

Green Lantern #57- This! This is why the other lanterns deserved their own series! When Green Lantern: Emerald Warrior became the latest series that came out, there was a collective groan from fans. This issue proves why WE WERE RIGHT! The sheer story potential of the Star Sapphire were on full show this issue as Carol Ferris showed up Hal Jordan and proved there was more than one way to solve a problem. I’m not thrilled at Carol’s new position at the end of the issue. I rather see more of her in the field but between Geoffs Johns’ story and Doug Mahnke's artwork, this issue is a winner.
