Astro City #34- Okay, I will admit it. After the great setup
in #33, this issue ended the Steel jack story arc on a whimper instead of a bang.
In some ways, I felt that writer Kurt Busiek and artist Brent Anderson were
trying too hard for a happy ending for the ex-bruiser but in other ways, I
could understand why they did it. You just want to root for the hard lucked Steeljack
and the ending will bring a smile to anyone’s lips. Another notch in this great
series.
Gutter Magic #4- After 4 issues of running through a gauntlet
of opponents, Cinder got an offer from the Morgue that may be too good to pass
up. He did however and though I initially thought it wasn’t in keeping with his
character, the final page of this miniseries showed me otherwise. That last
page also makes me think writer Rich Douek intend to continue the journey of
Cinder and Blacktooth in the future. A satisfying conclusion to the series with
the promise of more good things to come; there are worse endings. Buy it.
