Deadly Class #5- The acid trip continues as the issue starts
right where #4 ends. This issue is strange in that after reading it, I can't help
but think writer Rick Remender is spinning his wheels here. I have to
admit a lot did happen. Marcus and Billy killed Billy's dad and Marcus
and Maria finally gets hot and heavy; however the main problem is in the structure of
the issue. It starts with Marcus in trouble and it ends with Marcus in trouble;
both times with the law. The issue is both good and bad, both in equal portions.
Ms. Marvel #4- After 4 issues, I can safely say what kind of series
writer G. Willow Wilson is trying to write here. She is doing a Year One series and
doing it right! When Kamala shouts "Die, spooky robot thing!" while
beating up a small robot, it was hilarious yet at the same time so right! She's
brand new to her powers and has no mentor or father-figure to sound off on,
only what she reads about them on the internet, so it make sense Kamala would
say stupid things while fighting (she can blame Spiderman for that later). Even
the small scale conflict she is having makes sense. She has no movement powers
(no flight, no super-speed, no teleportation) so she's basically the neighborhood
hero. Wilson and artist Adrian Alphona is putting together a winner here. Hope
it last.
Red Lantern #31- I have to say I don't get writer Charles
Soule's decision to have the new Red Lantern leaves with Guy Gardener instead
of Atrocitus. Sheko mind-read Atrocitus and found him innocent; so why didn't she
leave with him instead of the group she haven't read yet? That makes no sense.
Which is too bad because the rest of the issue was great! Kara's inability to
control her emotions became a huge
problem for the Reds and it took both Bleez and Guy to cool her down. When
these two have to tell you to cool it, it tells you the massive problem Kara has. Too bad about Sheko's decision though; this issue could have been great.
