Fantastic Four #556 Comic Book Review
April 17, 2012 · Video Book Reviews · ·
So the all powerful super robot that the nu-world team built to be the peace keeper of nu-world has gone haywire and escaped to our earth and is carrying out his primary objective. That objective is to neutralize all weapons and threats. He knows no excellent or evil so anything with potential or a weapon is considered a threat including our heroes. I’ve been really disappointed in this book. I had read a lot of hype about this report arch and I usually like Mark Millar’s stuff so I was really excited to get into this one but it has been downright dull. There is none of the team dynamic that makes the FF fantastic and not a lot or real action any. No super smart plans or gadgets or strategies to save the day, nothing of what makes the Fantastic Four fantastic. They bring in 40 of marvels largest guns and all they do is throw themselves at the robot and get swatted up your sheath. There is now strategy or even dialog. Mr. Fantastic wasn’t even in this come forth which could be part of the problem and I get that all of this destruction is to build up how huge of a threat this really is until Mr. Fantastic can show up and save the day as he zooms off on some sort of fantastic bike on the last page, but really we didn’t need this come forth. It’s one of those filler issues that are supposed to build up some anticipation for the huge battle but all it did was try my patience. You can probably wait on this one until next month when the action gets started.
Batman Death Mask #1
This is the first of a four part mini series written and pinched by the incredible manga artist yoshinori natsume. Of all the super hero characters batman probably translates best into the manga style. His action, hand to hand combat, and gadgets play really well with the art style and his dark , brooding side fits to the report content as his inner demons are often more fierce and perilous than his external ones. This is a thick book, which reads right to left in the Japanese style, with a lot of content. There is a baddie from batman’s past that has returned and is attacking the citizens of Gotham and the darknight’s dreams. The art is fantastic, there is a two page panel that includes a manga version of all the batman’s foremost rogues that is cool to see, especially the female ones, and the action is swift and exciting. The colorless panels add to the pulp quality of the book and the dark tone of the report. We will also get to see a bit of history during the time Bruce Wayne spent in Japan training to become the bat. It is a fantastic read and if you are into batman, manga, or just looking for a mini series for a exchange of pace this is one you’ve got to pick up.
Titans #1
I’ve gotta tell you, I have been excited about this book for the last month or so since they’ve started advertising it. I like the titan characters, the team and their dynamic. Nightwing has always been one of my favorite characters and I reckon he facility fantastic in a team setting. I followed him owing to the teen titans, the titans and then the outsiders. Even his contemporary movement to stay away from the team setting has subdue added an fascinating depth to his character. The other characters are fantastic as well. The flash, Donna Troy, and who doesn’t like Starfire in all her free vigorous glory. Which we get to see, as she flies around animal man’s back yard pool naked as can be basking in the sun’s rays. One excellent thing about titan books you can always count on a lot of skin when Koriander is caught up. The book takes us owing to each of the characters getting attacked by a touch metaphysical and coming together to see some of their former teammates that weren’t so lucky. Cyborg has been ripped to pieces, hawk and dove are in serious condition, son of Vulcan, lagoon boy and anima are comatose, small barda is critical and potential boy is dead. A lot of hurt has been done and it is all to clear who has brought this threat to the titans. Trigon is back. Raven’s demon father who brought the new teen titans together and started one of the greatest teams in the history of comics has done it again. I am so excited about this and can’t wait for the next come forth.

A assistant of mine just told me that he has the total collection from the very first one in mint condition. They’ve never been opened! Any thought what that total series would be worth today?
CAP didnt target heroes only those with weapons. The heroes got trounced because they interfered with its objective…Im sure he would have targeted those that use lethal weapons eventually but at this point he was going after the largest caches and the largest threat. Nuclear warheads and army installations, the main concentrations of weaponry. Following that, gangs or radicals and then after a point, single individuals. But having powers didnt make you a target.
