Worlds’ Finest Huntress and Power Girl #15

Worlds’ Finest Huntress and Power Girl #15 – really this whole Dessad thing was just a lead up for a Forever Evil Tie in?  That is seriously disappointing.  I was thinking this story was getting better until the “cliffhanger” ending.   I have made no secret that I am unhappy with how DC Comics and this creative team have treated these two strong female characters that are the stars of this comic.  I do not like how suddenly as if by magic they cannot win any situation; their base of operations, their friends dying with no second thought by the creative team to how this will end.  Well now we know why the creative team was happy to ruin a really good comic.  They had to set things up for a mega-cross-over comic event.  Lame.

Robocop Last Stand #1

Robocop Last Stand #1 a Frank Miller Comic and all I have to say is it is about time!  It was the introduction issue so I was not expecting much but a lot of this issue felt more like filler than actual story.  Oh well there are eight more issues for the comic to improve.  The artwork is a bit over stylized and silly.  The art is really showing the age of the subject and it just looks bad.  Unfortunately I am sure that artwork is not going to improve that looks like a choice.  I have to say while the story so far felt like filler is not to say it was not good and interesting.

Avengers A.I. #2

Avengers A.I. #2  continues a short while after the end of the previous issue.  The Avengers A.I. team is trying to figure out the origin of a new android (for lack of a better category term other than robot) named Alexis.  The Vision as usual is being his logical best, Doombot still thinks it is Doctor Doom and acting like it, Victor Mancha is uncertain about his place in the team and Hank Pym is acting cool.  It turns out that the new villain Dimitrios is another A.I. that has taken over an old fully automated Iron Man armor and is trying to wage war on humanity.  He hijacks a Sentinel to attack Washington D.C. the attack fails of course, but not before giving Doombot a couple of fun lines before it loses its head in the fight; though it appears that the true plan of Dimitrios was actually to gain control of the Vision or at least access to his communication network making his monolog available to the entire world to view.  The monologue goes on and on for pages and could have been copied from any one of Magneto’s rants about mutants replacing humans.  But in this case replace mutant with A.I. and other mechanical / electrical based creatures taking over the world.  In other words just a bit of the same old same old in the Marvel Comics Universe.  But I must say the dialogue was good and the story was interesting.  Good stuff.   

Deadpool Kills Deadpool #2

Deadpool Kills Deadpool #2 and this is where it gets weird!  The story is actually sort of interesting here if somewhat confusing.   It is impossible to tell which Deadpool is trying to help out the “real”Deadpool and which Deadpool is trying to kill him.  But what can I say it is all very entertaining and someone has way way way way way to much free time on their hands if they can go about creating all these different Deadpools.  We visit a world that seems to be populated only by Deadpool variants of other Marvel characters.  Some of the Deadpools from the might Marvel Multi-verse are really crazy and could probably support at least an entire issue on their own.  But I have to give bonus points to Pandapool “the Species that endangers you!” and of course the Deadpool that shows up for the cliffhanger ending of this comic Galactuspool.
