Fables - Volume 1

Story by: Bill Willingham | Art by: Lan Medina, Steve Leialoha, & Craig Hamilton | $9.99 USD, $13.50 CAN | vertigocomics.com
My new favorite series!! Seriously. Being raised on Disney movies, I'm a big fairy tale fan. This book takes classic fairy tale characters and places them in a modern (and underground) setting. Before you poo-poo the book, let me tell you...it is not for kids. heh. There's all the good stuff; sex, violence, and wealth. I just ordered volume 2 from amazon because my comic book store is out...and I really just cannot wait to read the next trade!!

Not a whole lot needs to be said about this one. It pretty much is what it is. And it's a chunky one!

[2nd Printing, varient cover]
Can't we all just get along?! No...no, we cannot. This is a nice introduction to all the splintered teams; Omega Flight, The Thunderbolts, and The Mighty Avengers. There's definately some struggles among the teams...people are started to feel conflicted. Who will change teams...? Hmm...

Mighty Avengers - Issue #1

Story by: Brian Michael Bendis | Art by: Frank Cho | $3.99 USD, $4.75 CAN | marvel.com

Well, the back of the comic was a lame ad for Spidey 3 so I decided to leave that out. Did you like that movie btw? I heard it was lame. One of these days I'll begrudgingly sit my lazy bum down and watch it. Who the hell casted Kirstin Dumbst anyway?! But I digress.

The Mighty Avengers: The Initiative. Good stuff, even if Iron Man picked the wrong side. heh. Because of the recent Civil War, the Avengers have become divided into two main groups: the "let's sign up with The Man so he can make us do His bidding" group & the "actually, we like our civil rights" group (headed by Captain America). In this issue Iron Man is trying to figure out who his team will consist of...and he has a fancy computer full of all the heroes that are at his disposal to help him decide.
