Now Playing Tracks

Finally broke down and read a couple of Marvel Now! relaunches. Captain America #1 was an okay read. The art severely hurts this title as JRJR is just phoning it in, hoping his name alone will do the work for him. As for the story, it’s well written and leaves you wanting to know where it goes from here.. but at the same time, feels out of place. It almost reminds me too much of an old Fantastic Four story: Man & Woman on a date. Bad guys intervene. Couple gets separated. Man gets launched to an alternate dimension. Over all, Cap gets 2.5/5. Then we have Indestructable Hulk #1. All I have to say is holy crap, Mark Waid does it again! This book actually pissed me off when it ended because I wanted to keep reading. Awesome art from Leinil Yu, BTW.. a HUGE difference between the crap in Captain America that Romita, Jr is trying to call art these days. I’m definitely looking forward to the rest of this series. Indestructable Hulk gets a 4.5/5. PS: Marvel, please ditch the AR stunt. Post BTS videos on the website if you wanna share, just keep that awful logo from trashing the artwork in my books.
