Retrospective in Comics

Bleeding on a dawn broken brain

Attempts to read early in the morning lead to waking up with a brain sloshing around in the skull. Nose bleeds can not be far behind. An apparent absence will most like drive the membrane to order a plasma run. If only...

Amazing Spider-Man #521

So, while staying at the Avengers Towers, Spider-Man takes a back seat in one of his own comics to watch as they try and figure out the brutal mess of an apparent resurgence of HYDRA. At this point, trying to recall much of anything that happened loads a bear onto the system. One without a hot plate.

The Grimoire #5

Quick and snappy, transitions between panels is abrupt and there is no time to lose in keeping up with the girl, a big bulky book and her racoon familiar/guide. Choppy changes shoe horn all sorts of little details, but despite this, the flow works pretty well, moving along at a reasonable pace. Whatever reasonable is.

Ultimate Spider-Man #81

Great opening shot of the recently broken Peter and Mary Jane through a sea of hallway noise and cafeteria chatter. Outside of that though, the memory just blanks out and there isn't anything from the rest of the issue that stands out. Quite possibly a remnant of not finishing the rest of the issue. Or simply not remembering anything from that moment on in the first instance.

Astonishing X-Men #11

Danger and Professor X tussle it out as they serve on two planes of reality. Physical and mental, the battle finally comes to a head. Only then to really kick it into high gear. There's a lingering note that the costume worn by Colossus really isn't meant to be worn when not in full body metal rings mode. Strong man carnival attire without the flair.
