One last blasting batch

Few days remain in this period of rest. The run up toward getting back into a dreary day and regulated sleep apnoea welcome. Taking it all in...

Conan #10

Solid fury, held back and there are no heads flying off their shoulders. Instead, a tale featuring a murder prepared and served earlier in the time line, but still within this comic. A great handle on the other characters, but Conan is left with few words to show his stuff.

Ultimate Fantastic Four #9

Great all out action issue. The team are brought to shine in this where they are finally proving to themselves on how far and hard they can push their limits. Both Sue and Johnny happen upon that threshold.

Ex Machina #5

The linger mystery affecting the streets finally comes to ahead and ends on a move away from the setup drops along in the previous issues. Somewhat tense on seeing how close to breaking the relationships were.

Plastic Man: On the Lam

Just a rollicking ride. Balls out all over the place in terms of comedy. Plastic casing definitely reeked though, the stench a little overpowering in the first whiff. Too squashed and easy an ending though.

Astonishing X-Men #7

The Fantastic Four guest star and really bring this one up, which up until now has felt only marginally a fun title. Sure, it was a great opening reintroduction. This issue seemed to rip into the whole celebrity thing about super heroes fighting for their share.

Don't Eat the Electric Sheep #1

A lesser version of Aeon Flux comes to mind on reading this. There is no story and it feels rather plucked of any real reason for being. The backup story actually did more to do something as opposed to the nothing of the first half. Painful in a little way, but not enough. This isn't a well done introduction.
