To a scene already in progress

Freezing and sneezing with no alarm to mark any difference or change in time. Like nothing better to do than sit in the cold air reading off another batch of comics long overdue for some consumption...

Simpsons Comics #100

The Sergio Aragones splash page has found a way to warp the rest of the comic. Self-serving just like any other clip show, this was a luke warm and slightly disjointed look back over the course of the one hundred previous.

Ex Machina #4

Still going on with the smarts, this issue jumps a little back before going forth and delivering again why it's on the standing order.

Fables #32

Beauty and the Beast are left trying to run Fabletown and this certainly wasn't a good kind of jumping on point, so this stays in bed. Probably should find a way to catch up on the characters and their story since the first trade paperback.

The Intimates #2

It's like pop up video with super heroes. This issue, intended for another but kept on hand for the sake of testing it for the long box, sees constipated students front and centre. Really got into the overload of text running their madness on the pages. Two issues in and it looks like a couple are looking to break out.

Captain America and the Falcon #10

Joe Bennett squeezes in a nice shot of Agent Morales in a provocative position. Priest makes good again on the story and the development of characters in what little space there is. MODOK is really getting to be a fun little head turn.

The Detonator #1

Fingers in a fist ball and a story about explosions were the keys to picking this up. Now looking for a padlock to throwaway with this. No build to speak of, nor was there any hint of what this Frank is all about. Jumping out of buildings one minute, having sex the next, this is just all over the place. Like shards blown from a bonfire after a kid sneaks in a bottle of methylated spirits. Don't care at all.

Astonishing X-Men #6

Following the not so relevatory explosion of Colossus' return, this issue was an upbeat affair. Comedy is low key, high brow, and pretty much kept on popping up here and there to join in on the story. Things are getting deeper and further into the mess of what really is going on here with the mutant "cure" and the effects it could have. Good issue.
