Charged on the reading high of finally reading the Carnage storyline in Ultimate Spider-Man issues #60-64 (cramming elements aplenty from the clone saga in a nice way (necessitated by the spoilt discovery of a major character development)), the load from Beckett Comics looked ready for standing order sampling.
Priming up the bridge was a free copy of Fallen Angel #1 finding its way into the box with no wraggling at all or even expectations. With the trade paperback out there for an easy sum under $20, there's still some hesitation on getting the next move after the first issue. The prospect of possibly landing inside the limited number for the tip-in plate doesn't even really weigh heavy. At issue with the issue is the cold of warming up to the lead Lee and her need to show how smart she is with every sentence. The final movement might have some resonance with the future or even current state of Lee, but perhaps a second reading will determine if a plunge will be worthwhile.
On the other half of the paper bag, the Beckett Comics (Ballad of Sleeping Beauty #2, Ruule #4 and Fade From Grace #1) marked a clearer line in the sandy wash of figuring out whether or not replacement titles will be soon added to the standing order. Feeling flat and read altogether within the span of ten minutes, these three made craving for their next respective issues harder to summon. Fade From Grace came close, the quirky feel, the different style of play, but fizzling toward the end hammered in the right that nothing was actually seizing in any way.
