Oh Shit!!! Another Massive Crossover??

I shouldn't be surprised, and I doubt that all of these predictions will be shown to be accurate, BUT the last one seems to be all too plausible. Of course Wizard will have far more access to corporate plans than I do, and I would look forward to a Hulk v Thor fight.

Some Comics Reviews

The local comics book shop (lcbs) is about 90 miles away. Yesterday, I spent around $20 in gas to buy $20 in books, probably not a good investment unless the psychic reward was really pretty big.

Omega Flight #4--I'm liking Talisman as a character. Beta Ray Bill needs to up the hammer usage a lot. The fight scenes just seemed confusing. Grade: C

JSA #7--I know that I'm close to AARP range, but I really had forgotten about the Nazi's raiding the picnic and I'm not sure that I needed to see that skirmish resolved. I like the idea that it takes time adjust to new super powers--the sidewalk and hospital floor destruction was amusing. The Superman/Starman exchange reminds me of conversations that I've had with my father--you know the one's that happen when fathers and sons talk past each other. The ending was too sentimental. Grade: B-

Dynamo5 #5--Great book--but the late? Captain Dynamo's illegitimate daughter doing an open mouth kiss with his widow--seriously, a little creepy no matter what form she's taking. Grade A-

The H1ghwaymen #1--I missed this one when it originally came out a few weeks ago. I like the old guys getting back in the game motif. It's worth looking at some more. Grade B+

WWH--Gamma Force--I bought it but I couldn't force myself to start it. I think that Marvel's release schedule turns the simple Hulk SMASH into a bewildered WTF? Plus, this one seems to be set long before Hulk was sent to Planet Hulk. Grade: Incomplete, but not looking too promising

GPA: C+ with the incomplete counting as a 0. I got Sonic limeade, so the trip was probably worth it.

My Favorite Stuff In 2018: Coffee, Stationery, & Folding Knives Edition

I hope to become an adult before I collect Medicare, but the odds aren't very good. I nerd out about a lot of stuff: comics, coffee, fou...
