Amazing Spider-Man #621 continues developing characters, shifting them around, moving them into places (metaphorically speaking). I continue to dislike the story that brought us to this Brand New Day, that the Pete/Mary Jane marriage had to be sacrificed to get us here, but the amount of creative energy that it sparked cannot be denied. So much of it could have existed with the wedding intact but, you know, let's not harp on that. Black Cat visits to help Spidey gets something back from Mr. Negative. Aunt May is still suffering the effects of Mr. Negative's touch and is much more, well, negative for it. Old friends reunite. And the Lizard is soon to return. Yay!
Punisher #14 continues the FrankenCastle storyline, providing us with some information on our bad guy. 'Alps is cold. Perfect temperature for the dish I'm going to serve him.' Ha!
Incredible Hercules #141 contains feats of great bravery, great courage, as well as great treachery. Not everyone will make it out alive. Since they're already announced the 'Hercules: Fall of an Avenger' mini-series, that should be a hint, huh? The how though? Woo-boy. Did not see that coming and maybe should have.
The Tick - New Series #2 is laugh out loud funny. It's like watching a new episode of the 1990s cartoon show. 'Climbing a series of ladders didn't work for Donkey Kong, and it won't work for you villain!' Add some great cartoon art as well as a subplot with Chairface Chippendale and mmmm, tasty!
Then I read Simpsons Comics #163 and laughed out loud more. This issue is written and drawn by legend Sergio Aragones. To say that he gets the Simpsons is an understatement. Homer is responsible for saving the plant from meltdown yet again before accidentally setting it back to meltdown. The meltdown alarm goes off about three or four times during the issue, with Springfield assuming the end is here every time. Senor Ding-Dong reappears! This should be an episode. Really.
