The Marvel Adventures line is all that is good and right in comics. Self-contained, one story per issue, light, funny and well-written. This one is a new take on Ant-man Hank Pym's origin.
I love that he tried to market the helmet as a safe alternative to pesticide. (with the weather we've got the yearly invasion. I would love to order them to go away or least stay out of the margarine instead of putting down poison.) |

Watchmen Exclusive
Another trailer and interview with Zach Snyder. (More Dan this time! The slum fire!)
Y'know, they keep releasing these, and we're gonna at least see the good parts before Fox VS WB gets settled anyway.

A Royal Pain, by Rhys Bowen. 1932. Penniless Lady Georgie has a problem, the Queen has asked her to host Princess Hannalore of Bavaria, who has been invited in the hopes of turning the prince's eyes away from that dreadful Simpson woman. A nice light cozy mystery, with a couple of problematic scenes, but easily overlooked.
Dark Horse Comics: Indiana Jones Omnibus Vol. 2. I picked up Vol 1 a while ago as an impulse purchase at Borders. Well worth reading, great retro art and true to the spirit of the pulp adventures and the movies.
Ultimate Fantastic Four: 8 & 9...Devils and Silver Surfer. Meh. But I liked Ben Grimm's mom playing poker with army grunt Lumpkin. And Reed's kid sister Enid.
Tales Of Beedle The Bard: The last Harry Potterverse book. Nothing spectacular. |
