Avengers #20
This issue feels like sudden buildup to something major that I feel like I'm missing. Of course, I haven't been reading the Avengers/H.A.M.M.E.R. War storyline is Osborn and New Avengers, so I just feel a little rushed into this story. Parts of this issue read like classic comics-and not in the best way. Oh well. At least there isn't any wonky Bendis dialogue or anything.
Green Lantern #4
This is the kind of comic that ends too soon. It's short and sweet-Johns writes a great story, like always, and Doug Mahnke's pencils are phenomenal. The cliffhanger is decent (though not as good as last issue), but the entire thing feels like it could've been done in the opening ten pages of the book. I'm not sure I understand how Hal was un-disintegrated.
Justice League #4
Johns is being Johns here, doing something few others can do: make Aquaman a badass. When Hal starts mocking Aquaman, you almost know what's going to happen. Now, we've got the entire team together. I'm just wondering how they'll come together as a real team and understand what the heck is going on in one issue-but I'm sure Johns'll manage it.
Avengers Academy #23
God, I love Avengers Academy. X-23 was a bit of a tease, as her presence is a bit of an add-on in this issue. There are great plot developments-Striker is--well, if you really want to know, look around in some older "Axle In Charge"s on CBR. I absolutely cannot wait to see more developments-both with the future Academy members and with the present day ones.
