Batman: The Widening Gyre #6 Rant/Review

Very brief review of Batman: The Widening Gyre #6: it is trash. Kevin Smith has proven to me that he is not the guy to writea Batman book. The comic reads as if Smith just took one of his Clerks story and put Dante in the cowl. Also the story itself is uninteresting and tired. How many different women has Bruce thought about hanging up the cape for. And if that is not enough, Batman wets himself. Yep, that's right Batman urinates with his tights on. Awesome. Spoiler Alert: A betrayal means nothing if the charters that back stabs the other is a person we care little or nothing about. End of Spoiler. The art has improve since Cacophony, but still ain't great.

My final thought:

F*** this book.

Cornbread's Favorite and Least Favorite Comics of the Week - 3/10

Favorite Comic: Prelude to Deadpool Corps #2

This was the funniest comic I have read in a long time. I was kind of skeptical of how Deadpool Corps was going to be (being the 4th Deadpool monthly and all) since the first issue was just okay, but the second issue just blew me out of the water. First and foremost, Johnson's covers are fantastic, and I love how he is doing a 5 part connecting cover for this mini. What made this book so great was how hilarious the alternate universe in the story was prefect. In this issue you are following Corps member Kidpool who is a smart ass Wade Wilson who is going to an Xavier institution and the story just has him harassing Cyclops the entire time, which I thought was great because I am not a fan of Mr. Summers. Aside from the constant harassment, there is a witty Professor X who is trying to get with Emma Frost the entire time, which proves to be hilarious.

In addition to being an all around great book, this issue has helped me in making a difficult decision I have been faced with...whether I like the way Gishler (Merc w/a Mouth) writes Deadpool or how Way (Deadpool) writes the character. If Deadpool Corps proves to be good, and if Merc keeps being a solid book I think I am going to have to pick it up.
