Two weeks worth of comics that are better than what Megan Fox reads. I think I'll go to San Diego and shove them in her face whilst laughing at her inferior taste, making her cry in a pile of money and rich guys as a result.

Oh yeah, I should probably tease the reviews. I'm sticking with grouping everything in categories, and I'm starting with some Batman comics you may not have heard of. If you are new to comic book blogs, at least.

Reborn, Reschmorn; I'm Just Here For The Creative Teams- Batman and Robin #2 and Detective Comics #854

These are both worth it for the art. I like Morrison's story better (I hope no one died of shock over that one), but Rucka's was solid. Nice to see Batwoman get some character development, although that's really faint praise, given all we knew about her before now was that she is Renee Montoya's socialite ex-girlfriend. Also nice to see Rucka and Cully Hamner doing the Question, even if that was one hell of an abrupt ending.

Obligatory praise of Morrison and Quitely. In the spirit of reader participation, I'll let you all fill in the blanks. What else do you need to say besides "this was a comic by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. It is drawn well and is interesting." Well, okay, I did really like Alfred's pep talk and the way he gave Dick his motivation to be Batman. That's an underutilized part of Dick's character (says the guy who was read a total of zero issues of Nightwing). That's worth mentioning.

But really, I'm with these creative teams, I'm very happy to plunk down cash on these, even if they lack honest titles. I guess The Temporary Replacement Duo and Masked Lesbian Vigilante Two In One Don't roll off the tongue.

Also, an interesting debate broke out in the comments of Douglas Wolk's post about 'Tec in regards to following creators vs. following characters (well, sort of). Oh, and some guys says JH Williams III's art sucks. Don't see that every day.

Grant Morrison Wrote This One, Too- Seaguy: Slaves of Mickey Eye #3

So, yeah, that sure was the end of that story. Unlike a lot of Morrison written comics that I enjoy on a superficial level, I'm really not sure if there is much beyond the surface here (which is why people calling the first one unintelligible always bugged me; this is practically the most straightforward thing he has ever written!). I don't know why that bugs me, but it does. Although I'm not a decoder of his work, I do like knowing there's more below the surface. Of course, if there is, I'm probably ignorant of it here. Too bad other bloggers don't excessively delve in to his

That said, this was a very good comic book that I am glad I purchased, and I'm down for more adventures whenever Morrison, Cameron Stewart, and DC want to put them together. Where else am I going to see a tiny mad scientist riding a skeletal T-Rex? And, as always, Chubby Da Choona breaks my heart. I could also live with this as the ending, though. Maybe that's why it played out the way it did.

Marvel Team Books I Enjoy: Agents Of Atlas #7, Uncanny X-Men #512, Exiles #4, Secret Warriors #5

I'm going lightning round on these:

Agents- The recap pages alone makes this better than 99% of everything Marvel publishes. Nice that we got a back up without being taxed, and that Derek Khanata's back.

Uncanny- This is a jumping off point for me, at least until the crossover with Dark Avengers is over. It may be a good place for the rest of Fraction's run entirely, because I'm not sure he'll ever be able to top this, unless he gives us more stories with Steampunk Sentinels, thinly veiled Nikola Telsa, and the 19th Century's Hellfire Club. Or just throws Mark Twain in there and makes it a blatant sequel to the Five Fists of Science. I'd buy 8 copies of that every month.

Exiles- More pop culture references and a new artist, but otherwise, this is the same fun team book it was in Jeff Parker's* opening arc. I liked the swerve with the android coalition. I miss Salva Espin, but Kelley Jones and Karl Kesel are good replacements.

Secret Warriors- This reminded me a lot of GI Joe: The Movie. The original one. Unless someone announces that Sitwell's okay in a hastily thrown in caption next issue, I'm guessing that wasn't intentional.

And The Two Solo Marvel Hero Comics I Buy In Singles: Immortal Iron Fist #27 and Incredible Hercules #130

Iron Fist- This is a good way to end this volume. It's a pretty good jumping off point, really. I like the idea of an Immortal Weapons comic, especially with Jason Aaron involved, but I'll probably wait for the trade on it.

Incredible Herc- I hope Aegis winds up being resurrected. I like he and Cho as a duo. Zeus's trial has its moments, but it's probably my least favorite single issue of this run. That said, that's no bad thing. It's like being my least favorite hot actress who has terrible taste in comics. You're still a hot actress who is better than me at everything (I should really drop this now, shouldn't I?). Also, this is probably the best use of Uncle Ben since he died.

Licensed Comics: Buffy Season 8 #26 and Ender's Game: Recruiting Valentine One Shot

Buffy- It's probably a bad sign that I enjoyed this issue because the plot is finally moving, which means I'm closer to being able to finish the run. I hate being That Guy, but I am on board with this until they finish Season 8. That said, this was a legitimately good issue, with some laugh out loud moments (including a call back to Buffy's bi-curious moment) and a Seth Green variant cover. We need more of those.

Ender's Game- I got this for free. I came in not knowing much about the property (or its creator, beyond his views on homosexuality). So, I didn't know what to expect.

What I got was a perfectly okay if dull story about a little girl manipulating her teacher in to being less of a hard ass with his grading. In the future! This isn't representative of the stuff people swear by from Card, is it? At any rate, nice to see Timothy Green II, who really impressed me when he was drawing that Annihilation: Dirty Dozen With Rocket Raccoon mini. His work here is less impressive, but really, he doesn't get a lot to work with.

Beautiful Looking Viking comics With Stories I'm Not Entirely Sold On, But I will Buy Anyway Because Of The Novel Format And $2.99 Price Tag- Viking #2

Viking- That was the whole review up there.

Every Comic Book Blogger Is Required By Law To Review This- Captain America Reborn #1

When the recap ends and the plot begins, this gets good. And hey, I appreciate the sop to accessibility, even if it seems optimistic that a ton of people who don't know The Death of Cap storyline inside and out are going to be picking this up. This towed the line between being an event comic and a $4 issue of Brubaker's Cap well, and that's all you can ask. That, and my not feeling any cognitive dissonance when Hitch drew Captain America and he wasn't an a-hole make me glad I picked this one up.
