Comics from 06/09/2007 : part 2

Yeah, I know this is already the next week, but life happens.

Daredevil: Battlin' Jack Murdock #4 (of 4) : An interesting ending, with Jack figuring out Matt is Daredevil, deciding he can care for himself, and deliberately "suiciding" himself by winning the fight. It doesn't really redeem the boring previous issues (do we really need yet another retelling of Daredevil's origin, even from his father's perspective ?) or the high price point, but the twist is Okay enough.

Captain America: the Chosen #1 (of 6) : Boring, though the ending twist might indicate that things will pick up next. Awful opening, though.

Iron Man: Enter the Mandarin #1 (of 6) : No interest, and already forgotten anything about it. Eh.

New Excalibur #23 : Wow, this series has really lost the plot. I don't care at all for the alternate evil X-Men, and the regular cast barely appears. And still one issue to go... Crap.

Fantastic Four & Power Pack #3 (of 4) : Fun, and a nice old-school twist. Good.

White Tiger #6 (of 6) : A bit anticlimactic, especially after the months of wait. Fun team-up, though. Okay.

All-New Atom #15 : And now, after a pointless Countdown tie-in, we resume the ongoing story. Problem : though there are nice gags, Simone tries too hard, and the result is not so funny nor fun. A low Okay.

Supergirl #21 : Resuming the ongoing story after Amazons Attacks... Oh, wait, it's a Countdown tie-in. And one of its most boring threads, too : Karate Kid. Shame for the good art and the decent script. Awful.

Infinity Inc. #1 : This could go either way. Milligan is in his element, what with the neurosed former heroes ; on the other hand, I don't see much plot or compelling characters yet. Okay for the moment.

Y the Last Man #58 : Very mawkish issue, and the closing cliffhanger is a bit melodramatic. I'm not sure how Vaughan can pull off a satisfying ending in the last two issues, but we'll see. Okay.
