BATMAN '66 #1 $3.99
Writer: Jeff Parker, Artist: Jonathan Case

Verdict: STRONG BUY
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #6 (TRINITY) $3.99
Writer: Geoff Johns, Jeff Lemire, Artist: Doug Mahnke
I don’t like Doug Mahnke's art for this book at all but I have to admit that there are a few damn good looking spreads in this. The story is good, interesting, and well paced but I just couldn't warm up to the art. It doesn't look right to me on this title. It just doesn't fit. It's not bad. It just irritated me and stopped me from being fully immersed in the captivating story. I really like how the fight stopped as fast as it started. It was great that it happened, made a point, then moved on instead of being an onslaught of issues where the heroes just beat the hell out of each other for almost the entire event like what Marvel has been doing with their events. I like where this is going so far as it seems like there are mysteries to unravel and be solved in the midst of all this confusion where Superman killed somebody. The story alone is easily worth it even if you're like me and don't care for the art in this issue.
Verdict: BUY
TMNT VILLAIN MICROSERIES #4 ALOPEX $3.99
Writer: Brian Lynch, Artist: Ross Campbell

Verdict: BUY
CABLE & X-FORCE #11 $3.99
Writer: Dennis Hopeless, Artist: Salvador Larroca

Verdict: STRONG BUY
Writer: Sam Humphries, Artist: Adrian Alphona, Dalibor Talajić
This book is so weird. Its not even about X-Force or any of the other characters in this book. The only characters this book is about now is Psylocke, Fantomex, Cluster, and Weapon XIII. The art seems very European by that I mean its fluid, the lines are really thin, and it kind of looks like water colors. I don't care for the art style at all. Something about art is its subjective so different strokes for different folks, literally. I dont hate it I just cant bring myself to buy this book because I cant stand the look and feel of the art. The story isnt bad. Right now what has happened is Weapon XIII has kidnapped Psylocke to get her to fall in love with him. Yes its a little stockholm syndrome-y. Little backstory here is that Fantomex, Cluster, and Weapon XIII all use to be one person, Fantomex. At some point they split into three. Fantomex no longer has his misdirection power, Cluster is a female version of Fantomex that he gets incestous with from time to time, and Weapon XIII is the evil one that now has Fantomexs misdirection ability. Anyways Weapon XIII wine and dines Betsy in a mental wonderland with his misdirection and you see how weird, creepy, and messed up her relationship has been with Fantomex and Cluster. Psylocke is completely aware of what Weapon XIII is doing as he informs her. In the end he doesnt really seem like that bad of a guy especially considering hes suppose to be the evil one. That being said I dont read this title to find out about Weapon XIII trying to woo Psylocke or how weird the realtionship is between her, Fantomex, and Cluster. Crossing that line with your female double still seems creepy and gross in an incestious way. I dont read this book for that crap. I read this book for Storm, Puck, Bishop, and Psylocke before she got all weird. For now this book is not for me. I'll get back to it when its actually about the Uncanny X-Force and not some stockholm syndrome, incest crap. It might be for some people but its defintely not for me.
Verdict: weak SKIM
