Quick and Dirty Reviews


Hawkeye Dark Reign
I'm happy to see something I bitch about actually being done (one shots on the Thunderbolts/Avengers), I don't pretend to take the credit but I like to think my brain waves are reaching people.

That being said... meh.

We already know Bullseye is a cold blooded killer, having him run around in purple tights, doing what everyone expects him to do is boring. Capital B. boring. What was the point of this issue? It brings nothing new to the story line, it offers no real plot twists or motivations.

Bullseye kills a few folks and has a disagreement with Osborn. Woop dee doo.

Try again, this time channel a little bit of Dexter into the character, get into motivations and develop his psychology more. Maybe Osborn has some sort of traumatic information he's holding over Bullseye, or the other way around.

Just don't write another one of these.

All New Savage She Hulk
This concept has real promise, there is very little I hate about this book and many things I like. Thundara & Hulks kid? Fantastic. Much better than that idiot Skarr rag, you call a best seller. This character could be everything She-Hulk should have been and more. Ditch the talking tamogachi bracelet and pump up the femdom-rage and I'm a happy guy. I think She-Hulk is going to get her clock cleaned, unless she's hulking out she's just another rate C strong person. Thundara blood however is strong enough to take on the Thing.

I'd love it if this character could be taken seriously, even turned into a Wonder Woman of the Marvel Universe. My gut tells me this is only a limited thing and poor writing is going to drag it down into forgettableville. If you took some time and developed the character more, this could be an amazing comic book.

Ultimate Hulk vs Wolverine #4
Hahahahahahahahaha.... hahah... ha... hold on... let me catch my breath.

A) I hate all things Ultimate, so I wasn't expecting much.
B) The fact that this book has taken longer than a Blizzard game release to show up on shelves is punctuated by the fact that Wolverine and the Hulk do not fight... at all, in this issue. Too funny.

Wait for it... wait for it.... no. really. Wait for it. Next issue, maybe. ;)
