Spoiler Alert. This week's comics seem like slim pickens! Besides Uncanny X-Men, the most interestin' superhero comic is the Mighty Avengers preview in Wizard 180. So let's just talk about last week's best comic: Justice 7 by Mr. Alex Ross, Doug Braithwaite, and Jim Krueger! I got a kick out of seein' Braithwaite and Ross draw my favorite second and third tier heroes from the DC Universe. Metal Men! Metamorpho! Doom Patrol! Black Adam! If this series ever gets the Absolute treatment, sign me up. There's a great double page spread where the heroes enter the Fortress of Solitude--for the second time this year, since All Star Superman #2--and the Titanic is there to the left!
I've been wonderin' how they were ever gonna get Aquaman back after Braniac cut out his brain. Now we know: they gave him a new power! Niles Caulder explains:
His cells will regenerate. He'll grow back anything that's lost. He really is a man of untapped potential. Extraordinary.
Holy spit! Ross is on a crusade to make the classic Aquaman cool again. Nuff said.
