Thor Movie Review
So I just got back from seeing Thor. And it was a lot of fun. I think the movie was very successful in being pleasing to both fans of the characters and to those that have never read a comic book in their lives. It establishes all of the major characters related to Thor and makes makes Thor look like a bad-ass going into the avengers movie. The only problem I have with this movie is that I can't remember any reference to the avengers in the film. But I think if you go into it looking for a fun comic book movie you'll be happy with it even if you'vve never read a Thor comic or any comic for that matter. They struck a nice balance in taking the characters seriously but they still manage to have a few moments of humour. All in all its a fun summer blockbuster.

Batman Inc. #3 - I really like this title. This issue isn't amazing but it was fun.
The Incredible Hulks #624 - Really enjoying the savage land story. Can't wait to find out what happens next.
Batman & Robin #21 - This issue was pretty good. We find out a little about the "white knight" and it sets up for a strong conclusion to the story next issue.
Hulk #30 - This issue is promoted as a "Gamma-sized All-battle issue" And the fight doesn't disappoint. This issue is alot of fun with some very nice art.
Doom Patrol #20 - I really wish this book wasn't ending. I started reading it at issue 19 so I'll have to find the back issues cause this is great.
Batman Beyond #3 - A good conclusion to this story arc. Really enjoying this title has a great cartoon feel to it.
Weird Worlds #3 of 6 - This series is great. Each issue is divided up between three stories one featuring Lobo, one with not Swamp-thing aka Garbage-man, and one with Tanga. And they are all really good. Pick this up either in singles or as a trade.

Comic Review for Book Released Jan.19
DC:
Northlanders #36: This is the first issue of this series I've ever read and I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to more.
The Spirit #10: Within just a few issues this series has become one of my favorites that DC is publishing. You can easily start reading from here.
Batman #706: Tony Daniel Writes a decent batman but I really enjoy his art in this book maybe DC should find a better writer for one of their flagship titles. I mean it's not terrible you can read it and enjoy it but with batman I want more then that.
Superman/Batman #80: This issue was ok It's nothing amazing but it's ok.
JLA #53: This issue concludes the current story arc and well it's pretty anti-climatic in my opinion.
Marvel:
DeadpoolMAX #4: This issue was just a lot of fun and that's exactly what this series should be I'm really starting to enjoy this title.
The Amazing Spider-Man #652: Dan Slott's run on amazing spider-man enters its second story arc and I hope he stays on this book for a few years if he keeps putting out quality stories like this.
Thor: First Thunder #5 of 5: A nice conclusion to a mini-series designed to introduce readers to Thor. This is the series to give to someone that knows nothing about Thor before they see the movie this may.
Independents:
Simpsons Comics #174: A fun little issue were Lisa adopts an owl and Mr. Burn uses homer to drive down house prices so he can resell them for a profit. It was pretty funny and worth buying if you're a fan.
Darkwing Duck #8: A good conclusion to this story arc. This book is just so happy and fun anyone the doesn't enjoy it is probably lacking a soul.
Sonic Universe #24: Ending the current story arc. This book is a lot of fun and just a really enjoyable read.

Batman and Robin #19 - This ends the current story arc and well it was ok not the best this book has seen.
Superman #707 - This wasn't bad it just was more or less pointless you could skip this and not miss it except for maybe the last page but even that isn't anything that you have to read the story does nothing to really progress the arc. Not bad but skippable.

Reviews of Comics Released Dec.29 and Jan.5
Green Arrow #7 - I really love this book but to be honest this issue felt like filler good filler but still filler.
Batman: The Dark Knight #1 - I really enjoyed this issue David finch's art is great and his script is decent enough to get me to come back for issue two.
Detective Comics #872 - Scott Snyder has been nailing everything about this book since he took over writing and I can't wait to see what else he has planned.
Flash #8 - Another Rouges spotlight issue this one about the reverse flash and i really enjoyed it.
Deadpool Team-Up #886 - Fun issue like the team up with iron fist a character that needs a new ongoing! Worth buying.
Captain America #613 - It's Brubaker writing Captain America it's great.
Action Comics #896 - The First part of a secret cross-over and its a great start let's hope this gets more people to pick up secret six.
Avengers #8 - Promising start to a new story arc.
Jonah Hex #63 - A great issue but when was the last time Jonah Hex had an issue that wasn't great?
Azrael #16 - The end of this book is near and while I'll be sad to see it go it seems it will have a well thought out ending and not end without a resolution which is nice.
Weird Worlds #1 of 6 - This is an anthology book so each issue is divided up into three stories and they were all pretty good.
Scooby-Doo Where Are You? #5 - Two Stories in this issue and they are both good not great but good and enough fun for me to be happy with my purchase.
Batman Beyond #1 - The First issue of the new ongoing and it starts of pretty damn good lets hope it can continue.
Adventure Comics #522 - Fun issue not exactly great but I didn't feel like i wasted money on it. If you're not already buying this series don't start with this issue.
Just a quick note: It seems that I might not be able to get a new battery for my camera until the summer which really sucks so for the foreseeable future I'll just be posting text reviews I'm going to try to have them up most weeks at 5pm PST on Fridays but on weeks where i get like 20ish books it might not go up until Saturday if that's the case I'll tell you on twitter http://twitter.com/#!/kay19reviews
