LWIC: Sinestro Has A Silly Hair Cut… Good Thing It’s The BLACKEST NIGHT!
Last Week In Comics:
A fresh take on 5 day-old comics.
Amazing Spider-Man #607
Peter Parker is no longer married to a supermodel, and has returned to his normal mumbling moronic self when approached by a girl. Recently the Chameleon hooked Pete up with his current roommate Michelle, who Pete never really had any interest in… other than the one night stand after his aunt’s wedding. Not only is his roommate jonesing for him, his coworker Nora is interested in Pete and MJ has returned to the mix. You would think that with all of the female problems that Pete is having, he would love slipping into his costume and use Spidey as an escape, but… The Black Cat is back along with her Bad Luck powers and her thing for Spider-Man. LWIC:
- There is something funny but uncomfortable seeing Spider-Man waking up after a one-night-stand with Felicia Hardy (The Black Cat) and being chased out of the hotel room muttering the following line:
- I almost forgot there was a real crime committed last issue that tied into this issue… I guess the relationship stuff overpowered the super-hero part of the story.
With only two bullet points worth noting in this comic, its safe to say that Peter’s personal life is enough to carry a comic, but that is something I don’t want to see three times a month. Lets hope there is a healthy dose of super-heroics mixed into future issues along with personal crises.
Blackest Night: Green Lantern #46
It was recently relieved that the Black Lanterns light can only be completely destroyed by pure white light created fromthe emotional spectrum from each of the different colored Lantern Corps’ light. The battles all over the universe continue including Earth, and Hal Jordan rejoins the fight where it started – Space. LWIC:
- Sinestro is fighting the Star Sapphires to collect the members of his “Fear” Corps who are imprisoned by the “Love” Lanterns.
- Hal Jordan is ripped away from Earth by one of the Indigo Tribe (link) and joins his arch enemy and his former lover.
- The three Lanterns are immediately taken away from that battle so that Sinestro can battle and take control of his corps back from Mongul.
- After an awesome battle Sinsetro regains control of his Sinestro Corps and the Indigo Tribe hopes that with him in control their yellow light can help battle the Black Lanterns… including Sinestro’s recently risen mentor and former lover.
With exciting fights that are full of action and dialog that all moves the overall story forward this comic may return the Blackest Night back to elite status in collection.
Blackest Night: Titans #2
The first issue of this series focused on the original Hawk, Hank Hall, returning from the dead to kill the new Hawk and Dove. Hawk and Dove are not the only honorary (not current) Titans attacked, the main team is also attacked by once dead teammates and family. LWIC:
- Donna Troy’s creepy ass ex-husband and baby return from the dead… as if he wasn’t creepy and zombie like when he was alive.
- Both Hawks are now zombified and after Dove.
- Dove still seems to be colorless in the emotional spectrum that the Black Lantern’s view their prey with.
- The rest of the Titans fight back against traitor Terra and the other ex-Titans who are back from the dead with a black power ring.
- Donna has some kind of “zombie like” symptoms after being bit in the neck by her once dead baby… ouch.
Of all the tie in series this one is the weakest. If it wasn’t for me being intrigued by the fact that Dove shows no emotion, or color on the “lantern spectrum” will keep be coming back to this title until the conclusion/explanation.
Superman #692
Superman left Earth to join, and spy, on the people from his home world on New Krypton. With Superman off planet and Earth about wage war on all Kryptonians, he left his childhood friend Mon-El (from Daxam, not Krypton) in charge of protecting Metropolis. Since then the US Government, lead by General Sam Lane, has continued to work behind the scenes to fuel the hatred of Kryponians on Earth. With kryptonite powered agents posing as members of the Superman family, General Lane’s soldiers murdered Mon-El and wreck havoc on Metropolis’ sewers. LWIC:
- After Supergirl, Nightwing, and Flamebird supposedly killed Mon-El the world officially hates all Kryptonians and the point is hammered home in this issue.
- The Guardian and his crew bust some more criminals and then goes out for a beer.
- During the bar scene the Guardian tells his crew to pour a little beer out for their fallen member – Johnathan Kent.
- During the same bar scene the Guardian tells the Science Police that Johnathan Kent was Mon-El’s secret identity.
- It’s relieved that the Guardian isn’t the only relative of the original Jim Harper on the Science Police.
- Oh, and Mon-El isn’t dead, and he isn’t happy to be captured by General Lane.
Ok, this comic really bothered me. REALLY BOTHERED ME! The reason it bothered me is the fact that the Guardian told everyone that Kent was Mon-El. I wonder if anyone else will put two and two together that Clark KENT was missing while Superman was dead in the 90’s and that he is on leave from the Daily Planet now that Superman is off world. Hmm…

And then word will get out and Ma Kent will get shot and Clark and Lois will have to sell their marriage to Neron. Not good!
Why didn’t they just go with Bob Cobb (or Robert or Bobby)?
