Welcome to another edition of Sunday Comics! Just a reminder: I'll be doing these on a monthly basis now, and not biweekly. The change comes because I've just been reading fewer comics lately because of time constraints.
Invincible Iron Man (2015- ) Issue #2
Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Artist: David Marquez
Rating: 4 Stars
I've said before that I'm not usually an iron man fan, but I tried this newest series on a whim, and found it to be actually very good. I like the direction, and while I'm still not sure what the plot is exactly, I feel like it's moving in positive direction. Tony working with Doom is certainly not where I thought it would go, but I embrace it.
Secret Wars Issues #2, #3
Writer: Jonathan Hickman
Artist: Esad Ribic
Rating: 4.5 Stars
A very compelling story that I'm glad I'm finally getting to. Issue #2 was the most interesting so far, and I can't wait to explore this new universe and see where everyone has ended up. Issue #3, while I had high expectations, failed to deliver since it was mostly just a "reintroduction" of characters plus some background information. Really eager for things to start happening again.
Captain America: Sam Wilson (2015- ) Issue #2
Writer: Nick Spencer
Artist: Daniel Acuna
Rating: 4.75 Stars
Like with Iron Man, I've never really been a fan of Captain America comics. I have tried some in the past, but none really clicked with me. With Sam at the head, though, I absolutely love them! I think (and this is hard to say since I love Steve in the movies) Sam is probably my favorite version of Captain America. It's hard to explain why, but issue two pretty much cements it for me.
All-New X-Men (2012-2015) Issue #10
Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Artist: Stuart Immonen
Rating: 4 Stars
I'm glad to finally return to this series after taking a break for a bit. I love these characters, and I like the direction it's all headed. I do still feel a bit like I was thrown into a story I don't completely understand, so I wish there was more backstory given for certain characters, but that also entices me to go back and read earlier series'.
New Avengers (2015- ) Issue #2
Writer: Al Ewing
Artist: Gerardo Sandoval
Rating: 4.5 Stars
The best part of this issue was highlighting each characters strength and showing why they're a good team in the first place. I was feeling a bit like they were thrown together randomly, so I'm glad to see it all working out for the better at this point.
Spider-Man 2099 (2015- ) Issue #2
Writer: Peter David
Artist: Will Sliney
Rating: 3 Stars
While issue one ended on a fantastic and unexpected plot twist, issue two just couldn't do it for me. The story struggled to keep me entertained and I just wasn't interested in the hero or the villain. Someday I'll probably return to this story, but not right now.
